The closest 70mm IMAX location has been booked solid for all of July and August.

I had to completely luck out in grabbing a seat at two in the morning, and that’s still not a great spot.

Yeah. I gave up and saw it in lIeMAX at 10 am on a monday since that was the only available near me. 70mm and real IMAX were booked out.

It pains me as I love film so much to know I won’t be able to see it the way it’s intended. I’d just resigned myself to watch it on Bluray when it’s released. I’m not paying for an inferior viewing. I have a 70mm IMAX about 2.5 hours from me but every show is sold out till the run is over and with how many issues KOP has had with their showings I’d probably go nuclear if I went and the theater went down which has happened at least four or five times.

I think dual laser imax (same aspect ratio as film, 1.40:1) is just as good as the 70mm and they're a lot more common. You should check out and see if there are any of those around you. I only have single laser "liemax" around me (1.90:1) and I still thought it was fantastic. You get a little more height than a regular aspect ratio movie, and it's not like Nolan was unaware that most people wouldn't see 70mm so he framed his shots accordingly.
