Going to see Avatar in HK. Questions: Real IMAX versus IMAX 3D. What's the difference? What's available in Hong Kong?

Posted by: carlmans on Jan 25, 08:56

Hi guys, I'm going to Hong Kong next month and I hope to catch Avatar in IMAX while I'm there. No IMAX here in my neck of the woods.

So the first question. What's the difference, if any, between Real IMAX and IMAX 3D?

Second question, if I'm going to IMAX, how do I know whether it's Real IMAX or not? I mean what will it say in the theater, or the ticket, or their website (I assume all IMAX theaters have websites) to indicate that it's real IMAX?

Third question, is there a Real IMAX and 3D at the same time? And to those in HK, is such a theater available there?

Fourth question to those living in HK or have experienced IMAX there, what theater would you recommend?

Thanks guys in advance for any help. It's already nearly 1:00 AM here, so I'm off to bed soon. But please do respond if you feel you have the answers to any of these questions. I'll read all your recommendations tomorrow.

Again, thanks.
