1917 was a 9/10 movie for me.
Just saw it on the new IMAX laser screen (dual 4K digital projectors) and was just blown away from start to end. If you want to be completely taken into a world for 2 hours, forgetting anything else exists, go see it.
As for IMAX Laser, I'm going to have to watch all my solo movies this way from now on. Crisp, amazing contrast, and the sound system was crazy. Gunfire legit sounded like it was in the room, and scenes with planes flying overhead was extremely loud with great surround.
Complaints are that the stuttering from digital projection is still very much there during panning, and was distracting at times. Bright static scenes were a bit shimmery, but I didn't notice this until the very end. In this specific cinema, dialog is a bit echoey, and the cinema had a WAY TOO BRIGHT exit sign beside the screen, which completely illuminates the bottom corner of the screen during dark scenes.
And also, I'm not sure who is responsible for this, but subtitles were HUGE, like legit 16 feet tall if you stood next to them, and lit up the entire scene if there is dialog in a dark scene. I tried to read the english subs during a preview for a chinese movie, and the font was so big, I would get dizzy trying to read it all. You'd have to read probably 30 or 40 feet across for one sentence. There is NO way I'd be able to watch a subtitled movie in this way.
