 Picture quality is fantastic, color pops and highlight is bright! This is by far the best PQ cinema I’ve been into, beating my usual benchmark which is MBO BigScreen ElementX. Sound wise, punchy bass and you feel the rumble when it calls for it. But I think the MBO BigScreen Dolby Atmos is better. I sat at K, which is on the rear size… the sound from back sounded like from side and not much of 3D imaging. But I’m kinda nitpicking, I still enjoy the show very much la. The screen size, well I should taken the seats in middle but those need to look up a lot la… 😅 but should be more immersive sound. Man, I can’t imagine if it shows from floor to ceiling 🤩 |

Only reason I went IMAX was to experience the taller picture... cause the blu-ray will be in cinescope likely. |

QUOTE(Katharsis @ Mar 4 2024, 11:07 AM) Congratulations on experiencing IMAX for the first time. I do agree that Dolby Atmos has the better audio. Mainly because they have more speakers than IMAX (12 channel audio or 6 in older halls vs Dolby 64+) In regards to your previous post with the inside out 2 trailer, wider AR/2.39:1 films will look small because of how tall the screen is vs how wide it is, hence why I don't recommend this hall for adqpted to IMAX films. However, when viewing 1.9:1 scenes, the image will look huge. Anyway, glad you enjoyed your time there. Check out post #599 in page 30 for my review of that hall which includes seat recommendations. J is my recommendation whilst F is the max I would take. I avoid H mainly due to the safety rail in front of it as it blocks some part of the screen below. Watching 1.9:1, it does look big... but I reckon kalau it has the 1.43:1.. that would really give the wow factor! Judging from screen size, it does look "smaller" vs MBO BigScreen, but I now wonder if the BigScreen is playing 1.9:1 instead... would the IMAX look bigger instead. But PQ wise, this laser projector tapao the BigScreen's Barco laser projector anytime. |

QUOTE(Chiggah @ Mar 7 2024, 10:02 AM) Dune better in IMAX or Dolby Atmos ? Which cinema ? TGV IMAX best ? IMAX can watch in 1.9:1 ratio! TGV Velocity is good choice, I watched mine there. |

QUOTE(Chiggah @ Mar 7 2024, 01:58 PM) May I know which seats (or best rows) did you take for Dune at Velocity ? J, K , L ? Mine is K, but I feel the sound bubble a bit cham... rear sounded like side surrounds LOL. If I choose again I would go with 2-3 rows ahead. |

QUOTE(KaiHD @ Mar 9 2024, 09:56 PM) I noticed this also actually It seems like even though J is lower than K, I could hear sound effects actually going "behind" me when I tried J17 a week ago. Going to sit in K17 tomorrow and test whether one row makes a difference or not I was at K19, the rear speakers felt more like surround left and right... I barely felt anything from my rear like what I feel in Atmos theaters, or even my own set-up at home with 7 bed layers. |

QUOTE(KaiHD @ Mar 11 2024, 12:35 AM) [attachmentid=11492694][attachmentid=11492695][attachmentid=11492696] Yeah I think row K is a bit too far back (see above pics). it's slightly behind the rear ceiling speakers and only slightly in front of rear corner speakers. i definitely felt less sound effects going "behind" me. i think maybe row H would be better, but I did notice I had to tilt my head up more than usual when I tried sitting at H16 after Dune 2 ended (not sure if that would be comfortable for long periods of time, might have to recline all through a movie) I definitely don’t mind moving forward, but I have the same concern as you as K had the nice height while I’d go 2-3 rows ahead, you’re gonna be looking up more. Maybe it suits the recliner seat? But at K I was already reclined fully 😆. |

 Gonna watch GvK2 at MBO BigScreen, I just realized the screen is 16:9! But it isn’t as bright or don’t seem as big as Velocity IMAX. The subs here definitely dig deeper but SPL isn’t as loud, would be sweet if the SPL is raised to match IMAX. |

QUOTE(Katharsis @ Mar 30 2024, 07:34 PM) I think the 1.9:1 scenes are exclusive to IMAX only. Read online,, mainly IMDB and they say some scenes in IMAX will have expanded aspect ratio. The rest, Dolby cinema included, won't. Yeah, I was thinking these Dolby Atmos cinema would have cinescope screens instead. Another GSC Dolby Atmos hall in my area, when showing 16:9, the sides are masked... then when showing cinescope the mask opens up at the side making the screen even bigger. After watching the IMAX Laser, that one projector really canggih, very bright and color pops. MBO BigScreen Barco Laser projector kalah lor. And sound volume seems a tad on low side at this MBO... I used to think it is better but guess I was wrong. |

QUOTE(ericling @ May 22 2024, 09:09 PM) I watched The Batman in Starling BIG but didnt have good experience.. maybe screen was too dark and the audio was lackluster.. since then I didn't revisit Starling BIG anymore.. Ah yes, the Barco laser projector is showing its age now. It’s nowhere as bright as the laser IMAX I watched at Velocity. |

QUOTE(OfficiallyAhmad @ Sep 12 2024, 05:55 PM) I'm interested to watch a movie in Imax but reading from others experience, it seems imax is much louder than Dolby Atmos. Since I never been to Imax cinema before, is this still a current problem? I've been to Atmos, Atmos Onyx and Onyx JBL and the sound volume level is comfortable throughout the movie so I'm worried about spending big on Imax because of the audio volume issue. Also my target for Imax cinema is Sunway Velocity since it have the biggest Imax. Is H16 still the best seat there? I watched Dune 2 at Velocity (my first time to IMAX)... audio volume is alright no problem (though I was expecting more bass based on all the hype I've heard about IMAX), the tall picture format is worth the experience! |

I have only been to IMAX once... cause Melaka no IMAX  , but I will only drop by IMAX for those movies with IMAX scenes la... first time was Dune Part 2, the image alone is totally worth it when I compare to my home which is the cinescope. Lose so much info on top and bottom haiyaaaa. |
