IMAX Dome Theater — Local services in San Jose

I loved the IMAX Dome theater at the Tech Interactive. I used to come here as a kid before they had the Dome, and I'm grateful this amazing technology exists. It reminds me a little of the 3D experience that Great America had in the nineties. You feel like you're almost in the movie being played or about to fall in.

A good idea but very poorly implemented. There is very little legroom in the seats - if you’re over around 6ft then your shins will be touching the back of the seat in front. The seats are also bolt upright, which is an incredibly poor design given you have to look up constantly to see the screen. You constantly have to crane your neck upwards. Go and sit on a dining chair and imagine a film is playing on the ceiling. This also means that sitting in the front 1/3 of the theatre is literally pointless. I watched a movie and sat halfway, and it was only just bearable. I moved after 2 minutes. The further...
