Definition: IMAX stands for "Immersive Motion Picture Experience". This is a term that has been popularized by Universal Studios in the United States and now, IMAX is also used more often globally. The word 'IMAX' means "high definition" or "large screen." In a wide sense, it's about viewing the film at an enlarged resolution. The high definition (HD) aspect ratio means that there are two dimensions on the screen but one dimension is stretched out from top to bottom and one from left to right. For example, if you're watching IMAX 3D film in a cinema with a screen size of 16:9, you'll get an image as large as your eyes can handle. The images are typically made up of pixels that are placed on the same plane, but not facing each other. In terms of detail and quality, it's often used to describe movies or television series that have high production values and use state-of-the-art 3D and special effects for their visual experience. It's also associated with films like "Titanic" (1997) which has a 5D effect on the screen during the film's climax. IMAX is especially popular in movies, TV shows, commercials, and other forms of media that feature high-definition visuals.
