Q&A: Is there a difference between an IMAX 3D movie and a digital screen 3D movie?
Question by ♫Unicorn♫: Is there a difference between an IMAX 3D movie and a digital screen 3D movie?
I am a bit confused.
Do you need glasses with a digital screen?
is a digital screen really 3D?
I mainly ask because I want to see Alice in 3D (I don’t really see movies in 3D) and want to make sure I get the real thing?
Thank you both for answering_=)

A film can be shown in digital format which has a sharper picture and sound. This has nothing to do with 3D. A 3D production requires you to wear special glasses which permit you to experience the effect of objects coming off the screen and the tremendous depth of field. This type of movie is filmed using special cameras that film the scene from two angles at the same time.
When you add IMAX to the mix you have the very latest in movie technology. IMAX is a large screen format with the capacity to record and display images of far greater size and resolution than most conventional film systems.
If you get a chance, go to see Alice in the IMAX 3D format if it is available in your area. It is truly worth it.
