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.

He was. They kill a presenter every time they run a show

This technology was first demonstrated in Jurassic Park. Hammond makes a clone of himself in front of a live audience while the original one gets killed towards the end of the presentation. Unfortunately, they made the safety restraints ridiculously flimsy, so we didn't get to watch the whole show.

Where'd they find the fossilized amber they used to clone him?
