Reviews of OMNIMAX Theatre at Science World (Movie Theater)

John van Bockxmeer

Great omnimax cinema showing movies that encourage you to learn about natural and scientific topics from across the World. Not that cheap but worth it!

Sharon

I saw D Day and it was good.

Mickael Maddison

The movie was decent and the experience was great for the kids.

Kerwin Poon

Screen is average, but I'm not looking for the best IMAX experience here. It's all about family and educational. That's why I gave 4 stars.

We saw the movie about the rare Kermode Bear (aka the Spirit Bear). The movie is great for all ages but so are many of the other IMAX+ movies shown at the theatre. Highly recommend that you take the kids to Telus's science world (same building) for the many hands on exhibits that are sure to thrill and amaze. World class.

John Stonehocker

Attended the Vancouver Chinese film festival there , very interesting art work , hope to see more films , and as always the venue is superb .

Sadaf Passikhani

Unbelievable

Alex Sallta

It shouldn't be extra to pay when you've already paid a high admission fee foe a family!

YW

Way over rated. The IMAX seats are very short and uncomfortable. I would expect more exhibits for the price they are asking.

Tomáš Vlček

Cool, because the screen is on one half of the dome above you so the movie is around you and it is really immersive. However, the screen is made with white Isosceles Trapezoids (angled rectangles) and the seams between them are highly visible through the movie. This was very disruptive.

Amira Naqeeb

This was one of the Wow experiences. No matter how mediocre the film is, screening it in Omnimax completely alters the experience. Definitely recommend.

Tobin Lock

Anything omnimax is awesome. We saw the butterfly migration movie.

Madison Hadfield

Always great educational videos

Richard Lee

Saw panda imax twice now.

COLLIN VANESS

Great experience

Noah Kruiper

This theatre is an absolute marvel. An incredible technical achievement that has to be experienced to be understood.

Melvin Lucas

Nice shows... well worth the trip

M. Herrn

Nice experience!

Rafi Meher

Being one of the largest OMNIMAX dome theaters in the world, the Science World theater provides one of the coolest film experiences. The combination of visuals and the powerful digital sound system makes it a thrilling experience with a variety of films to enjoy. Would not suggest the theater for very small children as the experience can get overwhelming.

Dan Patton

Science world is fun

Zona Zoe

Awesomeness the whole family had a great time

Ivan Contramaestre-Luces (blurfus)

Awesome experience

Hertz Vaughan

Great venue that continues to provide options despite COVID.

Maria Mainart

I love the Omnimax movies but Science World is way too expensive, they should sell the tickets separately.

Kingsley

A unique Vancouver experience

Lindsay Crockford

Frances Thiessen

Excellent feel and sound

(Translated) Magic Cinema !!! With a full screen. The screen is really round. When the frame is moving fast, it seems that the whole cinema is going. There is a slight dizziness. You are in the middle of the movie. Right there. Inside It is very magical !!!! (Original) Кинотеатр волшебный!!! С полнокруглым экраном. Экран и правда круглый. Когда быстро движется кадр, кажется, что едет весь кинозал. Есть небольшое головокружение. Ты находишься в самой середине фильма. Прямо там. Внутри. Это очень волшебно!!!!

Jenna Matsalla

Much fun! Love their theatre and their ever-changing and interesting exhibits

darrin mcaulay

Just watched the great bear rain forest... Great documentary, 45 mins in length. Brilliant videography narrarated by Ryan renalds. Highly recommend!

Robyn Elizabeth

I love how they share the science behind the dome and have great movies! My daughter loved the super dogs show!

Steve Jones

Great hands on learning. Pixar exhibition is great for older children.

Judy Weng

Family with kids should attend the free shows at science stage.

Ciele Rose

Needs to be updated

Gennifer Miller

Virtually no legroom in the seats. If you buy an Omnimax only ticket, they won't let you walk all the way down the ramp. You either have to take the elevator or multiple staircases. I'm not going to do that again.

Michael Bzowy

3D and panoramic.. Always a killer venue to see shows!!

Caroline Stanislawski

I loved the experience at this theatre. It feels like you are inside the movie. I watched The Great Bear Rainforest. Amazing! I highly recommend to go watch a OMNIMAX movie.

Fazle Azim

One of the beautiful places in vancouver.

Rakesh Ralla

Stellar????

Nathaniel

Top level of science world. Really great idea, but perspective while sitting is somewhat nauseating due to the position of the seating and the curvature of the screen.

Manuel Gonzalez

(Translated) A place with a theater with great films on different themes, a science place and with views of the Vancouver sea of the first. (Original) Un lugar con un teatro con grandes filmes de diferentes temas, un lugar de ciencias y con vistas al mar de Vancouver de primera.

Dagmar Herzog

(Translated) At the opening in 1985 I was already in it, so it was this time for the memory. It's definitely great for kids to go to the museum. (Original) Ich war bei der Eröffnung 1985 schon Mal drin, also war es diesmal der Erinnerung wegen. Es ist auf jeden Fall toll für Kinder in das Museum zu gehen.

Mihai Codoban

The imax dome was quite fun. That's the only thing I had time for in my short trip.

Carole Gagne

Marilyn Bassett-Smith

Awesomely wonderful experience! Went twice cos enjoyed it so much. Would definitely go again when in Vancouver. 6 stories high screen. Wow!!!! Nothing like that in lil ol' New Zealand. ????

Subrata Chakrabarti

It's always a good experience whenever we have been to the Science World Omnimax Theatre. The hour long films are educational and interesting.

Jonathan Y

Watched the Apollo 11 film here. This film is not formatted for the OMNIMAX experience, and was difficult to watch. The film is formatted for a regular theatre screen.
