IMAX and Vue-Xtreme are available, however, and I have seen both. We referred to Dolby Cinema chairs as the “first-class” of theaters because they are. However, by the end of 2015, AMC removed Prime and other movie formats as AMC’s premium offering. I noticed that my local Showcase has installed what they call an XPlus screen. If there’s a theater near you with a premium offering, it’ll most likely be IMAX. What would be the difference anyway between XPlus / IMAX . IMAX even optimized the audio for every seat, so you don’t have to look for the best spot. We’ve all heard about Dolby, but it’s most likely because of their unparalleled sound expertise. The reclining chairs with transducers add a nice touch to the overall experience that IMAX can’t compete with. On the other hand, IMAX uses its technology to display movies with a taller aspect ratio at 1.90:1. Both formats can provide moviegoers with an immersive experience that is never possible with standard or digital formats. It's really just IMAX under a different name. XPlus ticket prices are the same, whether the film is 2D or 3D. If you see a movie shot with IMAX cameras or want to watch a 3D movie, go to an IMAX theater. Although I do like the seats in the IMAX screen at Cineworld the rest aren't that comfy. That would make it similar to Vue-Xtreme (which also uses Sony 4K projection and Dolby Atmos), except that the screen is curved - er, like IMAX. Image format and availability are other huge factors that we have to consider. You must log in or register to reply here. This website uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb. I can't remember the screen number, but then i'm sure that they only have a single Xplus screen. 4 Ways to Connect a Soundbar to TV Without HDMI or Optical, 4 DIY Projector Screen Types (Paint, Fabric, Frame & Stand), 4 times the resolution of standard or digital format, 3 times the resolution of standard or digital format. Review of Showcase Cinemas. The sound was better though. ALL the screens are XPlus and have seats that recline, so much more comfortable. Every IMAX theater has a different sound setup, custom-built to adapt to the varying factors that can affect sound quality. It’s so powerful that you can track a flying bird, across the room, just from the sounds that it creates! Although it will likely be the ideal seating area, EVERY moron who is intent on talking through the film always seems to head towards the back. You can also recline it according to your liking, which isn’t a feature available for IMAX. which added £4.50 PER PERSON!!! Mike45450 Novice Member. But other than that, everything else will look and sound better in Dolby Cinema. Dolby Cinema is a lot better than IMAX when viewing movies shot with traditional cameras.

I couldn't prebook the seating so it will be a get there and fight for the best seats! Dolby Cinema is excellent and better than IMAX in a lot of ways. We need to compare the image format, the actual movie-watching experience, and the availability of both. And it's a damn sight cheaper. But to make it easier for you to digest, let’s break it down to the parts that make up the premium movie format that we see.

Dolby Cinema and IMAX are two of the most popular movie formats that we see in theaters today. Instead of a laser or traditional lamp projector, Dolby Vision uses dual 4k laser projectors to display movies that follow Dolby’s specific, high dynamic range. I genuinely felt the overall experience of a screen that big compared to my last Imax outing. Dolby Atmos is a sound format that Dolby Laboratories released in 2012 to take the theaters’ sound systems to a whole new level. I honestly had to put my fingers in my ears more than once! Xplus is a rip off. It provides the viewers with the ability to hear audio from 5 in-screen speakers, 48 surround speakers, and four subwoofers. But even that only has three times more resolution than standard movie formats. However, Dolby Cinema at AMC isn’t as simple as putting together everything and calling it a day. Most theaters usually have a screen of 15 to 50 feet (4.6 to 15.2 meters) high. But how do these two movie behemoths stack up against each other? Being a company that specializes in audio, Dolby is an obvious winner with their Dolby Atmos technology. However, instead of having the speakers around the room, Dolby added more speakers above the viewers to envelope them with everything that is happening on screen. This position makes it possible for viewers to pay less attention to the edges of the screen and just focus on the movie. Which one is better for watching movies: Dolby Cinema or IMAX? That’s because these two, according to critics, provide the best movie-watching experience that we can get. Atmos is already impressive as it is, but Dolby Cinema at AMC even upgraded it by installing transducers within the seats. It’s the company responsible for refining sound systems from Dolby Stereo up until the monumental leap that brought life to Dolby Atmos. The films that IMAX cameras produce are so good that the only reason movies don’t use this setup is because it’s a lot heavier than most cameras with less mounting options.
