TGV will be launching an IMAX with Laser and 12-channel surround sound (like Dolby Atmos) at TGV Pavilion Bukit Jalil. Screenings begin on 5 October 2023. Source: @TGVCinemas tweet on Twitter

the admin also teased about something bigger when someone asked about the aspect ratio https://twitter.com/TGVCinemas/status/1706898783181971522 im not sure what that is, unless its dual laser 1:43?? which doesnt makes sense why dont they just equipped this one with the same dual laser/specs too and not different ones between branches.

Super pumped for this! Imax TGV Velocity and 1U getting upgrades too! There's a mention of KLCC having it as well!

Probably Central i-City instead of 1U or Sunway Pyramid. That and Sunway Velocity are their biggest screens, can fully display IMAX's tall 1.43:1 format

If Sunway Velocity gets dual-Laser, habislah GSC for me (unless they upgrade MyTown from BIG to IMAX Laser hall). I won't wanna watch movies anywhere else hahaha

theyve officially released the dimensions for tgv bukit jalil imax screen size. 20m x 11m https://twitter.com/TGVCinemas/status/17086...3688172/photo/1 for comparison the biggest is 19.4m x 25.9m for sunway velocity. so the old one with crappy xenon projector is more than twice taller than the new laser

i can tell you which ones is not because ive been there but not the newly upgraded ones (1U, Velocity). IOI, Pavi BJ all just average.

I live in Cheras, so that 15-minute figure is if got jam. also Velocity is like 5km away, but 1Utama is four times as far lmao
Both 1U and Velocity has laser, but Velocity has the biggest IMAX screen in Malaysia.

Basically Velocity > 1Utama. For more details on this recommendation, see this post by sifu @Katharsis

Personally, I'd say just go whichever closer since the difference in screen size not that big haha

Check out post 711 in page 36 for full details but tldr Velocity is bigger with a 1.43:1 screen, but is single laser and can't display above 1.9:1. 1U's screen is 1.9:1 (actually slightly taller) so the whole screen will be filled during 1.9:1 scenes, but it is smaller in terms of overall image display size vs Velocity, still big tho.

Preference comes down to your tolerance of letterboxing/greyish bars at the top and bottom of the screen
Don't diss 1U IMAX bro. I remember my time having to take 1 hour 20 min-ish trip to 1U to get a good IMAX experience because Velocity's hall had that twin seat bs.

I would take 1U for wide aspect ratio films over Velocity honestly, since wide AR films only display like 1/3 of the screen there. However, Pav BJ opened, I prefer going there over 1U mainly due to distance, but have to drive la vs 1U easy yet long mrt ride

Yes, because Velocity's screen is both wider and taller than 1U's (source here, thanks @katharsis):

So even when you take into account just the 1.9 part of Velocity's screen, you get a bigger image than on 1U's screen (source here, thanks @ericling):

Hi guys, gonna book ticket for Dune Part 2 soon, wanna ask apart from Sunway Velocity, is there any other IMAX theatres that are as good in Klang Valley?

Check out post #711 in page 36. It's my extensive guide to IMAX Malaysia. Tldr the best in Klang Valley is Velocity, 1U then Pav BJ as they are IMAX Laser with 12 channel audio. The next best is Central I-City but it's Xenon and 6 channel audio only, however it's still great because that screen is large, largest 1.9:1 screen in Malaysia (3rd largest in general).
Lol sure your wife won't be jealous meh? You experiencing IMAX haha, or you testing first then bring her and maybe your kids there in the future XD?

My Xenon is smaller scale 4 sure but still enough satisying for Johor folk and Singapore folk that frequently cross over
