I paid my first visit to the IMAX cinema yesterday, since my wife and I were in central London on work business anyway.

My first reaction was wow, is this the future of cinema. 15 minutes later I was starting to feel sick, maybe motion sickness?

Has anyone else had a similar reaction?

Only time I've been is watching one of the Matrix films.

Big mistake....

I must have missed half the film, with everything that was going on.

I remember at Flamingo Land (north yorkshire) they have a hemisphere projected cinema there playing some footage from a roller coaster and you could feel yourself swaying as you went around the corners and little adrenalin rushes in advance of the big dips. A very weird and fun experience.

It was OK

It was lovely weather to have a stroll from Russel Square to the Imax.

Now is there something 'funny' about Russel Sq? Some bloke was looking in all the phone boxes at the weekend and then asked us for directions..... I have my suspicions

We passed a phone box on the way that was filled with those cards advertising professional services of a personal nature.

Excellent! I feel bad now, but I was actually making a poor joke related to anniesdad's post.

So what did you see?

What was on when we got there (there is only one screen) An African Safari

Did you know that when leopards are mating, they make love 100 times in 3 days .

His little fellow must be worn out by the end of all that.

I feel a bit dizzy sometimes if I sit too close to the monitor while playing Nurburgring-from-the-front-of-a-car videos.
