300!

Saw 300 on the world's largest movie screen - how cool was that?! Words cannot explain how immersive it really is - it is ALMOST too much.

I just have to quote what IMAX themselves say about it:

Screen and Sound System

The screens in IMAX Theatres are the biggest in the world and Sydney boasts the world's largest cinema screen. They just don't come any bigger!

Up to eight storeys high, they are ten times larger than a traditional cinema screen and fills the whole field of human vision.

Made of stretched vinyl, coated with a reflective silver paint they are stretched taut over a scaffold frame.

With thousands of small perforations they allow sound from speakers positioned behind the screen to play their key role in the total surround sound system.

Sound is critical to the IMAX experience. The film soundtracks are delivered through a mighty 15,000 watt digital surround sound system manufactured by Sonics Associates Inc, one of the world leaders in sound system design.

The IMAX six channel, high fidelity, motion picture sound system with sub bass plays off three separate CDs each carrying two tracks.

Amazing!
