Review from Chukwuma M.

I left this place with the most brain-splitting headache I've ever had, so you KNOW it's good. I have a love/hate relationship with 3D though, but that's nothing against the IMAX Theatre, I just have a terrible pair of eyes for my age, and 3D movies (*cough* Avatar *cough*) tend to melt them out of their sockets.
Like many of the other reviewers have mentioned, there always seems to be way too many kids here. Some days they'll be quiet, some days they'll be incredibly obnoxious and might ruin your experience. Maybe they keep a schedule.
But if you're new to the IMAX experience, the IMAX theatre would be a great place to start. Here, or the one at West Edmonton Mall. -

The IMAX experience is great and it's no coincidence that movies that open in IMAX make a lot of money. The seating is set up perfectly so that no matter where you sit you can view the entire screen without a problem.
The quality of the movies playing here are amazing and some of the scenes can be breathtaking. If you have a choice between watching something in IMAX or a regular theater, go for IMAX because it really does take a movie to another level. -

IMAX is probably the best way to watch a movie these days. Actually, IMAX 3-D is!
This IMAX theatre is great. The screen is so big that it's fairly unbelievable. It stretches across such a huge space that no matter where you sit, you are going to have a great view. You can't possibly not! And you'll also be comfortable. The seats are great. They rival the seats at my favourite theatre - South Edmonton Common Cineplex Odeon. And I don't say that often!
I grew up watching IMAX movies about beavers and polar bears so I will always be fond of the IMAX experience. And as the years pass, IMAX keeps getting better! The quality is phenomenal.
A agree with Maria, there are always kids here. But I am usually so immersed in the movies that it doesn't bother me.
If you've never seen an IMAX movie, you should. It's incredible! -

IMAX Theater promises world's most immersive movie experience, and delivers. The theater itself consists of only one auditorium, but this auditorium is large enough to accommodate more than hundred people. The auditorium seats are extremely comfortable. Whether you choose to sit closer to the front or at the back, you will have no problems seeing the giant screen. The picture quality is impressive which is especially important since IMAX shows educational movies about nature which involve images from underwater, high in the sky or from inside the volcano. Most movies run for 45-50 minutes, and tickets cost $13.
My only rant in regards to IMAX is that any time of day and day of the week, there are always children present. And these children are not always interested in what is going on the screen, and prefer to chat, eat and run around instead. I recommend coming as late at night as possible, otherwise you will feel like a part of school field trip.
