Great behind-the-scenes video. This theatre really is amazing: super steep seating means you can't see the people in front of you at all, just the screen. Plus, the dome shape and positioning close to the seats means that it fills your field of vision making for an even more immersive experience.

I've been to this theater dozens of times over the last 20 years or so and it never gets old.

They should have kept the original opening presentation, though... the new one sounds forced and doesn't have enough Spock.

@hpa2005 its actually very hard....your sense of balance must be well cause even though the floor is flat, the whole dome is tilted so it kinda messes with your head....people often get dizzy from it....

Would be great to see Avatar that way

I just have to ask: how do people stand being in a theater like this?
