Director Christopher Nolan captured the majority of Dunkirk using the highest-resolution cameras in the world.
Nolan designed the film specifically to be projected and viewed in the IMAX® format, and any portions of the film not captured with IMAX® cameras went through IMAX®'s proprietary image and sound enhancement process to deliver a superior movie-going experience.
The film is presented in an expanded aspect ratio exclusively in Laser IMAX® theaters. Sequences in the film expand vertically to fill the entire screen and show audiences up to 40 percent more of the image.
An IMAX® frame has upwards of 18,000 pixels of horizontal resolution. For comparison, a home HDTV has 1,920 pixels.
In theaters featuring IMAX® with Laser projection, like the Bullock Museum IMAX® Theatre, the film's scenes expand up to a 1.43:1 aspect ratio. Most films today are presented in CinemaScope with an aspect ratio of 2.40:1.
The Bullock Museum IMAX® Theatre is the first and only Laser IMAX theater in Texas and features enhanced 12-channel immersive audio and luxury seating. Enjoy concessions such as specialty popcorn, assorted candies, and beverages, including sodas, bottled water, and juices.
