Old IMAX Intro

If anyone knows where to find a higher-quality version of this, please let me know!

[@stuartmcpherran5115]

I remember seeing this at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry in Portland. Good times.

[@Camsynth]

I've been looking for a recording of this for years!

[@noelanderson969]

I remember seeing this when I saw National Geographic's "Sea monsters; a prehistoric adventure"

So, I've just discovered, 2 years on, that a couple of people *did* comment with links to higher-quality versions of this intro, and KZbin decided to mark them as spam and not even notify me. Huh. I also am apparently unable to un-mark them as spam, which a forum post I saw suggests might be because they are replies and not direct comments themselves. Sorry to those two people who did find higher-quality versions, and it looked like I completely ignored you!

Okay, so, KZbin user +rikk83 wrote, 2 years ago: "i found and enhanced this version in HD kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHWnf6x6gNeWsNU" User +Henrique Martinez also commented with a link to the same video. Enjoy!

This is still at the omsi museum as far as i know. wish i could find a better quality video. thanks for the upload!

[@logiclrd]

There were a couple of people who commented -- 2 years ago now -- that they had found higher-quality videos. KZbin never notified me of their comments, and decided to classify them as spam, and I apparently don't have the option to approve them anyway.

Not sure If I'm traveling through hyperspace, 2001 or Doctor Who?!

[@logiclrd]

None of the above. :-) Way back in the day, when you went to watch an IMAX film -- any IMAX film, though most were (really high quality) documentaries -- this intro was the first thing that would play after a theatre attendant stood briefly in a spotlight with a microphone to tell you that if you feel any disorientation or dizziness, just close your eyes and the feeling should soon pass.

SpaceManMonster no is through into a IMAX logo

[@tomgreen663]

@@logiclrd Very similar to Doctor Who and 2001 in fact. It uses an optical animation technique called slit-scan which was very popular in the 1970s. Good example of the type!

[@logiclrd]

@Trever The Awesome Logo Fan 2006 Look up 2 replies previous in this same thread :-)

[@badmonkey2099]

Imagine if the script for this logo was this: 0:14 "wee we are going through a tunnel of light" 0:33 "welp its getting scary" 0:49 *"LOOK OUT THERES A BEA-"* 0:50 _camera crashes and the text _*_"YOU DIED"_*_ appears_

[@bedegleeson9868]

It's "through," not "though."

[@trctheraulchannel2023isback]

This is also used at La Géode!

[@Ionimus1]

very good ..nice memories coming up

[@scotthayes4135]

I remember this intro when I saw "The Dream is Alive".

[@Leonkun614]

That was in the Fleet Science center in San Diego.

[@alanunderwood9402]

What happened to the robot that appeared through the screen and pointed to the sub-woofers, etc?

[@logiclrd]

Is it possible you're thinking of the THX intro? "Mooo" :-) I don't remember seeing a robot with my IMAX...

[@playboy-music]

@@logiclrd well I saw a robot or a roller coaster rail

[@TravellingTARDIS]

Anyone else getting 70's Doctor Who vibes from this?

[@Trainlover1995]

IMAX meets Doctor Who.

[@Monicalala]

This has nothing to do with your Power Who Rangers

[@gochem3013]

This logo was from 1985. And I thought it was from 1986.

[@mraustyseventeen17]

You on the 1980s theatre?

[@Curls105anarm]

Looks like the Dr Who Intro

[@PetersTrainz]

Here's a higher quality one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epK8Z6uvitZ9aLs
