The Dark Knight Rises

In some ways I like the full mask better than that thing he's wearing, that looks almost like it was maybe stolen from a predator.

The entire mask would hold back Tom Hardy's amazing acting

Full mask = dumb

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I will say the video quality is good, but the audio is just utterly amazing. Plus we also get the IMAX fluctuating aspect ratios.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Always wish there was that "non-switching" option.

Also, got to see screengrabs. No EE!

I for one love the switching. Especially on the imax scenes. Feels like I'm at the theater

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I typically don't notice after the first 5-10 minutes of the movie.

Again, would just like the option.

You don't know how many people I showed TDK to I had to actually pause the film to explain what was happening with the shifting AR. They kept asking each time and I was like, ".... it just does, okay?" Some people who see it in IMAX don't even get it. Consistency isn't that bad of an option.

I typically don't notice after the first 5-10 minutes of the movie.

That's because the first 5-10 minutes contains all IMAX footage.

If you indeed saw this film in IMAX, there are two or three extremely disruptive moments when it goes from non-IMAX to IMAX within the same scene. Yes, it took me out when they happened.

Of any movie is what I meant as I was referring to the black bars. Even with TDK's IMAX opening I don't remember the switching being disruptive.

I like the switching but can understand why it can be disruptive. If only it were feasible to have shot the entire movie with IMAX cameras. That would've been amazing.

Gotcha.

It wasn't as disruptive in TDK because it switches to black bars during a night scene in the beginning. It's almost not noticeable that they make the transition on you. There is really only one instance it feels weird in TDK, and that's during the Lamborghini scene.

In TDKR, the times I felt it was really bad and noticeable was:

Spoiler

- The dive bar scene when Selina is negotiating with Stryver about the deal that they made, then they go into their fight.

- As Selina leads Batman to Bane, it transitions when he walks onto the platform and the gate shuts on him.

- Then there's a random one when Bruce wakes up from his bed as Fox is outside about to tell him that he is bankrupt.

These weren't only shifting AR issues. Everything changed about the look, especially the first one I mentioned. It didn't even feel like it was the same scene. In regular theater, the change didn't look so bad. In IMAX, the quality of the picture and frame change (as well as the AR) was distracting, but definitely not detracting (as in, obviously the IMAX shots look so much better that there isn't actually any bad in including it, but anyone who saw it at an IMAX theater can't say the change wasn't "noticeable," even if it was for the better yet for the less consistent).

Don't make me sound more anal than I should haha. It isn't just a "Blzer" thing and options are always welcomed. That's all I'm saying.

Let me assure you that I would be less satisfied with a consistent 2.40:1 film only and no IMAX option. I just would like to see both. They did it for Revenge of the Fallen.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Ah so that explains the AR shifts.....

I always noticed it but then when it switched to IMAX I was like "oh action scene coming up" LOL

[goh]

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

There's no Bane subtitle option. All or nothing.
