IMAX is a cinema system developed by IMAX Corporation to capture and present moving images with an extremely high amount of visual detail and clarity. In its classic form, its superior image quality comes from the comparatively large film format it uses, in which images are captured on film with proprietary cameras and typically projected on massive screens in specially equipped theaters. IMAX presentations are also recognizable for covering more vertical screen space than widescreen film formats. Though IMAX was traditionally associated with a 1.43:1 aspect ratio, most IMAX screens now have a wider aspect ratio of 1.90:1.
