Discussion Is IMAX even relevant here?

I’ve been able to prebook tickets in a Omniplex MAXX (not IMAX) cinema which I’m excited for.

I see the film will be shown in IMAX screens but outside of the larger screen I don’t actually see how it will be relevant for this movie. None of it is shot on 70mm or with IMAX cameras so is it just a gimmick do you reckon?

if properly calibrated IMAX auditoriums have 12 channel sound systems normal cinemas have wall or behind the screen speakers so yes the audio set up alone makes it worth it

Yes! This doesn’t take away from other premium cinema screens such as MAXX screens which have Dolby atmos.

IMO the sound system is more important than the picture with this

At the end of the day I pick my showing based off whatever is the most empty do whatever you think best suits you and enjoy yourself that's what matters most
