List of IMAX films

Movies shot with IMAX cameras From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of films shot partially or in full with IMAX cameras, either on 15/70 film, with the Phantom 65 IMAX 3D, with the ARRI Alexa IMAX, with other IMAX-certified digital cameras or IMAX Live Events shot with IMAX-certified cameras.

Official logo

The US premiere dates are displayed where available. Due to the ease of downconverting, most IMAX 3D films have also been remastered and exhibited in 2D, with an appropriate name change (for example Space Station 3D becomes Space Station).

Films shot entirely with IMAX 70mm cameras
