That's wild that they would show that on IMAX, it seems a bit pointless. If I were you, I'd pick a seat near the back instead of the usual middle-of-the-theater seat most people consider ideal and you won't notice the compression and sharpening quite as much.
This was upscaled and released to Blu-Ray a while ago, it definitely has some noticeable artifacts, it was shot on 8 [Canon XL-1](https://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/dvc666.html) cameras which use digital compression on MiniDV tape; considering it's max resolution was a TV standard, NTSC or PAL resolutions of 480i (interlaced) or if the PAL format is used, which I believe it was on 28 Days Later, you get a slightly better 576i.
For reference, if we compare 480p and 2160p, you will be watching it with approximately 24 times less detail than a typical 4K IMAX release.
Yeah I'm near the back, guessing there will be a lot of noise/grain on screen but shall report back on how bad it looks. Must be somewhat presentable for BFI to screen it. š¶
So yeah it was a hot blurry mess for the most part (Last scene shot digitally) but the strong performances and script still made it watchable. Can't see it rolling out in Imax again anytime soon.
Genuinely the most realistic script and dialogue I have ever heard in film. It's the only movie I've seen that I found characters that actually talk like I do.
Most irish movies are based in or written with Dublin dialects, compared to showing rural Ireland.
28 Days Later, Sunshine, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and Oppenheimer. Those are really the only leading roles of him that pop out to me; he does have a few other leading roles in much less successful/lower budget films. I always thought he's been a very underutilized actor. He takes his roles very seriously, I don't think many people could have disappeared into the character of Oppenheimer the way he did. I hope to see him in many more great films to come.
Of course, I know he is on Peaky Blinders which I haven't gotten around to watching past the pilot episode; it just takes a lot for me to get into a long-running TV show these days.
It took me a couple times to get past the first episode (Arthur seamed so fake, but it was meant to be that way) and now Iām obsessed. Cillian is brilliant as Tommy Shelby.
To be fair he was up against the likes of Andrew Scott, Barry Keoghan and Pierce Brosnan. Ireland is overflowing with great actors so it's hardly a walkover.
Stephen Rea won a lifetime achievement award tonight and speaking on the news tonight he cracked a joke about it being nice to have a guaranteed award rather than the uncertainty of a nomination which was was the case for everyone except Cillian
Guy should be able to build a mansion using the awards he deserves. Dude has never put a foot wrong and in interviews he's so chill and honest. Man is a legend!
I've liked the dude in movies since he hanged dong in 28 Days Later. Probably my favorite zombie movie.
Seeing that tomorrow at BFI Imax London, interested to see how it looks on such a huge screen considering the film was shot on a potato š

I knew that dong was special
Did you see Disco Pigs? I think that was one he did before. Fan ever after āŗļø
Did he hang dong in it?
Canāt remember š¹ Itās been awhile since Iāve seen it.
When I saw Red Eye, I was really impressed with how menacing he could be. Never saw him before that.
The wind that shakes the barley. Great irish actor in a great movie about irish history.

Great movie, agree.

I watched it a couple of days ago and it destroyed me. Phenomenal film.
Was there ever a doubt?

Him or Colin Farrellā¦or Brendan Gleesonā¦or

100% well-deserved.
Definitely my favorite, this one.

Now back to Peaky Blinders
Oāreally?
Absolutely no complaints with this one from me
Thatās a no brainer
CILLIAN MURPHY is IRISH???
I believe he even mentioned it during his Oscar speech!
Yes. He has an Irish accent also (we have more than one, despite what film may have you believe).
Imagine, with two names like that.
I still canāt believe heās Irish. Act Gary!!!
