The IMAX experience is the world's most powerful and involving film experience. With breathtaking images up to eight-storied high and wrap-around 12,000-watt digital sound, IMAX technology takes you to places only imagined. You can climb the daunting heights of Everest and also experience the weightlessness of space.
Only IMAX technology lets you feel like you're really there. Over 700 million people around the world have been spellbound by the force and beauty of The IMAX Experience. Technically advanced and visually stunning, The IMAX Experience continues to be the world's most immersive theatre entertainment
IMAX cameras are specifically designed to shoot 15 perforation, 70 mm film (15/70) - the world's largest film format. These cameras are extremely versatile and can be used in virtually any environment. They have been to space, explored the ocean floor, summit of Mount Everest and traveled the globe.
IMAX projectors are the most powerful in the world. The key lies in the Rolling Loop technology which advances the film in a wave-like motion at 24 frames per second. During projection, each frame is positioned on fixed registration pins and a vacuum holds the film flat against the rear lens element. When combined with IMAX 15/70 film they project images of immense size, sharpness and clarity. IMAX : Effect of Sound and Screen To complete the effect of the multi-channel, IMAX digital surround sound system, the huge IMAX flat screens and dome screens are perforated with thousands of tiny holes to allow the crystal clear sound to flow through freely.
Space Station 3D was the first 3D live-action film to be shot in space. Using advanced 3D technology, the film tells the story of the greatest engineering feat since men landed on the Moon; the on-orbit assembly of the International Space Station as it travels 220 miles above the Earth at 17,500 mph. The film included sequences that portray the force of a rocket launch, look into the depths of space, experience life in zero gravity and accompany astronauts on a space walk.
This film is about using The IMAX Experience to take one back and see how these incredibly majestic and fierce animals lived during a time that is almost impossible for us to imagine.Dinosaurs are very much alive - at least in the mind of teenager Ally Hayden. When a museum accident transports Ally on an adventure back in time to explore the terrain and territory of life-size dinosaurs, she is thrust literally nose-to-nose with the largest and most realistic dinosaur ever to appear on a movie screen - the fearsome 20-foot tall, 15-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex.T-REX also incorporates the latest scientific knowledge, provided by world-renowned palaeontologist, Dr. Philip Currie, about the creatures who roamed the earth more than 65 million years ago.
The movie takes the spectators on a virtual space odyssey along with the astronauts of Apollo Space Missions to experience the first steps of Man on the lunar surface. You can feel the weightless and leap and bound beside the astronauts, joining the race against the clock.
