IMAX is the future, and the directors of our time should embrace it.
The Big Picture IMAX, the most captivating film format in film history, has been a trademark for acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan ever since The Dark Knight. The director is famous for praising the technology, describing the experience as watching a 3D movie without the 3D glasses. Being the pioneer of using such developments, it would only make sense for him to advocate its use.
When Has Christopher Nolan Used IMAX 70mm? The Dark Knight was one of the first films in history to use an IMAX camera as the main image-capturing device on a film set. In total, six sequences, or roughly 28 minutes of screen time, were shot using the camera. Eventually, other filmmakers followed suit. Terrence Malick's majestic The Tree of Life had select sequences shot in IMAX. Michael Bay, as characteristic of his oeuvre, hammed up its utilization in Transformers: The Last Knight.
If big companies don't see it as cost-efficient, independent filmmakers have no chance of using the technology as well, seeing that their whole budget might be taken up by the cinematography alone. Another concern is its noise. IMAX cameras are notoriously noisy, making a sound that's similar to a low-displacement motorcycle, which makes filming bits of dialogue difficult for the sound engineers.
