While most movie studious prefer a 3D release – Nolan thinks differently. According to Nolan, unless we get rid of those glasses, or make 3D more immersive, the technology will remain something to avoid. Instead, Nolan prefers the truly large-scale IMAX format for delivering his movies to the audience. IMAX however, still has its own differences.
