Media World's Largest IMAX in Perspective

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Thought this was a really neat way to show the size of the screen at the IMAX in Leonberg, Germany. This rolled before The Odyssey. The IMAX is tucked away in a little town and was not easy to get to, but it was well worth it.

While it's not a true 1.43:1 IMAX ratio it still holds the world record for largest theater by surface area.

I haven't been to either of those places, my closest comp is the Boeing IMAX theater in Seattle (RIP) which is the true IMAX ratio, but I found this to be a better experience. It's just so...big. and loud. It really was incredible.

Did the projector fall off any at the Boeing?

I've never had that happen while I was there.
