PACCAR IMAX Theater

This is my second time to this theater and I need to remind myself to see more movies here; the image is second to none and the audio is the same with great sound quality and deep bass. We just saw Everest in 3D and it was amazing, I think it must be the angle of bank on the chairs that make the 3D seem so real. Also less seating means smaller crowds which usually means less noise and that was definitely the case last night.
Skip the concessions and go across the street to the Armory and enjoy a variety of great local food and drinks. So show up early to enjoy that.
Overall a great spot for families or couples.

Oh hells yeah. Seeing movies on not just a big screen, but a BIGGER screen? Sold!
Complete with the typical (yucky) popcorn smell, overpriced candies, and drinks the size of gas tanks, this is everything you love to hat about movie theaters.
The seats were clean and the theater has stadium seating so you don’t have to worry when someone tall sits in front of you. All in all? Pretty darn sweet.

Yes, it’s IMAX. But as mentioned in the other reviews, it’s much smaller than the bigger IMAX screen at The Pacific Science Center. Additionally, the concessions stand only offers drinks bottled via a vending machine. Finally, make sure you avoid the last two rows of seats. Due to a design error when they renovated, the leg room is non-​existent, and the second to last row seats do not recline, to accommodate the minimal leg room behind them! Definitely try to catch your movies in the larger Boeing IMAX theater.

This is my first experience with IMAX so I have nothing to compare it to. It was not as grand as I was expecting. Apparently I need to go to the Boeing IMAX for the wow factor. Overall, the kids loved the experience of the big screen. Can’t say I make a point to come to an IMAX showing of a Hollywood film at this theater. But hey, it is free with the family membership to the PSC.

Hmmmm not an awesome IMAX but it got the job done… I’d rather be at the Boeing IMAX

We’re members of the Pacific Science Center — and we really enjoy this awesome establishment of Seattle. Just watched the Hobbit recently there — I hear they’re going to be doing an awesome renovation. Can’t wait.

This theater is the little brother to the science center’s much larger Boeing IMAX screen and doesn’t have some of the same amenities, but is still a great experience when compared to other theater options. The seats are decent if not a bit small and viewing angles are not ideal for 3D movies unless you are in the center area. Concessions are available at a small kiosk where you will find a basic assortment of items including popcorn, soda, and candy.
Screen size: 35 feet tall and 60 feet across
