The best Imax experience I had

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2017)

This was the first time that I had seen a film presented in 70mm, since the last time I went to the Imax in New Orleans, the Imax Entergy theater.It was those full shot on Imax film featurettes.I saw this one at the McWane Center in Bham Ala.I was surprised for this was the first time that I saw an Omnimax presentation, the film projected.A huge circular screen.It brought you into the film as almost as 3d does.The
scene where the soldier is running from the others shooting at him, where this one soldier jumps from this brick fence.Although a little distorted, being shown in circular Imax.The film almost looked digital, but, film these days are so tough it can break projector down.Now there is no leading star in this film it seemed all the people playing soldiers were the stars.I think this was humor, but a British man, played by Mark Rylance and his son, some blond actor, I Think Tom Glynn Carney, wants to go to Dunkirk to help with the war, in their small boat. The best friend of the young man.played by Barry Keoghan, who later ends up being knocked down on the boat, after the older man and his son picked up a disturbed soldier the kid ends of blind and later picked up many other soldiers, the kid is dead by that time.There is one of the soldier who survived and want to avoid getting killed, like he wants to get out of it and another solder too, who later is accused of being a spy.One of the actors I kept seeing as one of the heads waiting with all the other soldiers to move.I kind of had gotten confused with this pic.Maybe the circle screen was distracting me from the story. Were they, the soldiers leaving from France or going to France from to England? the captain looked familiar.Later on, the name was shown at the end Keneth Branagh as commander.He sure changed.There was an intense scene where soldiers were hiding under a ship and some one fell into the ship but was not the enemy, but out side, the enemy was shooting bullets through the ship causing it to sink forcing many of the soldiers to get out. Another scene where some soldiers are invited to a ship where they are given food, but the younger one stays out just in case the ship gets hit. The enemy hit the ship and everyone goes under water. The younger soldier on top of the sinking submarine is about to jump off the ship, but decide to help the other soldiers out of it.There were many good scenes.I almost got confused with Dunkirk being the invasion of Normandie, but that was different, aka, The Longest Day. The scenes kept switching to Cinemascope letterbox back to 70mm the contrast and color seem to differ from 35mm to 70mm.You notice the quality of the film. The 70mm scenes were of the best quality.Although the sound was a little too loud drowning some effects out although this screen was even bigger than the Imax at the Grauman's. This kind of Imax screen is not good for all movies presentations, it is away to get people of the cable and the internet.Excellent war movie, Fun for everyone.A bit Bazzare being shown on circular screen.Love it. 08/31/17
