IMAX: A Great Place to Bring a First Date

When you think of first dates there are many places that pop in your head. However, two options still remain strong after many years of the question “Where do I bring my first date?” What are these places? The moviesâÂ?¦and a restaurant of choice.

These two places are still very popular in the dating scene. So, what I have to bring you is the best of both worlds.

If you live in California then Sacramento is the place to be. The IMAX Theater sits nestled in the Esquire Plaza surrounded by cafÃ?©’s and eateries.

The IMAX Theater is not just another movie theater it is in fact a one of a kind experience. Below is information you can obtain straight from their website, http://www.imax.com/sacramento/index.htm ,or by calling the knowledgeable staff.

“The IMAX Experience is as unique and powerful as the technology behind it.
Images of immense size and striking clarity. Sound so clear and deep you can feel it. Giant screens that immerse you in new worlds. And specially designed theatres that transport you there. Only IMAX state-of-the-art technology creates The IMAX Experience.

IMAX uses 15-perforation, 70mm film to shoot and project images of incredible sharpness. The 15/70 frame is 10 times larger than the 35mm used in regular theatres and three times larger than standard 70mm film used in classic Hollywood epics. This makes it the largest commercial film ever invented.

IMAX and IMAX 3D giant flat screens soar up to eight stories high and are designed to encompass your peripheral vision. These screens are painted silver to maximize the amount of light reflected back to the audience. Half the size of a football field and large enough to show a whale life-size, IMAX screens fully immerse you in the scene.

IMAX uncompressed digital, wrap-around sound is simply unsurpassed in depth and clarity. Our proprietary six-channel, Proportional Point SourceTM Loudspeaker system delivers exacting volume and quality at every seat throughout the theatre. IMAX 3D cameras incorporate two identical lenses that are precisely spaced to match the distance between your eyes. This intraocular distance allows each lens to “see” both left and right views exactly as your eyes would see them. This helps to facilitate realistic 3D images once projected.

During shooting, the images register on two separate rolls of 15/70 film that run through the camera at the same time and speed. IMAX 3D cameras weigh a hefty 240 pounds. The IMAX 3D projector uses Rolling Loop technology to run two separate rolls of film simultaneously past twin projection lenses. To enable the 3D effect, the lenses are carefully aligned to project both left and right eye views onto the giant screen.

To see images in 3D, the audience wears either polarized glasses or a headset that includes electronic liquid-crystal shutter (E3D) glasses. While they have different technologies, both types of 3D glasses work with the IMAX 3D projector to provide stunning 3D images.

To enable the 3D effect, polarized glasses worn by the audience are precisely matched with the polarizing filters of the projector’s twin lenses. While the lenses superimpose separate left and right eye views onto the screen, the glasses make sure that each eye sees the appropriate image, allowing your brain to create a single 3D image.”

The IMAX Theater is comfortable and clean. It is easily located by their website. Everything is high quality including the 3D glasses that are not the traditional, flimsy, disposable ones that are hard to get on. They are high quality glasses that have a snug fit.

So, the next time you have a first date and want to make a great impression, Esquire IMAX is the place to be. With the 3D and other special effects it takes the movie going experience to the next level. Why settle for ordinary when you can choose extraordinary?

There you have it, dinner and a movie still reigns supreme in the sport of dating�its all about where you choose to go.
