Imax

"It's so huge!" "Yes, it's an IMAX screen!"

If you're going to watch that movie, you should watch it in IMAX.

When the people behind the new IMAX original film "Pandas" asked the star if she would consider narrating the documentary, it was a no-brainer.

To make sure the instrument was ready for the harsh environment, the researchers needed to mimic the Sun’s intense heat radiation in a lab. To create a test-worthy level of heat, the researchers used a particle accelerator and IMAX projectors — jury-rigged to increase their temperature. The projectors mimicked the heat of the Sun, while the particle accelerator exposed the instrument to radiation to make sure it could measure the accelerated particles under the intense conditions.

Monsters and superheroes are framed by spectacular special effects on IMAX screens, and the industry's big stars flex their muscles, figuratively and literally.

Unless you have the space to set up a mini IMAX in your living room, your best bet is to get a decent 2.1 or 5.1 speaker set.
