It's like a regular movie, only bigger. Right? Come on. Imax is way better than that. Watching the blockbusters on this screen is something of an other-worldly experience, best expressed by poets...

I really enjoyed the IMAX experience. This is the only theater like it in the area. The closest one is Charlotte. By the way, the Exploris museum is supposed to be merging with the Playspace museum.
