Are we ready for 4K anime, and would it change anything?

Far as I'm aware, the only 4k made anime is the Gundam Thunderbolt movie series, which I hear it looks eye blindingly beautiful.

There is technically a limit, I was mostly just stating that film is kind of weird and doesn’t really function the same way as a digital camera where there’s a fixed resolution.
There are quite a few films shot on 70mm, but most directors shy away from it due to the cost of the actual film. Then couple that with the fact that most theaters don’t have a 70mm projector, so you gotta convert it to a more common standard like 35mm, so that just adds more cost.

That is true, Hateful Eight had a lot of 70mm release(even though it was not filmed in 70). I was talking more about Dunkirk being filmed in both IMAX film and 70 mm film. No film has ever been shot like that, so it's bound to have more advantages like aspect ratio.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the only movie shot like that, unless you can actually source that. Neither format is new by a long shot, and IMAX is technically higher quality. There are also movies entirely shot in IMAX as opposed to Dunkirk, which he’s admitting has scenes not filmed with it. So a movie entirely shot in IMAX would have the same consistent resolution.
While not entirely comparable, it’s like having one film being shot entirely in HDR, and one that’s primarily shot in HDR, but has scenes that weren’t.

I'm sure you know this but IMAX film cameras weigh more than 100 kg, are extremely loud and can film only upto 3 minutes of footage, which have to be perfectly directed. There are films shot entirely shot in IMAX yes, but they are IMAX digital, such as Avengers Infinity War. Dunkirk is the only film out there shot in 70 mm film and IMAX film on a scale like that, which gives crecedence to it being equivalent to 18k(the IMAX portions at least). As for source well I can't find one for something that's non-existant. There are stuff shot entirely in IMAX film but they are all short films and nothing on the scale of Dunkirk. Shooting in IMAX film is also extremely expensive and due to the loudness of the camera, it's mostly used for action-heavy scenes. Since Dunkirk is light on dialogue and is mostly visual, it features a higher percentage of footages shot in IMAX film. You can find one if you want, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
In recent years, there's perhaps 1917 which is an achievement in cinematography and editing, but it was shot in digital and has a laundry list of visual effects, Force Awakens used a lot of 35 mm film and Avengers as I said was shot in IMAX digital. Again I was merely quoting Nolan on that, and Dunkirk is a technical achievement, no film is out there right now on that scale. Not many directors can use it correctly, otherwise you end up with an idiot like Michael Bay who switched aspect ratio as he wanted in an engregious way in Transformers: The Last Knight.

100kg weight?
how do they even try to move it? with one man it's impossible to do it

I mean there's obviously rigs and mechanisms set up to move the camera, movies that use IMAX film cameras typically have a budget of over 100 million $, we are not talking about indie films here.
