Reviews of Mugar Omni Theater (Movie Theater)

Julius Boykins

All I can say is Leonard Nimoy

Conrad Cardenas

Loved it.

Pamela Ashmankas

You should see National Parks Imax before it goes away!

Reynard The Fox

Anyone who's been to the Museum of Science in Boston knows that there is a lot to do in that one location. The Omni Theater always offers a wide variety of different movies throughout the year and the kids really enjoy being in the Theatre and they also get to learn something too lots of fun

Great

craig dukes

The projector lens needs cleaning...dust on the lens is distracting from film

Andrew Woods

A really great experience! They have a great variety of shows to see here. Definitely check it out!

Steve Tetreault

Wow! That IMAX experience is something to behold. The stairs are a bit steep, and my elderly mother didn't love that, but otherwise, a nice experience.

Lauren L.

Great barrier reef show was great

David Grigorian

The Mugar Omni Theater is a one of a kind experience. The movies are short, but amazing. During the experience you are sitting in a dome and everything is taking place around you. You feel that you are in the movie. Everyone should experience this.

Jack King

Medusa was awesome

E L

Always great experience at Mugar On I Theater. Seats are comfortable, movies are interesting.

Jason Garrabrant

Great screen and awesome sound system. There is a garage that you get discounts on if your a member of the museum of science.

Paul Bianchi

Truly a MUST SEE !

DjNecklace

Great

Where else nearby can you find a dome imax theater .... That's right nowhere else in new England.

Matt Reid

The Omni theaters really great things. I've been going there since it was built when I was a kid. I would strongly suggest getting tickets online ahead of time. You can do digital tickets on your phone which is nice. It's pretty loud so young kids I'm not really recommended. But somewhere 4 or 5 and up is good. Be aware you can't really get out to pee. You're kind of in it for the duration but the shows don't really last an hour there more like between 42 minutes and 50 minutes.

Shashank Tadepalli

The contents of the show as well as the experience of an immersive theatre was absolutely amazing..Worth watching...

John Griffin

Love this place! Always breath taking imagery inside the 180 degree dome screen that makes you feel like you left Cambridge and we're transported to. . . .whatever/where ever is showing

RELEQT

It was awsome

Jasper Watson

Love this place. Tons of things to do, and a proper IMAX DOME!

Maribel Barquie

THE MUGAR OMNI THEATER AT THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE OF BOSTON IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND ONE OF THE VERY BEST THEATERS IN MASSACHUSETTS. FOR ME, THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER PLACE BETTER THAN THE OMNI THEATER!

Prashant Pradhan

It was a delight to watch the informative documentary on Volcanoes in surround sound system and domb shaped screen.

Brian Gaudreault

Rare IMAX Dome Theatre with a near 180° surround screen and specially-formatted movies that amaze.

jessica betters

The omni theater was amazing it puts you right into the movie

Justin Kwiatkowski

Very nice place to watch an imax film. Great visual effects, comfortable theatre.

Andrea Perra Antonucci

The best part is the Leonard Nimoy introduction to every film!

William Machanic

Amazing theater in one of the world's great science museums. Films are always interesting (running about 50 minutes), but the intro to the theater, prior to the main film, using Leonard Nemoy, could use updating.

Andrea Rodriguez

I loved just that it hurts your head a bit

Vandan Patel

Is a one of a kind experiance

Pete Romfh

Really good experience

Ron T

Theater is good. The exhibits outside it are really cool. Saw Pink Floyd show and previously Shackelton both were top notch

Sara Neil

You feel like you are right in the action. The screen is so close it seems you could touch it with your toe.

Patricia Lippitt

The Cuba movie was great. Also enjoyed the Cuban lunch . Spent time in the wonderful gift shop and found some nice gifts.

John Feiler

Always great IMAX films showing. Greg MacGillivray's "Dream Big" is a MUST SEE for all ages!

Christopher M. Sheehan

Great Bear Rain Forest was excellent! Ryan Reynolds narrates and does a good job. Spectacular visuals.

Mark Alcarez

Good. Imax theater. Check Mos website for. Schedule. Show is $10 for. Adults , and 8 for kids. Movies run about an hour. Sit in the middle up high for the best experience. I parking is expensive $17, consider taking the green line instead.

Aditya Basu

It's an awesome and immersive experience. In a way its quite similar to a wearing an Oculus VR headset - but sans the headset. The picture quality was a bit grainy for couple of scenes. I could spot pixels and blurring esp. the ariel shots. However it was a great experience overall!

Chris Cyr

Very cool place given the curved. IMAX screen

Chris Levesque

The visuals remain astounding, even after the decades they have been open. However, the content is boring at times. We watched Volcanos and the focus was more on a photographer's journey to take pictures instead of the science behind them.

Nancy Estella

Great informative movie!!!

donjaime23

Over 20 years later, and it's still one of my favorite things to do in Boston.

Mark Lindenberg

Highly recommend! Best around!

GlockASP

The Mugar Omni Theater at MOS is just amazing.

Simon Tolstopyatenko

The best theater you can go to.

Antoine Benoit

I bring people here when they visit Boston because it's so different. Doesn't really matter the movie. You get lost in the experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Luis Ortiz

An amazing cinematic experience unique to Boston. It is a dome shaped theater that plays mainly IMAX documentaries and is the most immersive film viewing I have ever seen. Why the rest of the country has not caught on to this I cannot say, but it's even better than 3-D or 4-D

Anthony Farr

We watched the Panda movie at the theater as part of our visit to the Science Museum. It was great. Just what you'd expect from an IMAX experience. Everyone in the family loved it.

Aner Alexander

Nice theater. Comfortable and clean. I love love love the reclining seats.

Sephy’s Toy channel

incredible,was really immersed in the experience

Craig Tramack

I was working, playing in the band for a wedding reception. I would highly recommend.

Dave clinton

It's like watch a movie from God's prospective.

Justin Kohl

Very fun to see any movie on the omnitheater. Not a great place for little kids that are adverse to loud noises.

anum gull

OmG .. it was awesome!! The theater experience .. ican never forget

jvmusic 107

Best theater ever. Only OMNIMAX in New England

Will Leitch

Awesome theater. The last film we saw was more of an infomercial on the National Parks, but the theater itself is incredible. Next best thing to being there. Or, in the case of a shark film, even better!

Jacin Halcyon

The Mugar Omni Theater is one of the few 180 degree screen theaters in the Boston area. The programming is always beautifully shot in true IMAX.

Felipe Romano

I watched a documentary in this room and it was amazing! Very large screen, incredible sound and comfortable seats. Besides, the documentary itself (about Australia's Great Barrier Reef) was stunning.

alexis mattos

It was a wonderful experience. I attended with my son and step-daughter on their 6th grade class trip. We had a time for our show. The gentleman doing the show was very knowledgeable and included the audience in the presentation/show.

Dan Ingram

Just as good as its been for 30 years of visits!

Terence Rose

Great show!

George Bennett

The theater is unique, it has a rounded screen which makes it feel like you are surrounded by the movie and totally immersed. This is not like a regular imax. Its a unique and cool experience

Angela VC

The sound check alone is worth the price of admission!

Jonathan Locke

Great barrier reef was pretty good.

Christopher Walsh

Always a fun experience

צילה ירחי

Otro tipo de experiencia para aprender

Christopher Perruzzi

Awesome

Brenna Lindsey

never fails to entertain and educate the family.

Ken S

Mugar Omni - Always a great time, no matter what the show or program is. Just go for the surround screen and sound, a immersive sensory experience, for all ages. Typically under two hours.

sofia hagi

It was an amazing experience!!! You must definitely try it!!!

slashmaster2

Main projector has elevator that lifts projector up to a hole where there is NO GLASS WINDOW as other theaters have that penalizes image quality. They still use 70mm film going sideways as well! :) But if they ever change this, they're going to be losing stars.

michael barker

I love it there

Andrew Lilley

Saw a musical laser show in here. The experience is fantastic, you are surrounded by sound, and mostly in darkness. The visuals are a combination of very ephemeral backgrounds overlaid with symbology in laser form. Get public transport, don't drive.

Tsehay Haile

It's very big and nice

Mark Moseley

Whenever I go to the museum, I have to see a show at the Mugar Omni Theatre. It's a great experience from the start with the wonderful intro by Leonard Nemoy, and the shows are constantly changing and always beautiful.

TheRenee Awesomeness

Rhianna Light Show? Disappointing.

Cam Morin

Amazing experience, they flex their sound system in the beginning of each show that makes it worth it alone.

David Beckmann

The only full Omni IMAX in New England doesn't disappoint!

Matt Caplan

cool laser shows

Frank Vincentelli

This place serves a very specific purpose: to deliver knowledge about Science in the most visually stunning way possible. From that perspective, it delivers in spades. Huge dome screen and awesome sound make the experience immersive and very engaging. Be advised, some of the materials shown can (and do) scare small children, so inquire with the staff to be safe. Seating is comfortable and well maintained, though the theater is quite steep, which can make some adults uneasy. All in all a fantastic experience, and a great way to spend some of your day at the Museum of Science.

Robert Emery

If you've never been definitely find a movie and go. Unique movie experience. Unreal sound and screen. Cheaper than the movies at $10 if Spirit Bear Rainforest is still showing you should definitely see it!

Paul Patrie

We saw The Great Barrier Reef. It was a great movie. You can never go wrong with museum of science. Brings back such great memories. Now it's time to start new ones for my daughter.

Abdul Qader mohammed

Awesome effects .. loved it.

Ilya Grigorik

The screen is huge, but the resolution is lacking, which takes away from the experience. That said, they have some great educational shows and are open late -- a good option to keep in mind for a rainy or a cold day.

Freidlay Steve

Good

Ed Demorizi

Love it

OSKAR WERNER

You pay for the experience.

Seeing a movie here is always a fun treat and highlight of our visit to the MOS. We love the variety of movies that are shown. For educational films, my kiddies are never bored and love them.

Great experience for children and adults alike and cheaper for a family of 4 than a regular movie.

中野誠二

こんな恵まれた環境があることは素晴らしい。大人にとっても興味深いが、子どもたちにはさらに心躍る場所だと思います。科学分野の多くのことが、大変うまく展示されています。手間をかけて、コツコツと分かりやすく展示することに多大な努力を感じます。是非子どもたちと一緒に、好奇心の虜になって、一日中楽しんでください。
