Between Dolby Cinemas, IMAX, RealD 3D, and Regal RPX there are a lot of ways to watch a movie. And some movies like The Lion King are released in all of them. But which of these premium formats is better? Well, it depends on you and on the movie. If you want the biggest screen size you can get, you want IMAX. But if you're an audiophile you'll love Dolby Atmos. And different genres lend themselves to different formats. A comedy is probably fine in standard/digital. But if you're seeing a big blockbuster you might want a format like IMAX or Dolby Cinema.

I saw Endgame in Dolby and that was my first time seeing a movie in the new Dolby theater. It was the most immersive, epic movie experience I've ever had and now I only see movies with Dolby.

Pixar makes movies to add contributions to the cinematic world. Toy Story 3 was supposed to be the final film of the franchise in 2010, until 4 years later John Lasseter had a crazy "what if?" situation with the Toy Story world. He couldn't stop thinking about it and he eventually had to make a secretive screenplay treatment with the other writers. Pixar is extremely strict with sequels because they feel as though creating them totally ruins the magic of the initial film (which is why Ratatwoille or Wall-E 2 won't ever exist) . They only create movies unless there is heart behind them. If anything, Pixar wants to make you cry and witness something heartwarming more than they want your money.

I usually pick Dolby. If the movie I want to watch doesn’t have a choice of Dolby, I just go with standard.

@jfwfreo 4 жыл бұрын

The theater I go to most of the time only has one option (unless they are showing it in 3D which I can't see due to vision problems). All 5 theaters in the cinema use "Barco laser projection" so the only difference is between the one with the massive screen or the 4 with the smaller screens. They dont have any of the Dolby stuff unfortunately (which is a pitty since Dolby Atmos in a properly set up theater is way better than regular surround sound audio)

@dozer11 4 жыл бұрын

And Dolby usually is a better choice than IMAX. Better sound and visuals. IMAX is usually LieMAX where it’s a smaller than the full IMAX screen and the sound is just turned up to 11. Dolby is clean audio.

The big problem is when theaters take existing regular auditoriums and "upgrade" them to Dolby or IMAX. The improved picture and sound really don't make that big of a difference when you're watching it on a tiny screen. A true IMAX screen is 100 feet wide, but there are theaters passing off 50 foot wide screens as IMAX. Also, I've found Dolby's bass below the seat to be incredibly annoying and distracting.

very well explained, now this is quality info unlike other vids that sound like rubbish when explaining things. I think 3_D isnt as popular because people prefer the in ur face pop up effects that would pop out of the screen rather than just in depth look. I think having both in depth and pop out effects without the screen looking dim when wearing the glasses would be nice. I do like wearing glasses and nothing wrong with the look and feel of the plastic glasses, its just sucks it dims the screen.

James Cameron is working on a theater system for glassesless 3D. And like a lot of things that also depends on the filmmaker. If you get a director that doesn't really care much for the 3D then it's going to suck. It could also depend on the theater you have. A lot of theaters only have their bulbs at 50% to save on lifespan. If the theaters do things correctly and you won't really notice much of a difference in the image brightness.

Dolby Atmos isn't just more speakers for more accurate sound location. It's using all the speakers in tandem to simulate a soundsource in 3d space. Previously, multiple channel speaker setups either have the Left/right/back/back left/ back right/ Top right/ etc. either ALL ON or ALL OFF, meaning that if the theatre had 8 Left channel speakers and the sound was going front to back on the left side, the speakers would be ALL ON, while with Atmos the left channel speakers would be producing sound one at a time, maybe two, maybe three, depending on where the sound is, its size, and its volume. That's why they often demo a fly buzzing around before the movie starts. This makes it really scalable. It works whether you have a 5.1 sound system at home or up to 128 speakers in a theatre.

3:50 As far as I am concerned, any digital IMAX projection is LieMax. If I can’t get a seat behind the front half of the theater seats (which are hundreds of seats) then I can count all the pixels even on an 8K projection. And digital features are rarely shot and mastered on 8K, usually just 4K, 6K, 2K, and sometimes even 1080p that’s then cropped through the film editing process. So a lot of the time we are just watching an upscaled movie, stretched wider than normal. On a home HDTV that’s fine, but on a giant screen sitting close up I sometimes experience a screendoor effect. So it’s often better to see it on standard. On film, that’s a different story, then I’ll feel like I can see every pore on a face and every grain of sand and that’s it’s higher res than reality. 70mm film or bust!

okay, my 1st time here & iam glad to have discovered it. 1st, i love, absolutely love, going to cinemas. iam not big fan of live-action 3D, not after my whole Avatar experience. i saw in 3D & was annoyed & got a headache. then it was released in IMAX 3D & the difference was night & day. Standard/Digital 3D works best with animation. not live-action flicks. RPX 3D was an exception to live-action. Green Hornet in that format was amazing. i don't know if things changed since i last saw a 4DX feature, but having your seat thrash about during trailers, was enough for me to be tired of it very quickly. by the time Civil War began, i wanted to leave. yes, going to multiplex has changed. there a menu of ways to watch new releases. depending what it is, if it's if there's a special format for it, thats how i'll view it.

My theater doesn’t have Dolby but IMAX is a great improvement from standard

I’ve been to a theater with Dolby Atmos and I swear it’s so loud. At the same theater it’s a Giant Screen that’s the full huge wall without black bars. I wanted Far From Home with it and it was so cool! Edit: At that same theater, it was reclining seats, reserved seats and it has a food tray. Between each row is a half wall, so you can put you feet up without hitting someone if you have long legs. Of put the seats back without worrying about it hitting someone.

4d is good for movies like Jurassic world etc But for action movies, which are more frequent 4d doesn't worth for the pay Also 3d ,these days is reducing the contrast or brightness of the movie I may have gone into some shit theatre but I say end game and captain Marvel without 3d glasses cause it's all dark Also the real 3d scenes ( like things right into our face etc )are very few and sometimes none So now it won't matter if it's 3d

A solid presentation about viewing experience. The only part you have wrong is aspect ratio being "black bars." With the exception of Christopher Nolan, aspect ratios for cinema are usually a 2.35:1 that is exported for public viewing. The industry doesn't just throw some black bars on their footage and call it a day. You even have examples in your video showing that they are not throwing bars on and that between standard 4K and Imax is just showing more of the frame

Regular 5.1 or 7.1 theaters do just that all those speakers on the side and behind you play the same thing, even though there's speakers all over the theater it's only 5 speakers and a subwoofer. Dolby Atmos has each speaker play sounds independently, it's a true "surround sound" it can go up to 64.2 (that's 64 speakers & there's two subwoofers sometimes) maybe even more I'm not entirely sure. The coolest experience with Dolby Atmos for me was Godzilla: King of the Monsters, watching the scene from the human perspective and hearing Godzilla and roaring above you was amazing.

Hyderabad Imax is a big screen but it's not imax projection because Prasad's didn't have enough money to pay royalty to imax... So now they have normal projection slightly stretched which doesn't even cover the entire screen and they call it "big screen" which is basically a rip-off

No wonder Dolby was so expensive when I watched Call of the Wild with the vibrating seats. I try my hardest to get the auditorium to myself, so I go the latest/last screening on Thursday night. I got the whole auditorium when I saw The Lego 2 movie in 3D as well as The Invisible Man.
