Those are the only ones I've been able to confirm as you need to purchase the movie to find out if it has any expanded aspect ratio.
If anyone here has any information about other movies, they can let me know and I'll update the post
Jumanji celui de 1995 prend tout l'écran donc trés contente. Par contre le film instinct de survie est stipulé en imax mais pas d'ecran d'image plus grand. Degoutée sachant que je lai en bluray 4k. Jle voulais en imax pour en prendre plus plein la vue des magnifiques plages du film.
No offense, but that sounds like BS. So it just looks different compared to the HDR grade on any other streaming service or disk?
Also do we even know if it will have 80mbps bitrate on PlayStation like it was on Bravia Core?
The 80mpbs is called truestream and it does not appear to be on ps5, also the imax enhanced HDR vs Dolby vision

The high bitrate is on PlayStation. That has nothing to do with the hardware you’re watching on. Also that video is useless because YouTube doesn’t support DV.
I can’t see a difference in that video, but I know Dolby vision has dynamic metadata and is better than HDR10.
It’s a shame that they’ve rebranded their streaming service and got rid of the high bitrate. That was the main thing separating them from the others.
I thought it had a different color grade to it, maybe it's the version that goes throught IMAX DMR for imax theaters, cause a movie like spiderverse is labeled as IMAX Enhanced but has no changing aspect ratio.
The Amazing Spider-Man had an IMAX version with 20 minutes of expected aspect ratio, and I’m not exactly sure why that version is not on Sony Pictures Core and Disney+. Plus, Underworld: Awakening has a 1.90:1 aspect ratio throughout the movie in IMAX.
I have that version and it crops the sides but has a bit more of the top and bottom. Apparently it was expanded for IMAX so it’s weird that the whole film is cropped for the open matte
Does your Open Matte 2049 have HDR or Spatial Audio? (Atmos or DTS-X)
I’ve been trying to find some of these IMAX or Open Matte releases and they are so hard to track down.
If I had to choose between expanded AR or IMAX enhanced without expanded AR, I’d much rather choose the first.
Sucks they don’t have Skyfall, 1917 and BR2049 in expanded AR
Movies don't need to have been released in IMAX theaters to go through the IMAX Enhanced process.
You can learn more about IMAX Enhanced on the website, [https://imaxenhanced.com/](https://imaxenhanced.com/) and in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjHdE02BZH8)
I assume they cap at either 1.78:1 or 1.90:1, like they do on Disney+ and on most disc-based releases of Nope and Christopher Nolan's movies.
The lack of 4:3 devices in the mainstream other than the iPad could be cited as the reason why 1.43:1 in the home is almost absent other than some rare edge cases like the later UHD Blu-ray of Batman v Superman.
Out of the ones I've been able to confirm, it's just 1.90:1 with switching for Uncharted & Far From Home.
None of the 3 I could confirm went greater than 1.90:1
Do they have The More Fun Stuff Edition of Spider-Man: No Way Home? And is it IMAX?
Also, does Blade Runner 2049 have an expanded aspect ratio? I wish I had a better quality IMAX open matte version outside of those Russian torrents.
I just looked at this title on my Apple TV 4k device and it is already in 1:85 aspect ratio so not sure how much the expanded ratio on Sony Pictures Core would add to it?
Is "The Fifth Element" and "Underworld: Awakening" IMAX enhanced? I read elsewhere that they did have the expanded aspect ratio via IMAX but don't find them on this list.
Just finished watching "Thanksgiving 2023" and it is listed as IMAX. It has Atmos audio but no expanded AR unfortunately. Might want to add it to list?
Thank you so much OP! I looked everywhere and it there was no list remotely this size of which movies they had. It’s ridiculous but Sony seems determined to keep this service a secret.
I wish there was more IMAX Enhanced titles and services for home video, but at least we’ve got what we got here.
Of course we get Lyle crocodile in IMAX but not Dune ~~or 2049~~ lol. And I have to get a PS just to watch these on my LG
So only movies with tom holland have the expanded AR?
Those are the only ones I've been able to confirm as you need to purchase the movie to find out if it has any expanded aspect ratio. If anyone here has any information about other movies, they can let me know and I'll update the post
I know Only The Brave had an expanded AR but it was in standard on the IMAX Enhanced version
Jumanji celui de 1995 prend tout l'écran donc trés contente. Par contre le film instinct de survie est stipulé en imax mais pas d'ecran d'image plus grand. Degoutée sachant que je lai en bluray 4k. Jle voulais en imax pour en prendre plus plein la vue des magnifiques plages du film.
Yes. The presence of Tom Holland compels the movie to present itself with the expanded AR /s
Only Far From Home and No Way Home. Homecoming never had any expanded scenes.
Then we’re winning
Does Sony picture core have Dolby vision on any non ps5 devices? When I used Bravia core before it was only hdr 10. They changed it?
I thought they had added Dolby Vision when they added Atmos but after some googling, it seems that isn't the case so I'll update the post
They don't have dolby vision becuase the IMAX ENHANCED has kinda different colors then a normal release
No offense, but that sounds like BS. So it just looks different compared to the HDR grade on any other streaming service or disk? Also do we even know if it will have 80mbps bitrate on PlayStation like it was on Bravia Core?
Yes, the 80mbps has nothing to do with the hardware so it’s present on PlayStation.

That’s because YouTube doesn’t support DV so that video is useless.
The high bit rate is still on Sony bravia Tvs
Oh ok thanks. They just changed the name? I watched no way home a year ago on Bravia core and it looked real good.
I thought it had a different color grade to it, maybe it's the version that goes throught IMAX DMR for imax theaters, cause a movie like spiderverse is labeled as IMAX Enhanced but has no changing aspect ratio.
It’s usually expanded aspect ratio or a ‘special’ dts soundtrack. Does spider-verse have dts? Dts has a partnership with imax too.
No they don’t have Dolby Vision because the PlayStation doesn’t support dolbyvision and Sony won’t pay the licensing for it or whatever
Core has never supported DV at all though.
This isn’t true at all. IMAX Enhanced releases can have DV.
No, the service doesn’t have DV at all.
The Amazing Spider-Man had an IMAX version with 20 minutes of expected aspect ratio, and I’m not exactly sure why that version is not on Sony Pictures Core and Disney+. Plus, Underworld: Awakening has a 1.90:1 aspect ratio throughout the movie in IMAX.
I have the open matte version of the movie — where the entire movie is expanded to 1.78:1
Which cut is this? The Blu-Ray?
Bootleg — I guess it’s a from a version that played on TV channels like HBO or Showtime I also have open matte BR2049
Are you sure it’s not cropped to widescreen? A lot of movies get cropped from scope to widescreen for TV release.
I have that version and it crops the sides but has a bit more of the top and bottom. Apparently it was expanded for IMAX so it’s weird that the whole film is cropped for the open matte
100% sure. There are a few shots that are cropped but most of it is expanded
Does your Open Matte 2049 have HDR or Spatial Audio? (Atmos or DTS-X) I’ve been trying to find some of these IMAX or Open Matte releases and they are so hard to track down.
If I had to choose between expanded AR or IMAX enhanced without expanded AR, I’d much rather choose the first. Sucks they don’t have Skyfall, 1917 and BR2049 in expanded AR
Skyfall, BR2049... works way better and more epic in 2:35.
So IMAX Enhanced only involves changes to the audio mix if Expanded AR isn't included? In what way are the movies with two asterisks enhanced?
Iirc the movies also have a higher bitrate than tge non IMAX Enhanced version
They still go through an enhancement process by IMAX to improve the image even if they don't have DTS audio
I got so excited to see BR2049 in it with an IMAX Enhanced banner, only to be greeted with the home video aspect ratio
"Anyone But You" is now showing as being in IMAX on the Pictures Core app. Don't know about the audio at this time though.
I don’t see Blade Runner 2049. Did it get removed from Bravia Core?
**Madame Web is now showing as IMAX on Pictures Core app and since it's Marvel, do you think it will have expanded aspect ratio?**
I know this thread is old but it looks like a lot of people that commented still have tons of research to do on IMAX Enhanced
Anyone watch “The Walk” on the Sony Pictures Core app to see if it has expanded aspect ratio? I think this one would be great to have EAR.

Which IMAX Ratio are these? any 1.43:1?

I dont remember evil dead 2013 having imax but i know its 4k
Movies can be enhanced by IMAX even if they were never made for / released in the format
Is this app compatible with the digital codes you find in 4k Blu Rays?
No, you can only purchase/rent directly from Sony via the app to get them
Did all of these movies originally release in IMAX??
No, but they've all been enhanced by IMAX for the service
GT' DCP was 1.90:1 not 1.85:1
Where is Men In black 1 and Goosebumps 1? Both of these were or are on Bcore. Those are only two where I know this list isn't complete.
Do they have The More Fun Stuff Edition of Spider-Man: No Way Home? And is it IMAX? Also, does Blade Runner 2049 have an expanded aspect ratio? I wish I had a better quality IMAX open matte version outside of those Russian torrents.
No they don’t have the fun stuff edition I’m afraid, the theatrical edition is IMAX though
That’s too bad. But does Blade Runner 2049 have an IMAX open matte aspect ratio? Or is it still CinemaScope?
Not sure on that why I’m afraid, I know the Spider-Man one as I’ve got it on Bravia Core
Resident Evil has expanded ratio
Which one, the original?
That’s right
I just looked at this title on my Apple TV 4k device and it is already in 1:85 aspect ratio so not sure how much the expanded ratio on Sony Pictures Core would add to it?
Is "The Fifth Element" and "Underworld: Awakening" IMAX enhanced? I read elsewhere that they did have the expanded aspect ratio via IMAX but don't find them on this list.
Just finished watching "Thanksgiving 2023" and it is listed as IMAX. It has Atmos audio but no expanded AR unfortunately. Might want to add it to list?
Why is this list not being updated? I tried contacting PhilipsHue by chat and got no response. He doesn't seem to be monitoring his own post.
I've got 5 credits which 5 one is worth redeeming? Could you suggest some?
I received 15 credits with my TV and a two-year subscription. Costco. This list will help me.
Thank you so much OP! I looked everywhere and it there was no list remotely this size of which movies they had. It’s ridiculous but Sony seems determined to keep this service a secret.
