  Nice IMAX experience although it's digital (laser) and not 70mm Film. Also it doesn't show the full height but it's already way larger than normal cinema screenings. The sound system was great and the 3D effect was good as well (I often had problems in other cinemas with seeing double). The price was very good with 15 $.

  Do NOT try and go here for the opening weekend of a big Hollywood movie. My friends and I thought it would be the coolest thing to see the new Star Wars movie here. It was a cluster. The line organization was terrible, there was no line control, no one knew where to go or what line to stand in or who was where in line. It was a mad dash to the front door when the time came. My friend got elbowed in the stomach by a man rushing in front of her. We eventually got in and everything went smooth afterwards. Fast forward to when a different group of friends wanted to see the new avengers movie there opening weekend. Again, no line management and people were aimlessly walking around trying to figure out where to stand or be for when they let people in. We all finally set on forming a line close to the theater entrance. When the gates opened, again, random people tried to rush the front. My friend even politely told a few people as they were attempting to cut in front of us that the back of the line wrapped around the corner and got verbally assaulted. Once we got in and seated, the movie was cut off 10 minutes in due to technical difficulties and it would be 5 ton10 minutes to sort it out. Neither experiences were pleasant. Once is an incidence, twice is a pattern. Dont go see movies opening weekend here. Find a theater with assigned seats.

  You can't beat the picture and audio quality, and even when you're forced to sit all the way up close to the screen it's still a far better experience than at a chain like AMC. The Air and Space Museum is my go to movie theater for big blockbusters, especially for the price! Be sure to make reservations in advance for big releases, they go fast.

  It breaks my heart not to give 5 stars as I love Smith Air & Space and this theater. The problem is the access. If you’re going to a movie on a busy day, the museum hasn’t figured out how to differentiate access between the possible throngs of visitors waiting to enter the museum and the paying customers of the theater. If you’re close to movie time and the line is long, the official refrain you get from museum staff is “tough; feel free to ask for a refund.” That is incredibly annoying. The customer experience can be a huge oversight but otherwise the theater is great in maybe the best venue in the world for IMAX.

  Perfect place to see a sci fi movie. We watched The Last Jedi here, and it was spectacular. Be prepared to show up well before showtime, though, as you'll have to wait in the same long line as visitors to the museum.
