There are few names in the movie business more recognizable than IMAX. The premium format company has developed a reputation with many moviegoers for providing an upgraded viewing experience, but what exactly makes that film presentation feel upgraded? One of CinemaBlend’s Managing Editors, Sean O’Connell, recently traveled to IMAX’s headquarters in Toronto to learn a whole lot more.
While there, he spoke with engineers and other employees in all the major departments to find out what they do and how they’re pushing the technology further and further. From theater configurations to seating to screen size to sound to picture quality, every element of the guest experience and movie presentation is looked after by a team of employees; so, in partnership with IMAX, we’re putting together a series of videos to explain the science behind it all.
