Stadium seating
5-story-high screen
15,000 watt Xenon bulb
15,000 watt digital sound system
Six-channels, 42-speaker surround sound
The 300-seat Blockbuster IMAX Theater located in downtown Ft Lauderdale features a 60-ft. x 80-ft. screen and a 15,000-watt digital sound system that delivers six discrete channels of clear sound through 42 speakers. The IMAX projector's 15,000-watt Xenon bulb projects images of unsurpassed brilliance and clarity onto the five-story-high screen. The steeply sloped cinema seats bring the audience closer to the screen, so that the size of the image dominates your peripheral vision.
The result is a "virtual reality"-like experience which immerses the audience in the film. 3D films are viewed using electronic liquid crystal headsets. The IMAX experience is truly an unparalleled fusion of sight and sound.
