Giant screens everywhere. IMAX theaters have massive screens that can be several stories tall, making you feel like you're right inside the action of the movie.

Special cameras and film. IMAX uses unique high-resolution cameras and film formats that capture way more detail than regular movie cameras, so every part of the picture is incredibly clear.

Steep theater seating. IMAX cinemas originally had stadium-style seating tilted way back so everyone in the audience could see the enormous screen without craning their necks.

More than just IMAX movies. While IMAX cameras film amazing nature documentaries and action movies, many of those films are now shown in wider formats too, not just on IMAX screens.

You feel immersed. The combination of the huge screen, crystal clear picture, and dramatic angle makes your brain feel like it's actually part of the story unfolding in front of you.
