Daria Spencer: The first time I watched the film it was a standard viewing with the traditional screen. The second time viewing (post watching clips of Ryan Coogler explain his film process and filming with IMAX), I went to AMC in Edwardsville and bought the IMAX tickets... That experience was INSANE. I feel like the story really came alive with the change of the aspect ratios
Rambsy: What made the IMAX experience stand out to you? What felt different or especially memorable?
Spencer: I feel like the change in how we view the film on screen helps put the story in perspective. Forgive me on terms, I'm still learning. Coogler talked about how he shot the film with two different camera systems, providing the aspect ratios of 2.76:1 and 1.43:1. (This is the first movie to do something so remarkable and it shows).
I noticed that scenes that were dialogue heavy or anything that provided back story had the wide format or 2.76:1. However, for the action and fight scenes, the aspect ratio would expand to the full screen or 1.43:1 which was pretty mind blowing because you can see everything.
Rambsy: Can you describe one scene that really stood out in IMAX—something you think wouldn’t have had the same impact on a regular screen? What made it feel different?
Spencer: The fight scenes and Remmick flying through the sky was cool and all to see in full and up close, but I think the impact of seeing Sinners in IMAX really hit for me is when you see everyone's memories before the juke joint in the 1.43:1 (IMAX full screen ratio). That moment highlighted how things were really supposed to be simple and they were coming together in community to really have a good time and make some money out of it.

Like seeing the sharecroppers on the back of the truck driving to the barn; Sammie with his guitar riding with Stack, Delta Slim and Cornbread; Annie cooking with some other ladies in the kitchen and Bo Chow stealing a piece while Grace laughs. Seeing those moments in that ratio really gave it a POV feel for me, like I was in the space with them.
