Mind of Maniac – IMAX Films June 17, 2023

This weekend, The Flash will be released in theaters and IMAX screens across the country. But what is IMAX and why does going to an IMAX movie cost more? IMAX is a filmmaking standard for a special 70mm film projector.

Today, we’re going to discuss all of that and by the end of it you’re going to ask yourself if you had ever gone to a movie and just seen half of it!
