What Does “IMAX” Mean?

@tvaziri To me, IMAX is a viewing experience in a science museum on a ginormous dome-shaped screen that requires craning your neck to see some parts of the screen regardless of where you are sitting in the theater. Also, the projector and the film (on a platter, threaded two stories high) are on view behind a glass wall as you enter the theater. Also, it costs more than admission to the museum. None of these facts should be regarded negatively.

@marcintosh hahahah yes

I grew up in Chicago and we had an “OmnIMAX" theater at one of the museums
