22. What is IMAX ?
IMAX is the ultimate movie experience. With crystal clear images
up to eight stories high, and wrap-around digital surround sound,
IMAX takes you to places you only imagined.
The IMAX Experience is as unique and powerful as the technology
behind it.
Large Format Film
IMAX uses 15-perforation, 70mm
film to create images of incredible
sharpness
The 15/70 frame is 10 times larger than the 35mm
used in regular theatres. This makes it the largest
commercial film ever invented. Would you believe,
IMAX large format film is so strong it could be used
to tow your car
?
23. Semi-circular IMAX Dome screens produce huge images
that soar and swoop above, beside and behind you to fully
surround you in The IMAX Experience
.
Forty-five hundred times
larger than an average
TV screen, IMAX and
IMAX 3D giant flat
screens soar up to eight
stories high and have a
slight curvature that
extends beyond the field
of geometric
recognition. Because
these screens fill your
peripheral vision, you
feel like you’re right in
the action. IMAX 3D
screens are painted
silver to maximize the
amount of light reflected
back to the audience.
