Many of the IMAX Theaters in the Southeast are located in museums and science centers or in popular shopping malls and entertainment areas. These convenient locations make it easy to combine visiting popular vacation attractions with seeing an exciting IMAX movie.
Designed to draw the viewer into the movie experience, IMAX movies offer great family fun anytime and are especially handy for the times you may need to take a break from excessive walking, too much sun or inclement weather.
IMAX Theater Designs
IMAX Theaters come in various shapes and sizes:- IMAX Theaters - Giant flat screens and steeply pitched seating offer good views for all audience members and an exciting movie experience.
- 3D IMAX Theaters - Twin-lens projection and special polarized glasses or cordless headsets create amazing life-like effects. Almost half of the IMAX Theaters are capable of presenting 3D movies.
- IMAX Dome Theaters - Designed to put the viewer into the center of the action, IMAX dome theaters employ projection through a fish-eye lens onto a giant overhead screen.
