The IMAX color timing is interesting... if there are more cels, would be fun to recreate.

That's not how it looked in imax, that's just the light box

Looks like someone has made a hybrid already.

Code:

No.Time.to.Die.2021.Hybrid.Open.Matte.1080p.BluRay.DD5.1.x264.mkv

Dub removed.
Added chapters.
Created synced forced subtitles from AMZN in ASS format.
With black boxes when needed to cover hardsubs.
Without, when regular forced lines. Smaller font when two lines.

Full srt subtitles that were included in the release
Seemed pretty out of sync. Don't have the time to make proper full ones.
The forced ones are at subscene if someone wants to tweak them to their liking.

Variable aspect ratio hybrid, better quality and no loss at sides.
Encoding settings are those of the WEB-DL.
IMAX scenes are replaced without transcoding, from slowed down IVI WEB-DL. One IMAX scene was not replaced because of quality issues.
Non-IMAX scenes are from Blu-ray.

AutoOverlay hybrid release is probably not possible.

Not sure if all the IMAX scenes are included. Also didn't the movie had some shots in IMAX between other shots in widescreen?
That would be hard to reconstruct 100% from memory.

For example he missed the boat scene where we see Bond in Jamaica for the first time.

I"m sure other IMAX shots from the climax are completely missing.

In IMAX, there was no expanded footage beyond the Cuba sequence - though I swear I remember reading somewhere at least the Norway chase was partly shot on 65mm...and parts of the climax definitely looked like they were shot 65mm or IMAX but were just 2.40.

You'd really have to go through everything shot by shot comparing with the scope version to see you'll have added image.

Would need to watch and compare both side by side and determine what is imax/open matte and what is cropped, which is how I did my Collateral and Minority Report VAR projects but until a better quality source comes along no point in spending time doing that, took me forever.

Did you test it ?

[X5gb]

Doesn't sound like it was done with much effort based on comments made by poster over at Rus tracker, better to wait for better source and someone to include all imax/open matte scenes.

Yep, in particular when he stated

I tested many UAR projects using that wonderful plugin, and, albeit some were hard, and few very hard, not found any "impossible" - in particular using source that use same color grading and master.
