WHY YOU NEED TO SEE OPPENHEIMER IN 70MM
Brave the year’s most powerful movie
Traditionally, 70mm film has been the preserve of stone-cold epics, from Lawrence Of Arabia to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Fast-forward to modern times and Oppenheimer firmly belongs in that category.
An early frontrunner for the year’s most visceral film, this shattering event movie is unforgettable when watched at our standard cinemas – but simply unbeatable on the 70mm format that brings the Trinity Test searing off the screen.
As a director who has championed 70mm with his past movies like Dunkirk and Tenet, Christopher Nolan has no doubt of the power this classic film format brings to Oppenheimer.
For his latest 70mm showstopper, the maestro delivered 53 reels of celluloid, stretching 11 miles, with no fewer than 260,006 frames, to the famous ODEON Luxe Leicester Square.
“This is why we’re all here,” says Nolan. “It’s what we do. This is film. Every digital format so far devised is just an imitation of film.”

sorted byIf it's not the BFI, the london science centre or the printworks in manchester you aren't getting the full imax 70mm in the UK.
HD lets you see all the wrinkles and pores of the actors - not very nice.
It's ridiculously loud.
It's 3 hours (plus the trailers)
Over-hyped and very slow moving
Really can't understand what the fuss has been about
Save yourself the £3 and wait for it to come on TV (and switch over after 10 min)
I saw the movie at a regular sized screen at the Vue Leicester Square and I have to say I am wondering how much difference it really makes to see it on 70mm or IMAX - while I understand the logic for movies like Avengers Endgame or The Dark Knight Rises which I loved in IMAX with lots going on in the frame at any given time with a movie like Oppenheimer does it really make a difference on 70mm or IMAX? Anyone who has watched in both regular and other formats can tell me? (edited)
The loud bangs woke up a lot of people that were sleeping.
I paid £21 for go see this at the Imax & it was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life
While it hasn't quite done Barbie levels of success for a 15 rated war film that would go nicely on a binge with Imitation Game & Saving Private Ryan this has done incredible numbers
Be amazed if doesn't sell out by tomorrow night
Ha, went for it in the end, cheers OP (edited)
I really recommend the Kevin Costner Movie "13 Days" as a kind of sequel to Oppenhemier.
It has a very similar pacing to me and also being about the Cuban missile crisis it continues the theme of the ending of Oppenheimer
Its available on Amazon Prime for "free"
Of all the people I know who don't go to the cinema as much any more, not a single person listed the reason being the price. It's because of the uncomfortable seats, the scrotes on their phones, etc. The cinema has become an uncomfortable, annoying experience, cause they're catering to the £4.99 crowd.
But I think they're learning, with PLF screens becoming more popular, and luxury cinemas doing better and better.
Only the BFI around Waterloo and cineworld are proper imax in London.
Also the science museum but obvs don’t show movies.
Aren't films made on digital media and use digital projectors these days? What exactly is "70mm" then?
