Avengers Infinity War looks to be one of the biggest movies in our lifetime next month and it looks like one of the best ways to experience it will be in IMAX. Infinity War was shot completely with IMAX cameras to give you 26% more imagery that wouldn’t even realize you are missing. I remember going to see Thor Ragnarok in IMAX then seeing it in Dolby and noticed there was small details missing and clarity I wouldn’t have been aware of.
If you haven’t bought your tickets yet you may want to opt for IMAX to get the full feel and look of Avengers: Infinity War. April 27th can’t come soon enough and you can read more about Infinity War and IMAX below.

The Russo Brothers utilized the ALEXA IMAX 65mm camera to film Avengers: Infinity War. It is a next-generation revolutionary 2D digital camera developed through a partnership between ARRI and IMAX for use by today’s leading filmmakers working in the IMAX® format. The camera, when combined with IMAX’s digital re-mastering process, delivers the highest level of digital image capture and playback resulting in stunning lifelike images with pristine clarity, incredibly fine detail, vivid colors and a higher dynamic range for superior contrast. This camera is no stranger to the world of superheroes as it was first used by the Russo Brothers to shoot the airport battle sequence of Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, released in May 2016.
About Avengers: Infinity War
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
The IMAX release of Avengers: Infinity War will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
