The first IMAX cinema in Europe was opened in 1983 at the National Museum of Film and Television in the UK. It remained the only IMAX cinema in the UK for the next 14 years, and traditionally was used to show wildlife and geographical film to conference goers.
IMAX uses 70mm film instead of the normal 35mm film, and this film (the largest stock in the world), is put through the projector horizontally. With a frame size 10 times larger than normal stock, the IMAX system produces images with crystal-clear clarity on a screen which is wider than the field of human vision.
Truly an awe inspiring experience. Currently, there are I believe only 6(?) IMAX cinemas in the whole of the UK, and I'm lucky to live in one of those few cities that has one.
With more and more mainstream film production companies now looking to IMAX as their next step in being able to provide a much better all round entertaining experience for the film goer, are we likely to start seeing more and more big budget blockbusters made using this system?
If so, won't the experience of then watching it on 'plain old' DVD on your home cinema system be a bit of a let down in comparison?
