Fun and Thrill Melbourne
The difference with IMAX is the evident from the moment you set foot inside the cinema. Images are ten times larger than traditional cinema format, and the crystal clear picture makes you feel as though you could reach out and touch them.
The screens in IMAX theatres are among the biggest in the world. The surround sound leaves the viewer feeling like they have walked into the film. The experience is unsurpassed - visually entertaining and exciting.
Melbourne's only IMAX Theatre opened in 1998 and quickly established itself as a must do activity. The Theatre has over 470 seats, and the regularly screens specially made large format films, as well as 3D features. The occasional IMAX version of a feature length mainstream film is also played.
