Some films just don’t hit the same when you’re watching at home on the small screen, minus the cinema atmosphere and surround sound – Oppenheimer, anyone? We reckon true cinematic masterpieces deserve the proper big screen treatment, which is why we were excited to learn that IMAX Melbourne is bringing back its new film festival for a second edition, after a popular 2024 debut season. The Best Biggest IMAX Film Festival is focused on films that look best of the big(gest) screen.
This year’s festival is happening now and runs until early March, with a program curated to please everyone from Nolan die-hards to the Sci-Fi obsessed. If you’re in the mood to tick off multiple flicks on one go, you can catch Dune and Dune 2 or Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water as double features.
Other program highlights include 2001: A Space Odyssey, Inception, Interstellar, The Matrix and THe Dark Knight Trilogy.
It’s not often Melburians get the chance to revisit cult films on such a humongous screen, so visit the IMAX Melbourne website for more information, session times and tickets.
