Futuroscope - Dome Theatre IMAX

Jaunay-Clan · FranceSingle source

PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room C, 49/100 — a modest premium screen, 736 m² of dome surface, and it can show the full 1.43:1 frame. The projector generation was never established, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 October 2026.

⚠ Still trading, but no longer an IMAX venue. Dome pavilion still open (reopened 7 Feb 2026 with 'T. Rex - Sur les traces d'un geant'), but the 900 m2 / 27 m dome was re-equipped with a five-projector 6K laser system (5 x 50,000 lumens, 31-speaker sound). The 15/70 IMAX Dome film system is retired and the venue is not on imax.com.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

⚠ A 2021 industry listing recorded a 15/70mm film projector here, and we could find nothing to confirm or refute it. Most multiplex film systems were removed years ago; many museum ones still run. Rather than guess either way, this venue is scored as if the projector were unknown — so if it does still run film, the score below understates it substantially.
