Review from Linny H.

I was hoping for the half-dome or full-dome but nope, it's a large format screen. Despite that, I enjoy coming to this theatre. It's located inside the Royal BC Museum behind the ticket booths.
I recommend EXTREME and COSMIC VOYAGE. I was very enthralled, it's the geek in me. :)
Money saving tip #1: If you plan on visiting the museum and IMAX, get the combo ticket.
Money saving tip #2: If you want to see more than one IMAX movie, you can buy the dual screening ticket.
Money saving tip #3: If you want to do it all (museum and 2+ movies), do tip #1 and buy additional show for only $5.75!
One thing to note; if you bought tickets for the last showing, be on time! Otherwise you'll be locked out. Thank goodness, the theatre workers are nice and let me in!Listed in: Hot spots in Victoria

Review from S Alicia S.

I went to the National Geographic IMAX. They have 4 movies a day, but they work on a rotating schedule. So, I enjoyed a pizza pretzel (the concession stand ran out out of samosas) and watched 'Sea Rex'. It was a non-fiction science movie about the succession of earth, underwater dinosaurs and human evolution. And I was shocked it wasn't in 3-D, however, the high definition mega-screen was an experience. The first 5-minutes, I was queasy. But it was an impressive short film that satisfied the geek in me.

I was close to the front o the line to see Spider-Man 3. When the doors opened a number of people rushed past me. I was still able to get a seat close to the middle, but just being a little to the side meant that my neck was in pain almost the whole time.
By the way, the star solely reflects my personal taste. it was my first time at an IMAX theatre and the bigger screen didn't wow me as much as most people; when I'm in a theatre setting I tend to get pretty immersed in the movie regardless and the thus the screen size has a negligible impact on me. A lot of other people are more wowed by the format so if you're more typical that way (and aren't prone to neck problems), you'll probably like this theatre more than I did.
