According to a statement made to AP by Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer is shot in IMAX and film and uses “11 miles of film stock”.
The director himself is in awe of the film's visual quality, he admitted: “The sharpness and the clarity and the depth of the image is unparalleled.”
“The headline, for me, is by shooting on IMAX 70mm film, you’re really letting the screen disappear. You’re getting a feeling of 3D without the glasses. You’ve got a huge screen and you’re filling the peripheral vision of the audience. You’re immersing them in the world of the film.”
Oppenheimer will be released in theatres on July 21, alongside Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
