A Quiet Place Day One: IMAX or RPX?

A Quiet Place Day One has just released in theaters and the trilogy has some of the best audio design for an action thriller. But which format should you see it in? IMAX or RPX? I’ll share my thoughts in this in depth video review.

I just saw this in a Dolby Cinema last night and it was incredible! You should definitely go see it again at a Dolby Cinema. It will be worth the extra cost.

[@ebroadnax1]

Hey there. I saw it in Dolby Atmos. It wasn't bad. My friends and I agree with your rating of the film. Can't wait to experience it at home. I will take you up on the IMAX experience soon. Am enjoying your reviews on all things home theater. Keep up the good work!

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

[@shinedown54]

Atmos track was awesome! Lots of LFE! Hope it transfers well to the home release. I’m jealous you have all those options at one cinema! 😄

[@hatoraidcowboy]

LOL

[@BoyGenius-1]

Saw in a Dolby Theatre. It was good. I see this one trumping the others just because of the sheer mayhem. It sounded so awesome, and the added but kickers…chefs kiss

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Gotta put Dolby Theater in my to do list….

[@Destin311]

Hey you’re in Houston, I got to that same Regal

[@FrankieKennethL]

This was a good video to give folks what differences in offerings between the different rooms. I enjoyed the feedback and think it gives people a good idea and start point to make ticket purchase decisions. I myself prefer AMC Dolby Cinema as my top choice, if that movie isn’t showing in DC, then Prime is my next choice, third is IMAX. Imax sound is too shorty IMO w no balance. But I do enjoy the immersive screen

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Thank you! I gotta check out Dolby Cinema at some point

[@avtechman77]

I think Imax uses their own proprietary audio mix. They only use DTS-X on IMAX Enhanced for home use. I usually prefer Imax audio over Atmos. The trip wire scene from 1917 in IMAX was insane

[@Randy_Solares]

Thanks for the great review Jordan!

[@hatoraidcowboy]

You’re welcome!

[@wendellwendellb339]

Where I live, the Regal Cinema closed. IMAX is about 15 miles away!

[@Rob_James]

Looking forward to this one just for the sound. Already preordered on Kscape. Thanks for the review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Yessir

[@corbinarmstrong7419]

The only time i saw a movie in regal's RPX format was the last indiana jones movie. The screen was big, but i dont think it had dolby atmos. It was fine. But i think i might just stick to dolby cinema in terms of seeing movies in theatres and using premium formats.

[@Nytewolf718]

Seen it Friday night at AMC in Sugarland in Dolby Cinema. It was good and the sound was good. Heard the choppers overhead and glass coming down buildings. I gave it a 6 out of 10. Maybe you should try AMC.

[@hatoraidcowboy]

I def need to bite the bullet and try AMC

[@K_R_one]

My question is, did the cat from the trailer make it? Also this is my first time. Hearing of RPX format.

[@hatoraidcowboy]

The cat lives!

[@hddanman7263]

The problem is, you only made a comparison which might be the result of a poorly managed regal theater at the very least you should report it to the manager of the place and see if they give you any feedback because you said at another location RPX sounded really good on another movie Which leads me to believe that locations RPX theater was just poorly managed because there’s no way that a movie like this is going to sound bad with Dolby Atmos so basically what I’m saying is the video you just made for which format to see it in isn’t correct because you could be judging a poorly managed theater as opposed to the better format now if you went to another regal theater with RPX and it was bad as well that might make more sense anyway thanks for your time making the video

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Good point thanks for your input.

[@ebroadnax1]

@@hatoraidcowboy Perhaps a difference in titles could be influencing the playback quality?

[@christisdale9977]

How much do you pay in the states for each theater?

[@hatoraidcowboy]

It depends on the movie and the format. Average is prob around $15 or so

[@ryaneckel5601]

Hey man, can I get ahold of you outside of here, I have a question for you about purchasing something you’re using right now?

[@hatoraidcowboy]

Yea my email is in my youtube info

[@ryaneckel5601]

I just sent you an email dude

[@briang.5747]

This movie was shot in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio so would be severely cropped in an IMAX presentation. That is reason enough to avoid such showings. I saw it in a Dolby theater and the ATMOS height effects were very present throughout the showing. I've never heard of RPX as it doesn't exist where I live. To be honest it sounds like a fraud, and not a real thing. Promotional hype without substance.

[@BrendanEvansX]

IMAX is basically pointless for most films unless they're Nolan films for obvious reasons 😂

[@hatoraidcowboy]

LOL

[@liutungwei5160]

IMAX is the real deal here for movie at my place. It's the only cinema which is able to keep consistent audio quality over all the movies I watched. It never lacks in clarity, bass and dynamic. I have my own home cinema setup which is better than all the standard cinema halls in my city, and IMAX is the only reason and cinema hall that I continue to go to. Sorry, I don't have any Dolby Cinema in my country.

[@hatoraidcowboy]

@liutungwei5160 What country are you in?

[@liutungwei5160]

@@hatoraidcowboy Malaysia.

[@liutungwei5160]

​@@hatoraidcowboy We do not have Dolby Cinema in Malaysia but we do have cinema halls labelled with Atmos. My experienced with several Atmos halls over several movies are bad. Flat bass, almost no height activities and overall sounding is soft too.

[@urbanshaft]

Why anyone would see this in a non Dolby cinema is crazy... sound was similar to 2 but the story was pretty awful overall.

[@hatoraidcowboy]

I dont think it was awful just not a strong script.

[@cfogarty78]

[@hatoraidcowboy]

There were no spoilers

[@cfogarty78]

@hatoraidcowboy You legit said there is no explanation for the aliens. Maybe no one else cared but some of us want to find that out for ourselves.

[@CMac760]

Bro said a whole lot of nothing. It was hard to watch past two minutes. Is this a review of the movie or the theater experience. lol

[@ryaneckel5601]

I sent you an email
