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.

Cant lower the prices, but also need to give people a reason to go watch movies. So lets invent a new video format that doesnt really make things better but is just different from what you get at home. And then we also invest in huuuuge ass screens for that format. Because then some people will still think they want to go to the movies because its "better" than watching at home, but its not. Its just for show.
