One of the main reasons is the shape of the picture and the screen. The aspect ratio is 1.90:1, which gives you even more of the image on the screen. Movies shot for IMAX contain exclusive content, which gives you 26% more image. The screen is curved and goes from floor to ceiling and from side to side. Its gigantic size is the size of a four-story building and gives you a 70-degree angle of view, for complete immersion in the movies.
It uses a special 12-channel IMAX IMMERSIVE sound system that allows you to experience more powerful, clearer and more immersive sound. You can hear everything from the sound of a pin dropping to the roar of a jet engine. The system reproduces frequencies an entire octave lower than standard cinemas.
Every frame of the film is processed by the patented IMAX DMR technology, which gives you crystal clear images, more detail and higher contrast. Each film print goes through special processing to provide you with this quality.
Using two projectors simultaneously, IMAX gives you a high brightness image unmatched by standard cinemas.
The hall is equipped with 230 “recliner” cinema chairs. Their name comes from the English word recline – I lie down, I lean back. With the help of 3 motors you can adjust the most comfortable position of your body – for the head, for the back and for the legs.
