Today, I was at IMAX 3D cinema for the first time of my life. It's amazing! From now I'm watching movies only in 3D or if I'll get lucky in IMAX 3D. :D
I think most IMAX are cheap knockoffs. We want a real IMAX you need a dome screen. That's right those screens are NOT flat. There's only 2 that I know of (Ben Franklin INsitute, Philidelphia, PA: Caradle Of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY)
@cancerman50 I choose to differ. IMAX dome distorts the movie projection. It is not the best option. The "real" IMAX screen is vertical 80' tall like the one shown in this video. Almost 99% of IMAX theaters nowadays are knockoffs as you said.
@Fifamaster09 That is called 4D. Many theme parks like Disneyland does that. The chairs move in sync with the 3D movie being shown. They may even blow air or spray water on your face to match the situations on screen.
@LittleMizzDJ Many movies came out in 3D in the 1950's. So the idea is 60 years old. But the technology to create the illusion is of course much different.
is the imax 3d experience really better than 3d, i'm tryna decide if i should see transformers DOTM in good ol' 2d, 3d or imax 3d, suggestions anyone, haven't been to the movies in over 10 years and i wanna see a 3d movie particularly imax but idk if its worth the money and are the glases annoying, do you notice them being on your face for 2 hours plus
@lovelydiva06 If you have not tried it, you should go at least once to a good quality one. So you find an answer for yourself. Read my other comments and responses in the video. The 3D experience is very subjective. People with motion sickness may hate it because camera movement on screen does not match with the movement of your head and the 3D realism only amplifies the confusion and dizziness. Most people love it, that is why it is some popular nowadays.
@lovelydiva06 IMAX is supposed to have good audio, but most movie theaters have THX and other sound systems that are excellent too. It is hard to tell the difference unless you are an audiophile. IMAX used to use large film format projected on huge 80 foot tall screens without sacrificing resolution. A big screen gives you the immersion experience when your peripheral vision is also filled with images. But huge screens like the one shown in this video are uncommon these days for Digital IMAX.
@cplai These days immersion is even worse at cinemas, even on big screens, because of the commonly used 2.35:1 aspect ratio, it's just not as good as 16:9 'cos you get the black bars at the top & bottom.
@xregizorx before 3D was introduced, IMAX theaters are different from regular theaters in many aspects. Those differences stay the same. On top of those, different companies use different technique to create the 3D illusions. IMAX 3D uses linear polarization filters. Real-D 3D and Disney 3D uses circular polarization filters. These filters are applied on the projected images, and the filters on your glasses have to match. The lens of the two types are not compatible. IMAX 3D is decades older.
@TheLuotutin Search for "Automated Reconstruction of 3D Models" on youtube. It is an hour long Google Tech Talk from 2007. We take for granted now in Google Earth 6.0, you can see buildings & 3D objects generated automatically from satellite pictures taken from different angles. The satellite was in motion while taking the pictures, which produce parallax. I watched another Google Tech Talk on capturing 3D motions, but I forgot the title of the piece. Will let you know if I bump into it again.

@TheLuotutin Watch my recent video on "virtual sightseeing". It shows how 3D model of cities are constructed from aerial photographs. The results are stunning.
LOL she at SCOTIABANK movie theatre downtown toronto i use to work here 8 yrs ago and this is a usual laser show before any IMAX movie starts and its amazing tall screen and sound effect good job gal
@navylaks2 Forget about IMAX Dome. Dome shaped projection screen is only good for planetarium to show a simulated starry night sky. When a flat movie is projected on a spherical surface, the image is all distorted and weird. I refuse to watch any movie in an Omnimax theaters even if it is free.
Only downside to IMAX 3D is if you roll you’re head shoulder to shoulder the 3D is no longer IMAX 3D! Now if you look up and down and side to side the image stays as IMAX 3D on the screen.
Only Dolby3D stays 3D on all angles even doing a headstand the image stays as Dolby3D so Dolby wins IMAX fails!
@EmpireLS56KW That is true. Most new 3D systems like Dolby3D, Disney 3D and Real-D are based on the same design which uses circular polarization, (clockwise vs anti-clockwise). IMAX 3D are few decades old which uses linear polarization (vertical vs horizonal), tilting your head will mis-align the linear polarization but not to circular polarization.
@cplai I was naturally curious about how IMAX 3D worked when it played at Sheridan Bournemouth seafront that is now closed because their management or IMAX went queer and stopped sending new 70mm prints and all that was shown was the same boring IMAX 70mm sigh. The town got feed up with IMAX and wanted them out! I’m glad their gone now. The manager even said they were planning to do regular70mm like Blade Runner. Bullshit!
@EmpireLS56KW Since IMAX is pushing their IMAX 3D digital systems, they might have starved the theaters who depends on the IMAX on film rolls. If they don't have money to upgrade to digital projection, they are doomed. I agree with you, it is good riddance.
@cplai As to the IMAX 3D I sussed it out how it worked first viewing I saw their and thought it was rather odd when the IMAX 3D came undone as IMAX 3D if I rolled my head shoulder to shoulder. I don’t know hyper physics, but I do know when it’s a load of rubbish. Also the filters glasses cut down the real light level so what’s the point of 3D! I’d sooner be content with 2D and see the max light level on the screen! That is what I’m paying for! If I want sunglasses I’d use them outside!
@EmpireLS56KW The theater is supposed to increase the brightness for 3D projection. so the sunglasses effect should be be a problem if everything is done right.
@cplai Yeah, yeah, I know where you’re going with this and it still doesn’t work. They might as well make the glasses totally clear transparent not tinted and no I will never put in (contract 3D lenses) 3D glasses rubbish the frame gets in the way of the 3D action. I find myself removing them event few seconds because I’m distracted!
At least you don’t wind up with headaches anymore! Red and blue filters fail!
@EmpireLS56KW If you think about the physics of polarization, you will learn to live with the limitation. Light waves come in all orientation, a polarization filter will block either the vertical or horizontal component of the light wave, so in theory, the light passing through the filter is cut in half. But both two projections are 100% in their own polarization, the glasses let through 100% of what is aimed for each eye. So the tint only affect ambient light, not the film projection. cool?
@cplai I’m not as die hard for 3D IMAX anymore and I’ve seen the same film at least 4 or 5 times and several other short IMAX educational films as that is all they are short educational films. It was only Apollo13 that started all this getting films into the IMAX and I wasn’t even interested in going to London to see it as the Bournemouth IMAX as having big troubles, as the people of Bournemouth wanted IMAX out of the town! IMAX lied about re-opening at least 3 times, no don't care for LieMAX
@n9ne2006 What they weren’t giving them away. That’s what they usually do, you just have to watch out for tail-fur in the KFC bucket! Aligned my foot. 10 times the cost as well! Why regular 70mm had to retire because I prefer 70mm mag over Dolby digital something about mag analogue that sounds nice in a THX cinema.
@Freedomfoe07 Watch my other video on IMAX 3D projector. The film roll is huge and it lies flat horizontally. With 3D, 2 rolls of films are fed simultaneously, so the size of the film projector cannot get much smaller. But many IMAX theaters have gone digital, so strike all of above. The sad thing is that when they shrink the digital projector, they also shrink their movie screens. So the 80 foot tall screens shown in this video are becoming extinct soon.
@navylaks2 Omnimax or Imax dome is crap because of the concave projection surface. Projecting a flat movie on a curved surface will never give good results. Don't believe all the marketing hype. They can call it the best viewing experience all they want, the viewers can judge for themselves. The dome is only good as a planetarium.
@JohnMarsto2011 Because only the first part of the movie was made in 3D. I remember one of the Harry Potter movies was made with a few minutes of 3D and they sold it as a 3D movie. One of the Superman movies did the same. I heard that recently Clash of Titans was retrofitted with some 3D effect, i.e. a movie shot in 2D with fake 3D illusion added in Post Production stage. Many sources has confirmed that George Lucas is remastering the Star Wars saga into 3D. Stay tuned.
@JohnMarsto2011 Confused by your question. Legend of the Guardians (the owl cartoon) is a 3D movie. Whether they show in IMAX or not is a different question. I don't know the answer. The movie is already out on BluRay 3D. So if you have a 3D TV at home, you can watch it at home in 3D.
@punisher77212 One word, BIG! The original IMAX system used 80 feet tall screen. Recently many IMAX screens are only as big as regular screen. In order to project to 80 feet tall screen, the film needs to be in big format. If you use regular film and enlarge the projection. The image will be very blurry because the small film does not have enough resolution. Image watching a big screen TV, regular NTSC and HDTV makes a big difference. But on a tiny TV, HD or not really look the same.
@punisher77212 a regular theater is about 20 feet tall kind of big and an regular IMAX theater is 80 feet tall that kind of BIG. When a screen is 4 times as tall, the total project surface is 16 times bigger. A tiny spot on the film would become 16 times as big on an IMAX screen. How can I make this simpler? The math could only make it more complicated.
@punisher77212 Remember in the old days, cinemas used 70mm film for cinemascope movie projection that was really really wide-screen, like 2.66:1 aspect ratio. Imagine on a roll of film 70mm wide, the images are recorded one frame on top of the other. So the film rolls from top to bottom. In IMAX, the same roll of film is turned sideway. ... more to come ...
@punisher77212 ... Each IMAX frame is recorded next to the other. i.e. the width of the film roll is used for the height of the frame. Hence a frame can take up more length on the film. Imagine consecutive wide frames are lined up horizontally. Hence, more film surface is used to record each frame of the movie. With high precision optics, extremely high res image is recorded on same roll of film compared to the top to bottom arrangement. The high res image can be enlarged on huge screen.
@therealkissshow The older 80 feet tall screen really could completely fill your field of vision. Depending what is shown on the screen, you may feel more immersed. You have to judge for yourself. However, newer, recent IMAX theaters do not use the same kind of huge screens anymore.
Here is a slightly unusual use for the IMAX (linear poalrity) glasses - Polarized origami - that is folding birefringent plastic (such as cellophane) into layers that change colors when rotated between polarized lenses or filters. To see an example - view the videos by Firstfold
@1Jonman1 Read the discussion in comment section. Not everyone can perceive 3D for various reasons. People who has no depth perception cannot enjoy 3D movies. You may be wearing the 3D glasses that are NOT compatible with the projection system. e.g. real D 3D glass cannot be used with IMAX 3D projection.
@njs43 Nah don't need glasses or contacts, anyway went to see toy story 3D at imax an it worked unbelievably! I think 3D has just improved loads since the last 3D movie I watched.
why is it that circular polarized 3d glasses are only taking effect on reald? and why imax 3d uses linear polarized 3d glasses instead of the circular so that even if the viewers tilt their head a little, the 3d quality will not change. haha (i'm just curious)
@MrAnonymous2525 I personally don't know the physics behind the circular polarizer. But I've talked to a friend who is good in science. He said that the projected light is polarized linearly first and then pass thru a circulizer. He thinks RealD is a more advanced system. The projection filters would be more expensive to make. IMAX 3D has been around for decades, so they just stay put. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
@MrAnonymous2525 A more direct answer is that the glasses have to match how the light is altered by the filters at the movie projector. If the technologies mismatch, you don't see the 3D effect. e.g. most 3D TV display the left/right images in alternating frames, the glasses uses electronic shutters to block your eyes in an alternating cycle to synchronize with the TV screen refresh rate. Some high-end TVs refresh at 240 frames per second, so your eyes don't sense the flickering at all.
Not everyone is capable of enjoying 3D movie. especially if there is equipment failure, the experience can be ruined. Just save a few bucks next time, the 2D version is always cheaper.
just watched Avatar in IMAX. even though i live in Canada for 17 years, it's the first time i went to IMAX. first impression is the huge screen, and later is the picture quality. worth the admission!
If you asked me 10 years ago, I would say IMAX had the size advantage. Now, I am not too sure because new IMAX screens are much smaller. IMAX also uses very good sound system too, but I don't know how it compares with THX in most modern theaters. IMAX uses linear polarized glasses, i.e. if you tilt your head the 3D effect will go bad. Real-D theaters uses circular polarization which has no such problem.
I can't believe I'm going to see Eclipse in 3D!! I've never seen movies in 3D before. I must admit, it does look pretty good though. I'm nervous, lol!
@anfasa1998 because of the massive screen, massive sound, and awesome 3d she thinks that she is IN the movie and after she saw the trailer she said it would look creepy in IMAX 3D, she could only imagine the cheshire cat and all the other scary/creepy stuff coming toward her like its actually happening
I’m not even interested in 3D bluray or TV not if I had £10million! Because it doesn’t go all the way around the room from sidewall to sidewall to rear wall to ceiling and floor that’s 3D! All I’m looking at is front foal image that has depth, nothing more and nothing less, than the same ole thing.
@EmpireLS56KW I get your point. You are saying the immersion experience is more important than the depth perception. In fact the original non-3D IMAX gives you part of the immersion experience by using a 80+ feet tall screen to fill all your peripheral vision. Nowadays, IMAX theaters are even smaller than regular theaters from the 70s. When tiny screens in multiplex cinemas become the norm, IMAX lowered its standards and go for depth perception in lieu of immersion. A few huge screens remain.
@cplai I prefer standard 2D if filmed nicely and it doesn’t take a 180IQ to suss out depth of field. I find Grand Canyon in 2D breath taking and it looks like 3D on those huge screens with a slight curved depth and when sat in front row WOW magnificent. But 3D fail. It makes you reach out and in real life we just don’t do that. Not unless you reach out to pick an object up, off a table. Also I don’t care to see another IMAX not after the hassle IMAX caused in my town, waste of money.
They where so far behind schedule when the complex was suppose to have opened in 1999. It took I think another 2 years and the building was unsightly and ugly! Everyone wanted it knocked down before it opened! I think a few IMAX in the UK have been closed down over a short few years of opening. The one in Bournemouth caused quit a stir. I was rooting for it that was until the management jerking the public around.
@cplai If they had only kept their end up and got the new IMAX prints in, and up and running then the public of Bournemouth wouldn’t have sure negative views on IMAX, they’d still be in business right now! I think all the equipment is still in the building under closed doors. IMAX always keeps bullshitting Bournemouth the plan to re-opening. I think 4 or more times and they been closed since 2005 I think?
@cplai If they had pushed HARD enough to get Apollo13 on their screen they might have just saved themselves from being evicted! Their IMAX Titanic was heading nose down and fast and they had no lifejackets to save themselves from disaster.
They weren’t raking in enough money for starters. And they need money to survive. So its been 5 years and most of the other attractions at the site have closed down. KFC is still serving food on the site.
@cplai Look at KFC VS IMAX! KFC has been around longer than IMAX! Their restaurant is smaller but they must serve more people that have been into the IMAX over its short ill-fated years. Now then! The KFC is literally next-door within feet of the IMAX and their still serving non-Rat KFC If they had rats running around they’d be shut down faster than IMAX and we have plenty of big juicy rats running around the town. lol
@cplai I don’t eat muck IMAX KFR these days. Last time I ate there was two maybe three years ago. And even still the IMAX was closed! Last IMAX film I saw I have the ticket not sure of the title but it was 2005 and next week I go down and find they have notice saying “refurbishing” I know straight out that was bullshit! This was new cinema that didn’t need refurbishment least many more years. The IMAX was always half full when I went their during summertime, around 40 or 45 people.
@cplai You know what I find strange? There is another KFC only 15 minutes walk away at the Lansdown. IMAX is on Bath road that same road that leads to the Lansdown KFC now why have two KFC within 1 or 2 minutes driving distance?
@kdu3142 No, they are the same polarized lens from 50 years ago. Watch this video carefully, these glasses are same color too. The red and blue glasses are little older and used for TV because TVs don't have a polarized screen. Recently they use circular polarization instead of linear polarization. Think of the polarized lights as the bolts that need to screw through the nuts (the filter lens), now get a left turning bolt and a right turning bolt for left and right eye, hence two images.
@kdu3142 they poleryse the light in the image so the lefth image light goes up ans dow and the right goes leth and rigth the the glass filter the image with poleryse filter you can test it on a lcd tv
Jag har för mig att dom visade Avatar där. Men du har rätt, som visar ju aldrig "vanliga" filer där. Tycker det är konstigt med tanke på hur bra det skulle bli.
Pretty weird, thinking about that colossal screen and then comparing it to the screen of my netbook, which is only slightly bigger than my hand, my hand being bigger than the YouTube screen. Of course, I will never get this opportunity...
hay anybody, can you only watch this imax movies with the experience there are proposing on the cinema? i mean can't you just buy the glasses an watch it home?
No, you cannot get the same 3D effect at home. The 3D illusion is created by the combination of the projection technology, the polarized glasses, your eyes' depth perception. Missing any, you will not see the 3D effect. Movie makers now depend on 3D to draw the crowds away from their own Home theater system back to the cinema. Until the 3D TVs become available, you have to buy the tickets. Look up 3D TVs on Youtube and learn more about the future.
What if you had a tv that could operate at sufficient frames per second to alternate left polarised and right polarised frames while still going fast enough for it to be seen as a film rather than a series of slides? surely this combined with the glasses + your eyes would be sufficient, if they released dvds/etc that alternated frames at a fast rate?
How do you project two different polarized frames from a TV? Some options. Dual projectors with different filters in front of each projection lens. That is exactly what Digital IMAX 3D doing in cinemas. It is possible that some company can produce a scaled down digital IMAX 3D projector for the rich people's home theaters. Don't expect the price to be affordable soon. Current Digital IMAX movie are delivered in High Disks, not film.
(in anticipation of avatar) - is it generally a good idea to sit in the middle of the seating area? at the top? bottom? I wanna get the best experience/seat possible
@gearboxhpc We're talking true IMAX here, not minIMAX, right? If this is the true IMAX (80' screen), you'll usually want to sit in the very back row, where your eyesight will hit the very middle of the screen, and the screen will *just* fill your peripheral vision. Unless you like sitting with your neck craning up, but you don't seriously have your monitor like that, do you? :-)
I've never seen the screen, its at a local amc so I'll find out then. I would like to believe that it will be less than 80', but the general idea is to get myself into a position where the screen is filling my field of view, correct? thanks for being helpful btw
My experience is that the IMAX theaters popping out recently in the past two years are much less impressive in size than what IMAX used to be. I don't know what defines IMAX anymore. They used to have less than one IMAX screen per city because a 80' tall screen takes a 8 story tall bulding to house. Nowadays, every theater claims to have IMAX. Don't expect to see the same size screen shown in this clip.
Sorry to hear of your strabismus. Your brain has already shut out the depth perception from the real world, no 3D movies in the world can reproduce the depth illusion for you when your brain only process one image at a time. One of my kids started to develop lazy eyes at 3, I read quite a bit about it and learned that the eyes alignment must be fixed before the age of 5 or else the condition becomes permanent. We let her have eye surgery and her vision is normal now.
Glad that you noticed your kid's situation early. Nowadays more parents and most primary care providers catch it early, but back in the day I was 9 before anyone cottoned on. 3 botched surgeries later my eye muscles were a mess, and only after a star surgeon got to me did my eyes g
Today, I was at IMAX 3D cinema for the first time of my life. It's amazing! From now I'm watching movies only in 3D or if I'll get lucky in IMAX 3D. :D

@cplai As to the IMAX 3D I sussed it out how it worked first viewing I saw their and thought it was rather odd when the IMAX 3D came undone as IMAX 3D if I rolled my head shoulder to shoulder. I don’t know hyper physics, but I do know when it’s a load of rubbish. Also the filters glasses cut down the real light level so what’s the point of 3D! I’d sooner be content with 2D and see the max light level on the screen! That is what I’m paying for! If I want sunglasses I’d use them outside!
EmpireLS56KW 1 year ago
@EmpireLS56KW The theater is supposed to increase the brightness for 3D projection. so the sunglasses effect should be be a problem if everything is done right.

@cplai Yeah, yeah, I know where you’re going with this and it still doesn’t work. They might as well make the glasses totally clear transparent not tinted and no I will never put in (contract 3D lenses) 3D glasses rubbish the frame gets in the way of the 3D action. I find myself removing them event few seconds because I’m distracted!
At least you don’t wind up with headaches anymore! Red and blue filters fail!
EmpireLS56KW 1 year ago
@EmpireLS56KW If you think about the physics of polarization, you will learn to live with the limitation. Light waves come in all orientation, a polarization filter will block either the vertical or horizontal component of the light wave, so in theory, the light passing through the filter is cut in half. But both two projections are 100% in their own polarization, the glasses let through 100% of what is aimed for each eye. So the tint only affect ambient light, not the film projection. cool?

@cplai I’m not as die hard for 3D IMAX anymore and I’ve seen the same film at least 4 or 5 times and several other short IMAX educational films as that is all they are short educational films.

@Freedomfoe07 Watch my other video on IMAX 3D projector. The film roll is huge and it lies flat horizontally. With 3D, 2 rolls of films are fed simultaneously, so the size of the film projector cannot get much smaller. But many IMAX theaters have gone digital, so strike all of above. The sad thing is that when they shrink the digital projector, they also shrink their movie screens. So the 80 foot tall screens shown in this video are becoming extinct soon.

Isn't Omnimax or Imax dome as it's also called the best viewing experience
navylaks2 1 year ago
@navylaks2 Omnimax or Imax dome is crap because of the concave projection surface. Projecting a flat movie on a curved surface will never give good results. Don't believe all the marketing hype. They can call it the best viewing experience all they want, the viewers can judge for themselves. The dome is only good as a planetarium.

JohnMarsto2011 1 year ago
@JohnMarsto2011 Because only the first part of the movie was made in 3D. I remember one of the Harry Potter movies was made with a few minutes of 3D and they sold it as a 3D movie. One of the Superman movies did the same. I heard that recently Clash of Titans was retrofitted with some 3D effect, i.e. a movie shot in 2D with fake 3D illusion added in Post Production stage. Many sources has confirmed that George Lucas is remastering the Star Wars saga into 3D. Stay tuned.

punisher77212 1 year ago
@punisher77212 One word, BIG! The original IMAX system used 80 feet tall screen. Recently many IMAX screens are only as big as regular screen. In order to project to 80 feet tall screen, the film needs to be in big format. If you use regular film and enlarge the projection. The image will be very blurry because the small film does not have enough resolution. Image watching a big screen TV, regular NTSC and HDTV makes a big difference. But on a tiny TV, HD or not really look the same.
cplai 1 year ago
@cplai a regular theater is BIG can u speak in kinda simple english
punisher77212 1 year ago
@punisher77212 a regular theater is about 20 feet tall kind of big and an regular IMAX theater is 80 feet tall that kind of BIG. When a screen is 4 times as tall, the total project surface is 16 times bigger. A tiny spot on the film would become 16 times as big on an IMAX screen. How can I make this simpler? The math could only make it more complicated.
cplai 1 year ago
@punisher77212 Remember in the old days, cinemas used 70mm film for cinemascope movie projection that was really really wide-screen, like 2.66:1 aspect ratio. Imagine on a roll of film 70mm wide, the images are recorded one frame on top of the other. So the film rolls from top to bottom. In IMAX, the same roll of film is turned sideway. ... more to come ...
cplai 1 year ago
@punisher77212 ... Each IMAX frame is recorded next to the other. i.e. the width of the film roll is used for the height of the frame. Hence a frame can take up more length on the film. Imagine consecutive wide frames are lined up horizontally. Hence, more film surface is used to record each frame of the movie. With high precision optics, extremely high res image is recorded on same roll of film compared to the top to bottom arrangement. The high res image can be enlarged on huge screen.

why is it that circular polarized 3d glasses are only taking effect on reald? and why imax 3d uses linear polarized 3d glasses instead of the circular so that even if the viewers tilt their head a little, the 3d quality will not change. haha (i'm just curious)
MrAnonymous2525 1 year ago
@MrAnonymous2525 I personally don't know the physics behind the circular polarizer. But I've talked to a friend who is good in science. He said that the projected light is polarized linearly first and then pass thru a circulizer. He thinks RealD is a more advanced system. The projection filters would be more expensive to make. IMAX 3D has been around for decades, so they just stay put. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
cplai 1 year ago
@MrAnonymous2525 A more direct answer is that the glasses have to match how the light is altered by the filters at the movie projector. If the technologies mismatch, you don't see the 3D effect. e.g. most 3D TV display the left/right images in alternating frames, the glasses uses electronic shutters to block your eyes in an alternating cycle to synchronize with the TV screen refresh rate. Some high-end TVs refresh at 240 frames per second, so your eyes don't sense the flickering at all.

If you asked me 10 years ago, I would say IMAX had the size advantage. Now, I am not too sure because new IMAX screens are much smaller. IMAX also uses very good sound system too, but I don't know how it compares with THX in most modern theaters. IMAX uses linear polarized glasses, i.e. if you tilt your head the 3D effect will go bad. Real-D theaters uses circular polarization which has no such problem.

EmpireLS56KW 1 year ago
@EmpireLS56KW I get your point. You are saying the immersion experience is more important than the depth perception. In fact the original non-3D IMAX gives you part of the immersion experience by using a 80+ feet tall screen to fill all your peripheral vision. Nowadays, IMAX theaters are even smaller than regular theaters from the 70s. When tiny screens in multiplex cinemas become the norm, IMAX lowered its standards and go for depth perception in lieu of immersion. A few huge screens remain.
cplai 1 year ago
@cplai I prefer standard 2D if filmed nicely and it doesn’t take a 180IQ to suss out depth of field. I find Grand Canyon in 2D breath taking and it looks like 3D on those huge screens with a slight curved depth and when sat in front row WOW magnificent. But 3D fail. It makes you reach out and in real life we just don’t do that. Not unless you reach out to pick an object up, off a table. Also I don’t care to see another IMAX not after the hassle IMAX caused in my town, waste of money.

They where so far behind schedule when the complex was suppose to have opened in 1999. It took I think another 2 years and the building was unsightly and ugly! Everyone wanted it knocked down before it opened! I think a few IMAX in the UK have been closed down over a short few years of opening. The one in Bournemouth caused quit a stir. I was rooting for it that was until the management jerking the public around.

@cplai If they had only kept their end up and got the new IMAX prints in, and up and running then the public of Bournemouth wouldn’t have sure negative views on IMAX, they’d still be in business right now!

I think 4 or more times and they been closed since 2005 I think?

@kdu3142 No, they are the same polarized lens from 50 years ago. Watch this video carefully, these glasses are same color too. The red and blue glasses are little older and used for TV because TVs don't have a polarized screen. Recently they use circular polarization instead of linear polarization. Think of the polarized lights as the bolts that need to screw through the nuts (the filter lens), now get a left turning bolt and a right turning bolt for left and right eye, hence two images.

hyshyco 2 years ago
No, you cannot get the same 3D effect at home. The 3D illusion is created by the combination of the projection technology, the polarized glasses, your eyes' depth perception. Missing any, you will not see the 3D effect. Movie makers now depend on 3D to draw the crowds away from their own Home theater system back to the cinema. Until the 3D TVs become available, you have to buy the tickets. Look up 3D TVs on Youtube and learn more about the future.
cplai 2 years ago
What if you had a tv that could operate at sufficient frames per second to alternate left polarised and right polarised frames while still going fast enough for it to be seen as a film rather than a series of slides? surely this combined with the glasses + your eyes would be sufficient, if they released dvds/etc that alternated frames at a fast rate?
notsarahnz 2 years ago
How do you project two different polarized frames from a TV? Some options. Dual projectors with different filters in front of each projection lens. That is exactly what Digital IMAX 3D doing in cinemas. It is possible that some company can produce a scaled down digital IMAX 3D projector for the rich people's home theaters. Don't expect the price to be affordable soon. Current Digital IMAX movie are delivered in High Disks, not film.

My experience is that the IMAX theaters popping out recently in the past two years are much less impressive in size than what IMAX used to be. I don't know what defines IMAX anymore. They used to have less than one IMAX screen per city because a 80' tall screen takes a 8 story tall bulding to house. Nowadays, every theater claims to have IMAX. Don't expect to see the same size screen shown in this clip.

Sorry to hear of your strabismus. Your brain has already shut out the depth perception from the real world, no 3D movies in the world can reproduce the depth illusion for you when your brain only process one image at a time.

We let her have eye surgery and her vision is normal now.
