For years now, I’ve had a very strict policy when it comes to seeing movies in theaters: IMAX, or I don’t go. This past weekend, I ignored that policy and went to see Top Gun: Maverick in a standard theater, and I’ve been regretting it ever since.
Size matters There’s a simple truth to the way we experience things visually. The more of our field of vision an image occupies, the more real and immersive it feels. In an ideal movie viewing scenario, the screen fills up your field of view to the point where only the very extremes of your peripheral vision isn’t occupied by it. In other words, to see anything but the screen, you’d need to turn your head and look away.
On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the movie theater experience that gets you closest to Cruise’s goal, IMAX is a 10, and normal theaters are lucky if they’re a 7. With its roaring jets Top Gun: Maverick‘s ability to transport you from your seat in the theater to that seat in an F-18 will very much depend on how good your theater’s sound system is, and it doesn’t get much better than IMAX.
