IMAX Theatres are Real in Chennai?

It is always a query for many of us that the IMAX theatres in Chennai are the real 70 mm screen or a digital screen? The answer is no the IMAX screens over here are no the 70 mm screens as, only the films that are shot at 70 mm screen size can be displayed in IMAX screens. But the brand name has won the audience and is now covered many hearts and portraits that it is breathtaking. For example, the movie ‘Dark Knights Rises’ has 50 minutes wink-less shot that is specifically breathtaking when viewed under the screens like IMAX, etc.

 

But, in India, it is all not true. All are Digital Media Remastering type of converted movies. The only 70 mm theatre available in India is in Hyderabad was Prasad Labs. In these theatres, if the film is shot with 30 mm, 35 mm, cinema scope then the projector does not project it. Thus, these movies are converted into 70 MM film and then are released for the public to watch. Check the price

The resolution, color, etc are projected with two projectors of similar clarity uniting into one image at the end. Despite all these, it is the overall satisfaction; enjoyment and safety are assured with IMAX as 100 percent while in other theatres there might be compromise noted.

The size of the screen is also bigger and better. Space is excellent between rows and columns. The entire theatre is placed in a steep pattern with an arch-like the screen to favor better visual output for the viewing audience.
