I could make a 2 hour trip to see it in 70mm, or see it in IMAX in my neighborhood. Is the difference significant enough to warrant a special trip?

    Hateful Eight was shot and presented on 5/70 mm film. That’s a frame that is 5 perforations tall and 70mm wide. That gives you about 3.5 times the surface area of standard 35mm film, though at a much wider aspect ratio.

    IMAX is 15/70, so the same frame width as 5/70 but three times as tall. Though you actually inverse the width and height metrics because IMAX film is run through the projector horizontally rather than verticallly.
