IMAX vs Dolby Cinema - Which is Better for Movie Watching

I’m sorry but I watched the whole video hoping for a definitive answer only to find out that it was up to me. I guess I already knew personal preference would dictate my future decisions.

Excuse me im going to my first imax movie can you pls check my most recent community post and tell me if my seats are ok?

Dolby for me. Thanks for the video 👍

Imax vs Dobly at Amc 16 Burbank. Well the Imax have plush rockers while the Dolby theatres have recliners. That's a big deal to me. Not being that close to the person seating next to you is amazing.

Dolby cinema

IMAX is a dead technology, while Dolby continues to innovate IMAX is stuck in the past, and most IMAX theaters aren't even real IMAX but charge full price for a screen size less than half of what its suppose to be. Not spending my money for them anymore, they won't be relevant in years to come.

I prefer Dolby, only thing IMAX has going for it is the bigger aspect ratio/screen. Dolby has higher picture quality and much better sound. Real IMAX theaters usually have very old style seating that’s uncomfortable and closely packed.

Very few real imax theatres left as well as laser imax vs xenon projectors. I believe the iMax near me has recliners as well now but it’s not the true imax I once saw visiting San Francisco. Dolby as well differs slightly my usual place has giant red speakers while the place closer to me has smaller blue speakers.

Never been inside the IMAX theater for AMC. But the Dolby is without a doubt my favorite theater.

in 3d is better in imax right?

It depends. If the movie was shot with IMAX in mind, like Oppenheimer, then IMAX.

IMAX causing of the rise of TELUS WORLD of SCIENCE Edmonton

If IMAX theaters actually had recliners and not what seems like fold out chairs i would choose imax all day. Until then Dolby Cinema is the go to

When they finally added a Dolby Cinema room into our local AMC it was a game changer. First movie we saw in Dolby was Bohemian Rhapsody and the concert portion of the movie we still talk about to this day. Personally it’s the better experience with added comfort and worth the money every time.

Definitely IMAX. It's claimed to be the world's most immersive movie experience!

At my theater, I prefer Dolby, the seats are more comfortable which helps when watching long films. Also the sound quality and vibrations of the seats are amazing. The IMAX seats are very uncomfortable.

The shaking of the seats and incredible audio makes Dolby my preferred format.

Dolby is best imo.

A very poor video, not only do you talk about Dolby cinema whilst showing TV systems, you are comparing Dolby Cinema to 75mm IMAX, but the comparison should be to IMAX laser, which is the system found in most IMAX cinemas. IMAX 75mm is vastly superior to Dolby Cinema in terms of image quality.

As an IMAX FAN since day one its disappointing The IMAX in AMC now have lower thier quality of resolution...

I have many Dolby Cinemas & IMAX Lasers near my house in the Greater Los Angeles Area and those two are my all-time favorite movie theater formats for watching many famous popular successful memorable fun interesting films in fact even though there are a lot of IMAX Laser movie theaters in big cities/metropolitan areas around the USA Dolby Cinema has a lot more of those in so many big cities/metropolitan areas across the USA and those except that I really do not like digital IMAX a lot because you are not only paying for its name you are not getting a full IMAX picture & sound quality

Objectively... Dolby

Dolby Cinema >>>

I go with IMAX !
