IMAX tracks down the Oppenheimer front row superfan who went viral for buying the only front row seat in the Universal CityWalk theater.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT IMAX tracks down the Oppenheimer fan whose seat choice broke the internet. Upon Oppenheimer’s release last week, the internet has been ripe with memes about the film, including ones about the experience of watching Oppenheimer in the front row. Earlier this week, memes circulated about a viewer who bought a single front-row ticket to Oppenheimer upon its opening in the Universal CityWalk IMAX Theater in 70mm in Hollywood.
Ahead of a screening of the well-received Oppenheimer, a video shows that IMAX was able to find the man who booked this seat. IMAX’s video begins with a reposting of one meme about this fan, who had booked seat A15 in the front row. In the video, the IMAX team waited until seat A15 arrived at the theater where they presented the man – who is apparently a “huge movie fan” – with a film camera art print. The A15 man beams as he holds his pre-Oppenheimer prize.
Why Oppenheimer Needs to Be Seen in IMAX Over the course of its three-hour run time, Oppenheimer is an explosion of sound and light. Scenes of physics classrooms, political talks, and more are intercut with segments of abstract particles coming together or racing across the screen, seemingly representing the bomb’s creation, and these interjections are often coupled with sound.
That said, Oppenheimer should be seen in IMAX. With its sound mix so well-balanced between Lugwig Göransson’s electric score, resounding bomb explosions, and eerily quiet dialogue, Oppenheimer is best experienced in the high-quality surround sound offered by many IMAX theaters. In addition, the combination of abstract, fast-paced visuals and sweeping shots with great depth make Oppenheimer demand the biggest screen possible.
