Seeing a 1570 film movie at the bfi imax is an unparalleled experience. If I’m ever in London again I’ll definitely make sure to revisit the bfi imax.

The BFI is without any doubt one of the best Cinemas in the World. IMAX 1570 center Position, nearly all popular 1570 Movies in House, brutal good sound, beautiful Auditorium, excellent Crew and more

Thanks for the tour video! I've been wanting to see a good tour of this venue for ages. Hopefully I'll get to visit and watch a film on that massive screen someday.

The 1.43:1 dual laser IMAX in Karlsruhe has back lights for the screen to show the speakers as well. There is an IMAX demo that runs in that theater and used to run at the BFI IMAX as well. During the demo they play sound from the individual speaker clusters and illuminate the screen when playing from those.

I believe that the Technik Museum Sinsheim Dome IMAX has backlit screen before showtime to showcase the speaker system, was last there 4 years ago, so it might have changed since

That is simply amazing. Thanks a lot.

Great video man. Thank you.. I saw Oppenheimer there last week, sound was mind blowing, and picture so so huge!! Really gets you excited for further films. The Creator and Dune 2 looked awesome . So can’t wait to go see them there. Luckily I’m inly 50 miles away in Brighton. We have an IMAX in Crawley, but it pales in comparison.

Thanks for the video man, I’ve been waiting for this one as well. It would be great if you would do a cinema review on the overall experience on this place too, similar to your other videos

I have mixed feelings about BFI IMAX. I find the seats under odeon really uncomfortable and after the refurb the seats are now passable (I was there 2 days ago). Technically its really good!

Very lucky to live only an hour away, the Southbank cinema is five minutes from BFI imax and another fantastic venue for film fans.

It’s cool that they have those two other projectors in the projection booth to show non-IMAX 3D and traditional 35mm and 5/70mm films. I don’t know of any other IMAX theaters that have that capability. Also, the Omnimax (IMAX dome) theater at the Milwaukee Public Museum has lighting for the speakers behind the screen.

Illumination on speakers behind the screen can be found also in the IMAX auditorium at the planetarium of Athens - Eugenides Foundation Unfortunately they only play 40 minutes documentaries on IMAX.

WONDERFUL! THANK YOU FOR MADE THIS VIDEO I CAN IN KZfaq SEE THE BIGGEST IMAX SCREEN!!!

Excellent Video 👌

First! So exciting to see this video, I saw Oppenheimer here after spending lots of time watching your videos in the weeks leading up to it :)

The IMAX in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,USA it's also backlight. I think in the past they run the same demo that @VariTimo is talking about that shows where the speakers behind the screen are located. The Imax in Ft Lauderdale is also running Oppenheimer In 15/70mm film. They are also equipped with 4k Digital Laser Projection system! And the screen is smaller by just a few meters compared to to BFI London..

Told you that you could do it! Well done buddy. I saw Mission Impossible there and a few weeks later Oppenheimer. The latter blew me away.

Awesome video. Can't wait to go there next time im in UK

Thank you for the great video! Here in Italy we have the Arcadia Cinema (located in Melzo, near Milan, with 5 screens) which also lights up the speaker behind the screen for a few second before the beginning of the show. The biggest auditorium of the 5, called Energy, it's equipped with the biggest screen of the country (30x16,5 meters, which was the biggest one in the world at the time it opened back in 1997) and the current biggest Dolby Atmos configuration in the world provided by Meyer Sound (70.000 watt of power). It's widely considered one of the very best theatres in europe (it won the ICTA award for the best screen in europe in 2017) and it's capable of showing films in a dual 4K laser projection (by Christie) and it's also currently showing Oppenheimer in the 70mm/5perf film format.

awesome video, thank you very much! I hope to visit it some day. Keep up the wonderful content :)

Thank you my friend.

Hi Bored Tech, You make EXCELLENT videos, and this is no exception. Michael Ford (credited) does an amazing job keeping such high standards in his projection room, and also with his presentation. He is the best. Thank You. Spoolbox.

Can’t wait to watch the dark knight in 70MM here. It will be my first experience at BFI

Very informative and well-produced thank you. I am anxiously waiting for the Sydney new IMAX facility to open In 2014 I made a short video of the projectionist lacing up the 1570 projectors.

Thank you for such an amazing walkthrough of the BFI IMAX and for going into such detail about the equipment used. I have never seen anything online that examined a theatre in as much depth.

I have no idea they do traditional 35/70mm at BFI IMAX! Not sure what screening they do, I would've thought the rescreenings of old stuff are usually in digital. That said, it's still sad that they don't have a dual laser setup to fill that screen, like many other venues do (I think London science museum does)

IMAX 1570 GT film projector. ❤ 1.43:1 screen. ❤

I was very young wjen I went to the BFI imax. Saw the Disney movie "Tangled", and I cant remember alot about it apart from how huge the auditorium is, and the waiting area ourside the screen

Gorgeous theatre. Interesting that their Laser projector doesn't do the full 1.43 image size. I feel like that would be a bummer if they played a movie like Dune and it didn't fill the entire screen.

Amazing channel dude, helps to get a preview of what I’m gonna spend my hard earned cash on.

What company welded the screen, is there a video on how they are made?

Love this video! Can you please do Manchester's VUE Max as well please!

Amazing content brother. Keep it up . 🤎

Great video - thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing Dune 2 at the BFI IMAX in a few weeks time. I'm not sure how well 4K Digital IMAX will scale up to 15/70 film but at least the audio will be awesome. But for me the most immersive film format was 3-strip Cinerama on a huge curved screen that I saw as a kid. The roller coaster sequence in 'This is Cinerama' is the only time I had to cover my eyes during a film.

I’m quite surprised they don’t have a dual laser system tbh. I wonder how much a single one of those projectors cost...

Screen the upcoming Hindi movie jawan...will come to watch there

Are the shots of the seating from before the seating change? The upper rows dont look the same as when i visited two times this year EDIT: Just wanted to add that I still love your videos and appreciate all the information you provide

Awesome vid dude. I've lived in London my whole life, and I've never been to the BFI IMAX before. I've booked my ticket to see Gareth Edward's *The Creator* here. Can't wait!!

I live in Manchester and I am seriously thinking to travel to London to watch interstellar at the BFI in 70mm next year if they are doing another rerelease of it

Good vídeo ..thanks.... This was a good cinema in 2000, now it's an expensive, uncomfortable, dated screen picture and sound wise...

well i didn't know they had a 35/70mm projector, would be good if they could show some more films on 5/70 film (2001?)

Hello! What's the without doubt the best seat to watch ab Christopher NolaN IMAX movie?

I have yet to see a real 1.43:1 IMAX theater. Only have 1.9:1 IMAX Xenon screens near me.

bored_tech what is the best seats in your opinion?

❤👌

Is The Marvels 3D worth it? It's the only one showing at the moment! Will the 2D version be a better choice?

I could use those speakers in my bedroom 😁

3:53 that would be an aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and not 1.43:1

Hey,Did you know your video was moved to Bilibili?

Biggest 15/70 IMAX Screen in the World is in Australia Biggest IMAX Digital Screen in the World is in Germany

Personally I think this screen and cinema is very uncomfortable

Picture not better than dolby vision and sound not better than dolby atmos, dts x equiped with 64 speakers 128 channels, providing immersive picture and sound.
