Q. Is 3D and IMAX the same?
The difference between IMAX and RealD 3D is the 3D technology that they use. IMAX uses Linear polarizing technology and RealD 3D uses Circular polarizing technology. IMAX theaters have the biggest screens than any other theatre formats.
Q. What is RPX vs IMAX?
RPX is Regal’s own large-format experience, offering bigger screens, newer projectors, and an updated sound system. Basically, RPX will look and sound better than a standard movie theater. But it’s not as premium as Dolby or IMAX with laser. Oh yeah, there’s also 4DX, but, uh, that’s its own thing.

Q. What kind of 3D is IMAX?
RealD 3D and Imax Digital 3D both utilize passive 3D technology which makes use of relatively lightweight eyewear. These passive 3D glasses use polarizing filters to allow each eye to see a slightly different image. HDTVs like LG’s latest Cinema 3D TVs work in a similar fashion.
Q. Is IMAX always in 3D?
IMAX has revealed that 3D is “no longer the default,” confirming what many have expected for a while: the majority of film fans prefer 2D screenings. With 2D, you don’t have to wear those annoying glasses, headaches are less likely, and the ticket price is often cheaper.
Q. What’s the difference between Real 3D and IMAX 3D?
Most of us who’ve caught a 3D movie at the cinemas recently probably experienced the more common RealD 3D technology, while Imax Digital 3D (as well as its analog counterpart) is a format presented at Imax auditoriums. But is there any difference between RealD 3D and Imax Digital 3D? Here what we know.
Q. What’s the difference between IMAX and regular cinema?
Watching movies in an IMAX theatre is significantly different than watching it in a regular multiplex cinema because IMAX 3D has better laser projection technology, bigger screen size, great quality sound system, and digital rem mastering (DRM). IMAX 3D has two projectors to be projected on the screen.
Q. What kind of projector does IMAX 3D use?
Imax Digital auditoriums also use two 2K projectors for 3D shows, which leads to a visibly brighter image through the glasses. While many Imax theaters these days are digital, there are still auditoriums with the analog Imax 3D format in the US and some other countries.
Q. Why do people pay more for IMAX 3D movies?
Theater audiences are paying more for Imax 3D movies for a few possible reasons. The first would be the consistent audio and visual quality across Imax auditoriums, the generally larger screen (that’s at a closer proximity to the audience) as well as a brighter image from the dual-projectors.
