Re: [Avid-L2] Re: I read the news today, oh boy,..

Particularly if it was played on the same screen. We humans don't even resolve to 8K though, so we blow it up, wrap it around us and enjoy that IMAX experience (mostly).

My brain is not a big fan of IMAX or 3D, except on special occasions. I can't imagine a steady diet of it.

With actual "film" shoots dying out, it's kinda interesting that some directors are starting to shoot IMAX sequences inside of major blockbuster releases.

Maybe the whole 4K thing is just another quick stepping stone,..? Yesterdays news, Oh Boy.
