I was going to say Dune 2 but just found out it got delayed to 2024 cause of the writers and actors strikes (can the greedy fucks at Hollywood pay these amazing and talented people man, God damn). My recommendation for an authentic IMAX experience is Oppenheimer. It was the premier IMAX film to be recently released, and you can still watch it at IMAX though on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday midnight, 12am at TGV 1Utama or Sunway Pyramid (though I recommend 1Utama more). You could check out Gran Turismo and Blue Beetle in IMAX right now too, as both films are 1.9:1 in aspect ratio (this means the movie's image is taller/bigger), which is typically the main reason to visit IMAX halls in the first place.

Anyone here watched Malbatt: Misi Bakara in IMAX? What is the aspect ratio (does it occupy majority of the screen) and do you guys recommend it in IMAX? Otherwise, I will be visiting Lalaport BBCC Big DA for the film, mainly to assess the new Big hall.

Nice to see Dai Goh back after so long haha. Is Lalaport's Big screen bigger than Starling's and Mytown? I'm interested in Bukit Jalil as well, but saving my first visit there for the IMAX hall release.

1.9:1

Already watched in TGV southern IMAX haha

sama la, but I fat fark
so more sensitip
slip disc sakit wor

Happy merdeka cine lovers

Ok GSC just announced Interstellar resecreening only available on 4DX or Big. Which one should I go to get the best screen/audio qualtity.

Super dissapointed no iMax showing

Big for big screen, image quality and sound. 4dx for seat motion (basically a roller-coaster ride). I recommend trying both, Big or cinematic immersion, 4dx for physical thrill ride.

I watched both Inception (4DX 1U) and the Conjuring (GSC MV) and I think I'm done with the WB100 movies. There's no picture upscaling in quality or even audio improvements to enjoy with the re-watch. Ticket prices charged at normal rates.

I rather stay home, save money and watch it in my home theatre.

Is there any good movies to look for in 2023 besides Dune?

And when is IMAX BJ opening huhu

Hey Katharsis my man who keeps the thread running haha...we should catch up la one day for a movie...

BigScreen Lalaport is somewhat similar to Tropicana Gardens Mall in terms of hall size and screen size. Most of the bigscreens we have here are plus minus around there, personally I can't seem to reap any benefit of a screen larger by a few feet. Hall layout, screen distance for immersion and picture quality seems to be winner for me. Like the immersion in TGV 1U for eg, that's def something but picture quality

I guess I'm still disappointed we lost our IMAX BTS from years ago when it comes to screen sizes. Went for a walk to the IMAX/MAXX hall at level 10 last week, right now its being used as a church temporarily but the whole floor seems to be dead! Well at least its being used for a good reason instead of decaying





Off topic, here's a pic from SFX Phuket.... visit during Merdeka, didn't get a chance to watch a movie unfortunately but got myself popcorn and it sucked...

Haha, maybe when TGV Bukit Jalil's IMAX opens up, both of us, if not active members of this thread could meet up at Bukit Jalil Pavilion for a film together. I'm a bit sad that I will likely not be able to experience 70mm IMAX since films using that format is pretty rare nowadays, let alone expensive to upkeep that type of hall. I think the best us Malaysians could get is IMAX GT Laser for a 1.43:1 experience, but doubt it will happen because:

1. I guess the more expensive investment for a IMAX GT laser projector and hall upkeep deters GSC/TGV

2. Most IMAX films are 1.9:1, so having a 1.43:1 screen is not worth it (even the largest IMAX screen in the world located in Germany is 1.9:1)

That said, Sunway Velocity's TGV IMAX is the only hall in Malaysia to have a 1.43:1 screen (1.33:1 to be exact), yet it still uses the Xenon lamp projector, so the screen will never be fully filled. I mean if you already have that screen aspect ratio, why not just upgrade it to IMAX Laser GT? (oh right, money :\)

I hope Bukit Jalil's screen, even if they go with a 1.9:1 screen is equivalent or bigger than I-City. It just better be laser since the standard has increased with GSC introducing IMAX Laser.

You up for Haunting in Venice?

Nah not really, nothing in the upcoming blockbusters excites me.

Haha ok

4 me Expenables 4 is the last of the year

Me still topkek no dune in 2023

There are some articles stating that IMAX corp are looking to re-screen Oppenheimer again in IMAX halls. Here's hoping it's true and it coincides with Pavillion Bukit Jalil's IMAX opening (and I pray that the screen is 1.43:1 and Laser GT).

Also yeah sucks that Dune 2 got delayed. I think next year will be rough for films in general with the ongoing Hollywood strike.

starling mall
Big cinema reclining couple seats the best

which other BIG got recliner seat?

planning to watch Interstellar re-release on GSC, apparently only two place to watch on BIG in KV. can any sifu here recommend which is the better experience, Tropicana or Lalaport?

I haven't been to Lalaport's gsc Big but @rideverest's recent post mentioned the screen size is similar to Tropicana Gardens, so honestly any one of them is a good choice. The Dolby Atmos performance of both should be similar, so honestly, pick whichever one is the most convenient for you to visit.

Just watched Interstellar re-release in Lalaport 4DX.

Was a bit disappointed - there was only seat movement. No fan, water the no air nozzle beside your ear effect.

There was some cool moments especially when the spaceship is launching, but overall experience was nowhere near Top Gun Maverick's level. Probably better to watch this re-release in BIG isntead.
