Creating images with the intention of being a “large-scale event movie”



Above all, the expression of Timothee Chalamet, who plays the main character Paul Atreides, as he struggles against his irresistible destiny, is projected on the big screen without any cut-offs, and with his skin tone maintained without blown out highlights, which makes both men and women feel emotional. I feel like I'm being moved by this. However, the reverse is also true, and IMAX creates an impact by showing the strange appearance of the ominous characters in close-up shots. In particular, the intimidating role and presence of Baron Harkonnen, played by Stellan Stelsgård, is similar to Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) in Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now Now (1979). It's reminiscent of. In turn, the panoramic view of Arrakis covered in dust will overlap with director David Lean's epic historical drama `` Lawrence of Arabia '' (1962). It can be said that these pieces truly embody what Villeneuve calls a ``homage to the Big screen experience.''

However, cinema complexes that have IMAX theaters are concentrated in large cities, and the only places in Japan where you can watch 1.43:1 are ``109 Cinemas Osaka Expo City'' in Osaka and ``Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro'' in Tokyo. Limited to auditoriums. Until now, people have been asked to refrain from traveling across prefectures, but now that the state of emergency has been lifted, I personally would recommend viewing the film on a road trip in the same format. That's because it's well worth watching.


Of course, there is no difference between versions with various aspect ratios, and each frame configuration reflects the creator's intentions, and each DUNE has its own unique value. First of all, I would like you to give up your ascetic mindset of ``limiting yourself to this one choice'' and go to your nearest cinema complex to see this work in widescreen 2.39:1, and then approach the IMAX viewing with a flexible attitude. Visually, acoustically, and story-wise, this is a movie that you will never regret watching more than once.
