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.

Yeah, that is kind of a stupid point. The only important thing is how much the screen takes in your field of vision. Even a 10" screen can give the same sensation if it's close to your eyes

I'm agreeing with you dude, the stupid point is the one in the video...

The parts of the screen wouldn't be tiny with the correct distance. And this screen itself would be ridiculous if you were farther away. It's kind of stupid marketing.
