Very unique viewing experience. Watched the Batman movie 2022. In my experience watching a movie with a wrap around screen like this, it took a little getting adjusted and can be a bit dizzying at first because of such a wide angle view. For the most part the picture is ok but some scenes are more apparent that the film is not meant for such a curved screen.( The edges of the image are stretched). If there was a way to correct for the curvature it would awesome. The seating in the theater is not the best. The width is average but the legroom is very small. If feels very cramped when someone needs to leave their seat and must pass in front of other people. There are lower level seating(closer to screen) and an upper level. I did not see one person in the lower level possibly because it may seem to close but I cannot say what it's like because I sat in the upper level. The theater sound was great, it was so good that explosions and music could be felt in the seats. I've been to other IMAX theaters that don't turn up the volume as much as this. Overall I enjoyed the movie and would recommend to at least try it once and see for yourself. It's really something that can't be explained in a review or a video. I look forward to going back when they have a new movie.

Nice theater. However: The seat rows are much too close together, and cramming waaaaaay too many people into the theater, so there is NO leg room for those of us with LONG legs. A slight redesign (to accommodate adults) would be awesome. Other than that ... we do like the theater.

We saw the Future Cities movie and really enjoyed it. The entry coordinator has stuff to check out and a well stocked gift store. The movie theater had comfortable seats and we liked sitting in the higher level chairs. We didn’t have to crane our necks at all.

Went to see Top Gun 2. At the most intense, engaging part of the movie, the projector started buffering for about 10 minute straight, where the movie would play in one second intervals, pause, play for another second, and pause again. They reset the projector, put the movie about 30 minutes behind where we were, and then hit play. It took all of thirty seconds for it to start buffering again. We didn’t finish the movie, and when we asked the manager for a refund, she refused and offered only to give us a new ticket to view it at a later time. You only get one chance to see Top Gun 2 for the first time, and this movie theater completely ruined it for me. Do yourself a favor and just go to a...

We just saw Dune here. Honestly found the dome shape very disorienting and it distorted a lot of the image. The volume was also up so loud I had to plug my ears for around half the movie. Feel like I need to see the film a second time just to get my bearings. I did have a not-great seat on the lower level, so it's possible that contributed to the distortion. Other reviews about not having enough legroom...
