I made this for my own personal use a while back since seeing this movie in IMAX was one of the most impressive theater experiences I've ever had, and I'm a sucker for IMAX/Open Matte movies. This takes multiple sources, including a German Open Matte HDTV broadcast and the official opening credits by the company that made them, and blends them together to replicate as best as possible what I remember that experience to be.
I don't have access to the 1:43:1 ratio footage, but even opening up from letterbox to 1:85:1 gives the same effect.
Some things I had to do:
- Mask out some spots where German subtitles were hardcoded into the footage. This was harder than it sounds.
- Added the transitions from letterbox to open matte where appropriate (opening credits, Burj climb)
This is about as close to seeing the IMAX version of the film as most people will get. It also perfectly syncs to the blu-ray. I have not included any subtitles or other audio tracks, but any can be used with it and it should all sync perfectly.
