Experience Dunkirk in 70mm Film at the Omni Theater, an IMAX® Dome

I

In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk.

The lives of more than 300,000 French, British, Belgian, and Dutch soldiers were hanging in the balance. The story of the heroic mission is even more visceral and immersive experienced in the 70mm IMAX® format, used by director Christopher Nolan.

“The immersive quality of the image is second to none,” Nolan said. “We really tried to create a sensation of virtual reality without

the goggles.” Nearly 70 percent of Dunkirk was shot in IMAX®, the remaining footage was shot on 65mm film, making this one of the biggest IMAX® film releases in decades. These specific sequences will expand to fill 40% more of the screen exclusively in

IMAX®, deliver unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for moviegoers.

In terms of the cinema-going experience itself, IMAX® is one of the most immersive – and elusive - formats there is. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® Dome at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is one of very few to offer this unique experience, providing audiences a true IMAX® 70mm film experience.

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s Omni Theater, an IMAX® dome is one of the select few theaters screening Dunkirk as Christopher Nolan intended: in true 15perf 70mm film.

“The majority of the film expands vertically to fill the IMAX® dome screen with vivid color, clarity and detail, unmatched by

other theaters,” said Omni Theater Director Jonathan Orr. “Filmgoers will hear the film on fifty speakers running on 24,000 watts of power. It all adds up to a unique giant screen experience that makes our guests feel as though they are inside the movie.”

The Omni Theater’s unique dome screen envelops the audience in the film experience. Orr describes the dome theater as “the ultimate experience with a picture that encompasses your peripheral making you feel like you are in the film. That, along with the premium 24,000-watt, 6.1 IMAX® surround sound system that can distinguish a pin drop from a Spitfire engine as it whirrs by, or the incredible bass in the Hans Zimmer score, all really make for an experience that is unmatched anywhere else.”

The Omni Theater’s fully immersive IMAX® experience boasts 18k of vertical resolution versus the best digital projection that only has 4k resolution. The theater also features powerful, laser-aligned digital sound and customized theater geometry in addition to the brightest, clearest images resulting in the world’s most captivating film experience. The Omni Theater is the largest IMAX® dome west of the Mississippi River, with an eight-story tall and 120-foot wide screen making it the best place to screen Dunkirk for hundreds of miles.

Dunkirk tells the story of a heroic, real-life WWII mission. The film opens in 1940 as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops must slowly and methodically be evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found.

The film’s ensemble cast includes Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, James D’Arcy, and Barry Keoghan, with Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy.

Dunkirk has taken the film world by storm. It skyrocketed to the number one spot at the box office after opening weekend with 50.5 million in domestic sales.

Dunkirk opened nationally on July 21 to rave reviews.

Dunkirk’s MPAA rating is PG-13.

Tickets for Dunkirk at the Omni Theater are $13 with discounts available to Museum members and military. Dunkirk will show at the Omni Theater through August 27. Learn more and buy tickets at www.fortworthmuseum.org/Dunkirk.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side.

Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture. The collection spans early nineteenth-century art to mid-twentieth century modernism. It is also home to nearly 400 works by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Near by is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a workof-art 2002 building designed by worldrenowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting.The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H.

those who have lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.

The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.”

BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Off the Menu in Fort Worth

By Laurie James, Culinary Blogger, Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau

Ordering an item that’s not on the menu at a non-chain restaurant is a bit of a challenge. We’ve got a few suggestions. Here are 5 off-the-menu items in Fort Worth that you can get if you ask.

1. Torchy’s Tacos has a not-so-secret menu listing of additional tacos, like The Matador - brisket and grilled jalapeno topped with pickled onions, jack cheese, avocado, sour cream and tomatillo sauce on a corn tortilla. www.torchystacos.com.

2. There are chicken strips at Lucille’s Stateside Bistro on the children’s menu, but if you order them off the menu as an entrée, they will come with gravy. www.lucilesstatesidebistro.com.

3. Billy Bob’s Texas has a signature drink called a Three-Legged Monkey. The drink is Crown Royal whiskey straight from the freezer, with a touch of Coke and a touch of Sprite. Of course, if you wanted to make the drink a little more Fort Worth, you could ask for TX Whiskey. www.billybobstexas.com.

4. Cane Rosso’s got a few PG-13 secret pizza offerings. Order a Heimy Bastard, but only on Tuesdays, for a tasty pizza featuring soppressata and spicy honey along with Heim BBQ’s famous burnt ends. www. canerosso.com/fort-worth.

5. Reata Restaurant in Downtown holds no secret menu, but offers a few special menu items if you know what to ask for.

First, you can substitute the sublime jalapeno cheese grits for potatoes or any starch on the menu. And second, when you’re ordering your seasonal cobbler or West Texas pecan pie a la mode, ask for the cinnamon ice cream instead of the standard vanilla. www.reata.net.

The livestock industry began to develop here in the 1880s. There were cattle, sheep, and hog pens and horse and mule barns. The original wooden barns burned in 1911 and were replaced with concrete and steel buildings.

Stockyards Station is proudly dedicated to the preservation of the livestock industry. Evidence of that is the twice daily cattle drives at 11:30 a.m. & 4 p.m. Refurbished livestock pens and sheds, some with the original brick floors, now house 25 shops including restaurants offering everything from roasted suckling pig to enchiladas. This is also where you can go to Billy Bob’s, the world’s largest honky tonk, historic Cowtown Coliseum and the Livestock Exchange Building.
