Disney recently unveiled a new premium large-format called Infinity Vision, which could potentially be a game-changer in leveling up the theatrical experience.
So, what fans and moviegoing audiences should expect from Infinity Vision? How will it be different from the other premium large formats? Let's explore it below.
What is Infinity Vision?
During their recent CinemaCon presentation, Disney announced the launch of Infinity Vision, a new certification for premium large format (PLF) theaters.
Done in collaboration with various global theatrical exhibitions, it will "signify to audiences which auditoriums offer the biggest, brightest, and most immersive cinematic experiences."
Infinity Vision sets a new benchmark for theatrical presentation by certifying auditoriums that adhere to rigorous technical standards. This premium experience is defined by a focus on maximum scale through the use of the largest screens available, paired with laser projection technology to ensure superior brightness and clarity.
To complete the sensory experience, these theaters utilize premium audio formats that deliver fully immersive sound, placing the audience directly into the heart of the action.
The new PLF will begin with the re-release of Avengers: Endgame this September, followed by the highly anticipated release of Avengers: Doomsday this December.
It is said to be "a major step forward in unifying premium theatrical standards and reinforcing the value of the big-screen experience for audiences worldwide."
How is Infinity Vision Different from Other Premium Large Formats?
For now, it remains to be seen how the Infinity Vision experience will be different from other premium large formats such as IMAX, since audiences will only get a glimpse starting in September.
Some fans have speculated that Disney introduced the format since Avengers: Doomsday won't be available in IMAX when it releases this December, given that Dune: Part Three will have the exclusive window.
"Disney’s standards for production quality are second to none, with every single detail of a film finely tuned for an immersive experience," said Andrew Cripps, Head of Theatrical Distribution for The Walt Disney Studios, as explained in the announcement.
"Infinity Vision certification extends that commitment to the theaters themselves, representing a shared effort between The Walt Disney Studios and the exhibition community to help audiences quickly find the very best screens in their area to experience our films in exactly the way they’re designed to be seen – on a huge screen with the sharpest, clearest color and sound."
Fans should check out the re-release of Avengers: Endgame this September to find out whether Infinity Vision will be a game-changer in the premium large format game moving forward.
