Best cinema halls in Malaysia, using Top Gun: Maverick as reference for picture & sound.

1) IMAX Sunway Velocity - Largest IMAX screen in Malaysia.
2) IMAX Midvalley Southkey, JB - Best IMAX screen in Johor + best overall IMAX sound setup in Malaysia.
3) 4DX - GSC OneUtama, PJ - In terms of 4DX motion system setup. Picture & Sound Quality loses out to IMAX.
4) 4DX - GSC Midvalley Southkey, JB - If you want to catch 4DX in Johor. Picture & Sound Quality loses out to IMAX.
5) ScreenX - Not worth the money if you're watching the movie for the 1st time. Better to watch in IMAX instead.

6) Everything else, still loses out to IMAX. I would aim for IMAX first, 4DX second in terms of catching any blockbuster movies in Malaysia.

The motion will be even better if it had IMAX level sound - because the IMAX cinemas I went to, the sound was so loud that the chair and floor was vibrating. Really heart-pounding effects.
4DX sound levels is around 8-9/10 at most. But the motion effects, is really worth experiencing multiple times!

Yeah, Top Gun is one of the better 4DX movies out there. Last time Transformers was quite fun, because it felt you were on-board an Autobot / Decepticon during the scenes and being tossed around.

Let me guess. After the 3rd punch, you sit forward from the chair cause can feel the punches, right?

IMAX. Always go IMAX. Especially the one with LASER projection.

IMAX Differencehttps://www.imax.com/content/imax-difference

I wouldn't worry about IMAX 2K projectors. Overall, it's still better vs. other halls in Malaysia when it comes to both picture & sound quality.
Sadly, Transformers is not filmed using IMAX cameras / with expanded IMAX ratio, but it's still going to be good to watch in IMAX.

If you want to feel the IMAX difference for yourself, I would suggest watching Transformers, then comparing it later with MI / Oppenheimer.

You're welcome. Plus, IMAX is the only cinema screen in Malaysia, where the Chief Quality Officer's email (based in US/Canada) is displayed at the end of every email.
He replies whenever you provide feedback. I once complained about dirty screen in GSC IMAX JB, and it was solved within 1-2 weeks.
When I complain about 4DX to GSC/4DX owners, no action taken.

Why not watch 3 times for both movies? You can't replicate the same setup at home.

LOL! Imagine watching the same movie 50+ times in the cinema (IMAX / 4DX / maybe Screen-X too...)
