Giant screen+3D
Screen is more than ten times the size of an ordinary movie theater screen, the equivalent of the wall of a seven story building!

Dome-shaped theater enclosed in a giant sphere.
The spherical shape inside the building shaped like an inverted cone is the outer core of the theater. The steeply graded 446-seat theater is designed even small kids get a great view of the entire screen.

Instead of just watching a movie, you feel like you are actually in the movie. Developed in Canada, IMAX (image-maximum) is the largest high tech imaging system ever. IMAX uses the largest size film ever: more than ten times the size of conventional 35 mm film or more than three times that of 70 mm film. Combination of life-like images and digital 6-track /15,000-Watt audio system lets you experience virtual reality - it almost as if you are actually there! Both 3D and 2D films offer the highest quality imaging and stories.
