Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater

While the atmosphere of the Omnimax Theater is amazing the most recent movie about National Parks is a real let down. The movie is really disjointed. They jump around from park to park without alway telling you what park they’re featuring. They also jump from a never really established storyline of 3 hikers to another storyline about Roosevelt and the a 3^rd storyline about the parks themselves. We love National Parks and you would think it would be hard to get a movie like this wrong, but I found myself looking at my watch about 20 minutes in wondering how much longer until it was over. The Omnimax really needs to step up their game and get some better quality movies. Love the place… but really disappointed in the movies.

Puts you right into the action! I would definitely compare this theater to the ride Soarin’ at Disney’s California Adventure! You get amazing views while learning a ton at the same time! It can be a bit overwhelming, so make sure you sit on the aisle if you get motion sickness easily.

I’ve been a fan since day 1 of the Omnimax theater at the Cincinnati Museum Center. But their current showing of National Park Adventure is well below par. I’ve been to all but a dozen of the 58 national parks and I can say own my experiences, my photos, could have done so much more to show viewers how great our National Parks are. And there are some glaring errors and issues: 1) there are 58 national parks, not 400 as the film states, unless you cite all of the historical sites and monuments. This is misleading. 2) the film focuses on 3 climbers, not the way most of us are going to experience the parks. Since this is the 100^th anniversary of the park’s founding, I would thought a more personnel, passionate approach would have been more appropriate. 3) part of the movie cuts to bicycle riders and their exploits outside of park boundaries; this was clearly included to help show off an Omnimax experience, certainly not for accurately portraying the national parks. A huge mistake that Hollywood would routinely make, but never should have happened with this film. 4) At Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, almost all of the focus was on the prairie dogs. But when it did show the tower, it focused on the climbers, and surely the filmmakers had to have known that climbing the towers is strongly discouraged by native Amercans who routinely hang their prayer flags on the property.
The film ended with far too much footage of Pictured Rocks in Michigan, in the dead of winter — again, not when most of us will want to visit.
America’s Best Idea — and this is the best film we can can come up with on the anniversary? Stay away from this movie. It isn’t worth it. Instead, use the $ 8 admission price and visit one of the parks. You’ll enjoy it a lot more.

There are certain places that define the city you live in! Places in famous cities like NYC and LA are made famous by movies and TV shows while places in Cincinnati have Unilocal and they are called hidden gems!
Cincinnati museum and Omnimax theater is a must visit place for everyone who has ever complained about Cincinnati! Its a fun complex for children and adults alike. They show mostly documentary movies made especially for dome imax theater. Almost all of their shows are educational and a fun experience. If you have kids, then membership is a way to go. Its also a very interesting place to visit with friends and family from outside Cincy. The place is beautiful in summer and winter alike. And I forgot to mention that its a functional train station as well.
A must visit place for everyone, weather you are from Cincinnati or visiting.

By far my favourite cinema (and the building) in CIncinnati.
Wonderful feeling when the picture and sound almost surround you.
I have an Omnimax card and go every month for the ‘monthly classic’. The card itself is a great deal, a bargain that pays itself if you go more than 2 times per year.
The movies here are interesting documentaries that you will not see anywhere else. Some classic monthly movies are a bit older, but the newer ones amaze me with the quality of picture and sound.
Worth recommending!

The Omnimax is one of the biggest hidden gems of the city. It is a great spot to take the kids for a really cool experience. The shows are only 50 minutes long, so it’s over before the time the kids are getting board and losing focus. On the flip-​side, it is also a great place to go on a date for couples of any age, from high school to retirement.
The actual experience starts when you walk up to Union Terminal itself. The building’s age and grandeur really make you take a step back in a sort of awe. When you step inside, the size of the main room is impressive. And the different murals and features around the room are stunning.
The one draw-​back of the shows is that they are pricey. For only a 50 minutes show, the cost is roughly $ 10 a person. My girlfriend and I purchased the Omnimax Season Pass this year, which is worth it’s weight in gold. For only $ 25, you can go to as many shows as possible for an entire year.
The Omnimax usually rotates one or two new features every few months. It also has Classic Films that it rotates every month which are shown on Friday and Saturday nights. This makes it nice because you are able to add a little variety to what you see. My girlfriend and I try to catch the feature and one of the classics together on one night.
The actual experience is Out-​of-​this-​World (A lot of the features are too, literally). It takes over all of your senses. The sheer size of the screen is overwhelming, and when the sound is added in, it puts you back in your seat as you try to take it all in.
This is definitely an experience for all ages.

This theatre does not allow food or drink. No popcorn with your movie? Blasphemy.
There are some vending machines outside, but they do not list allergen information on the items.
Miserable experience and we aren’t even watching the movie yet.

Aweeeesooome! Absolutely amazing cinema. The domed-​shaped screen offers amazing experience and gives the feeling of being ‘inside’ the movie. Good sound and good AC. Fabulous staff, always smiled and helpful!
The best kept secret in Cincinnati!
Get the Omnimax pass for 25 USD per person and enjoy as many screenings per year (yes! per year!) as you want! What a deal! If you are a Museum Member, you also get parking for free (otherwise 4 dollas after 4 PM).
New classic movie every month and 2 ‘permanent’ movies per several months. That is at least 14 movies for 25 bucks, isn’t that fabulous??? :D
Last but not least, the fact that the cinema is in the Union Terminal just makes it double-​amazing!!! :D

The Omnimax Theater is a great family experience that is extremely affordable. With $ 6 parking ($ 4 after 6) and tickets at $ 7.50 it is an affordable night out for the fam.
Come out to one of the few shows that they have playing and enjoy a one of a kind viewing experience. The Omnimax does not encourage food or drink in the theater so there is not any concessions of any kind. They do have a few vending machines if you want a quick snack. Be sure you show up early enough so you can get a good seat at the top in the middle. Each theater has a steep stairway on the edge aisles. I saw the Antarctica film and it was a very interesting and exciting story.
The Omnimax offers these IMAX screenings as well as a few other attractions. I believe there is a museum of sorts as well as a few other things. The building itself is beautiful with a great view of the Cincinnati skyline.

What?! How are there not more reviews for this place!
The Omnimax Theatre is one of the best IMAX theaters in the U.S. What makes this one so different is when you walk in the seating is in a huge dome/​sphere unlike anything you have ever seen. The seating is almost straight up and the result is a complete surround sound and visual experience.
This theater is kind of nostalgic for me because my parents would bring me here on Sundays after church and we would make a whole day of it since it is inside the Museum Center we would check out the exhibits, but honestly I just couldn’t wait to get in this crazy theater! Maybe because I am a super nerd and I love learning I don’t know, but with shows ranging from the Amazon, Titanic, Everest and The Human Body this experience is like nothing you have ever seen.
These films are made specifically for this theater and will blow your mind. With the way the seating and sound is you will literally feel like you are in the rainforest, or the last one I saw kind of scared the crap of out me because Everest was so intense. I literally felt like I was on top of it. The camera wraps around and moves through these landscapes so swiftly and although it’s not 3D you will feel like you are part of it. Word to the wise if you get motion sickness don’t go near this place. Everyone else, it’s one of the coolest places in Cincinnati.
If you haven’t been here I highly recommend you put this on your bucket list because it is super cheap and an experience you will remember forever.

If you’re considering going to a weekend movie, head on over to the Omnimax at Cincinnati Museum Center. You will find unique, intellectual entertainment that is much more affordable then the cinema.
The Omnimax Theatre features deluxe tiered seating for viewing the 72-​foot, 180º dome screen. Fifty strategically positioned sound speakers fill the room behind the screen to give the audience the ultimate experience.
As you stand in line at the theatre, look into the glass room next to you. All of the equipment is used to operate the Omnimax. The projector its self cost $ 1.2 million and has to travel up an incline to project into the theatre. You can view the reels of film too, which are laying horizontally on their spool. Each reel is 4 feet in diameter, weighs 200 lbs. and costs $ 25,000. With several dozen films in stock, ticket prices for the Omnimax are a steal!
$ 7.50 for adults
$ 5.50 for kids
$ 6.50 for senior citizens
$ 2.00 discount for museum members
Tornado Alley is currently playing at the Omnimax, and is a spectacular show. If you’re interested in weather, adventure, or documentaries, this is a must see. Other titles are rotated in throughout the year including space, Egyptian artifacts, the human body, rain forests and more.

The Omnimax Theatre is one of the best imax theaters in the country. This one is also one of the most successful in the country.
The seating platform is so steep and has a slight curvature to it so that no other person is in your peripheral while you are watching the movie. The movies are always spectacular historical or natural journeys through time, space, nature, or some other such topic. Currently they have one that is a journey through the human body.
The sensations are fantastic with the quality of video and sound that is in each show. Before the show they have a really neat presentation that shows you where the speakers are and how everything works. It’s great for kids.
Now I could take the motions and the sensations when I was younger, but I’m worried that with my current motion sickness I should be careful of what I see here. If you have health issues or are pregnant I would seriously advise not coming her, but otherwise you’ll have a blast!
