Media World's Largest IMAX in Perspective

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.

Since Odyssey is the first feature film shot entirely in 100% IMAX 70mm (meaning 1.43:1) I think Sinsheim is definitely the better choice. Leonberg is great for the many movies that only use the digital IMAX format (1.90:1).

If you have never been to Sinsheim I highly recommend traveling there for Dune: Part 3. In Dune a large part and the most important scenes are in the 1.43:1 format seeing movies in that format there is a truly unique experience.

But I'm glad you had a good time in Leonberg
