Blade Runner 2049 Will Be Bigger in IMAX

IMAX® has announced today that the IMAX release of Blade Runner 2049 will allow fans to experience more of the action than in any other format. Only in IMAX will the entire film be specially formatted and presented in an expanded 1.9:1 aspect ratio. This means that the movie will fill more of the screen, and fans will see 26% more of the image in IMAX than standard theatres.

To illustrate the expanded aspect ratio, IMAX created a GIF that depicts what moviegoers will see in standard theatres versus what they will see in IMAX from an actual scene from the movie.
