It's not really my sort of film, but I went to see it in 70 mm at Leicester Square today. The first half was better than I had expected, but I wasn't so keen on the second half. I can understand him wanting to shoot it on 65 mm, and release on 70 mm, but why in Ultra-Panavision? There were few shots which really made use of the full frame, most of the action takes place inside a building. II don't think if would have lost anything if it had been shot in spherical 65 mm, either letterboxed to 2.39, or with the negative image extended into the area formally used for the inner sound stripes on 70 mm prints; that should give an image close to 2.39, a ratio which all cinemas should be able to show without problems. As it is I think it will look terrible on our screen if they do decide to show it, tiny picture, and poor quality due to being cropped to 2.76 from a 2k projector. Also, we would have screen masking problems.
