“Avatar: The Way of Water” is the sequel after 13 years of waiting, with more exquisite visuals than the first installment. It has 8 different versions, and it claimed the box office champion in Taipei with an astonishing momentum. Some say it not only saved the sluggish movie box office during the pandemic, but also revitalized everyone’s confidence in 3D movies. With so many versions of the movie, which one should you watch?
This time, “Avatar: The Way of Water” released a total of 8 versions: IMAX HFR 3D, Dolby Cinema HFR 3D, 4DX, MX4D, D-BOX 3D, HFR 3D, regular 3D, and 2D. It made me very curious about the different versions of the movie, and I wanted to know what the differences were. So, I did some research and summarized it.
In the past, we only needed to know which movie to watch when going to the cinema. However, nowadays people have much higher demands for sound and visual effects, so choosing the cinema and movie version has become a major consideration for most people when watching a movie.
Digital 2D Movies
This is the most widely available version and is typically chosen when there are no special requirements. In the past, movies were played using film reels, but now most have been converted to digital signals. Digital 2D movies are typically shot using 2D cameras.
Digital 3D Movies
Compared to digital 2D movies, digital 3D movies require 3D glasses to assist with viewing. By using different filters for the left and right eyes, a 3D effect is achieved. Currently, many movies are not shot using 3D cameras, but instead, the 3D effect is achieved through post-production processing. However, such movies are usually suitable for animation, where they don’t look too abrupt. For example, movies such as “Dune” and “No Time to Die” have been reported to cause discomfort due to being converted from 2D to 3D.
HFR 3D Movies
Usually, movies are run at a speed of 24 frames per second, which appears smooth and natural to the human eye. HFR stands for High Frame Rate, which means that the frame rate is increased to over double the original 24 frames, resulting in a sharper, clearer, and faster-looking picture. For example, “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” and “Gemini Man,” directed by Ang Lee, were shot at a high frame rate of up to 120fps and were specifically designed for large-screen 3D movies.
You can feel the difference by watching the video recommended byMonocle莫尼格學長有點懂in the following section.
Currently, most medium to large-sized cinemas offer the HFR 3D version.

IMAX Films
IMAX is a type of giant screen film developed by the Canadian IMAX Corporation. In addition to having a large screen, special paint is used on the screen, which is then projected onto the giant screen using lasers. A regular commercial 35mm film has 4 perforations per frame, whereas the IMAX film’s surface area is ten times larger than a traditional 35mm film, with a high resolution that delivers clear and natural images. Even when projected onto a screen ten times larger than a typical 35mm screen, the images remain sharp and vivid, creating a more lifelike experience. IMAX’s exclusive sound system can create realistic surround sound, accurately reproducing the location of sound in the film.
IMAX 3D Films
When combined with 3D glasses, IMAX creates an immersive viewing experience that surpasses that of a regular 3D screen.

4DX movies
4DX technology is a movie technology developed in 2009 that adds many simulated environmental effects to the visual experience of watching a movie, allowing for a more immersive presentation of specific scenes in the movie. The 4DX effect is divided into two types:
- “Dynamic chair effect”
- “Environmental effect”.
The dynamic chair effect allows viewers to directly feel the dynamic changes in the movie through the movement of the chair in three dimensions, while the environmental effect uses water mist, odors, wind effects, and smoke to create a realistic sense of being there. Compared to regular movies, 4DX provides a more rich and comprehensive sensory experience.
4DX HFR 3D movies
4DX HFR 3D movies combine the immersive sound and lighting effects of 4DX with high frame rate (HFR) video for a fully immersive movie experience.

D-BOX Movies
D-BOX is a newly developed shaking chair from Canada. Using its unique patented technology, the “D-BOX Motion Code™”, the system accurately designs codes that match the film’s plot, which are then transmitted to the platform or the system inside the seat to produce motion effects. The shaking can be adjusted vertically, horizontally, or forward and backward according to the movie’s plot and images, and the vibration intensity can be adjusted according to the audience’s preferences, providing a real-life entertainment experience. However, some people may find the vibrations affect the movie-watching experience, which depends on individual acceptance.
There is a vibration adjustment device located at the right armrest of the D-BOX seat. After the film officially starts, the D-BOX seat’s vibration intensity default setting will be at a medium level, and you can adjust the vibration intensity based on your personal preferences.

Summary
Since “Avatar: The Way of Water” was shot with the Sony Cinealta Venice 3D camera that meets IMAX standards at a rate of 48 frames per second and with 4K resolution throughout, it provided an opportunity to organize all the unique movie theaters in Taiwan. Normally, 3D movies require sitting closer to the screen to achieve an immersive effect. Sitting too far away can lead to a loss of the 3D effect, while sitting too close can cause dizziness or make subtitles difficult to read. This is mainly due to the post-production process of converting 2D to 3D. For “Avatar: The Way of Water,” it is recommended to watch the highest level version to fully present the visual effects that the director wants to emphasize. However, since 3D requires wearing glasses, it is still necessary to choose the version that suits oneself.
