So I'm looking for sessions for Avengers:End Game and my local Event Cinemas has 3D sessions OR VMax but not both combined (this actually happens a fair bit with movies I like)… I like big screens and also 3D movies! which one should I book? Should I enjoy the bigger screen and forget about 3D (but wonder how much cooler certain scenes would be in 3D) or should I go 3D and forgo the larger screen realestate? How much bigger is VMax compared to standard screens?…so many questions, help me make the right choice ozBargainers

Why? You lose detail when watching in 3D.
Vmax/imax would offer the best viewing experience. Best screen and sound
interesting, I didn't realise you lost detail in the cinema with the way the film is projected, I knew that 3D at home can be lower resolution with the use of passive or active 3D TV's
I was pretty sure you do, I thought by nature 3D halves the resolution.
But in serious action sequences you do miss detail and for what? To see a few things pop out of the screen?
Nope, big screen and/or recliner is how to see this. Don't see it on a pleb screen in a regular seat, not for 3hrs!
I'm pretty sure that all 3D screenings are in 2K resolution as there is no 4K 3D standard in digital cinema.
Try 4DX, much cooler experience.
Cons of 3D:
Your brain has to work extra hard to make sense of what is happening. It gets tiring after an hour.
your eyes has to refocus quickly enough to follow the whole picture in fast action scenes or it all becomes a blur.
- it has lower contrast in dark scenes and generally more ghosting of objects and problems.
It's a no brainer , really.
vmax, easy choice
3d means lower resolution, lower contrast and more time your brain spends trying to focus than watching the movie
3d is a gimmick, and should be priced accordingly ;)
I've never had an issue with headaches or trying to focus on the screen, I believe the glasses take care of all the filtering etc.
I actually quite enjoy 3D films, I do agree the screen is dimmed a little when viewing through the glasses but it's never posed a big problem for me so far, sometimes the glasses can restrict my field of vision which can annoy. I also love high resolution screens so will have to decide soonI ended up in a 3D session and loved it, was kinda glad I chose it in the end as the picture quality seemed great too
I would reccomend 3D for this one. You can always go VMAX when you watch it the second time :D
