I saw in IMAX 2d why is so that theatre did not satisfy my expectations.In india theatres are shitty even a premium format like imax is meh👎 , the flaws i found brightness was low ( the brightness i saw on my phone was not there) sharpness image seems out of focus they did not calibrated the projection system for a very long time guess, it was focus okaish

(Kaam chalaw) Not pixel perfect.(Apart from film has some focus issue itself).

Next what do you call screening/ fringing effect rainbow/RGB like effect on white subtitles.

Last on the upper left & right side of screen it seemed dust like appearance a fog like appearance. Plus two middle line at the center.

Sound was amazing btw it was too loud, bass 😘 in thunder scenes it feels like sky has burst open (ऐसा लगता छत फट गया)

SHARE YOUR OPINION✌️

Thought I’d share how to check whether the regional/Hollywood films you wish to watch have subtitles or not.

A simple and most reliable way [More reliable than BMS/District App] is to visit the PVR website/app and look for the Caption icon.

This is one of the most accurate indicators, and if the icon is present, the show will 99% of the time have subtitles.

The wonderful thing is that if PVR is playing the movie with captions, the majority of other cinema chains will too. So you can be relaxed knowing that your local Miraj, Cinemax, Rajhans, etc. would most likely play the movie with subtitles too.

Hey Guys,

I was just researching for upcoming IMAX properties in India and seems we have a brand new IMAX coming in Bangalore real soon.

Brigade Utopia seems to be getting 6 screen multiplex with an IMAX screen according to the contractor listing, let's hope it is using 4K laser projectors and is one of the large screens.

Hey guys, so after almost 1.5 weeks of juggling my choices among PXL, ONYX and screenX, I finally landed on PXL yesterday. I watched it Unity One mall pvr at rohini, Delhi.
My show was in 3D but being a specs guy i really dont enjoy glasses on glasses😭 but to my surprise this movie in 3d was good! Had a fun time in 3D during the action and swinging scenes those are cool! And since PXL displays a 1.90:1 ratio, the picture was shown as it would be shown in imax and i love imax!! So this was a fun experience bigger the screen the bigger your fun lol.

For me big screens are fun and it was good to finally watch a decent superhero movie.

If interested yall can check out my review of the movie on LetterBoxd- https://boxd.it/fOdTwn

This was my second time watching this movie. First, I saw it at PXL Goregaon,then in ScreenX 3d and I would prefer ScreenX over Goregaon, even though I enjoyed PXL a lot too. I sat at E 13 and the view was good from there, not too back nor too front. Many people say ScreenX is a gimmick. I think that maybe it would be true for other movies, but not this one, as it was shot specially for ScreenX. It had 70–80% of the scenes in ScreenX, unlike other movies, which only have a few scenes and the side screens are off for most of the time.

The side screen might be less bright, but trust me, you won't notice it while watching because your attention is fixated on the main screen. The side screens are only for peripheral vision and not the main content, and they serve their purpose well, which is giving the immersive experience. In fact, I feel it would have been distracting from the main screen if the side screens were brighter.

Its screen quality and image quality are lower than that of PXL Goregaon, but I think it's overall better, as this movie is meant for ScreenX and it actually has the side screens projected for most of the time, and the main screen is quite big too, IMO. So, it's a good trade-off, IMO, for a movie specially made for ScreenX and when IMAX is also not available.

Also, the prices have reduced a lot now, so I think it's definitely worth it to watch it in ScreenX, because God knows when the next "shot for ScreenX" movie will come, if at all. So, I would definitely recommend experiencing ScreenX once.

The Odyssey

I watched The Odyssey at both PVR Priya IMAX and PVR Cinemagic PXL. Both were excellent, but I noticed some interesting differences.

Screen:

Both looked fantastic. Priya was a little brighter, and the dark scenes looked especially good.

Priya IMAX: 9.5/10

PXL: 8.5/10

Sound:

This is where Priya stood out for me. The sound had excellent depth and separation. In scenes with swords moving or arrows/bows being thrown, you could clearly tell where the sound was coming from. It felt very precise and immersive.

Sound separation:

Priya — 10/10

PXL — 8/10

Dialogue was also louder and clearer at Priya. PXL was still very good, but slightly lower in dialogue volume.

Bass:

Surprisingly, PXL wins this one for me.

The bass had much more punch and physical impact. During the heavy bass moments, you could actually feel the vibration. It was almost earth-shaking.

Bass:

Priya — 9/10

PXL — 10/10

What surprised me is that I expected Priya IMAX to have the stronger overall sound experience, especially with the bass, but PXL actually delivered the harder-hitting low end.

Also, as far as I understand, the non-IMAX DCP is 5.1 rather than Atmos, which makes the PXL bass performance even more interesting.

Both have very comfortable seats, and PXL in 2D is genuinely an amazing experience.

Overall for me:

🏆 Priya IMAX — 9.5/10

PXL — 8.5/10

Priya wins overall because of the sound depth, separation and dialogue clarity. But if you're looking specifically for bass impact, PXL surprised me big time.

Has anyone else watched The Odyssey at both? Curious if you noticed the same difference in bass.

PVR Priya - IMAX

Maybe the lights behind the screen ?

They were slightly visible during the bright screens.

Man what an experience! The visuals were brilliant, complemented by sound that hits you hard with a wonderfully tuned Atmos effect. My second visit into this venue and I'm pretty convinced that I might reduce IMAX visits especially for films with mastered scope DCPs. The IMAX close to it is pretty shit in comparison(Mantri IMAX). No 3D due to H4D3 being non compatible with it but ngl Dolby Vision more than compensated for it. Way better than having a dull, dim 3D.

Hello guys now it has been more than a week and most of the fans has seen the movie in their respective theatres of their choice in different formats. So, i think its a good time to discuss about different formats and the experience in which you`ve seen the movie. I want everyone to share name of their respective format, cinema, location and little bit about the experience.

Mine is Pvr pxl cinemagic nsp- All over it was a pretty average experience whether it comes to sound, picture quality, 3D, projection and seating comfort. Not worth the hype but it is the only theatre with 1:85:1 flat screen available in delhi-ncr.

this will also help us all to choose correct theatre and format for avengers doomsday.

I just came across this webpage by Shrey Tyagi, after hearing that Badal (bnftv) watched Brand New Day on a *non-PLF* screen but still with Tall Aspect Ratio.

We need more info on this please - if anyone knows, please share

Watched The Odyssey in the Barco HDR format (Prasads Screen 4) and holy shit, what an experience. The image clarity was absolutely spectacular. The level of detail, sharpness and HDR contrast made everything look incredibly immersive on the big screen. But honestly, the audio was just as impressive. The clarity of the sound, the surround experience, and especially the deep, powerful bass during the big sequences were insane. It genuinely felt like the kind of movie that was made to be experienced in a proper cinema rather than watched at some random theater. Easily one of the most impressive theatrical experiences I’ve had.
