Cinema is no longer just about watching a film on a screen it’s an immersive journey where sight and sound merge to pull viewers into another world. With IMAX technology, the difference between a regular screening and a fully lived experience becomes clear, revealing layers of detail that capture every sense.

Wider Visual Space

Wider Visual Space

In IMAX theatres, scenes can open up to display as much as 26% more of the full image compared to standard screens. This wider frame reveals edges and depth often cut out in traditional formats, creating the feeling that viewers are stepping inside the movie rather than watching from outside.

Unique Aspect Ratio

While most cinemas use the 2.39:1 ratio, which stretches scenes wider but shorter, certain IMAX halls employ the classic 1.43:1 ratio. This taller frame captures everything from ground to sky, making battle sequences, landscapes, and large-scale visuals more immersive. It’s this completeness that gives audiences the sense of realism and depth that standard formats can’t match.

Technology Behind the Image

IMAX uses a dual 4K laser projection system precisely calibrated to each auditorium. This setup ensures sharpness, balanced colors, and consistent contrast across massive screens. The result is a crystal-clear image that maintains integrity no matter how big the scale, so every detail looks exactly as intended.

The appeal of IMAX goes far beyond bigger frames. It combines surround sound, unmatched clarity, and expanded visuals to create a full-body experience. For fans of action or sci-fi films, IMAX delivers the director’s true vision enveloping viewers in the story and amplifying every moment into something unforgettable.
