Kinda feels like you've already explained it yourself lol. I'm in the mood of IDK how the sausage is made, just want to have the taller aspect ratio that we are not getting likely cause of money + up cost reasons. On another note congrats on getting tickets fo your first IMAX viewing. Demon Slayer sold out quick but then again, anime in Malaysia and this series in particular is super popular here.
I think the movie aspect ratio should be 1.78:1 (16x9 actually hahaha, common tv and monitor aspect) like the previous films, so the image will be tall. Again, our IMAX halls can only display up to 1.9:1 so I'll assume yhr left and right side of the screen will be letterboxed (have minor blakl bars) for the image to fully fit. Anyway, I'm sure itnaill be an awesome experience for you at Velocity.
I've never tried 1U's Big hall, I think it recently opened there like a month ago. I may actually visit it for review hahaha. While you're there, you could do us a solid by taking and posting photos of the hall + screen here.
Anyway, Big halls use 4k laser projectors that displays clearer, brighter and higher detail images than traditional halls. Like it's name sake, you also get a bigger screen though the size varies in the different locations (Starling has the biggest Big screen that GSC offers, while Lalaport as far as I know is the smallest). The hall is also typically equipped with Dolby Atmos speakers, usually many of them which provides better audio quality and surround sound.
Tech wise, Big halls' image quality is slightly weaker than IMAX Laser. I would say it's slightly better than IMAX Xenon, but it's very hard to notice between these two. IMO they're not as bright vs IMAX Laser but they are still high definition and better than other large format halls. Dolby Atmos is definitely better than what IMAX can offer, 12 Channel/speakers or what not. DA halls have way more speakers than IMAX as it can go up to 64 in a hall, meaning more direction sounds can come from. My personal opinion too is that DA is comfortably loud whereas IMAX can be deafening at times depending on a film's audio mix.
I hope this answers your question and have a good time with the hall.
Hey ya, after trying out both Starling and 1U's newly renovated HLB BIG halls with DA. Starling's one is big and we the viewers are a lot closer to the screen itself as it was one of the earlier adopters so the seats were only standard with minimal leg room. 1U's one has an elevated experience with upgraded premium reclining seats with big leg room space. Best of all, same ticket pricing so I will continue to patronise 1U's BIG hall for a better overall experience. 1U's hall is definitely smaller as well.
