Today IMAX, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures, announced today that the October 6 IMAX release of Blade Runner 2049 will be more amplified and immersive for viewers. For viewers only watching in IMAX, the film will be modified to an expanded 1.9:1 aspect ratio, which will allow viewers to see much more of the film onscreen than regular viewers.
The promo that IMAX released below goes further into detail as to how the film will be modified to accomodate the IMAX screens and change the overall viewing experience.
The official synopsis for the movie is below:
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
