Screens for watching movies

https://en.wikipedia.org/?curid=77817528

The tallest IMAX (“Image Maximum”) screen in the world, measuring 76 feet (approximately 23.2 meters) tall and 101 feet (30.8 meters) wide is at The Royal Cinemas 14 in Pooler, Georgia, USA. Opened in 2022, it’s an IMAX “GT” (Grand Theatre) with a “Dual Laser” system (IMAX+DL2). It has 363 recliner seats.

The IMAX Melbourne in Australia also can project IMAX at full 1.43:1 aspect ratio.

Although as tall, Traumpalast Leonberg can’t project in 1:90:1 aspect ratio.

PROTIP: Theater marquis only say “IMAX” but there a different experiences. A “Digital IMAX” screen Aka “LIEMAX” can be as small as 28 ft by 58 ft displaying in 1:90:1 aspect ratio at 2K image resolution with 6-channel sound. Their “xenon” bulb is less bright than laser projectors. They are smaller than older “standard IMAX” screens that are “hugh” at full 1.43:1 aspect ratio at 4K images with 12-channel sound.

VIDEO: There are only 41 and in the US, only 25 theaters have the equipment to show ‘The Odyssey’ in the 70-mm film as filmed, on 52 ft by 72 ft screens:

In Manhattan, New York City, the AMC Empire 25 at 42nd and 8th has the newer, digital IMAX screen.

Until Oct 2021, LFExaminer.com and This Google Maps layer listed IMAX theaters.

Star Trek franchise

Star Trek is one of the most recognizable and influential science fiction franchises in pop culture.

“The Inner Light” episode of Star Trek Next Generation remains for me the most memorable and heartfelt show of any TV show ever. [The Art of Storytelling]

Star Trek began with the original television series in 1966 about the starship USS Enterprise exploring the galaxy in the 23rd century: “To go where no man has gone before.”

Creator Gene Roddenberry was inspired by classic adventure tales and sought to explore philosophical and social issues through futuristic storytelling.

Star Trek stands out for its optimistic vision of the future, when humanity has overcome many of its present-day flaws. The franchise is known for tackling big questions about morality, identity, and society, often using alien cultures as mirrors for our own. Its focus has always been more on dialogue, diplomacy, and ethical dilemmas than on action or violence.

The show is known for its impressive visual effects and set designs. The production value was high, and the sets were elaborate, with the USS Enterprise-D’s bridge being a standout design. The technology portrayed in the show was ahead of its time and became a staple in science fiction TV and movies. The most notable technology is the holodeck - a room that uses holographic technology to simulate any environment, including historical events and fantasies. The characters also use communicators which inspired the invention of cell phones, and virtual monitors used as computers which are now used worldwide.

Some of the show’s most memorable episodes include “The Measure of a Man”, where Data is put on trial to determine whether he can be considered sentient and have rights as an individual, and “The Inner Light”, where Picard is transported to a planet where he lives an entire lifetime in a matter of minutes. Other notable episodes involve time travel or interactions with alien races such as the Borg and the Klingons.

NASA named its first shuttle “Enterprise” after the show.
