You don't have to wear 3D glasses, no.

It's just like a normal cinema but much bigger and the sound surrounds you more.

If I'm being honest you might feel dizzy after it LOL.

I used to think it was 3-D for some reason. Then just found out it was a big screen. What's the hoot?

LOL! at the 3d glasses! not for regular imax
Its prtty common now in the US, its just a very giant screen, and the picture quality is really good.
The screen comes around all the way to your peripheral vision!

There is also Imax 3D, I dont know if its the one youre gonna see!

NO, there are 3D I max's, but I thought you were talking about a regular one! Find out which one it is. And if they require glasses, they will give them to you!

To be honest I dont really like Imax theater. You dont really feel relaxed watching it. Although its cool to see at least once!

Yeah I've been to one before in the London Science Museum, a 3D one. It was awesome, we were watching this space movie and it was like you were there, I remember this apple came flying on the screen and everyone put out their hands to try and touch it.

Actually I think I HAVE been to one. In the National Space Center. It was shaped like a sphere and the screen was above you aswell?
