Dwayne Johnson is a mountain man. The wrestler-turned-actor is an action star through and through and he prepares his body to embody the ideal masculine physique. The man is an inspiration to many and few things can rival him regarding his weight.
However, there is one thing that currently exists and is even going to premiere soon that is about 2.3 times heavier than Dwayne Johnson. It’s the IMAX reel of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Also, not only is it heavier than The Rock, but also way taller than him.
The Oppenheimer IMAX Print Gives Dwayne Johnson Tough Competition
Christopher Nolan has confirmed that not only is Oppenheimer the longest film of his career, clocking in at more than 3 hours, its IMAX prints are the heaviest as well. As per the director, the film stock stretches to 11 miles and weighs 600 pounds. Here’s a tweet confirming the same:
What’s eye-popping is that the weight of this IMAX reel is about 2.3 times Dwayne Johnson’s weight, since The Rock reportedly weighs around 260 to 270 pounds. It’s hard to wrap our heads around something weighing more than the monstrous Black Adam star. But that’s the truth. Fans of Nolan and his upcoming film have a lot to say about this as well.
Fans Can’t Believe How Much Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Weighs
In this age of digital films, Christopher Nolan has gone above and beyond to present his movie in a format that will give audiences a completely immersive experience. In doing so, the IMAX print of Oppenheimer has stretched to 11 miles long and 600 pounds in weight. As expected, fans can’t handle these numbers.
Here’s what they are saying:
Nolan has advised everyone to see Oppenheimer in the IMAX 70mm film format as that will give the best possible viewing experience.
The director said:
“The sharpness and the clarity and the depth of the image is unparalleled… You’re getting a feeling of 3D without the glasses. You’ve got a huge screen and you’re filling the peripheral vision of the audience. You’re immersing them in the world of the film.”
However, doing so might be impossible for many since there are only 25 theaters across North America that support this format. But the director still encouraged audiences to view the film in the format they were comfortable with.
Oppenheimer will be available in theaters from July 21, 2023.
