out of 5 After many years, I finally visited IMAX Sydney again, now with its new renovations. This was my first visit since the update, and I was thoroughly impressed. I loved the big screen and the great surround sound, which enhanced the movie experience and drew me deeper into the story. The chairs were comfortable and provided ample legroom. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I truly enjoyed it.

My first visit since their big update. Saw Beetlejuice II and absolutely enjoyed my movie experience. The superior sound experience was also impressive!

When you walk in you through the glass doors, you will see a few machines to purchase or collect your tickets. Just behind those machines is the snack bar. On the right are the registers, where there will always be at least one staff member. The staff crew are friendly and helpful. The snack bar is stacked with popcorn, soft drinks, water, and frozens but also extra snacks like chips and chocolate. The prices for the snacks are not too different from any other movie cinema. To reach the theatre, we had to go up 2 escalators until you welcomed with a giant and bright IMAX sign. There was a crew member at the door who helped us find our seats. I don't recommend the couple seats (which are the seats we had gotten). The seats are spacious, but there is no leg room, so my legs felt very cramped. The seats are also too close to the screen and even with its back recline, I didn't feel like I was able to see the whole screen. The screen is exceptionally large and crisp. The sound system is really good and clear, but (maybe because I'm right at the front) it was overly loud. Overall, the experience was okay. Maybe it would have been better if we had gotten seats further away from the screen, and with the price tag, I don't know how often I can see myself returning. 3.5/5 🌟

IMAX is definitely the cinema experience not want but need. If a trailer tells you need to see a particular film on the biggest screen possible. Trust me you not want to miss that opportunity. I just saw Deadpool & Wolverine on the biggest screen and wow what a beautiful experience that was, I won’t ever forget.
