Voldemort is tightening his grip on
both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the
safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie
within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him
for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they
work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end,
Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected
and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn.

The Experience begins with
the IMAX® 3D camera
The IMAX® 3D camera is one
of the highest resolution image-capturing devices in the world.  
By simultaneously recording separate left and right-eye images onto
two 65mm wide filmstrips – one for each eye – the camera captures
spectacular images.

The IMAX® 3D projector
The
3D projector actually projects two separate images onto the screen. 
Polarized 3D glasses allow your brain to fuse the two images
together, creating a single, pristine, larger-than-life
three-dimensional image.

Night at the Museum 2: Battle of
the Smithsonian is a brand-new comedy-adventure starring Ben
Stiller as the whimsical museum guard Larry Daley. Good-hearted
dreamer Larry Daley must say good-bye to his famous friends from
history who magically came to life during closing hours at New York's
Natural History Museum. They are being replaced by virtual hologram
exhibits, and the originals have been packed up and shipped off to
the Smithsonian's National Archives in Washington, D.C. Then, Larry
learns that the ancient Egyptian table of Ahkmenrah was also shipped
by mistake, which allows the Smithsonian's acquisitions to come back
to life! Among them are an evil ancient pharaoh, Ivan the Terrible of
Czarist Russia, the American gangster Al Capone, France's Emperor
Napoleon, and the famous pilot Amelia Earhart. It's Larry's job to
stop a nefarious plot by evil-doers in that group. Fortunately, Larry
gets vital help from Amelia Earhart. The film is a delightful
concoction of comedy, adventure, fantasy and even a little bit of
history

About IMAX®

IMAX® is the finest motion picture
system in the world. Images are projected from the IMAX film frame-10
times bigger than a conventional 35mm frame-onto a giant screen
measuring 80 feet in width and six stories in height. Rather than
multiple projectors used to accomplish this task in many IMAX
theatres, the Wortham IMAX Theatre uses a single, powerful projector.
The unique Rolling Loop technology, which advances the film
horizontally in a smooth, wave-like motion, results in superior
picture and focus quality.

The IMAX system has its roots in Expo
'67 where multi-screen films were the hit of the fair. A small group
of Canadian filmmakers/entrepreneurs, who had made some of these
popular films, decided to design a new system using a single,
powerful projector, rather than the cumbersome multiple projectors
used at that time. The result: the IMAX motion picture projection
system which would revolutionize giant-screen cinema.

IMAX premiered at the World's Fair in
Osaka, Japan in 1970. The first permanent IMAX projection system was
installed at Ontario Place's Cinesphere in Toronto in 1971.

IMAX Systems Corporation offers
extensive customer support services to its theatres and to the
filmmakers who use the IMAX medium. The company's camera rental
inventory offers more than a dozen cameras and 100 different
accessories. IMAX Systems Corporation is engaged in an ongoing
research and development program to stay at the leading edge of
cinema technology. Sophisticated computer animation and 3-D IMAX,
which debuted at Vancouver's Expo '86, are examples of recent
innovations.

IMAX Systems Corporation, a privately
owned Canadian company, has its corporate headquarters in Toronto,
with engineering research and development offices and manufacturing
plant in Oakville.
