Why IMAX for Disclosure Day?
Based on the subject matter and Spielberg's history, IMAX makes sense for:
- Scale of revelation — The moment of disclosure deserves massive presentation
- Intimate moments too — IMAX captures facial detail for Emily Blunt's performance
- Janusz Kaminski's cinematography — His visual style benefits from larger format
- John Williams' score — IMAX sound systems do justice to orchestral scores
Our Verdict
Yes, see it in IMAX — For a Spielberg event film with John Williams' potentially final score, the IMAX premium is worth it for the full experience.
Other Premium Formats
Beyond IMAX, Disclosure Day will likely be available in:
- Dolby Cinema (Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos)
