Christopher Nolan Suggests Best Seat For Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan shared the best format and his favourite seat to watch Oppenheimer in an interview with the Associated Press

According to Nolan, the ultimate viewing experience for Oppenheimer is in the in IMAX 70mm format

This is because the movie was filmed entirely on large format film using IMAX cameras

Technically, the IMAX film resolution is about 10 times more than a 35mm projector where each frame has near 18,000 pixels of resolution

Oppenheimer is shot in the aspect ration IMAX 1.43:1, making it the best option to view the film

This format makes the screen essentially disappears for the audience providing a fully immersive experience

Sharing his personal preference for the best seat in the theatre, Christopher Nolan said, “When I’m in a theatre that’s Cinemascope ratio, I like to be right near the front, middle of the third row”

“When I’m in a stadium, IMAX 1.43:1, then I actually like to be a little behind the centre line right up at the middle. So, a little further back”

Oppenheimer is all set to lease in the theatre on July 21 worldwide

The cast features many big Hollywood actors like Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh and more
