Unrolling the Giant IMAX® Screen at Science North in Sudbury

[Toadmushroom95]

WHOA! that is one huge piece of a cinema screen I've ever seen! what did the screen look like? who made it?

[HappyFunRun]

I want THAT under the christmas three!

[XHDxReplayX]

FUUUUUUCK YEAH :D Morocco mall ( casablanca) will have an IMAX 3D Cinema :D *excited*

I wish Norway had IMAX...

The IMAX at Jordans Furniture in Natick and Reading Massachusetts has the same HUGE IMAX screen but the seats are all Tempur-Pedic! You have to walk through a few showrooms of furniture to get to the theatre itself, but it's worth it for the IMAX, the really comfortable Tempur-Pedic, (it is a furniture store after all), seats, and the fact that there is a personal subwoofer in every seat rather than there being a central subwoofer for the whole theatre. it really immerses you!

Even at this point in time I'm an "IMAX-virgin". I would like that "virginity" to belong to a movie that was actually shot in IMAX, not shot regular 35mm and blown up to 70mm.

You read my mind. ahaha

[rolig95]

@wakeupfist Avatar?

[wakeupfist]

@rolig95

Even though we were early, all of the IMAX 3D version tickets were already sold old. We had to settle for the remaining awful seats of the regular 3D version of it. At that distance the screen wouldn't even fit in our glasses but the experience was still great.

I'm looking forward to seeing the latest upcoming space film shot with an actual IMAX 3Dcamera that [if I recall correctly from that article] took millions to develop and deploy. That's sounds hot!

@rolig95

Yeah, I was referring to Avatar.

[EmpireLS56KW]

I like the 70mm 15pef IMAX not these 35mm blow up to 70mm IMAX like Apollo 13! Wow that is so lame like regular 70mm Dolby stereo faded away to pre-retirement early 1990s around 94 with most being 35mm DolbySR-D dts SDDS8 what was IMAX hopping to accomplish a bring back 70mm DMR versions.

[sajeevan1983]

yeah, what about batman dark knight, pirates of carribean, avatar?

@sajeevan1983

"Dark Knight" featured IMAX shots but it wasn't shot entirely in IMAX.

While I love the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films they were not shot 70mm, so it's not really an IMAX experience per se.

As for "Avatar", the image quality of the live action parts won't match that of a 70mm IMAX camera (although the Miles Cameron Fusion System offers other benefits) but since it's rich with beautiful high-res CGI, I would deem it IMAX 3D worthy.

@wakeupfist The Dark Knight had some awesome IMAX shots. It was worth the extra! :)

[BreakWatcher]
