Avengers Endgame is one of the most anticipated movies of 2019. Can you see it in IMAX or 3D?
Avengers Endgame is going to be a cinematic event so why not go all out, right? Endgame a.k.a. Avengers 4 will indeed be screening in 3D and IMAX for those that are looking for a totally immersive experience in the fight against Thanos. Who among us hasn’t wanted to feel like we could, at any moment, be snapped into dust?
Fandango lists your options as 35MM, Digital 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D. Digital 3D tickets are in the $20 ballpark, IMAX (2D) tickets are also around $20 and IMAX 3D are listed around $22.
Really, if you have the budget, IMAX is the way to go here. Endgame was shot entirely with IMAX cameras — only the second Hollywood film to be shot that way — meaning IMAX theaters will be showing up to “26 percent more picture than standard theaters.” What this means as far as what’s cut off for screenings not showing in expanded IMAX 1.9:1 aspect ratio is unclear. Presumably, the Russo brothers would cut anything vital to the story, but it does mean there could be some Easter eggs hiding in the margins.
Additionally, superhero movies, of which Marvel has made an art, are really what IMAX and 3D capabilities were made for. The fights, nay, battles, and special effects benefit more from the features and surround experience than your average cinematic story.
Avengers 4 a.k.a. Avengers Endgame is in theaters in digital, 3D and IMAX on Friday April 26 with select early screenings on Thursday, April 25.
