What’s the deal with IMAX version of movies? I know it’s for imax big screen, but if we what difference does it make if we watch on our small tv screen? Can someone enlighten me please.

The taller aspect ratio (as opposed to standard 2.35:1 for most modern blockbusters) can actually fill up the entirety of your TV screen for more immersive viewing instead of the black bars on the top & bottom of the picture.

You can try to search for some video comparisons available on YouTube - quite a big difference IMO thumbsup.gif

But if the actual movies is in 2.35:1 format, then imax version could just be a crop of the 2.35:1 version to 16:9. In other words the imax version might be missing something on the and and right side?

From the top gun imax vs the normal version, looks the cinema version is a crop of the imax version. So basically the imax version you get to see more of the top and bottom part of the screen. Ok. I'm sold on imax version now
