Hey man. Back early 2022, I'd watched Dune 1 (which had 1.43:1 scenes) in Velocity IMAX and I distinctly remembered few scenes of the film stretched taller, using almost the entire screen. Velocity's aspect ratio is taller than 1.43:1 at 1.33:1. Velocity uses dual 2k Xenon projectors which help compensate for the higher aspect ratio (there were older posts here that mentioned Velocity's IMAX uses dual 2k Xenon projectors, which should help achieve that 1.43:1 size. This is also why I saw Dune 1 stretch as tall as it did). I could be wrong but it wouldn't hurt to try.

I've been researching quite a bit, and I just cannot find anybody saying that xenon projector is capable of projecting 1.43:1, regardless if the screen size is 1.43:1 or not. In fact, the Dunkirk Format Guide even says under Imax Xenon "Please be aware - 'Traditional' 1.43:1 aspect ratio Imax theaters without Imax laser or 70mm imax film projection will present the film on xenon. The xenon system will not be able to fill the full height of the screen."

I don't think there is anywhere in Malaysia where we can get the proper Oppenheimer experience.

Watched Oppenheimer 12am show last night at IOI. Was fantastic. First time experiencing Imax so can't compare with other cinemas, but the screen fills your vision. Sat in middle of F row. Personally feel this is as low as you should go for a good experience, any lower and won't be great. Think row D or E are the best rows. Sound system was great as well, especially for this movie.

Overall, enjoyable experience at Imax IOI. Picture quality no complaints at all.

Watched Ares on Onyx at IOI Damansara. Great visual spectacle and fantastic score by NiN. Story is serviceable. Movie overall was much better than I expected. It's not amazing, but honestly it's really not bad either. It's entertaining enough to watch at the cinema.

First Onyx experience for me, and good choice imo. It's a dark movie so the display worked very well here.
