What's the difference between IMAX and ordinary 3D?

2D and 3D are from dimensions, and IMAX is from screen size. Therefore, there are IMAX-2D and IMAX-3 D. But people often say IMAX-3D, because IMAX-3D is more magnificent.

2, the effect is different

The effects of 2D and 3D are completely different. 2D can only see one plane, while 3D can feel the existence of a space. Add IMAX to 3D, and you will have a large screen and ultra-luxurious visual enjoyment.

Extended data:

IMAX has achieved good results in China, and the IMAX ball screen projection halls of several science and technology museums have become the key projects of the venues and the ideal carrier for scientific and educational publicity. In terms of commercial operation, the box office of Polar Express: IMAX Stereo Experience, which was shown in the IMAX screening hall of Peace Cinema in 2005, is almost equal to the sum of the 35mm versions shown in all other theaters in Shanghai, which shows the commercial potential of IMAX. ?

In June 2006, the IMAX version of the American disaster blockbuster Poseidon will be released in Beijing and Shanghai through Peace Film Capital and Huaxing Studios. In mid-July, the IMAX version of Superman's latest episode "Superman Returns" will also be released in these two theaters. In particular, imax and Warner Bros. will jointly make the 20-minute climax of Superman Return into a 3D effect, so that the audience can appreciate the charm of Superman Clark Kent on the IMAX giant screen through stereoscopic glasses. ?

It was not until 2008 that Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight was the first commercial feature film shot on IMAX film. But because the camera is too big, director Christopher Nolan can only use it to shoot eight scenes of the film, about 30 minutes. Last year's Transformed king kong 2 also filmed three action scenes with IMAX cameras.
