Not so long ago, this IMAX held the title for the world's biggest screen, which one must see to believe! Although number 2 now, this place is a visual feast for movie lovers, documentary fans, to name a few. Located in the same compound as the Melbourne Museum, this screen is gigantic, literally. The 3D movies here are definitely some of the best. The audio is marvellous, the picture quality is the BEST! Having watched a couple of movies here, sometimes I find it hard to go back to other theatres. Ranging from the insane 3D of Avatar 2 to the 1570 mm version of Oppenheimer, this place delivers heaps, and then some. It's no wonder that rhe tickets for highly anticipated movies sell out so quickly! The candy bar is fine, with a bunch of soft drunks and popcorns to choose from. Being a Big League Member (BLM) for just $10 a year is a great deal, which becomes apparent while booking tickets. Also, in case of concerns or queries, they're very quick in their responses. For students, there's a lower ticket price, which is fantastic. There are free documentaries for BLMs sometimes. Watching an IMAX movie is an experience in itself, and seeing it on this immense, immersive screen is priceless.

My friends and I came here to watch "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Avatar: The Way of Water" in 3D. The screen is huge and the 3D visuals are great. When we came to see Spider-Man, there were many hardcore fans dressed up in Marvel character costumes, which was heaps of fun to see! Cons are there is little leg room space and the seats are lined a long row with no aisles breaking them up. This means when people enter late, it is a struggle for them to get through many legs, and they end up disrupting the movie for many people.

Great experience, overall! Screen is mighty big, staff were nice (although couldn't get anyone at the end to validate parking, but the dude on the machine "help needed" button understood and applied the parking discount). Good range of food (although almost all the slushie machines were dead bar one or two Coke, so zero mixes for me!). Screen was clean, seats were comfy, overall really good experience, but a few wee moments where it coulda been lightly improved for me to call it a 5.

I had an incredible experience at IMAX Melbourne! The giant screen and sound quality were truly breathtaking. The immersive visuals and powerful audio made me feel like I was part of the movie. The only thing to keep in mind is that the first few rows might strain your neck, so opt for seats a bit further back for the perfect cinematic experience. Overall, a fantastic place for movie enthusiasts!

Travel and adventure memories of the ocean and time colliding with asteroids. Planes turning into painting and people becoming characters of the mind and the body. A story meets science and than science meets a story. The choices you make echo into a lifetime of becoming and stitches of so far into deep aspects of storytelling. Hopes and wounds and clarity of mind.

  • Carl M

Screen and sound are excellent and I enjoyed my movie. However the seats are terribly configured, small with no ability to recline and no aisles. If you need to go to the bathroom during the movie it is a nightmare squeezing passed people or having them do the same to you. For the prices they charge, you expect better. They should refresh the seats.

  • James Titchmarsh

The best place to see movies. Period. Whether you're there to see something presented in glorious 15/70mm film or 4K laser, it is by far the best place to experience a film. Even if the film isn't IMAX formatted, this is always my go to venue.

  • Todd Lucas

I've been here four times, and each time I'm amazed by the cinematography and extremely high video definition. The cinema is top notch and the venue is licensed if you'd like to share a wine or beer with your film friend.

  • Devon Kong

Beautiful massive screen. Good audio. Seats are alright, Hoyts recliner chairs are more comfortable (and cheaper)

  • Lamis Rafei

Best movie experience! Great coffee too! I love the recycling options on the way out.
