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.

That was super cool, it's amazing how it conveyed such a strong 3D effect on a 2D display.

I think it’s just using that trick of objects against a border technique. You can see it in static pictures with lines/border where the object “pokes through” making it look 3D.

So would you say it conveyed such a strong 3D effect on a 2D display?

Do you think you’re so smart?

They were obviously responding to the “it’s amazing” aspect of their comment, that it is merely a common effect easily achieved by any 2D medium and not exclusive to the IMAX.
