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...

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

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.
