Almost as funny as how badly you constructed that sentence.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 12-05-2010 07:14 PM                    quote: John Wilson Almost as funny as how badly you constructed that sentence.

It will fill 3/4ths, only leaving some black at the top of the screen. Better then a crappy transfer that leaves big black bars on top and bottom. Will have more after Monday Morning  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-10-2010 10:49 AM                     The big question will be how badly Blur-O-riffic the native 1080p video image quality ends up being when blown up to IMAX size. I have not been impressed at all by other video-originated movies blown up to IMAX. I'm not sure how this will be any different. It's one area where film-based IMAX may have no advantage at all over the movie shown in a Lie-MAX installation.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-10-2010 11:51 AM                        It should look pretty good...as most of the Tron world is CGI right? so can't they output that at any rez they want? 2k-8k?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-10-2010 01:17 PM                     The movie, at least all of the 3D stuff, was recorded using dual 1080p HD quality electronic cameras. Native 2K is all viewers will get. In doing 3D CGI, that kind of busts the budget for doing 4K or better quality renderings. A pair of 2K renderings will have to suffice.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-10-2010 05:27 PM                     I've been look at the trailer for the past 8 months and its looked good. I don't think it will be an issue Bobby. Our tech was in this week and he had just come from showing it to the Director and had seen it about 4 times and he said it looks good and is fun to watch.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-13-2010 12:23 PM                     quote: Kurt Zupin It will fill 3/4ths, only leaving some black at the top of the screen. Better then a crappy transfer that leaves big black bars on top and bottom. Bet it will be like "AVATAR" on the DVD/BR release then - using a 1.77:1 picture ratio.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 12-14-2010 10:58 AM                     Is anyone planning to go see this in IMAX? I'll propably go next week when I get paid. Hopefully better image quality than Inception.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-14-2010 01:24 PM                     quote: Kurt Zupin Better th[a]n a crappy transfer that leaves big black bars on top and bottom. How can it be considered crappy to adhere to an original aspect ratio?  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-14-2010 02:22 PM                     Probably should of worded it diffrent, films like Eclipse and Shrek are movies that shoudn't be made into IMAX films. I would ever argue INCEPTION shouldn't of either. If showing it in IMAX adds nothing to the experience then it really is a "crappy" transfer. Never said anything about aspect ratio. If your watching a film on a 60' screen and you are seeing about 40% of hte screen covered your usually not happy. Tron adhere's to its orginal aspect ratio, and it fills almost the entire screena for almost 50% of the time and looks sharp. Michael Brown, if your only going to see it once then it needs to be seen in IMAX. You see it in Digital and your not going to get the aspect changes.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-14-2010 04:54 PM                     quote: Kurt Zupin If [you're] watching a film on a 60' screen and you are seeing about 40% of [the] screen covered [you're] usually not happy. Sounds like evidence this IMAX DMR thing was a terrible idea.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-14-2010 11:52 PM                     Thanks for the grammer corrections Micheal...  |  IP: Logged
