IMAX with Laser in Singapore
145 screenings across 5 cinemas.
What is IMAX with Laser, and is it worth it?
IMAX is a large-format projection and sound system: a taller, wider screen than a standard house, a higher-resolution image, and a sound system tuned to the specific room. The screen reaches closer to the edges of your vision, which is the whole point — it is about how much of the frame surrounds you, not just how big the picture is.
It is worth the premium on films actually shot or finished for it — large-scale action, science fiction, natural-history documentary — where the extra frame height is used. On a dialogue-driven drama you are paying for screen area the film never fills.
