Just curious to re-live that IMAX experience.

Some 3D screens are silver to maintain the polarity of the L/R images

No worries. Deakins has been very clear that the 2.39 version of Skyfall, BR2049 and 1917 are the official versions. So I respect his wishes in that regard. And you do get a lot of dead space in the open mattes although I think that worked well in 2049. But still the “open matte” aka IMAX aka 1.90, etc is an official version that I’d like to see again.
I had a friend check local US cable and it’s OAR and that seems to be the case for broadcasts the rest of the world. I thought maybe like 2049 there would be an om on vod or something.

I know I'm speaking the obvious here, but it continues to confound me that these films with high-profile alternate formats don't have them subsequently recaptured on home video.
Even Nolan's IMAX material gets truncated (unless you count the separately-released footage from Interstellar and TDK). Wouldn't the inclusion of an IMAX format disc be an enormous draw for home cinema enthusiasts?
Side note: 1917 at the BFI IMAX was my last 'normal' cinema visit. I did go to see Tenet locally but, you know.

Deakins rightly doesn't like DMR so just opens the matte
