Nolan Is Back in IMAX: Cineworld Brings 8 Big Hits to the Big Screen This August
Get ready for a huge cinema experience this August, because Cineworld is bringing back eight of Christopher Nolan’s biggest movies to IMAX screens across the UK and Ireland. This is all leading up to the release of Nolan’s next film The Odyssey, and it’s a rare chance to watch these films the way they were meant to be seen, on a massive screen, with huge sound, and total immersion.
Cineworld has confirmed that movies like Inception, Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Tenet, Dunkirk, and the full Dark Knight trilogy will all be shown in IMAX for limited runs throughout August 2025.
You’ll need to check your local Cineworld listings for exact times and tickets, but the lineup runs from August 20 to August 28 depending on the film.
These aren’t just regular screenings. According to Cineworld, “these screenings are a chance to experience Nolan’s films the way he intended—with giant screens, incredible sound, and the kind of detail that only IMAX can deliver.”
That makes sense, because Nolan has always loved shooting with IMAX cameras. He was one of the first big directors to really use the format seriously, starting with The Dark Knight and continuing with every major film since. These movies weren’t just made to be watched—they were made to be felt.
These films are about more than just stories. They’re about how Nolan tells them. He uses real cameras, real sets, and as many practical effects as possible. He wants people to feel what’s happening, not just see it. That’s why watching these in IMAX matters. The sound, the scale, the look, it all hits harder.
As Cineworld put it, “this isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about giving people a chance to experience these films in the most powerful way possible.”
So if you’re a long-time fan or someone who missed these in theatres the first time, this is your chance. It’s not just about watching great movies. It’s about experiencing them the way they were built to be experienced.
Tickets are already on sale, and screenings are only happening at IMAX-equipped Cineworld cinemas in the UK and Ireland. Check Cineworld’s website to find your closest screening and grab a seat before they’re gone.
