Maybe you’ve already seen the new James Bond film, Skyfall, in a conventional theater.
IMAX wants you to see their version.
According to IMAX officials, their version of Skyfall has been specially formatted to feature a larger aspect ratio (the relationship between an image’s width and height) for the entirety of the film. In the post-production process, IMAX and the filmmakers worked to to increase the aspect ratio to allow audiences to see up to 26% more of the originally captured image. For an example, see the photograph above.
