Pretty simple question, I’m going to see Oppenheimer on Friday in Baton Rouge, I normally prefer Dolby Cinema for movies but I’m thinking because they filmed Oppenheimer in IMAX that I should go see it in that theater.

So what do you think would be best for a first viewing IMAX or Dolby Cinema? To be honest I don't know what version of IMAX the mall of Louisiana is or the one on Hatteras is.

There's only 19 theaters in the entire country that show it in the exact format he intends it for, IMAX 70mm

IMAX because the aspect ratio will be closer to the intended format.

The rankings should be:

1. IMAX 70mm
2. 70mm
3. IMAX laser
4. Dolby
5. Standard DCP

Almost a toss up between IMAX laser and non-IMAX 70mm because, again, the aspect ratio would be preferable on IMAX.

Exactly. Don't waste your money on fake IMAX hacks.

AMC and IMAX need to collaborate to get Dolby cinemas capable of doing imax showing.

Our highest audio and video versions for theaters are currently separated as far as I know.

IMAX with laser is the sweet spot for most people since 70mm IMAX can only be delivered to 2-3 dozen places worldwide.

70mm won’t get the tall aspect ratio but will get the crispness of film. Imax with laser is the same aspect ratio as 70mm imax but of course it is a digitized scan of the film print. Not the real deal.

We’re seeing 70mm but I’d like to go back if the movie is good and catch it at a IMAX w/ laser showing.
