The Magic of Big Screen Classics: London's Science Museum Extends IMAX 70mm Film Showings
London's Science Museum is treating movie buffs to more big-screen magic. They've just added four extra showings to their IMAX 70mm film season. This is big news for film lovers who want to see classic movies in the best possible format.
What's the Deal with IMAX 70mm?
Well, it's like the VIP section for movie watching. The picture is super sharp, and the sound is incredible. Only a few theaters in the world can show films this way. The Science Museum's IMAX: The Ronson Theatre is one of them. It's got a massive screen and fancy laser projectors.
Not All Movies Were Originally Filmed in IMAX 70mm
Some were shot on different film and then upgraded. For example:
- "The Dark Knight" has some scenes in IMAX.
- "Interstellar" has a lot more.
- "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Inception" weren't shot in IMAX 70mm, but they've been converted to look amazing on the big screen.
The museum is also showing "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" in IMAX 70mm. This is special because all the scenes inside the arena were filmed this way. It's a rare treat for fans of the series.
The Theater Itself is Pretty Cool Too
- Recently renovated
- Super comfy seats
- Top-notch sound system with 12 channels of audio
