Visit to IMAX theatre



Yea, this was my first experience in IMAX theatre. Before I went there, I asked my friend, hows the IMAX theatre looks like, he told me that the screen was very big, like 3 times bigger than a normal theatre. Well, It's not really looks like what I expected. For me, yeah, the screen is big compared to cinemas I went before.Firstly when I entered the theatre, I thought the screen will be like immense size, it didn't, maybe just a slightly bigger than a regular theatre movie screen". The sound doesn't good, it's not really "high definition sound" which I was expecting. The screen is a little bit curve (maybe for the IMAX film only?).

Well, I'm not usually enter a regular theatre, I went to cinema less than 3 times in 2010, not including the IMAX, that's why I don't have too many movie experience.I was sitting right at the middle of the seats, I enjoyed sitting at this area since most of the time when I went to cinema, my seat was at the side area. Well, its good not having many people in the theatre so that I can randomly sit at the area I wanted to, and yea I was able to sit right at the middle and the position of the movie screen was easier for me to concentrate and watch

The movie "Prince of Persia", I watched it for the first time and it was in IMAX Theatre, although it's was not in IMAX format, but I'm still enjoying the movie. If the movie was in IMAX format, my thought is the movie will be full size and really get us feel like entering to the scene? Well, when movie started, I was concentrate on the movie but it's not like what I am expecting. But, I can still saw someone fell asleep, maybe he/she watched it before ? Or maybe it was the theatre's technical issues? and the surrounding sound was not really clear enough which it supposed to be. I was thinking if the movie is on the regular theatre, its will give better results of this film "Prince of Persia".

The movie was not filmed in IMAX, so I can't really compare difference between an IMAX film and non IMAX film. I wish I could watch a true IMAX film in the future but its a little bit difficult for me since the nearest IMAX theatre is located at Singapore and then Shanghai.
