Polygon had a really interesting article about the use of different film formats (IMAX, Super 16mm, 35mm) in order to convey different emotions in the viewer. https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/14/17971246/first-man-imax-d...

Overall production was great. There was very little noticeable CGI, they used miniatures extensively and all the in-aircraft shots were filmed in motion-simulators in front of a massive LED wall that apparently made most of the crew ill. Gosling was even coached by an X-15 pilot on what buttons to push during filming.

As much as Indianapolis feels a bit like a backwater, having one of the few true IMAX theaters has been such a great experience. Being able to see Dunkirk on that screen would have been worth driving hours for.
