Imax is like a full screen large size film projection system that is made to stimulate more than what a normal movie theather would.

Quote:
A new type of movie experience where the picture is usually a few stories high. This is the highest quality format for the movie screen, this becomes a full frame presentation with much visual detail when on DVD or video.


Quote:
IMAX (for Image Maximum) is a film projection system that has the capacity to display images of far greater size and resolution than conventional film display systems. A standard IMAX screen is 22 m wide and 16 m high (72.6 x 52.8 ft), but can be larger. IMAX is the most successful large-format special-venue film presentation system.


Does that help?

Well IMAX and OMNIMAX are where the movies is set in like a dome a few to a lot of stories about you so it feels like you are experinceing the movies as it plays out. Makes me sick as all H*LL though, i get nausse easily.
