Hi All,

I was wondering whether there are any IMAX Real 3D movie halls in Kuala Lumpur?

I know the one in time Square (GSC) is IMAX 3D, but is it Real 3D??

How about the one in Sunway?

I am actually hyped for The Amazing Spiderman this one has awesome web slinging scenes And afte the trailers I have been watching everyday till the movie comes out, I really am pumped up for going to watch it in 3D, but since there is a real 3D version coming out, so I ask that question.

So please assist

thanks y'all

Malaysia cinema suckss...
In Bangkok, 4DX now

Sorry to burst your bubble but the one in Times Square is a fake-ass cinema!

There's a diff between Real3d & IMAX! The latter is better than the former.

So I recommend the one in Sunway pyramid.

Don't go the one in Times Square anymore.

Care to explain why? Is the sound and picture quality bad?

Ok IMAX is a franchise itself. It has a standardized quality worldwide. The Imax in Sunway would have the same quality as the Imax in Singapore (of course subject to cinema maintenance and stuff). The one in Times Square called "GSCMAXX" is actually a product of GSC where by they blow up the image of the film themselves. Imax movies however goes through a process known as DMR which is done in Hollywood . The one in Times Square USED TO BE an Imax but due to unenthusiastic demand closed down... So instead of wasting a huge auditorium and screen they decided to make one themselves Hope it helps

In order to truly enjoy The Dark Knight Rises as the topic started wishes, then he must watch it in IMAX since the director of the film shot 55 minutes of footage with IMAX cameras

edit
Oh the topic starter wanted to watch The Amazing Spider-Man haha my bad. From what I heard Imax3D focus more on stuffs popping out of the screen where REAL3D focus more on depth perception. But from my own experience... Nothing beats IMAX! or IMAX3D for that matter

Oh i see, before it got taken over by GSC, i had a cahnce to watch King Kong(2005) there. That time it was still real IMAX standard right?

How about the one at TGV Sunway Pyramid? I think the screen is too small, not IMAX standard,
but the picture and sound quality is really good, but I'm still not sure if it's IMAX standard or not

I hate to be a bad news bear but... OK back b4 2005 they were the original IMAX cinemas where they use real 70mm film stock with giant-ass screens. Then the digital revolution came, a new type of IMAX cinema is born the DIGITAL IMAX... or some aptly calls it LIEMAX. Unfortunately the one in Sunway is a LIEMAX (so is the one in SG), thus you felt it being small and all, that said, it's till the best hall in Malaysia, not the one we deserve but the one we need... . There are only a few true IMAX cinema in the world... most in the western hemisphere...

YES! the one in Times Square last time was true IMAX standard!

Thanks for the info bro Never knew that.

So when I saw King Kong last time in 2005, it was already Digital IMAX?
When did IMAX at Times Square opened btw? was it late 2004?
I remember going to BTS for the first time back in 2004, but the IMAX still in construction.

I know the film Bolt was it's opening film if I'm not mistaken haha. It was shown in 3D so I think it's till a digital IMAX but bigger... Oh well just don't go to the GSCMAXX anymore not that I'm a GSC hater, I just felt they took advantage of consumer's lack of knowledge.

Oh bummer, I thought when I saw King Kong it was still real IMAX, I thought I'm one of those lucky one who get to watch real IMAX, since it's so rare now.

Thanks for notifying about both Times Square and Sunway Pyramid.

No prob! I can't stand it when people go watch a film In Times Square gets disappointed, then blames IMAX for their bad experience!

An I see. I'm planning to watch The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX in Sunway Pyramid too. Hopefully they will have an IMAX version for this film.

They better! otherwise I'll tell Bane to blow them up!

Ahahaha! TDKR geek too eh?

Yesssss!!!!!!!If there's only 1 movie I can watch this year. TDKR will be it! 55 minutes of pure IMAX footage!

imax was in times square it was huge disappointment.
tgv manage to revamp the brand

Those that experience it before, is it better to watch it at front row like 3D?

55 minutes of pure IMAX footage so what? We can't view them on the Digital IMAX screen at Sunway...

one thing I hated with IMAX is with the huge screen the subtitles also big ass which is very annoying especially in 3D movie it's like almost half of the screen are covered with subtitles.

which no one here will be able to experience

As Batman would say, not the IMAX hall we deserve, but the one we NEED!

i dont care how real imax is as long i can enjoy bigger screen, more superb sound than THX, n more clarity and sharp pictures, thats enough for me.

Just wondering, for those who have seen Dark Knight Rises in Imax (@ Sunway Pyramid) are there subtitles?

yes.

Some n00b question,

why cinema still using projector instead of build a big LED screen ?
How does the super big thick tape works ?
Why makes cinema projector different from other projector ?
Why still using film even we are in digital world now ?



Look at the size of the tape.
