About John Wick

John Wick is directed by Chad Stahelski and produced by David Leitch, both of whom worked with Reeves as stunt coordinators on all three of The Matrix films, and written by Derek Kolstad.
The film tells the story of an ex-hitman, who comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet riddled playground, John Wick (played by Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the assassin genre.
John Wick has been rated R for strong and bloody violence throughout, language and brief drug use.

ABOUT THE AUTONATION® IMAX THEATER

The AutoNation® IMAX 3D Theater, owned and operated by the Museum of Discovery and Science, opened in 1992. The 300 seat theater is a showcase of state-of-the-art motion picture technology. In September 2014, the theater underwent an extensive renovation including a new giant screen (60 ft. x 80 ft.), new luxury seats, new powerful sound system and the addition of a digital projection system to complement our 15/70 film projector. Our new dual IMAX projection system allows for both digital and 15/70 IMAX films to be shown, offering a more consistent flow of new Hollywood films in addition to our classic documentaries. The IMAX Experience® is an unparalleled fusion of sight and sound. Audiences will enjoy five-story high images of unsurpassed brilliance and clarity as they’re immersed in 32,000 watts of digital surround sound broadcast through 56 speakers. And the special geometry of our theater makes you feel as though you're immersed in the action. You're just not seeing the movie --- you're part of it. Both 2D and 3D films are shown in the theater and 3D films are viewed using special IMAX® 3D glasses.

The AutoNation® IMAX 3D Theater is home to the BIGGEST screen in South Florida and is one of only three Certified Giant Screen® theaters in Florida as certified by the Giant Screen Cinema Association. For show times call 954.463.IMAX (4629) or visit http://www.mods.org/home.htm
