The long-awaited movie 'Oppenheimer' was released on the 15th of last month and has maintained the top spot for weeks.

 

With Christopher Nolan's directorial reputation and the film's rich storytelling that leaves room for interpretation, it appears that many viewers are attempting multiple viewings.

 

 

 

Since you can watch American movies in Korea, it's important to choose your cinema wisely.

 

In South Korea, there are several popular cinema chains where you can enjoy American movies :

 

 

 

 

1. Megabox

 

 

Megabox is known for its modern and comfortable theaters, with multiple locations in urban areas and shopping complexes.

Among these, I strongly recommend to choose CGV because it is the only cinema that has IMAX.

 

IMAX is a premium cinema experience that is also available in South Korea.

 

IMAX theaters feature state-of-the-art technology, including larger screens and enhanced audiovisual systems, which provide an immersive movie-watching experience.

 

IMAX is particularly popular for blockbuster films, as it offers enhanced visuals and sound quality.

Director Christopher Nolan planned the movie 'Tenet' with IMAX in mind from the early stages of conceptualization.

 

Nolan used IMAX cameras to shoot the film, and the post-production editing was also done at IMAX theaters to provide the audience with the ultimate viewing experience.

 

'Tenet' was shot using a combination of IMAX 65mm and 65mm large-format film, making it the first film in cinematic history to introduce black-and-white IMAX film shooting.

 

This inclusion of black-and-white scenes within the movie enhances the narrative experience, offering the audience an even more elevated storytelling experience.

 

 

 

So, grab your jacket and get a ticket!

 

Here's a tip : Go to Yongsan IMAX because it's the best.

 

Since it's highly popular, you need to check the local cinema listings or visit the official website of the cinema chain in that area for showtimes and movie selections in advance!
