iMax, is it worth it?

Featured Replies

We got a new iMax movie theatre about 30 minutes from my house. Harry Potter is the first movie to come for iMax, and i was wondering if it is worth it seeing it in iMax, or if i should just see it in a regular theatre?

Imax is ALWAYS worth it ;)

I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

What's the price difference (only iMax i've had the misfortune of seeing are those cheesy 3D discovery channel movies they make you watch when you go to the science museum)?

From what I remember the tickets were around 10-15 dollars

yeah, the one about the elephants kicked a.. when i was in 3rd grade. not something a 3rd grader normally enjoys, but seeing it all the way around you is freaking awesome. i havent been able to go to one since then :(

Its 3D, and you can sit around it in a circular type of a pattern, seats are high up and it also has much better sound then a theatre. It also owns :lol:

I've seen "Hunny I shrunk the audience" like 5 or 6 years ago in Disneyland Paris, that was 3-d...And that was really cool, from what I recall. :)

well the imax theatre when i went (about 10 years ago or so i guess) wasnt 3d. they might make them 3d, i dont know. the one i went to has a screen thats around 4 stories tall, and i dont know how wide but if you sit in the middle you cant see both the edges. screen quality is about the same, sound quality is awesome. they have 4 stories of screen to hide speakers behind, so it pretty cool. seating is like stadium seating+1, you basically sit where your feet are at the person below head.

It's not 3d, the image is projected onto a huge dome and the seats are usually on a steeper grade for better viewing :D

Good description :P

Lol yeah, go for it! I'd definitely see it on IMAX if given the opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question tho: Why does everyone feel the need to use a lowercase i when starting a word now? The iPod was/is cool, but now its being overused. Everyone just sticks anything that begins with the letter I as a lower case.

 

 

 

iMax? Lol :lol:

Hahaha so true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a field trip to Chicago we watched an iMax on dolphins. It...was...awesome...

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Tickets for the IMAX in Brisbane are like 50% cheaper than standard movie tickets :D

 

 

 

You can bet your life if anything decent is screening there that is where I go ;)

I've only seen an IMAX once in my entire life, and that was at the franklin institute where i went with my anatomy and physiology to see the body world exhibit (plastinated human bodies on display) but still we went to see the IMAX, that thing was incredible, like it was about the human body and what happens during a normal lifecycle, during pregnancy when the sperm went towards the egg they played some berry white music, lol :D

 

 

 

If you get a chance to see a IMAX movie, i would its well worth the price they charge for the quality you get.
