    I remember seeing a documentary on the planet earth at a Sydney imax cinema back in 1998 with my school that was my first imax experience and recently Dune in Queensland in Dolby atmos and in 4K

    Went there last week to see Twisters with a friend from Ashford and was impressed. I live in Crawley now and weve got an IMAX at Cineworld here. Its not as a good a spec as Ashford though. Ours is a 2x2K Xenon Lamp Projection system, Ashford has dual laser so the picture is way brighter and sharper, our sound is 6 channel and Ashford is 12 channel... and boy does that shake!

      Yeah Ashfords IMAX blows me away everytime. The bass in Deadpool and Wolverine was insane I thought I was gonna get thrown out of my chair lol. Apparently the new Alien Romulus film is being shown in proper IMAX ratio that’ll be an experience

    Fantastic video, as always! Yes, i went to see Top Gun Maverick on my first viewing at Cineworld in 4DX and i can say that it was a fun experience, the seats do throw you about quite a lot but it's fun for a film like that. I can also say that i do click in at almost 18 stone, well over the restriction. At my cinema i never got questioned about it, there was no discomfort in the seat and i can not see why there would be for anyone really.

    I had a 2 screen in Ewell which was amazing then a 6 screen in Sutton and a 9 screen in guildford which replaced the classic 4 screen that was there. then an 8 screen in epsom.
    Now a new 6 screen coming soon within walking distance to where I now live. Imax has always been a London visit. ❤️👀👌🤔😳👍👍👍

    Great video Big Pauly! I saw Top Gun Maverick in 4DX here in Texas. I traveled 3 1/2 hours to another city just to see the movie. I will say it was an amazing experience and perfect for the kind of movie it was. I highly recommend it. 👌🏼

    Great reaction, my 1st experience of imax was the dark Knight, the screen x works similar to imax in the way that the side bits aren't on all the time if that makes sense

    • @BigPauly
      @BigPauly  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought the ScreenX shows the film all down the sides for the whole film. That would be quite distracting if it just pops on during the film

    I’m spoiled in California, I have the Equire IMAX in Sacramento, another IMAX in Dublin, CA, and a massive 75foot tall by 97foot wide IMAX screen in San Francisco, and these are real IMAX theaters, not lieMax. Only thing that makes IMAX movies better in California is smoking a doobie before the movie.

    I've been to a IMAX theater like 25 years ago. My personal experience: TO BIG!!! I guess a lot of other viewers shared my opinion as our IMAX theater closed in 2006 ... I don't miss it at all!
    But if you enjoyed it: Yeah, I am happy for you! :-)

    I liked imax when I saw strange 2 in it, but imo it’s worth it when it’s like a £5 upcharge which it is when compared to cineworld normal prices, but compared to Vue when it’s about 4x as much as Vue it’s not worth it

    Looks like a really nice cinema. I use to watch most films in IMAX especially if they are made for IMAX.
    I think Showcase at Bluewater have removed the IMAX for some reason.

    So glad you enjoyed your first IMAX film. Really surprised you’ve not done it before. If a film is available in IMAX I will go it is incredible. I’ve said it before but out of the big cinema chains Cineworld do it the best and especially IMAX as they have to be calibrated by IMAX technicians.
