Tickets go on sale July 5 for “Dunkirk” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, the only place in Connecticut where Christopher Nolan’s World War II drama will play in the immersive 70mm IMAX film format. “Dunkirk” opens Thursday, July 20. Nolan reportedly shot nearly the entire movie with IMAX cameras, and the fullest way to experience “Dunkirk” is possible only at The Maritime Aquarium. _____________

The popular South Norwalk attraction has the state’s largest IMAX screen (six stories tall) and still projects with film, which movie buffs – including, apparently, Nolan – know is the brightest, sharpest and clearest format. (A frame of IMAX film has upwards of 18,000 pixels of resolution, compared to 1,920 in a home HDTV.)

“Dunkirk” will play at The Maritime Aquarium at 7 and 9:30 p.m. July 20 to 30.
