Existem três versões do novo filme de Star Wars: 2D, 3D padrão e 70MM IMAX 3D
De acordo com slashfilm.com , Diretor J.J. Abrams só gravou uma seqüência em The Force Awakens em material de filme IMAX de 70 mm , o restante foi filmado em filme 35mm e, em uma entrevista, ele afirmou
When I was watching the reels in 3D, there were a number of shots — and I know this sounds insane — that I hadn’t understood in the three-dimensional space quite the way I did when I saw them in 3D. I actually felt that there were things that were playing better in 3D. I had never felt that before. And if people have access to a theater that has laser projection, it is shockingly better.
As imagens a seguir ilustram as diferenças entre o formato 3D normal e o IMAX 70MM.
Widescreen padrão
IMAX de 70 mm
O site Tech Insider recomenda que os fãs assistam ao Versão 3D, mas somente se o cinema acomodar a versão IMAX de 70MM
Unless you're seeing this on a true IMAX screen and in 70mm (one of these theaters), go with the 2D tickets.
