IMAX® Technology

Experience

As more than 300 million people around the world will testify, seeing an IMAX® film is a stunning experience. It puts you into the centre of the action in a way no ordinary screen presentation can, drawing you in with images that are so real you want to touch them, so powerful that you can feel them.

IMAX® is, quite simply, the finest motion picture system that exists. Images of surpassed size, clarity and impact are seen on giant screens, enhanced by a superb six-channel sound system.

Recognized in 1986 with an Academy Scientific and Engineering Award, this revolutionary system has changed the history of cinema, drawing record-breaking audiences to is theatres around the world.

IMAX® premiered in 1970 to enthusiastic acclaim. Its sister system, IMAX® DOME (OMNIMAX) debuted three years later.

More than two decades of research, development and engineering have pushed Imax's state-of-the-art technology even further to include sophisticated computer animation, the world's first high-fidelity 3D, new configurations and simulators.

Beyond the superior technology, the content of IMAX® films stretches the mind and the imagination. This melding of form and content results in an overwhelming experience for the viewer. "I felt I was in the picture" is the recurring sensation.
