List of IMAX films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by BarberFett (talk | contribs) at 18:54, 5 February 2010. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of films either shot with IMAX cameras or digitally remastered for display in IMAX theaters. Films that may have been projected onto IMAX screens using the standard 35mm print, such as Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, are not listed. Ride-based short films using IMAX technology, such as The Simpsons Ride, are also not listed. Due of the ease of downconverting, most IMAX 3D films have also been remastered and exhibited in 2D, with an appropriate name change (example: “Space Station 3D” becomes “Space Station”). The US premiere dates, where available, are also displayed.
