The Imax Movie Collection For 2009

Another great year, 2009 brought with it still more excellent Imax documentary movies on blu-ray for your home theatre. Six new titles were added to the Imax blu-ray collection and they range from great adventures to beautiful nature films.

On this page you will find more information about each of these documentaries as well as video trailers, which I think are perfect for giving you a sneak peek into the contents of the individual films. You will also find links to more movie lists, movie reviews and product recommendations.

All of the six new Imax films featured on this page are featured in blu-ray because I know that so many of you are looking to find the best nature documentaries for your new home theatres. There is nothing quite as amazing, in terms of sound and video quality, as seeing some of the best Imax films on your HDTV from a blu-ray player. However, all of these films are also available on DVD if you have yet to make the switch to blu-ray. I'm sure there's a great Imax pick on this list for you and your family.

Enjoy the Imax Experience from the comfort of your own home theatre!
