Valley Fair Mall Best
3601 S 2700 W, West Valley City, UT 84119

Of the three Megaplex IMAX screens (Jordan Commons, Valley Fair, The District), only JC’s screen has a full IMAX aspect ratio of 1.43:1. The other two are 1.80:1 (aka LieMAX aspect ratio). Some of Oppenheimer was shot in 1.43, which means the 1.80 screens would be missing about 20% of the complete picture of the 1.43 scenes. All three of the IMAX theaters use digital 2k xenon projectors, which are relatively low resolution. Unfortunately, there aren’t any 70mm or 4k laser IMAX theaters here. The Cinemark “XD” screens are equivalent scale to the Megaplex LieMAX screens.

For the best available picture quality (better than above IMAX screens), but smaller screens with cropped aspect ratio, Broadway Theater is showing in 35mm, and the Gateway Megaplex has theaters with new laser projectors with Dolby Atmos sound.

So depends on what you prefer – the largest/complete picture (JC IMAX) or better picture quality (Broadway 35mm, Gateway laser). —u/al00f_0wl, Reddit, Salt Lake City

Park City Ghost Tours

Hear about Lizzy… the ghost that lives at the Imperial Hotel. Her husband shot her and her boyfriend as they lay sleeping in bed. (She likes men with beards!)

Learn about the Miner who fell down the mine shaft losing every limb on the 600-foot fall. (His favorite bar with the Alamo, and he can still be seen drinking there today.)

Park City Ghost Tours reflects years of research into the city’s colorful past. Originally a mining outpost, most people in Utah considered Park City “Sin City.”

With mining came hard drinking, gambling, and brothels. And with this… came accidents, mysterious unexplained deaths, and MURDER!
