I loved "Babernheimer". A day where cinephiles, Nolan addicts and Ryan Gosling ab enthusiasts around the world came together to celebrate the simultaneous release of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Two films that could not be more different, yet have fuelled a cultural zeitgeist like few others in cinematic history have.
For the occasion, I ventured to my nearest IMAX to experience Oppenheimer as close to how the man behind the camera intended it as I could (there were no 70mm showings close to me). On the other hand, Barbie was treated to the performance of the new "laser" projector in the theater, to boost colors and brightness (not that the difference was glaringly obvious to me). Either way, I wanted the biggest screens possible and the loudest surround sound imaginable.
