For most of my life, I never appreciated how great Philly actually is in that regard. I did manage to see both Oppenheimer and Interstellar in 70MM IMAX! Both stand as among the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. Seeing Interstellar in the Tuttleman IMAX to this day is unsurpsassed. I'm devastated that theater had to close because of the pandemic.

Have 4DX theaters and all of those other options made their way to UK yet? Going to see movies these days has really turned into quite a selection process. Some theaters have un upward of 5 or 6 different types of screenings to choose between. The dimness issue I mentioned isn't anything too bothersome, but it's never anything I noticed at all before HDR and some of the other leaps and bounds TVs have made these past few years.

Motion blur I do have turned off thankfully! I had a wise friend lecture me about that when I first got the TV lol. Some of the out of the box settings these new TVs ship with really are terrible. Mine also came with this overbearing backlight that even when turned off completely still has the TV looking brighter than any cinema I've ever been to. Totally unnecessary!
