    Come early enough to sit at the top of the theater for the best view. If you get motion sick prepare to medicate or skip the experience.

    You can combo your IMAX movie ticket with a museum ticket to get a better deal! Museum members save on movie ticket prices and at the concession stand.

    Do NOT see Star Wars: The Force Awakens here. Almost all scenes are warped and virtually unwatchable. The only watchable films are those made specifically for the curved screen.

    IMAX Dome is a dizzying / awkward way to see feature films that weren't formatted for it. Plus there was hair on the lens for half the film. And the legroom is less than a coach seat on a flight.

    This is the IMAX inside the Tech Museum. It doesn't JUST have sciency movies, and the screen/sound system is amazing. Worth checking out!

    Though I admitted the people looked quite smart, someone had stolen our popcorn.

    sit in the back. If you sit in the middle or front, get ready to feel completely nauseous throughout the film. Unless it's one of those cool documentaries made entirely from IMAX cameras.
