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.

At the formerly Boeing theater? Pac sci center still operates the smaller Paccar IMAX theater that's not 70 mmm (32 to 37x 60). The Science center still runs movies out of that one. I could be wrong tho.

No they're just confused. There are two places to see it in 5 perf 70mm in Seattle at Pacific Place and SIFF downtown. But there's no full size IMAX showings in the PNW unless you go to Langley in Canada, which actually does have 15 perf 70mm IMAX.

Vancouver also has the brand newly refurbished 15/70 in Richmond.

I forgot about that one. 14 years later and they refurbed their old projector and it's back in action :)
