Tracking to be the biggest pre-sales in history, biggest opening of all time and what not, Avengers Endgame is the real deal for the box office. It simply is the movie event of the year!  rclxm9.gif
So definitely have to watch in the best cinema hall in Malaysia. Now lets clear up all the fuss and muss. Avengers Infinity War and Endgame are the only movies in history till date to be shot 100% on IMAX cameras, making IMAX the 1st choice, no questions asked!
  Check It Out!!
So which IMAX to choose?
Seeing that the Digital IMAX is the only way for Malaysians, my guess is that the newer IMAX branches might be the better choices to go to. Cleaner screen, newer equipment, better environment. I've got my tickets for Endgame @ TGV IMAX Central i-City in IMAX 3D  :thumbsup: Although the other IMAX will still be a good spot for it regardless. To those who wants exclusivity/premium feel, get the IMAX Indulge seats at Sunway Velocity.
IMAX 2D or IMAX 3D?
Last year I watched Infinity War in IMAX 3D @ TGV 1 Utama. I was impressed with IMAX as usual, but not for its 3D presentation, which depends on the movie actually. IMAX 2D would have been equally good, or better for me. Considering the fact that Endgame runs for more than 3 hours, I'm not sure if 3D will be the better option if you are prone to headaches and discomfort. Given the choice I would have preferred the 2D option for Endgame. Unfortunately, TGV has more 3D showtimes to capitalize on the hype  laugh.gif Next time you guys wanna watch a 3D movie, keep track on this site as they suggest movies to be watched in 2D or 3D: https://www.cinemablend.com/3d/
Best non-IMAX option?
Go with BigScreen or Maxx Halls. How far wrong can you go? These halls are already equipped with Dolby ATMOS as well.
Premium halls?
As I have suggested, the Indulge seats in IMAX are your best bets, don't think twice. The rest of the premium halls (Gold Class, Premiere Class, LUXE) will come with a smaller screen and sound. Suitable for those who truly desire comfort and exclusivity over big halls with the masses. Choice is yours smile.gif
Don't care about which cinema hall or tickets sold out?
Well, the least you can do is get to the biggest hall of your nearby cinema that you know is reliable and consistent.
Good luck on scoring Endgame tixs on the opening Wednesday night  thumbup.gif

I noticed you mentioned that TGV Indulge has IMAX screen, is it a real IMAX screen? And whats the difference of screen between IMAX 2D and Indulge (TGV Sunway Velocity)? Thanks

Its better put that there's an indulge seat in an IMAX. TGV Velocity's IMAX also has a dedicated Indulge Twin Seats (RM96 for Endgame), allocated at the back of the hall. They also have the indulge seats for a normal cinema hall. Its also safe to say that we don't have the real 70mm IMAX in Malaysia. Hope it helps...

GSC- Midvalley - HALL 18 with ATMOS

Only 7 rows for middle seats.

Not sure if this is good for 3hours movie. Is the screen really that big? Any can give feedback?

I'm guessing any 10 rows from the back (center seating) will be good! I prefer it into my face so for me, the 8th to 12th row from back is ideal. I'm judging this based on the IMAX I've been to 1U, Sunway Pyramid, Velocity and Gurney Paragon only  tongue.gif

means nearer to the screen is better right? I've never been to TGV IMAX and I really want to try the iCity Central TGV for this.

Any reviews on I-city's IMAX 3D bro? Is it really worth? How's the premium glider seats? There's a sort of common complaint about I-city aircond on the whole to be under temp and warm.

I opted for IMAX 2d at Velocity (didn't go for 3d as it was natively shot on IMAX 2d camera). Don't really fancy the stereoD post prod.

From my Endgame experience at Velocity IMAX, YES, it is as per the video demo you shared. How did I confirm this, very simple.. movie trailers were on 2.35:1 ratio and when the actual movie started, the image was large, high to be specific. Only concern is, it wasn't full screen as in top bottom full.. I wonder why. But what I watched was super larger already for my eyes.

Guys, has anyone watched any movie or Avengers in Onyx TGV I-city? There was complain about Onyx halls generally not having the best sound. MBO Atria Onyx apparently has too much reverb all over the hall.

I watched it in I-City Onyx just yesterday. I thought the sound is pretty good, though not much difference with standard hall and definitely not comparable with IMAX

Yeah I'd say that's true. The image quality is on par with the IMAX with Laser that I visited in Melbourne, and the image quality of the digital IMAX that TGV has is definitely not comparable with Onyx, so I'd say Onyx has the best image quality in Malaysia.

However, in terms of sound, IMAX is still the best in Malaysia.

yeap...after i watched it at Onyx and i agreed what you said....sound system is just so not balance when match with the image quality.....
especially the sounds are louder on some unnecessary scenes....
although IMAX malaysia image quality is inferior compare to Onyx but the large size make it satisfied together with the extremely powerful sound system....

Anyone here try the central i-city IMAX in compare with Sunway Velocity?

btw based on the seat count seems like Velocity still bigger than I-CIty hall...so wish to see any improvement on image and sound quality.
