RealD 3D FAQ

What is RealD?

RealD Cinema is a revolutionary new way of seeing entertainment. RealD brings the third dimension to life and creates stunning 3D that is as real as the world around us. This is not the 3D of years or decades ago, but a next-generation digital technology – bright, clear images which immerse the viewer in a realistic and powerful experience. In a RealD 3D theatre you are seeing unparalleled visuals based upon 3D science used by NASA and others. Because RealD 3D is digital 3D, it is easy on the eyes and every seat in the house is a great seat.

How is RealD 3D different from the "old" 3D?

If you're thinking of those red-and-blue coloured glasses, it's completely different. Because RealD is a digital technology, the two images (right eye and left eye) can be perfectly calibrated, creating an ultra-realistic image that doesn't give you headaches or eyestrain.

 

 

 


 

Are there going to be a lot of 3D movies in the near future?

Yes! There are over thirty movies already planned for release in the next two years, and more to come. Leading filmmakers including Jim Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Robert Zemeckis, and Tim Burton
are all making 3D films.

So what about those 3D glasses?

Right now it isn't possible to have a great 3D movie experience without glasses. RealD's 3D glasses are uniquely lightweight and comfortable – you will forget you're wearing them. They even look cool – or so we've been told! RealD glasses are specially made not only to fit everyone comfortably, but also to fit over prescription frames.

 

 

About IMAX
What is IMAX®?



IMAX® is a whole theatre system that lets you see, hear and experience movies better.

• Up to eight stories high and 37m wide, the IMAX® screen is bigger than any you’ve ever seen, but it’s also slightly curved so that it fills up your peripheral vision – that way you feel like the action is happening all around you.

• Special large-format film allows images to be infinitely sharper. At 10 times the regular 35mm film frame, it’s the largest in the world.

• A state-of-the-art sound system respects the tiniest variations in sound.

• Seating decks are designed at a steep incline so that every audience member has a completely unobstructed view.


Are all IMAX® movies in 3D?

Not necessarily. Some movies are filmed with the special technology needed for a 3D presentation, while others simply take advantage of the extra layer of audiovisual refinement that IMAX® film and theatre can offer.



What kinds of movies are played in an IMAX® theatre?

With IMAX® you can experience places you’ve never been to and are never likely to go – from prehistoric times to deep space and deep sea, and onstage with your favourite artists.

That’s why the IMAX theatre offering is always a presentation that fully captures the richness of the multi-dimensional world we live in, whether a 2D natural history film, a 3D visual showcase or a Hollywood film re-mastered for the IMAX format.
