I still remember going there as a kid and being mesmerized. Core memory for real

Can’t have the same resolution as the original 70mm film system. Sad to see it go.

Preach. The new IMAX Laser 4K single projection system for domes isn't as crisp as 1570 film, very sadly.

I don't like how they're calling it IMAX Dome retroactively, it was called Omni Theater.

Ya like in Toronto

But the truth is that an IMAX Dome theater is a theatre with the 360-degree, like the movie Avatar. The reason why is because it feels like you're in another world, and it is all about science. But being in that IMAX Dome theater could be scary, but being scared is normal. You just have to get use to it

@oluwawamirionakoya3287 Nope, IMAX Dome and Omni Theater are like you said 360 formats, but only some educational films have been made in that format. Hollywood films like Avatar are made in a tall wide-screen ratio, for use at standard-theater instalation and IMAX with Laser. They wouldn't work properly on a dome screen.
