Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

You don’t even need IMAX for 4K; ordinary 35mm film can normal scan to a nice 4K video. Films shot on the 65mm IMAX cameras would probably make good 8K content, but most of that was educational films, not what most people apparently want to watch all the time.

The digital IMAX projections were actually a step backwards in resolution.

Sure. But the cameras exist. You can use them for other stuff.

Hateful Eight was filmed in 70mm, and while it wasn’t Tarantino’s best work it certainly looked nice.

  65mm is a gulf from 15/65 though. Much harder to shoot in IMAX format.

IMAX film is equivalent to 12K. Their digital laser projectors are only 4K.

So there’s still hope that they might release The Last Buffalo in 8k 3D sometime in the future? Got it. :)

IMAX is a mess. They can’t even figure out a consistent aspect ratio, so most of the content shot on IMAX is cropped after delivery.
