Aspect Ratio: Your Point-of-View
Experiencing your favorite movie in IMAX consists of plenty of speechless moments but isn’t quiet at all. It’s filled with breathtaking gasps and frightening shrieks as you assume the part of the hero or even the villain; taking death-defying leaps that make you clinch the hand of your neighbor and close your eyes before you hit the ground. Yes, IMAX is that real and there are several elements that go into creating those moments that you’ll never forget.
But what is it that makes you nearly lose your lunch from looking down from the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, with Tom Cruise in M:I4 or swinging from New York’s skyscapers with Spider-Man? Well it’s actually several things that go into creating that experience, one of which is the aspect ratio of the scene, which helps bring you into the action of the film.
