Christopher Nolan Dreams Big
Friday, July 16 by Julie Brown
Christopher Nolan is no stranger to the power of the giant IMAX format, having used the large format film to shoot key sections of the blockbuster hit, The Dark Knight, with spectacular results. With Inception's debut on Thursday 22 July, we can certainly expect big things from the film's IMAX season. The biggest images, combine with 15,000 watts of digital, laser-aligned sound and a steeply-raked stadium-style auditorium to create a truly immersive film experience. At IMAX, you're not just watching Inception's dream, you're in it!
Make INCEPTION at IMAX a memory, not just a dream.

If you saw The Dark Knight here at IMAX in Darling Harbour, you’ll know what all the hype building for Christopher Nolan’s latest film event is all about. If you didn’t, then you won't want to miss out second time round.
Inception is a mind-bendingly captivating action thriller in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays a master of corporate espionage, Dom Cobb, a thief who extracts secrets from deep within the sub-conscious, during the dream state when we are most vulnerable.
With spectacular locations set around the world, and in the realm of imagination, the giant canvas of the IMAX screen provides a unique backdrop for what has been described as the most innovative and compelling new film of the season.

Take a Tour of the Projection Booth

The projection booth is where all the giant action starts at IMAX Sydney. It’s not your run of the mill cinema projector here though. The giant images we’ve all come to enjoy on screen, start with giant reels of film that run a great speed through a similarly oversized projector. That's about 4.2 kilometres of giant 15 perf/ 70mm IMAX film for every 45 minute film, or over 12 kilomtres of film for your average 2 hour feature film! And with 3D, you can add a second reel to that, as the film is separated into a "left eye" and a "right eye" just to complicate matters. Come with us and take a look at what goes on behind the silver screen…
