Choosing in Beijing
If you are choosing tonight
It is China National Film Museum IMAX against Beijing Civil Aviation. 510 m² of lit picture against 317 m², 61% more — IMAX GT Dual Laser against IMAX 15/70mm Film.
China National Film Museum IMAX 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 Beijing.
Screen you will be sold and never see
