IMAX cinemas & showtimes in Singapore

What is IMAX, 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.

5 cinemas in Singapore currently run IMAX, with 126 screenings of 3 movies over the next week.

Cinemas with IMAX: Shaw Theatres Jem, Shaw Theatres Jewel, Shaw Theatres Lido, Shaw Theatres Paya Lebar Quarter, Shaw Theatres Waterway Point.

Showing in IMAX this week: Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame Encore *, The Odyssey, Resident Evil *.

Compared with the other formats

Singapore also runs IMAX with Laser, Dolby Atmos, Premiere / Director's Club, Gold Class, GVmax, Lumière, Shaw Dreamers. Each sells something different — some the picture, some the sound, some the seat — and each has its own explainer and current screenings.
