Sydney Attractions
Description
Venue: Imax Theatre Darling Harbour When: Daily
Situated right on the waterfront of fashionable Darling Harbour, Sydney's IMAX theatre has one of the biggest screens in the world and shows films on the hour, every hour.
IMAX screens present a simulated experience like no other. The film used is ten times better resolution than a normal one, producing a giant super-real image that convinces you that you are really there. Using sophisticated infra-red technology and personal headsets for surround sound, some films are even in 3D. From underwater simulation to views of flying over New York, it has transformed the cinematic experience.
Sydney's version opened in 1996, designed by Australian architect Lionel Glendinning, with a striking aluminium cladding and black and yellow checkerboard facade. It screens both 2D and 3D films and is open every day of the year. Also in the complex is an espresso café and the licensed Mezzanine Bar. The 540-seat theatre shows a variety of films each day, in an ever-changing programme throughout the year.
