Choosing in Toronto
If you are choosing tonight
It is Cinesphere, Ontario Place against Scotiabank Theatre Toronto IMAX. 403 m² of lit picture against 396 m², so the projector decides it — IMAX 15/70mm Film against IMAX GT Dual Laser.
Cinesphere, Ontario Place also shows the full 1.43:1 frame, so it is the bigger picture and the taller one. There is no trade-off to weigh in Toronto.
Worth leaving Toronto for
Cineplex Cinemas Vaughan IMAX is 12 mi away and beats everything in Toronto.
