Saw a 70mm print of 2001 A Space Odyssey here. The seats are in need of refurbishment and they're set too low to the ground, a specific tile is so in need of cleaning that it was distracting, a speaker or sub had come looses at rattled conspicuously, and an announcement from the projection room came as soon as the credits began to roll so the audience could be ushered out to make room for the next show. That said, the experience of seeing one of Kubrick's masterpieces on a four story 'screen' is not something I'm going to forget. Worth the price of admission and then some. Aside from the actual experience, the $15 was a welcome surprise and parking in the Franklin Institute's garage is convenient and easy to get in and out of; back to I-95 in ten minutes.

Great place, but the seats and screen is showing its age. Would like it updated, with the same dome shape. The audio is still super good. Great quality overall still.

Was a little disappointed in the quality of the screen. Seemed to be dirty or possibly showing damage and wear and tear. Felt like my 4k television has a clearer picture. You have to sit far back in the theater or be ready for a stiff neck. My 8yr old daughter and 11yr old nephew enjoyed the show but as for me would rather walk around and enjoy the exibits.

Saw a regular movie there (not IMAX). Was fun but images were noticeably warped around the edges. Also, the floors are a bit sticky from chewing gum. All said, I'd go back again for IMAX films and perhaps the occasional other movie.

Great sound but couldn't give it 5 stars because the picture wasn't that impressive
