Take this question to popularize cinemas, written purely by experience. Please correct me if there are any shortcomings.
The IMAX hall is heated by Avatar. At present, China is the largest market for IMAX (yes, IMAX is a screen and a Canadian company). Simply put, IMAX has the characteristics of high picture definition and film resolution, large screen and high brightness. But the ticket price is also very expensive.
On the other hand, there are many IMAX halls in China. In order to make money, the IMAX halls of some cinemas almost violate their standards-the standard IMAX screen is 22 meters wide and 16 meters high (this is the IMAX film format standard, and the IMAX digital playback standard is 22 meters wide and 12 meters high, thank you for your correction), plus high-standard projection and audio equipment. I have seen some IMAX halls with small screens and cinemas. It feels like bringing foreigners into third-and fourth-tier cities and telling them that "this is the north of China".
Personally, I think IMAX hall is not the most cost-effective, and there are also large movies. Of course, we pursue bigger screens and better sound effects. In addition to IMAX, we also recommend the following cinemas that are suitable for watching blockbusters and have good cost performance:
China giant screen hall
This is China's own patent against IMAX Hall. Simply put, the Chinese giant screen brings together the best parts of the world. The effect can be imagined. The giant screen, sound effects and brightness are completely suitable for large-scale movies. Although it is a little worse than IMAX, its cost performance is much higher than IMAX.
Moreover, in the past two years, the giant screens in China have been shown by lasers, and the brightness is no less than that of IMAX Hall, and the brightness of watching 3D movies is excellent.
It should be noted that the giant screen is not equal to the Chinese giant screen. Nowadays, many cinemas say that a bigger screen is a giant screen, which confuses the concept.
Dolby Concert Hall
About Dolby, what everyone hears most is Dolby panoramic sound. Yes, at the beginning, Dolby Company made sound effects, and its Dolby Panoramic Auditorium was almost the king of sound effects in cinemas.
In recent years, due to the popularity of IMAX Hall and China Giant Screen Hall, Dolby Company began to March into the construction of the whole cinema, with uniform standards for not only sound effects, but also seats, passages and projectors.
Dolby Hall is a potential stock and a rising star. Believe me, if you have a chance to go to the Dolby Hall to see a movie, you won't be disappointed.
Royal d (deluxe)
This is Dolby's sworn enemy. Dolby's advantage lies in sound effects, and Real D's advantage lies in 3D. RealD 3D technology not only has higher brightness, but also avoids an obvious disadvantage of linear polarization 3D technology used in other theaters because it uses circularly polarized light to produce stereoscopic image projection: if the head shakes and moves violently when wearing glasses, it will produce ghosting and affect the impression.
At present, Broadway in China is basically equipped with luxury halls.
Laser and non-laser
In addition to the above featured pavilions, there are DTS Pavilion and 4DX Pavilion, and others can be almost classified as ordinary pavilions. Don't think that the effect of ordinary halls is the same, and the effect of screening is also very different.
The main difference is laser and non-laser. In the case of non-laser, in order to save costs, cinemas usually reduce the brightness of projector bulbs, thus reducing the brightness of the screen. This is very bad for the 3D look and feel.
Finally, correct many people's thoughts: the "quality" of movies is not in 3D at all. At present, there are too many shoddy 3D versions in China, so it is better to watch 2D versions.
Of course, you have to see IMAX to see this kind of special effects movie. Compared with 3D, 4D has more seating systems and environmental special effects, but it has no actual feeling and is more expensive. Moreover, 4D cinemas are mostly in theme parks, which are not available in general cinemas. Relatively speaking, watching ordinary 3D is the most affordable, but if you pursue perfect special effects, you can go to see IMAX or Dolby panoramic sound, which has famous sound effects.
These two modes aim at different directions. IMAX corresponds to the sense of picture, while Dolby panoramic sound aims at sound effects. IMAX is simply what we usually call a giant screen, with a large viewing area, which is much larger than other halls. Besides, the screen is also very big. Moreover, some screens are curved, and each position can bring the best viewing experience to the audience. IMAX is also divided into movies. Not all movies can have IMAX, but many.
Dolby panoramic sound is different from IMAX sound. In terms of sound effects, Dolby Panoramic Sound adopts a brand-new sound effect technology. Simply put, it is to make the sound realize the feeling of 3D. I think everyone knows this feeling. When we are listening to some music, wearing headphones, the concert has a feeling of being far away and near, surrounding ourselves. This is 3D surround sound, which often makes people feel immersive and the experience is very good.
On the technical level, Dolby Panoramic Sound can locate the sound, such as the continuity of a sound, and it will make the sound more realistic according to this positioning. Dolby Panorama has many sound systems, front, back, left and right, that is, the ceiling, so you can get a good sound experience. To see Dolby panoramic sound, the film source must first support Dolby panoramic sound system. Of course, the movie Avengers 4 will definitely be there, so I don't need this.
IMAX is projected by two projectors at the same time, and the 3D effect is incomparable to ordinary 3D, and the ordinary 3D screen is smaller, the venue is smaller, and the number of stereos is relatively less. Therefore, the experience is far less than IMAX, and most ordinary 3D halls will use optical technology, which will lose a lot of resolution. Unlike IMAX, there is no loss in resolution with two projectors, and the visual effect brought by IMAX's huge screen.
Of course, the prices of IMAX and Dolby panoramic sound are definitely much more expensive. If you buy it on the ticketing APP, there are discounted tickets, which are relatively cheaper. If you buy tickets at the cinema, the price will go up a lot. Now Avengers 4 is pre-sold in North America, and the price is not good for reference. However, according to "Avengers 3" last year, the ordinary 3D ticket price should be 40 in the first week. IMAX and Dolby Panoramic Sound will cost between 80 and 120. Of course, if there are various discount tickets, the price will be adjusted according to the consumption situation in various regions.
There are still about 20 days before the film is released. Are you ready to watch the movie for three hours? What kind of movies are you going to see? IMAX or Dolby Panoramic Sound?
4DX or IMAX?
Answer: IMAX. (Laser IMAX is the best)
Reason:
This movie was shot with IMAX camera, and the proportion of IMAX Quan Huafu accounts for a large proportion of the whole movie. It can be inferred that most CG pictures are in IMAX format, and more picture information can be seen. The total length of the film is 182 minutes, and the time of IMAX frame is certainly not short. Therefore, watching IMAX is the most cost-effective!
4D pays attention to the experience of the five senses, and the picture effect is actually average. If you look at the picture effect, you must choose IMAX. If you like 4D games, you can watch IMAX first, then 4D, and vice versa. Get back together. Brush it a few times. No problem.
Thirdly, IMAX is called IMAX. When choosing a cinema, you must choose IMAX cinema. If you have the conditions, you can even choose IMAX laser cinema, which has the best effect.
Other brands that look like "IMAX", such as China Giant Screen, actually have different degrees of frame cutting. In order to ensure that you can see the most genuine IMAX picture, you must choose IMAX cinema. (I'm not advertising)
The first choice is 3d imax, with the best picture quality, large hall, leather seats and wide location. The price is not much more expensive than ordinary 3d, and it is even cheaper in some periods. The only uncertain factor is that couples in the front row are chatting and playing with their mobile phones. 4d picture quality is slightly worse, and the hall is small. I watched it more than ten times as soon as I saw it, and I also encountered two projector failures. Obviously, the standard is not much higher. Dolby cinema is similar to imax in all aspects, but the poor ears make little difference. You don't have to care about surround sound when reading subtitles, but the glasses frame is too small, so it's easy to see the frame uncomfortable. Not to mention ordinary 3 d, of course, the standards vary from place to place. In some small places, the quality of 3d cinema is not as good as 2d. The quality of the surrounding audience is the most influential factor, so in IMAX and Dolby, I will avoid the peak period and choose a hall with few people to watch movies, so that I can change places when I meet sand sculptures.
By the way, the screenshot of the ticket purchase is from Shazam.
In previous years, Wanda's reunion began to be pre-sold more than half a month in advance.
Ha ha ha, the highest Dolby Hall is 300, others are 166. As a result, I spent 49 yuan to buy a Wanda premiere imax3d. Why is there a coupon in the card package?
Comprehensive picture and sound, or IMAX3D, "The Fantasy Drifting of Pi" began to turn pink. The dual-camera 3D picture is brighter than ordinary 3D, which depends not only on the screen size, but also on the size and number of seats of the screening hall and the per capita screen area. This is my personal judgment standard. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate or unprofessional, just want to make an image metaphor. I don't know how big the screen is after seeing the Chinese giant screen. The hall is too big, but I feel the screen is small. Each studio has different investment in different equipment, and even IMAX movies in different studios are different. Operation Red Sea personally brushed the same movie twice, and it can be compared that one of the two IMAX screens is dark. In the plot of "Ant Man 2" climbing the crystal chandelier, the subtle sound made by the crystal shaking and collision is inaudible in some IMAX halls, and the sound is different, and the resolution and reduction are not high enough. I am not a professional. I just feel that some studios mainly invest in projection and sound, while others share the investment ratio with other facilities, such as adjustable first-class seats. This thing is just like playing with headphones. The same song or music uses the same playback equipment, but the headphones are different, and the gap can be compared. And the picture is also divided into panoramic IMAX, because some movies are converted from ordinary IMAX, and IMAX is best at documentaries. IMAX started as a giant egg movie in the Science Palace, and all of them are documentaries with clear details, which is IMAX's strength. I suggest that you have the opportunity to watch IMAX propaganda and demonstration short films, especially the animated version of IMAX 3D, or simply and directly, the title of IMAX movie countdown 3D version, the picture level is clear at a glance.
I won't talk about it anywhere else. I come from Yangzhou. Three cinemas have imax. In addition to the good screen opening effect, the brightness of the image quality behind it is generally low, and the sound quality is not surprisingly good. Look for official certification to see imax. On Wikipedia, Yangzhou has no one on the list, that is to say, it is only the imax hall, not the imax cinema. Similarly, there are many Dolby halls, and Dolby Cinema Yangzhou is Wanda. The others are Dolby Concert Hall, and they have bought tickets for Friday night in Shazam, about 60. The second time the ticket was so expensive (a small city with 4 lines), the first time it was Billy Lynn's 150. The picture quality is very good. Imax relies on imax lasers, only in big cities. If Shazam works well, all future blockbusters will be owned by Wanda. Look for the ticket before you buy it, otherwise it is not as good as the ordinary hall.
Hello, my friend, watch Avengers 4, the first IMAX.
First of all, IMAX is very different from ordinary 3d. Because the resolution of IMAX cinema is higher than that of ordinary 3D cinema, and the screen is bigger, you can enjoy the shocking vision from any angle in the cinema. The 3D effect is incomparable to ordinary 3D movies, especially the super blockbuster like The Avengers, so you must enjoy the best visual experience.
It must be the latest laser IMAX. There is only 10 in the whole country, and I happen to have it in this city.
