I remember going to the Charlotte NC Discovery Place and the video they played was us flying through space. I’ve never been so scared in my life. That dome theater is something else lol.
Cool that they can show feature films now. But sucks that the old film projector is gone. 15/70mm IMAX film is the highest quality format around. A shame it's so cost prohibitive.
Common misconception to think the 70mm to laser projector system for Omnimax dome theaters is a downgrade. 70mm is the best quality for a normal sized movie screen, but the dome theater uses a fisheye lens which stretches out the 70mm projection to fit the larger curved screen and it ends up having a worse quality pixel density compared to the new digital laser projection system they have now installed.
@@DolanAndGoobyFTWhow so? A 70mm imax / kodak film has far more inherent resolution than any 4k/8k cinema camera of today. That's a fact. I don't understand how a lens will work differently on 1 format than other.
Reformatting existing movies to work in this spherical screen looks like crap, it just doesn’t work. The further away anything is from the center of the screen, the more distorted it gets. Films need to be shot with this in mind and with the proper equipment to not create this effect which they aren’t. The only ones that really pull it off are the movies made specifically for this type of experience like the Hubble movie.

@@DolanAndGoobyFTW So, is the feature film is shown as a documentary too in dome format?
Same. Even the imax dome theater in Charlotte switched to digital it also had 70mm imax film projection 😭

It's good but it can be opposed etc we can't ruin our world
What are you even talking about
Sad that they swapped film for digital. Foolish.
They are changing the system likely to cut costs in shipping film.
@@Khmtravelvlog Of course they are. It's all about making things cheaper.
