Dune 2 was totally worth it to watch in IMAX. Similarly I remember Interstellar being an amazing experience in IMAX. I wish more similar movies were made. That would make me go to the movies more frequently.
Incidentally, why was Oppenheimer promoted as an IMAX movie? It was a letdown and a waste for me to have watched it on IMAX, as it was essentially a visually unexciting primarily conversational drama. Barbie would have been a better IMAX movie.

Which may be why he framed it like a serial drama?
The 70mm imax that Oppenheimer was filmed on is 4:3.
An old standard aspect ratio for television serials.
If you watch Oppenheimer any other way, to remove what are usually large black bars on the sides for contemporary tvs, you are watching a cropped version of the film maker’s vision.
But also, there are plenty stunning vistas in that film.
