Sydney’s IMAX Theatre: The Real Big Screen

The Imax Theatre in Sydney

Think you’ve seen movies on the big screen? Unless you’ve been to the IMAX, you’ve seen nothing.

Sydney’s IMAX cinema screen is the world’s largest, standing a massive eight stories high. It booms out an impressive 15,000 watts of digital surround sound, making you feel like you’re in the thick of the action.
