Regardless, that documentary was awesome from a film perspective too, imo. No unnecessary BS. Just enough insight into his life. And, a ton of focus on the accomplishment and what went into it. Awesome.
I want to see this but as someone who doesn't like heights I get too stressed out watching that kind of thing.
Dude, there are some scenes I could barely watch. I mean, I hate heights but figured that knowing the ending would make it okay and it did not.

They had it in IMAX for awhile.

No, but would have liked to. FWIW-I am not sure if it would be full on IMAX, or some sort of partial/conversion.

I saw the trailer for Man On Wire in an IMAX that it almost gave me vertigo.

Free Solo was fascinating; and a lot less vertigo inducing climbing scenes than I was expecting.
