“Love the huge screen and sound.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

No 3D, but otherwise a super IMAX with the best sound system I've ever heard. It's surrounded by a great museum, and close to all sorts of waterfront activities in Victoria. More

“Love IMax”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

Although IMax theatres are now very commonplace, it remains quite an experience. Glad to see they are showing regular movies - we saw Mission Impossible the Ghost Protocol. Theatre was full and it was quite an experience! The theatre is clean, the seats in good condition. We enjoyed our visit. More
