Are you sure about this. Coz back in 2013 when TGV announced IMAX TEBRAU, it was declared as the biggest in Malaysia for 70ft height. The hall is old now with ceilings all worn off but the screen to seat position is the best. I've watched in Lido IMAX which is bigger screen but seating position sucks. Tebrau IMAX is still good AF.

Yes. No maxx hall here in southkey. Got IMAX but conventional dual xenon ones only same as other TGV. GSC don't even hype about it at all. Odd actually. Screen not so big but the seats are super comfy. Even the speakers are the old ones with bass at rear corner.

They have another HALL 4 with Skybox. Hall 4 is as large as IMAX with recliner seats and Skybox is like a private room uptop in same hall with closed window view and individually speakers only for the rooms but you had to buy 4x couch seats in order to watch there.

I watched D&W in 3D last August
I can 100% confirm Tebrau IMAX is still the old dual xenon projector
No upgrade done on projection side
And its a mystery why they shut down for some months...

I donno but I went Toppen TGV few weeks ago
Didn't actually look at the big Flexound logo on the side wall
Sad thing is Infinity Hall is falling as well
The hall is way old compared to how it looked during Dec 2019 launch

No more Infinity logo at the back
No more lights on the Atmos ceiling speakers
The projector is pale, not as bright as it use to be (obviously not bright enough)
Worst part is the ATMOS - atmos content movies sound so dim and bass feel terribly buried
Non atmos content sounds good in Infinity Hall
Even the TV that displays movie title & seating during entrance to Infinity is removed
Screen is still small compare to GSC Paradigm BIG
I was heart-broken looking at how lazy Toppen TGV management are

Dear TGV, if you're reading this
Please built a huge 65ft IMAX like Sunway Velocity in JB with Dual Laser & 12 channel
Even SG people are waiting for new big IMAX in JB (fyi their biggest Shaw Lido is only 35ft high)
Both Tebrau & Southkey are Xenon 35ft puny IMAX, so smalllllllll
We are ready to cash in, what are you guys even doing???

hahaha you are right bro
I do know one fact that dual laser does exist but even western side of the world won't invest on it because of its price
Its around USD $ 2 million ++
And to be honest IMAX has stopped CoLa projector, idk why
But IMAX now only focus on Single Laser XT Projector which can shoot around 40,000 lumens only
Fyi, their obsolete dual xenon projector can give upto 33,000 lumens
So tbh all the Single Laser XT projectors installed around the world by IMAX is just a tad bit better than Xenon, that's all
So that's what they did on Sunway Velocity as well

The GT Dual Laser is still the best IMAX projector in the world
But its very very rare now
One example is the Cineworld Leicester Sq in London
Even BFI IMAX London have only single laser and I noticed the same letterboxing like in Sunway Velocity

We need a really rich investor to built a whole new cinema building for a huge 70ft screen with dual laser GT IMAX
Basically like how Shaw Brothers worked around 80 years ago
I don't think anyone will invest that much money in our country... haishhh...

true, CoLa is better than XT in terms of lumen brightness and colors. I've been to UK's BFI IMAX and its the same case as Sunway Velocity. Both are same screen size even though BFI claims that is largest screen in UK. The screen can only be filled completely by 1570mm projector, not the single CoLa. I watched Aqua 2 which had complete 1.90:1 and it was letterboxed. Same thing as Sunway Velocity. But do check on Sydney IMAX, Melbourne IMAX, Grand Sunshine Tokyo IMAX & Traumplast IMAX, all these have Dual GT Laser coz they can afford it. And GSC is basically using IMAX as a gimmick to cash in more rather than actually built a cinema hall dedicated for IMAX's true large experience. My question was why can GSC spend so much on TRX's luxury but cannot built a good size GT Laser IMAX. I mean RM70 is quite big money for a normal size screen. I would be happy to pay rm100 for a 70ft screen with Dual Laser. They can but they didn't do it, that's my frustration. They are cinema exhibitors but work like noobs.

Actually didn't know Sunway Velo is CoLa, I thought it was XT. But anyone here know the screen size of TRX's IMAX?

Guys so I finally catch up with TGV Sunway Velo IMAX after its laser upgrade. Last I watched there was Flash so I can really tell the difference. Also I usually watch in GSC Southkey IMAX which uses 3rd gen Xenon. So here is my thought

Sunway Velo IMAX is the best cinema hall I’ve been in the country. Hands down for this statement. It is single laser and I sat at Row E which is nearer to the screen. But the CoLa laser is super good. Brightness, color, contrast, and native 4K resolution all were obviously better than 3rd gen Xenon in Southkey IMAX

And the 12 channel sound - this is next level experience. There are 4 overhead speakers together with 4 corner speakers (balance 4 behind screen I guess) and the overhead speakers works way better than Atmos. Everytime helicopters fly above screen the sound passes from front to overhead speakers. Amazing precise banging sound quality

One more thing - maybe I overlooked so I hope someone here can re-confirm. Sunway Velo is a 1.43:1 screen not 1.90:1. It is the only such screen in the peninsular. And when they played Superman trailer, the image was from top to bottom of screen. Which means it was 1.43:1 footage rather than 1.90:1 which other IMAX would play. When they played MI8 even with expanded ratio, the images didn’t reach top & bottom of screen. Which is how I realised Superman trailer footage was indeed 1.43:1 which means the CoLa in Sunway Velo can project 1:43.1 footage maybe because the throw up distance between projector and screen is not far like the one in BFI IMAX London

Mind that both BFI London & Sunway Velo screen size are quite the same (85ft x 65ft) but I’ve been to BFI where it cannot even show 1.90:1 footage from left to right of screen because projector is too far from screen

I hope someone can re-confirm the Superman trailer in Sunway Velo. And the experience of watching MI8 in Sunway Velo IMAX was truly OUT OF THE WORLD 😍

I did reach the entrance of Aurum TRX and but didn’t go watch IMAX there. Yeap its rm140 for twin seats but there are some single seats also. Its CoLa so I’m still curious to know how big the screen really is… no measurements given so far

So it should be my over-sighting. Thanks for the reply. And I guess I’ll be back here for christmas later for Avatar 3. I know CoLa can handle imax hfr 3d so good.

I guess during Infinity War year 2018 BFI was still using dual xenon. They had complete revamp of seats, screen canvas & laser CoLa projection at around 2021 I think. They even did explain why they didn’t go dual laser which is disappointing to everyone coz the image never fills up top bottom left & right side of screen. Its like you zoom out to get better brightness & contrast. Why BFI IMAX is famous is because of the 1570mm projection film of IMAX which is rare. If you wanna catch digital imax movies best option is Leicester Sq Cineworld IMAX which has dual laser, impressive picture quality & great hall.

But then again, IMAX Sunway Velo is such a nice experience. I wanna come back for Avatar 3.
