Have you been to a movie at the Science Museum of Virginia IMAX® theater? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s not just a movie – it’s an incredible time of being immersed into another world with the 76 foot screen. You don’t just watch the movie – you become a part of it.
The IMAX films are projected on a screen which is ten times the size of traditional 35mm film. And the screens surround the entire theater so every seat is a GREAT seat!
The Best Part?
The best part of all is that films shown at the IMAX are not only educational, but fun, exciting, engaging, and even funny. Take a look at what’s playing now at the Science Museum’s IMAX Dome:
