Here's what Illinois' largest movie screen opening this week looks like

Moviegoers often seek out IMAX theaters for new releases for the large-scale picture and unique experience they bring, but a new movie theater in suburban Batavia is bringing the experience to new heights (and widths).

“It’s the size of a basketball”
“….court”
Lmfao🤣

[@Jrad117]

Movie, picture, and sound quality is what I’m looking for, not an oversize theater.

[@bobbillings]

Now add a true Imax 70mm film projector to here, and I will come make the trip to watch. Otherwise I am still going to Indiana state museum or Grand rapids Michigan for all the big 70mm releases.

They need a better quality projector for the size of that screen the picture quality is okay but not great and the "dolby atmos" does not sound like it should overall 6/10

I want to say that Danley Sound Labs is powering the screen channels and subs. SH96-HO and I forget the subs… BC-something.
I live in LR, AR and I’d be more than happy to make a trip out to experience it.

Love it..

I wonder what the IMAX measurements of this screen would be. I guess I could do the math to find out, but it's 8am and I have a no math rule before 11a.

Its cinemascope would be cool for movies in 2.39

six flags great america had The Pictorium, an IMAX theatre, opened in 1979 and claimed to have the world's largest screen, at 64.5 by 88.25 feet (19.6 × 26.9 meters).

Is that a real tan plaid suit? Man has confidence.

35 seconds to 42 seconds 😂😂😂

I know where I’m going to go watch the second five nights at Freddy’s movie

[@ericellis309]

400 seats is nothing. Up until the 1970’s-80’s places like the Chicago Theater and the Oriental Theater showed movies.

[@marvintran7813]

Watching Oppenheimer in that theater would be super satisfying.

[@muppyfin]

Doing it tomorrow lmao

@@muppyfinHow was it? What row were you in

[@paulapril]

I have been to a movie theater since December 2019. No plans to go back. Waste of money.

[@esp4372]

Theatres are dead….just sayin
