IMAX is an abbreviation of the words image and maximum. IMAX is not going to be a typical theater experience. Instead, as the name suggests, IMAX will prepare a great visual feast for the audience with a great visual experience as large images on the screen and high-quality sound.
IMAX theaters, which are equipped with technology developed by the Canadian company IMAX Corporation, first came to India in 1999 in Wadala, Mumbai. In such an iMax theater, movies are shot and screened at a larger size and resolution than usual. The size of IMAX screens mainly depends on the area of the multiplex. Its specialty is that images span from 47 x 24 feet to 74 x 46 feet, floor to ceiling and wall to wall. A theater screen will also have a slight curve. IMAX theaters provide a theatrical experience that embraces the full potential of innovative laser technology.
Films shot on iMax cameras are generally screened in iMax theaters. Other films are screened in IMAX even following digital remastering. Movies are screened here by simultaneously running two projectors with 2K and 4K resolution. And sound alignment is facilitated by state-of-the-art sound speakers and custom-made loudspeakers. The seats are designed to fully implement the idea of enjoying the movie equally no matter which corner of the theater you sit in. That is, the seats are arranged in a semi-circular shape in a spacious theatre. When all these are put together, the audience gets a 360-degree audio-video experience.
In any case, the first IMAX theater in Kerala is coming to the capital, which can rewrite all existing definitions of theater viewing. Because IMAX presents the audience with an unparalleled viewing experience.
