Watching movies in 3d today has become a very familiar thing. Very often, the viewer can hear in advertising that the film can be watched in 3d and in imax 3d. And at this moment he has a question: what is the difference between these two formats?
Instruction manual
1
3D-format involves the use of a single projector to transfer pictures to the screen. Plus, dolby sound service technology is added. It is she who gives surround sound when watching a film. As for imax 3d technology, it assumes the presence of 2 projectors that broadcast a picture on the screen. This, in turn, significantly improves the quality of the picture, helps it become even more voluminous and vibrant.

The second difference between these formats is the size of the hall and the screen itself. In imax 3d, the hall is usually more than 15 meters wide and 20 meters long. In 3d, the size of the hall does not exceed 10 m in length and 8 m in width. Accordingly, the screen in imax 3d is an order of magnitude wider than in just 3d, so the picture will be more detailed and roomy. Plus, it is located from wall to wall, which turns the screen into a full-scale panorama. In addition, in imax 3d it is curved, and this helps to achieve additional volume when viewing.

The technology for making a film in one format or another also differs. After all, directors must take into account the features of both of them. Therefore, in imax 3d, the viewer has more opportunities to feel almost "inside" the film.

Sound design is also different. In ordinary 3d, the sound is more directional. Technology suggests volume, but sometimes it may seem as if the sound lives a separate life. In imax 3d this will not happen to you. Here you don’t even have time to focus on where the sound comes from. After all, the technology of arrangement of installations is such that the sound comes directly from within the film.

Also, you cannot help but notice the difference in ticket prices. The price for watching a movie in imax 3d is an order of magnitude higher than just in 3d - about 2-2.5 times.
Useful advice
If you want to understand the difference, go to the same movie in both formats. Only in this way you can find out how they really differ from each other.
