- A 2020 UPDATE is on its way with exclusive quotes from Dolby Labs themselves!
In this video I explain what Dolby Cinema is and what separates it from the rest of the premium movie going options out there. Below are some links to additional videos I've made explaining other topics including what IMAX is and what Dolby Vision is (Dolby's version of HDR). There are also some links to official press releases by Dolby Laboratories and AMC Entertainment regarding the expansion of Dolby Cinemas around the world. Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook @movieuniversitycentral Hopefully at the end of this video I will have answered the questions of dolby cinema vs imax, what makes dolby cinema better and why is dolby cinema good.

great video... nice work keep up
Thank you!
I'm a simple man, I see someone using Bing - I throw up
That turned dark real quick.
I'm a simple man. I like lollipops in my mouth and butter in my ass. -scene from Boogie Nights
I work at an AMC and have spent a lot of time in our dolby theater. The dolby theater is by far our most popular and I personal think it's the best way to see a horror/action movie (comedies, romance, etc. look good but theres no reason to see it in such high def). I also agree with many of the things in the video. The only thing he got wrong was the projection hallway. Not all dolby cinemas have that.
How long have you worked with AMC
@@MovieUniversity why does that matter, you lied
What a stupid comment.
It is only 4k and the resolution is not that high to be honest.
@@bighands69Do you know what resolution is?
100% ITS INCREDIBLE
I just been to a Dolby Cinema movie theater last night for the first time and I was blown away. Picture and sound quality was superb. I watched Black Adam (2nd, time) from the 4DX version (1st time).
I'm a fan of 4DX because it "keeps me awake" due to movement, but it does shake your popcorn all over the place. On the other hand Dolby Cinema keeps the classic movie experience, but with high quality cinema and audio experience. And your snacks stay put. Dolby Cinema keeps you emotionally in tuned to the movie with the awesome audio.
I'm looking forward on going to another movie with the feature of Dolby Cinema in the near future. 😁🙌🏽
Glad you had the experience! 😃
The 1st Dolby Cinema has just opened in London at the odeon Leicester Sq it looks amazing until you see the ticket prices
I saw Alita Battle Angel in Dolby 3D, so gooooooddddd!!!!
James Cameron is one of the few film producers (not the director on this film) that core understands how to produce natural perspective 3D cinematography experiences with deep artistic angles in Native 3D , most other producers convert 2D native content over to the format and have not done there homework making there films visual cognitive stressful to watch ,, I will also leverage that cinema owners not adhering to 3D film presentation standards are in large part to blame for the formats decline. There is technology developed by Dolby that Enables Glasses less 3D.
Can you do “what is imax with laser?” Keep up the great work I love your videos!
Got my tickets to see endgame in Dolby can’t wait!
Gus Lopez same!!!!
sry for my english i am french. Avengers better to see in IMAX :/ the movie filmed for IMAX format ( +33% screen) but i agree dolby cinema it's better for me
Spraylon Spraylone yea I’m going the following week to see in imax! I prefer Dolby but for the reason you said I gotta see it in imax too
I first experienced Dolby Cinema when Alita: Battle Angel came out and I now only watch movies in Dolby. I did not know what it was at the time and I quickly looked it up and after the movie I was really impressed. I have always been into A/V whether it be in my car or home and now that Cinema is finally able to keep up and surpass homes again it makes me happy.
Yeah Batman in Dolby was insane! Felt like I was in the batmobile too!
Great overall video. Over here in Canada we don’t have Dolby Cinema as AMC went out of business here. We have AVX and IMAX. The good thing, most of the IMAX theatres have been renovated and they have Laser IMAX screens with new comfy seats as well. They all use Dolby Atmos for sound. Movies like Avengers: Infinity/EndGame, I would recommend in IMAX as they are fully shot with IMAX cameras. I do hope Dolby Cinema make their way to the Canadian market one day! Want to experience it badly!
Already bought my tickets for Dolby. Plus here in the U.S the seats for Imax are old and awful. Not good for a 3 hour movie.
List of IMAX theaters:
www.lfexaminer.com/theaUSA.htm
Look for listings with 1570 next to the name to see if it's a real true IMAX theater. If it doesn't have this then it's a LIEMAX theater.
no imax, fake imax avangers.
Saw Antman/Wasp movie in Dolby. Visuals were great but the sound...wickedly impressive!!
I agree. I saw with a theater equipped with Auro 11.1, which I believe to be superior to Dolby Atmos, and it sounded incredible.
I saw Jurassic World in a Dolby Cinema at Bluewater. Really enjoyed the experience. Atmos sound was something else.
Ive seen Rampage in Dolby. I know I've seen Fallen Kingdom but I don't remember if it was in Dolby or IMAX. The AMC Stubs site dosent save my ticket stubs like it used to. Dolby cost more then IMAX. its a completely different experience.
Darren Wells is it just sound? Or do the seat move as well?
Sad there no Dolby in canada, I wish they collaborat with IMAX screen
Can you imagine Dolby and imax make their own cinema
4:39-8:22 I do not hate 3D, I just hate that it had to become a marketing term and a gimmick.
Trust me, there are people that hate UHD 4K, and I bet most of them don't know the meaning of it.
I love watching movies in 3D, if the 3D is done right.
I freaking LOVE 3D. Sadly there are no 4K 3D Blu-ray discs (-__-)
Me too, brother I almost unsubscribed to his channel because he put it down like he did. He is entitled to his opinion but he shouldn't put something down just because he doesn't like it. If done right then IMAX 3D is an awesome experience. I really like watching both of the last Avengers movies in IMAX 3D, it was the bomb.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M what really sucks is all the Television companies have stopped making 3D TV's. I have two 3D TV's one's a Sony and the other is a LG. I hope they both last a long time because I'm not going to buy another TV until they bring back the 3D feature. At least the movie industry still releasing 3D blue rays ever once in a while. Hopefully one day 3D will return better then ever. At least that what I keep tell myself so that I don't get so bummed out about it.
@@randallcromer66 but 3D projectors are still being made for sale
9:12 I'd rather watch The Dark Knight AGAIN in true IMAX like you show here instead of Dolby Cinema because no matter how crappy IMAX seats are compared to Dolby Cinema seats, IMAX offers the best IMMERSION with an aspect ratio that Dolby Cinema theaters can't match.
Regardless, I regularly watch movies in both formats because I love both for different reasons.
Which has louder speakers? Dolby or imax?
@@JRBowling1997 I believe IMAX has louder but don't quote me on that.
I know at least some true IMAX theaters (not the fake LIEmax theaters) support Dolby Atmos sound systems.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M IMAX theaters do not use Dolby ATMOS sound systems. IMAX typically use 6 channel sound but have recently introduced a 12 channel system that includes additional side and ceiling speakers for a more immerssive experience similar to Dolby ATMOS.
Agreed on movie format and your last comment 😉
in Burbank we have both a REAL IMAX & Dolby Cinema. Burbank was one of the first few cities to get the Dolby Cinema upgrade back in 2014 when the ETX room got upgraded to AMC Prime which was partnered with Dolby. i got invited to the 1st opening when Godzilla released but then was rescheduled due to faulty equipment but i still saw Godzilla in IMAX which is great & i always prefer IMAX but only if its Specially Formatted or Filmed With IMAX Cameras, i dont do Optimized aka IMAX Port. anyways after the reschedule i was invited back for the opening of X-Men Days Of Future Past & i knew from that experience Dolby Cinema is the best Large Format compared to XD & others. since then i only see movies in Dolby Cinema for movies that arent Specially Formatted or Filmed with IMAX. so far this year ive seen Tomb Raider, A Quiet Place, Deadpool 2, The Incredibles 2 & Jurassic World 2 in Dolby Cinema & im happy with that
burbank doesn't have a real IMAX, Universal City has the REAL imax. 1570 / Digital Laser. So if you are seeing IMAX at Palm 16 thats fake although they do have the Dolby Cinema which is amazing.
saw Alita in Dolby Cinema 3d...the best... no image dimming... very bright...Dolby Cinema is state of the art
ME too yay! You will def got impressed by the details. YOu won’t even believe she’s a full CG character.
3:16 And thanks to up-firing speakers you can bring Atmos in the house with needing speakers above you. If your ceilings are low enough IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I had a building fall on me last night while I was watching RAMPAGE...
Dolby Atmos doesn't really work unless you have more than 10 speakers connected. Yes it's slightly better than Dolby digital 5.1. I can't wait til they make it easier to produce in homes.
Finally found someone who is frustrated by 3D & LieMax like me, Infact there is no true IMAX theaters in India. During a visit to L.A. I happen to watch 1917 in AMC-Dolby which totally blew me away, a cinema experience I would never forget. As a generation which witness Jurassic park in theatre this was a treat. I'm eagerly waiting for Dolby Cinema to enter India.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At my nearest AMC (AMC Tustin 14), there are separate screenings where one is Dolby Cinema and the other is specifically called AMC Prime. At around 5:50 you show the logo of "Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime" in this video. Is that a defunct slogan? What are the differences between a Dolby Cinema screening and an AMC Prime screening?
I'm curious too because by me AMC Empire 25 in NYC Manhattan has Dolby Cinema on the 3rd floor and AMC Prime on the 4th or 5th floor and only ONE time was a movie playing in Dolby Cinema 3D which I loved a lot (I forgot what movie lol).
I've never seen the Dolby Cinema screening (near me) ever show a movie in 3D, but often see the AMC Prime screening have Real D (3D) movies shown. Alita: Battle Angel was awesome in AMC Prime 3D
Hey do u also know a cinema called sterkinekor, can you also do a video on it?
Great video. I noticed that the 3 Dolby Cinemas at AMC that I have been to do not have that wall when you walk in. Trying to find info on that and I can’t. Do some have them and some don’t?
One of the few things the midwest can proudly proclaim is being on the cutting edge of theater technology. I live in Kansas City and with AMC being headquartered just a few miles away in Kansas. We've gotten pretty spoiled being some of the first to experience the new tech. I still can't ever decide if I want to see something in IMAX or Dolby Cinema. My only movie going stipulations now are having reserved and reclining seats. It's nice knowing you have a seat and can show up 15 minutes late if you don't care about any of the trailers.
Check to see if the IMAX is a real IMAX and not a digital IMAX. Secondly, checkout the updated video I did with Dolby in 2020 on my channel. I support Dolby Cinema over IMAX.
i have yet to see a DOBLY cinema film yet, that's going to change with ENDGAME. however, in regards to IMAX/IMAX 3D.... i love it. it's epic! personally, standard live action 3D does bite, but i view it in IMAX 3D it is bloody epic. then again, that's just me...
thanks for another informative segment...
Avengers endgame is filmed in imax cameras
@@Van_frederick i know it was,...i just never seen a film in Dobly Cinema. but i will with Endgame. thanks anyway.
Why 3d 🤦🏾♂️
I’m in Canada and I’m pretty glad to have true IMAX theatres in my city. Also, it’s always how the movie was shot that dictates the quality.
We have a AMC theaters here in El Paso texas but with no Dolby the seats are all black in one of the theaters tho like there was or hopefully is still plans to install a Dolby here fingers crossed
5:20 Showcase Cinemas and Regal Cinemas have good seats. Showcase also has some screens with vibrating seats.
Although Dolby and IMAX are rivals and competing for the same dollar, I enjoy both experiences equally, and wish them both success.
As do we all!
Check out the updated version of this video I did in 2020.
Since January 2019, I pretty much go to the movies almost every Saturday in NYC and I watch movies at 2 different AMC theaters (AMC Empire 25 and AMC Lincoln Square 13 both in Manhattan) which are only 30 minutes apart via walking. Both locations have Dolby Cinema but only one of the locations has TRUE IMAX. I pretty much watch any "big blockbuster" movie at least twice: once in TRUE IMAX and the other in Dolby Cinema. That way, I get to enjoy both experiences.
Which do you go to first? I saw Wakanda Forever in Dolby and the sound was amazing, I couldn't wait to go back, but ended up catching the last hour of the same movie in IMAX, and the picture was beautiful
I tried Dolby Cinema 3D in China, it isg the best 3D movie experience I ever had. They use proprietary 3D glasses which has silver tinted lenses and the image on screen is not darkened. I will only watch 3D in Dolby cinema from now on.
+ Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Amen 🙏!
Hi there! New subscriber here. The content has been quite entertaining! I just have a question. I'm planning to see Avengers: Endgame the week it comes out. Now, I'm close to both a Liemax (and a real Imax, Dome to boot, but that's a museum dome that I doubt would show an action movie like Avengers,) and a Dolby Cinema theater. I'm wondering... Which would you recommend, given that the movie is completely filmed with IMAX cameras? Thank you for the time.
dolby is still better
Hey Corey,
I'm currently doing a video about Endgame and IMAX. I'll feature your question and answer it in the video. Stay tuned! (sorry i took so long to see this!)
With A-List, I used to stick with IMAX. Not anymore. With Dolby, I get everything- comfortable seats, great sound, and amazing visuals.
And Vibrations in the seats I'm going to the spiderman movie!!!! For the first time in a dolby cinema!!! I'm so excited!!!
What is A list, do you get to see Dolby for cheaper?
The Dolby website will have the answer to your question.
@@booboo4ever24 A-List is probably AMC Stubs A-List, an AMC theater subscription program for about $20-$25/month that lets people watch 3 movies a week for free without an extra charge for premium formats.
Yea, I just learned about the whole LieMax thing. I never really cared about it because I had AMC's A-list, which enables me to watch 3 movies a week on any format I wanted with only $21 a month, $23 if you want to enable this membership in big cities such as NYC. So I always watch both Dolby and LieMAX at AMC. But recently due to personal financial reasons, I had to cancel my A-list membership because I can't afford it anymore, and will pay actual money to watch the movies. This made me finally think about which format is better, which led me to learn about the whole LieMax thing. I been to the LieMax theater in AMC Empire 25, the location in Time Square for those of you who is wondering, and honestly, I must say, that is the probably the nicest LieMax theater I had ever been to, there is leather seats with some slight degree of recline. But it is still LieMax.
I just brought a ticket to see Godzilla vs Kong in Dolby at the time of this comment, can't wait.
But if I were presented with a real IMAX screen, I probably would not watch it, this is purely due to the fact that I get motion sick easily, and with that big of a screen, forget it, not worth the trouble.
It is also interesting to note that Dolby 3D in AMC exists, I had been to a few screenings of Dolby 3D in an AMC theater in Hampton, Virginia. But this is VERY rare, and the 3D glasses used for those screenings are a rare sight by itself, it works differently than traditional 3D glasses used in normal screens and IMAX 3D.
Now, if we were to compare premium screen formats other than Dolby and LieMAX, here is my order, 4DX>ScreenX>Dolby>IMAX (Real)>LieMAX. I put 4DX on the top of the list because it is a format that I heard so much about, but never got the chance to been to one. C'mon, moving seats based on what is happening in the movie? That sounds like a real treat. ScreenX is the premium format that first started in South Korea I think, which has an extra screen on both side of your seat, so you get some more in depth story telling from those extra pictures.
One last thing, I personally owns a Samsung Q50R TV, which is a 32 inch QLED TV, they boasts that the picture this TV shows has at least 1 billion color gamut, has the accuracy of an OLED screen but without the burn-in issue. Now, going back to Dolby theaters. I can definitely say that Samsung were not kidding about this TV having accurate colors. I watched some of the movies I saw in Dolby theaters on this TV after it got a digital release at home, and the picture quality is pretty much the exact same thing as I first saw it in Dolby theater, did I mention that it also has 4K 60fps? So if you want to buy a small TV with accurate pictures, this is the one you should get, or you can get Samsung's QLED PC monitors, which has the same QLED technology, but also with higher refresh rate AND 4K, but be warned that a normal PC monitor do not have any speakers, while a full fledged TV has one.
Hi MU, I was wondering...do you know what kind of audio format and resolution is used in these theaters?.
Sorry, but dolby isn't only 2d, It's very limited and requires special hardware and specific dolby glasses, but some movies are made in incredible dolby 3d. alita battle angel is one of them.
he is right I saw Titanic and transformers the last knight in my local Dolby at AMC in Dolby vision 3D they have on average 1 movie a year that is released in Dolby 3D and this is shown is Dolby 3D compatible locations however only about 1/4 of the Dolby at AMC locations have 3d capability
Do you think they'll change the dolby pre show soon?
How many more seats or seats does imax have and than Dolby have?
Also I followed the link but idk how to tell if my imax is legit
Great video. Do you know about hoyts extreme screen? Are they similar sound qualities as Dolby?
Great video, I'm a follower of your channel. When the two Christie (or any projectors) working together in tandem, Is that to increase brightness or resolution?
Hi Carlos, I'm always glad to answer questions, especially from a subscriber =D The to projectors are their for brightness and black levels NOT for resolution.
To my understanding of how the projectors work, they are mounted side by side. One is set for optimal brightness and the other for optimal black levels. This ensures you are getting the best contrast/colors possible on screen. Below is the original link of which Christie projectors are used and a the PDF or the technicals

www.christiedigital.com/SupportDocs/Anonymous/Christie-Duo-FAQs.pdf
There is also some very complicated software put in place to assist in giving viewers the perfect HDR image on screen and to sync the two images. If you would like to read more in detail about the software here is the original paper published by Dolby on the topic of the software involved.

Hope this answers your question.
There are Many difference between Dolby Atmos and a cinema with 4k image, macro screen and 7.1 surround?
7:12 because of space constrains being the theater is in a mall, we don't have that in ours. Only the Prime have it. Dolby is way better.
I have the real deal IMAX at Lincoln Square (AMC Theaters) (1570 format) in my area and it's absolutely amazing, and worth having my foot stepped on, but the other IMAXes aren't adequate. Saw the Dolby Experience at the same Lincoln Square theater and I loved it too. I wish there were more 1570 IMAXes and Dolby Cinema duos around considering in I am about to move out of NYC someday. But the only silver lining is Dolby is expanding aggressively, so much so perhaps I can have better access to great deep colored picture and superb sound either ways.
is the Dolby cinema screen any larger than standard screen?? or even close to the fake Imax screens?
Excellent sound system 7.1 Mini Home theater dts surrounding sound system budget evlo sir?
I don't know much But I totally loved 3D in IMAX. I felt amazing. It was not dull at all. It was as bright as it was in 2D.
Would you recommend Godzilla King of The Monsters in Dolby Cinema or IMAX? I'm thinking about trying Dolby Cinema for this movie and then IMAX to see the difference
That’s a good plan. I’ve stated multiple times that I prefer Dolby over imax however imax has been updating their theaters in the last year and they are quite impressive.
@@MovieUniversity It seems the IMAX I've been going to these past few years I just found out wasn't a true IMAX screen. I'm pretty disappointed but I found a theater that does support a true 1570 IMAX screen so I want to see Godzilla on that screen as well as Dolby Cinema at another theater to compare them both.
Great video. One PLF you forgot to mention is Harkins Cine Capri and Cine 1. Cine Capri has a 70ft screen and Cine 1 has an 80 ft screen. Both with Dolby Atmos. But I love the Dolby Cinema. Strange, the ones that are by me, don’t have that screen as you walk in the theater.
Thanks this helps! Never been to Cine 1 or Capri. Only imax in Harkins and AMC Dolby
I usually go to XD screenings at cinemark. Can anyone who has been to both tell me how it compares to Dolby Cinema? Is the Dolby Cinema Screen as big as the XD screen?
The screens are about the same size. The audio should be the same as many XD auditoriums feature Atmos setups. The difference really comes down to the projector Dolby uses.
how big on average would a Dolby Cinema screen be then?? Compared to the 28ftx58ft LIEmax screen?
It depends on a variety of factors. I've been to DC's that are massive and are bigger than liemax's and then I've been to some that seem average for what you'd expect from a premium screen. It comes down to how much the local AMC theater wanted to invest in the auditorium. Typically, your AMCs that are close to big cities will have the bigger screens.
Dolby and imax should create a joint cinema. All theaters would be exactly like the dolby cinemas except they would have a 4 story tall screen and be able to project 70mm imax films.
Type of movie screens is IMAX, RPX, DLX, BTX, AMC ETX, ED, Cinemark XD, Dolby Cinema, REALD 3D, AMC Prime, 4DX, IMAX 3D, IMAX 2D, Dolby Atmos, and D-BOX
Based on your labeling on the List if IMAX theaters site, which labeling is a liemax?
I cover this in my IMAX video. Check it out when you get the chance.
Dolby Cinema Period. :)
Movie University.. Looks like IMAX has listened. They have upgraded the seats, audio and screen at most of their Theaters. They finally upgraded the seats at Universal Citywalk which was long overdue
Thank goodness. I’m updating my IMAX video and the company has agreed to do an interview for it. Stay tuned, it’ll be coming out in a month or two
@@MovieUniversity Can't wait. Keep up the good work MU. See you at the movies
My usual theater, AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13, has both a full 1570 IMAX screen AND a Dolby Cinema theater…
Makes it tough to choose between the two.
VERY nice. I'd choose the IMAX one then if the movie you're wanting is shot with IMAX cameras.
Hello brother I am planning to watch Avatar The way of water 3D. Which will be for good experience? IMAX or Dolby Cinema?
IMAX
The only theater formats we have are Dolby Surround 7.1, Dolby Atmos, MX4D and IMAX.
do you think Dolby cinemas will come to other cinema chains in the us like regal or Cinemark because the closest premium format i have to me is rpx with a regular signal projector and regular 7.1 sound. My closest Dolby at AMC is an hour away from my house I have been to this location and abosulty love dolby cinema over rpx and where i live they are both the same price.
Then Atmos sound is much more better than 7.1 sound? In México there are 7.1 with 4k and 4k with Atmos, it's worth to price (7.1 it's Half price)?
HERE, HERE!!!
Thanks for this video!
I live near San Fransisco with one of THE largest IMAX screens, but I still prefer DOLBY.
The seats are WAY BETTER, the seats are nicer, the price is nearly the same (difference of like $2)
DOLBY is king!
I wish I could put the Steve Correll gif of him shouting thank you from “The Office”
Is dolby louder?
@@JRBowling1997 IMAX is generally louder, but although both are great, Dolby has an edge in terms of quality of sound. Both offer a superb experience though.
@@frankvee nice. So I hear the seats in dolby have like subs in them that make them Vibrate is this true?
@@JRBowling1997 They have transducers. It’s a device similar to a speaker that vibrates the seat simulating deep bass. The vibration augments the response of subwoofers to heighten bass effects.
The trend is that all movie theaters that have either IMAX 70mm or Dolby Cinema are located in or near major US cities such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc.
Have a AMC with Dolby Cinema about 40 min drive away from me. And I think it's worth the drive and price. Beat theater experience I've had
So one question though what’s the difference between laser ultra and dolby cinema?
Dolby hands down.
I just wanna know which one has the reclinable leather chairs?
Which Dolby cinema has them?
I’ve been to 4 or 5 of them and they all have them.
I'm lucky living in Manchester UK, as we have a Dolby Cinema at the Trafford centre (shopping Mall) & also The Printworks has Europe's 2nd biggest IMAX. Both are amazing in their own right
What’s better Regal RPX or Cinemark XD?
Out of those two, probably RPX.
XD is the best. Some of them have Dolby Atmos (my local xd) and some of them have luxury leather recliners. The rest without leather recliners have plush leather seating which is still good.
I've been to three XDs and they are garbage (i'll give them this, hey have a fancy commercial). All three had cloth seats and a standard one teir 5.1 sound system. I've never seen an RPX without leather seats and a two rows of speakers on each side.
Movie University Wow that sucks. It depends on which Cinemark Theater you go to. For example, my local Cinemark XD has leather recliners but it does not have Dolby Atmos speakers on the ceiling. Besides seats and sound system, image quality looks the same as any other standard 2D digital presentation.
BORIS Blox channel Yeah, you’re lucky if your XD Theater has a Dolby Atmos speaker system. My local Cinemark XD Theatre only has leather recliners.
They also show 3D which is rare. Saw Titanic 25th anniversary in Dolby cinema 3D at New Brunswick NJ.
Please answer my question. Dark Phoenix is showing in IMAX in AMC Loews Lincoln square 13. Is it the real imax or liemax? Thanks
If you watch my video "Is IMAX worth it" I have a link that shows all the real IMAX theaters across the country.
"dolby atmoose"
I have a couple comments to make. First off, I do hope they bring this to Canada. Second, I’d disagree with you in regards to 3D, partially because I used to do 3D conversion for movies, so seeing fewer movie being released in that format upsets me since it makes it harder to get back into that line of work. Also, what’s your take on IMAX laser projectors, or is that mentioned in your IMAX video as well?
Noticed one of the theatres I looked at has a normal dolby cinema on one side. The other side has a dolby cinema prime. Why both? Are both pretty much the same? Do both have dolby vision?
They’re the same thing. The Prime branding/logos are slowly being retired from AMC. The one theater that still says Prime on it was probably upgraded first out of the two you see.
@@MovieUniversity so normal dolby cinema will Still be here? Does prime have dv?
If it has Dolby in the name I.e “Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime” it’ll have the Dolby setup. If it’s just “AMC Prime”, it will not.
@@MovieUniversity awesome thanks
Do all Dolby cinema theaters come with Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision??
Dolby cinemas=Dolby Atmos+Dolby vision+Dolby 3D. Most dolby cinemas actually have 3D. If it’s not called Dolby cinemas then it might only have dolby Atmos.
@Ale12, Kevan Yang is correct. It's been a while since I've watch the video, but apparently I misspoke or did not convey the information as I had intended. This is my fault.
Dolby Cinema is indeed capable of 3D, and several movies have shown in it (The Martian, Titanic). However, as 3D sales were already falling when the Dolby installs were wrapping up, AMC and Dolby elected to feature 2D versions with very select exceptions. It's a mission statement, not an equipment limitation- all Dolby Cinema installs could show 3D if they wanted to, but they rarely do. The problem is that during non-3D Dolby, both projectors work together to give you the best image. With 3D each projector has to supply the image for only one eye, so instead of getting the combined effect of two projectors in one eye, you get individual projections on a per eye basis. AMC and Dolby have elected to feature 2D versions with very select exceptions. It's a mission statement, not an equipment limitation You'll be hard to find a Dolby Cinema that plays movies in 3D on a regular basis. I suspect the next Avatar movie will be one of the last 3D movies in cinemas in the US because of their unpopularity (in my opinion). Here's an article talking about the decline of 3D at the boxoffice that you both might find insightful.
www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/is-golden-age-3d-officially-1025843
Movie University That’s Correct. Most westerners are not fans of 3D cuz of the brightness, but 3D is still very popular in Asia. Dolby 3D and laser IMAX fix the problem of 3D brightness. And also I believe Avatar 2 will be glass free 3D as JC said
I don’t understand your opinion when it comes to 3D movies. It’s a brilliant format in my opinion specially when you watch a movie on a Dolby Cinema 3D, the only time I will go to the cinema is when a movie is shown on 3D, and I know quite a few people who really enjoy going to see a great movie in 3D.
You sir, are a minority.
@@MovieUniversity I don't think so probably you might be cheers.
Hi I have a question. I’m going to see “Joker” in theaters. Should I see it in Dolby or imax? Was joker filmed for imax? Thanks, great content!!
In short, Joker was not shot on IMAX film so I would see it in Dolby Cinema. However, this is an excellent question and I'm going to do a video on it.
Movie University thanks a lot for the prompt response!!
do any of them have masking I dislike black bars on my movies
Black bars come from aspect ratios. I have a video explaining how aspect ratios work if you're interested.
@@MovieUniversity I know how they work what I mean do any of them covered up on any of them like on scope movie on a flat screen when I was a kid they would frame out the movies to the screen and it was make the picture pop do any of the newer formats do that you know masking on the screen
Awesome video! I’m a huge Dolby cinema fan so it was cool to nerd out with this video. I live in Dallas and we have a few Dolby cinemas but the ones I have been to did not have the projector wall walking in....sad :( lol
My family totally loves DB Cinema it but my wallet hates it ($24.95 in NJ)
Dolby does have 3D! Go check Alita: the battle angel at Lincoln center NYC . I watched it in February. I still have the ticket with me. So you are wrong when you say that Dolby only comes with 2D
Calm down. AT THE TIME of this video Dolby cinema did NOT do 3D. They have obviously changed since I made this video. I’ll be making a new one later on.
I dont like the red lights from the floor that shine on the screen when I go there that is all I See is the red on the bottom that keeps me out of the theater I still like IMAX better mostly because of the extra screen and all I can see is picture no red running lights on the screen like in Dolby and there sound sounds fuller to me I also like there picture more it looks more like film Dolby always look a little out of focus too
Eh as long as I can see honestly
My favorite theatre experience is HPS-4000 sound and hopefully one day I will see a movie in Dolby Atmos using that speaker system. I have not been impressed with Dolby Cinema due to quality of HPS-4000, High Performance Stereo speakers and amplifiers. 4k projection and Atmos is important to me, but not without HPS-4000.
Totally worth it.
5:42 im pretty late to this discussion, but probably more like fire code. That being said I have seen theaters that fully recline so idk why they can't.
EDIT: also great video :)
So what about AMC prime? How does that compare to Dolby because they both have Dolby Atmos speakers but prime is cheaper for the most part so I’m thinking it’s a downgraded Dolby Cinema experience
5:18 looks like a theater I used to work at
The San Francisco amc metreon is a true IMAX and it has comfortable leather seats, so he's never been there if he thinks almost all imax theaters are old.
what about the amc mercado or amc newpark mall in newark ?
Nice video del thanks
Apparently the 1st Dolby Cinema in the uk will be in the newly refurbished Odeon Leicester Sq in London
Well in Singapore we got Atmos :) So still yay!
I have no gripes with 3D but do dig Dolby cinema
There have already been TWO instances of a movie I wanted to see in Dolby Cinema but had to settle for IMAX
I have been to THREE different DC screens and none have the previews
The IMAX digital at my local theatre is comparable to the IMAX laser theatre an hour away
I have been to SEVEN DIFFERENT IMAX theatres
Actually you are wrong 3D is available in Dolby theaters.
I have actually addressed a correction to this in the comment section with another viewer.
@@MovieUniversity Cool did not know thanks.
I went to watch Doctor Strange multiverse of madness on Dolby at AMC and man, every movie I watch will be in Dolby from now on
Nice!
3d is very popular outside the US and people are only watching movies in 3d especially in ASIA, which generates huge money for Hollywood.
3D might be popular is Asia but it’s not in the US and not in Europe.
You should do an update with Dolby vs IMAX w/ Laser
I’d love to but IMAX doesn’t answer my emails anymore. 😞
Very few numbers of truly IMAX theatres are available.
But I enjoyed real Dolby surround and Dolby Atmos sound through the newly launched make in India pocket handset Samsung J6 10F+
Dolby Atmos is a dream sound.
I'm glad I found this channel. 🙂
I like u my friend and COMPLETELY agree that 2d looks better than 3d.
I still feel like IMAX 2D is a bit better
Dolby Theater is by far the Best Experience. Seating, Audio, visual, overall mood. If it’s a Epic, like Star Wars, Midway, Godzilla vs Kong, etc. spend the extra money to make it worth it. Biggie size that Fry!!
I head the seats like Rumble in some movies. Does it have a vibrator on the seat? Or subwoofer? Is it actually true the seats vibrate in some movies? Is the sound louder in dolby or imax?
@@JRBowling1997 I thinks it’s more like the vibration from the Subs. The sound is amazing though because it’s so immersive. Dolby is way better than IMAX in my opinion.
@@DaBluBarron1918 awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know!!!
I'd prefer both theaters because there both great.
I would go to Dolby if it would be in my country.
I am used to the original IMAX..or...OmniMax! The image was projected on a dome screen which was very impressive on its own. It should have stayed that way!
Dolby Cinema is much better than Imax. My Imax screen in my area has been shut down for the past couple months with no news of what's happened so that has meant that Dolby has been covering some of the ground that Imax usually covers in the form of offering two movies each day that you can see. Plus, both formats are exactly the same price.
Imax laser is better than dobly cinema but sadly theres so few
