Located next to the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ, this theater opened alongside the museum on January 24, 1993 and is the largest domed IMAX theater in the world. The opening movie was “To the Limit”. It was renamed IMAX Dome Theater in late-1995.
Capable of showing Omnimax as well as regular IMAX movies, this theater recently has shown standard Hollywood fare alongside the usual documentaries.

When I first came to this theater, there was a demonstration film showing viewers what Omnimax was about and it featured a guy named Max. Do they still show it before IMAX movies? I’ve been there a few times. How does it compare with the Dome near Arclight, for when it shows regular movies?
Come July 19th at midnight, this theater will show the longest IMAX movie ever made….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm2vIaD3GYQ
Just imagine how much distortion there will be when they show the movie on the domed screen.
Lol

This opened as the Kodak Omnimax Theater on January 24, 1993 with “To The Limit”. Two Walt Disney World employees dressed up as Mickey and Minnie Mouse made a special appearance on opening. It was renamed the IMAX Dome Theater in late-1995.
