IMAX is a film format and special theatre used for simulation, they started out as Omnimax with a lot of flight and space videos at Wright-Patt AFB in Dayton, Ohio.

Basically it is a 16:9 aspect ratio picture with a HUUUUUUGE resolution, two or three times that of conventional film. The screen wraps around the front of a dome and the seating is slopped on a crazy incline and you can get a an almost realistic feel of flight and motion. You can get dizzy looking at that shit. Fucking awesome!!! They have them all over the place but I've only seen them in Ohio, Chicago and New York when I was looking.


Where in Georgia is an IMAX?
