I would love to see it in Lee's intended way, but I read
only 2 cinemas in the US and 5 worldwide can show it that way.
Where?
Even if the movie doesn't work 100%, I bet there's great potential here.
For example everyone said the combat scenes were like nothing ever before.
Where can I see it in 120 fps+3D+4K+Dolby Atmos?
Thanks.
I only know that two of them are in China and one of them is in Taiwan.

Dolby Cinema theaters will be offering the film in 2K, 3D at 120 fps with high dynamic range (the format used for last week's Los Angeles press screenings).
Since I won't see it here in Europe,
all honest reports & reviews are welcome...
Have fun!

shareI saw it in Taipei while on a business trip to Asia, in 120 fps, 3D, 4K, the format that Ang Lee would like it to be seen. Loved it. It's a very Ang Lee film, and my guess is that the American critics were expecting a totally different film, probably due to the somehow misleading trailer and all the awards talks about its NEW technology. It does look like fake at the beginning and I constantly imagined how it would look like in a more traditional format, but when Billy started to get on the stage for the halftime walk, I suddenly totally understood why Ang Lee insisted on presenting the film in this format, because it felt like I was there with Billy at that moment, it's real and yet surreal. And I can feel the kindness Lee had towards that group of soldiers; it's not an anti-war film, it's not a war film either; it's just a close, quiet and short observation on a confusing 19 year old soldier's life.
The whole cast did a great job. The standouts are Alwyn and Stewart for me, and for all Stewart's work in this film and films in the past two years, I genuinely think she deserves an Oscar supporting actress nom for her true and organic performances in Billy Lynn. As a Brit, Alwyn did a completely convincing job as a 19 year old American boy, just in this regard, he's already surpassed the bigger name British and Irish actors like Hardy, Fassbender and Cumberbatch. I hope he'll get many great roles in the coming years.
