CW / Oswin Colley The CMX Hollywood 16 & IMAX movie theater on Old Greensboro Road, photographed on June 30, 2026. That was until I realized the nearest IMAX 70mm theater, Nolan’s preferred viewing format, was two hours away and sold out. In fact, diagrams comparing typical IMAX versus IMAX 70mm show that a significant part of the movie is being cut off due to the film ratio. But not everyone has the means to take cross-country trips to rare movie theaters and then pay an extra $25 to actually see it. Unfortunately, when it comes to this IMAX 70mm controversy, it seems Christopher Nolan has lost the plot.
