      You want to buy an IMAX theater?
      I’m sure if you just talked to them they’d be happy to sell you one.

        As neat as that would be, nah I mean release the IMAX version of these movies for people to watch at home on their own devices. Disney+ already has some of these on their platform, and they work great with a latger TV, but cheap projectors are a lot more common these days, and theres also no reason IMAX couldnt work in a VR headset.

        Theaters are overpriced and the quality of movies these days make the price harder and harder to justify. They also lock you into whatever situation they provide to you, so you dont control the volume, dont control if the other patrons are assholes, generally dont have good options for subtitles, and zero ability to pause to use the bathroom which is even more annoying now that movies are twice as long with less than half the narrative depth of movies that are half the length. IMAX is often the only valuable reason to see a movie in theaters anymore, but almost every theater I’ve been to cranks the volume so loud that I just get overstimulated and it ruins the experience. I’d much rather be able to control the environment I watch these things in so I can actually enjoy them.

        I know my experience is not the same as everyone else, but it still seems stupid to gatekeep these versions of films

          Oh! You just don’t like movies unless they’re exactly what you want them to be. That’s so booring. But okay.
