Just the fact it was shot in 70mm is pretty much a feat in itself!

I've seen only one movie in 70mm so far and the memory I keep from it is quite something.
It was back in the 1980's... I was still a kid... waited in line in the cold until I couldn't feel my toes to see the premiere of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Those were the days...

In the video they say shot on 35mm and projected in 70mm.

It's shot on 65mm and projected on 70mm.  We do have a Cinerama in Seattle that has been restored by Microsoft billionaire Paul Alan.  They have even maintained the original projectors but most shows are on digital.  I would love to see this on 70mm but probably won't have that opportunity.

My bad. 65mm it is.
