     Delivery of this letter of transmittal to an address other than as set
forth above, or transmission of this Letter of Transmittal via facsimile to a
number other than as set forth above, will not constitute a valid delivery.
Please read this entire Letter of Transmittal carefully before completing any
box below.

     The undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it has received this Letter of
Transmittal (the "Letter") and the Prospectus, dated                , 2004
(the "Prospectus"), of IMAX Corporation (the "Company") or, if resident in
Canada, the Canadian Offering Memorandum dated           , 2004 (the "Canadian
Offering Memorandum"), relating to its offer to exchange up to $160,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 9 5/8% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "New
Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), for a like principal amount of its issued and
outstanding 9 5/8% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "Old Notes") from the registered
holders thereof (the "Holders"). The Prospectus (or, for Canadian residents, the
Canadian Offering Memorandum) and this Letter of Transmittal together constitute
the Company's offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") its Old Notes for a like
principal amount of its New Notes from the Holders.


     As described herein, all Old Notes properly tendered for exchange will
either be exchanged for New Notes or will be returned promptly after the
termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer. For each Old Note accepted for
exchange, the Holder of such Old Note will receive a New Note having a principal
amount equal to that of, and representing the same indebtedness or that
represented by, the surrendered Old Note. The New Notes will accrue interest
from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Old Notes
or, if no interest has been paid on the Old Notes, from the issue date of the
Old Notes. Accordingly, registered Holders of New Notes on the relevant record
date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the
Exchange Offer will receive interest accruing from the last interest payment
date on which interest was paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the issue
date of the Old Notes. Old Notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue
interest from and after the date of consummation of the Exchange Offer. Holders
of Old Notes whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will not receive any
payment in respect of accrued interest on such Old Notes otherwise payable on
any interest payment date the record date for which occurs on or after
consummation of the Exchange Offer. If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted
for any reason described in the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer
(including the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer), such unaccepted
or such nonexchanged Old Notes will be returned promptly without expense to the
tendering Holder thereof (if in certificated form) or credited to an account
maintained with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as described below) after the
expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.


<PAGE>

     This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a Holder of Old Notes
either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if a tender of
certificates for Old Notes, if available, is to be made by book-entry transfer
to the account maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company
("DTC") (the "Book-Entry Transfer Facility") pursuant to the procedures set
forth in "The Exchange Offer--Book-Entry Transfer" section of the Prospectus.
Holders of Old Notes whose certificates are not immediately available, or who
are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their Old Notes
into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (a
"Book-Entry Confirmation") and all other documents required by this Letter of
Transmittal to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must
tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth
in "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of the
Prospectus. See Instruction 1. Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

     List below the Old Notes to which this Letter of Transmittal relates. If
the space provided below is inadequate, the certificate numbers and principal
amount of Old Notes should be listed on a separate signed schedule affixed
hereto.

     If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that
it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of New
Notes. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its
own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges and
represents that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act, in connection with any resale of such New Notes; however, by so
acknowledging and representing and by delivering such a prospectus the
undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will
receive New Notes, it represents that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New
Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities. In addition, such broker-dealer represents that it is not acting on
behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing
representations.

              PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of Old
Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for
exchange of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns
and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and
interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered hereby.

     The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange
Agent as the undersigned's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with
respect to such tendered Old Notes, with full power of substitution, among other
things, to cause the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged.

     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has
full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes, and
to acquire New Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Old Notes, and
that, when such Old Notes are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire
good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions,
charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are
accepted by the Company. The undersigned hereby further represents and warrants
that any New Notes acquired in exchange for Old Notes tendered hereby will have
been acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such
New Notes, whether or not such person is the undersigned, that neither the
Holder of such Old Notes nor any such other person is participating in, intends
to participate in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of
Old Notes or New Notes, that neither the Holder of such Old Notes nor any such
other person is an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act,
of the Company, and that neither the Holder of such Old Notes nor such other
person is acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the
foregoing representations and warranties.

     The undersigned, in the case only of residents of Canada, represents and
warrants that it:

     (a)  is resident in the Province of British Columbia, Alberta,
          Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick or Prince
          Edward Island and is entitled under the applicable provincial
          securities laws to acquire the New Notes without the benefit of a
          prospectus qualified under those securities laws and, in the case of
          provinces other than Ontario, without the services of a dealer
          registered pursuant to those securities laws;

     (b)  is basing its investment decision solely on the Canadian Offering
          Memorandum dated            , 2004 and not on any other information
          concerning the Company or the New Offer;

     (c)  has reviewed and acknowledges the terms referred to under the heading
          "Resale Restrictions" in the Canadian Offering Memorandum;

     (d)  if in Ontario, is an "accredited investor" as defined in Ontario
          Securities Commission Rule 45-501 ("Rule 45-501"), and is not an
          individual unless purchasing from a fully registered dealer within the
          meaning of Section 204 of the Regulation to the Securities Act
          (Ontario);

     (e)  if in Quebec, is: (i) a government, department or agency referred to
          in Section 43 of the Securities Act (Quebec); (ii) a "sophisticated
          purchaser" within the meaning of Section 44 of the Securities Act
          (Quebec); or (iii) a "sophisticated purchaser" within the meaning of
          Section 45 of the Securities Act (Quebec) purchasing for the portfolio
          of a person managed solely by it;

     (f)  if in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba or Prince
          Edward Island, is an "accredited investor" as defined in Multilateral
          Instrument 45-103 ("MI 45-103);

     (g)  if in New Brunswick, is purchasing New Notes as principal in an amount
          not less than Cdn. $97,000; and


                                       4


<PAGE>

     (h)  is either purchasing New Notes as principal for its own account, or is
          deemed to be purchasing New Notes as principal for its own account in
          accordance with the applicable securities laws of the province in
          which such purchaser is resident, by virtue of being either: (i) a
          designated trust company; (ii) a designated insurance company; (iii) a
          portfolio manager; or (iv) another entity similarly deemed by those
          laws to be purchasing as principal for its own account when purchasing
          on behalf of other beneficial purchasers.

     By acquiring New Notes under the Exchange Offer, each Canadian resident
acknowledges that its name and other specified information, including the
principal amount of New Notes it has acquired, may be disclosed to Canadian
securities regulatory authorities and may become available to the public in
accordance with the requirements of applicable laws. The tendering holder
consents to the disclosure of that information. Each tendering holder of New
Notes in Canada hereby agrees that it is such tendering holder's express wish
that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the offer and sale of
New Notes be drafted in the English language only. Chaque acheteur au Canada des
valeurs mobilieres reconnait que c'est sa volonte expresse que tous les
documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque maniere a l'offert et vente
des valeurs mobilieres soient rediges uniquement en anglais.

     The undersigned acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in
reliance on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), as set forth in no-action letters issued to third
parties, that the New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange
for the Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by
Holders thereof (other than any such Holder that is a broker-dealer or an
"affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities
Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery
provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in
the ordinary course of such Holder's business, at the time of commencement of
the Exchange Offer such Holder has no arrangement or understanding with any
person to participate in a distribution of such New Notes, and such Holder is
not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such New
Notes. However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of
a no-action letter and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would
make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other
circumstances. If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned
represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a
distribution of New Notes and has no arrangement or understanding to participate
in a distribution of New Notes. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will
receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it represents
that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges
that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act
in connection with any resale of such New Notes; however, by so acknowledging
and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act,
the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act.

     The SEC has taken the position that such broker-dealers may fulfill their
prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the New Notes (other than a
resale of New Notes received in exchange for an unsold allotment from the
original sale of the Old Notes) with the Prospectus. The Prospectus, as it may
be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by certain
broker-dealers (as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement referenced in
the Prospectus) ("Participating Broker-Dealers") for a period of time, starting
on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business 90 days after the
Expiration Date in connection with the sale or transfer of such New Notes. The
Company has agreed that, for such period of time, it will make the Prospectus
(as it may be amended or supplemented) available to such a broker-dealer which
elects to exchange Old Notes, acquired for its own account as a result of market
making or other trading activities, for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer
for use in connection with any resale of such New Notes. By accepting the
Exchange Offer, each broker-dealer that receives New Notes pursuant to the
Exchange Offer acknowledges and agrees to notify the Company prior to using the
Prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of New Notes and that, upon
receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event which makes any
statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the
making of any changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein
(in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, such
broker-dealer will suspend use of the Prospectus until (i) the Company has
amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission
and (ii) either the Company has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented
Prospectus to such broker-dealer or, if the Company has not otherwise agreed to
furnish such copies and declines to do so after such broker-dealer so requests,
such broker-dealer has obtained a copy of such amended or supplemented
Prospectus as filed with the SEC. Except

                                       5


<PAGE>

as described above, the Prospectus may not be used for or in connection with an
offer to resell, a resale or any other retransfer of New Notes. A broker-dealer
that acquired Old Notes in a transaction other than as part of its market-making
activities or other trading activities will not be able to participate in the
Exchange Offer.

     The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the
sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby. All authority
conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter and every obligation of the
undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of
the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or
incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance
with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Withdrawal of Tenders"
section of the Prospectus.

     Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Issuance
Instructions" below, please deliver the New Notes (and, if applicable,
substitute certificates representing Old Notes for any Old Notes not exchanged)
in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of Old
Notes, please credit the account indicated above maintained at the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled
"Special Delivery Instructions" below, please send the New Notes (and, if
applicable, substitute certificates representing Old Notes for any Old Notes not
exchanged) to the undersigned at the address shown above in the box entitled
"Description of Old Notes."

THE UNDERSIGNED, BY COMPLETING THE BOX ENTITLED "DESCRIPTION OF OLD NOTES" ABOVE
AND SIGNING THIS LETTER, WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE TENDERED THE OLD NOTES AS SET
FORTH IN SUCH BOX ABOVE.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING ANY

     integral multiple thereof.

     Holders whose certificates for Old Notes are not immediately available or
     who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to

     complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may
     tender their Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set
     forth in "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of
     the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (i) such tender must be made
     through an Eligible Institution (as defined herein), (ii) prior to 5:00
     P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must
     receive from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly
     executed Letter (or a facsimile thereof) and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,

     transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and address of
     the Holder of Old Notes and the amount of Old Notes tendered, stating that
     the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New
     York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") trading days after the date of execution of

     Confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by this
     Letter will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange
     Agent, and (iii) the certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in

     Exchange Agent within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution
     of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

     The method of delivery of this Letter, the Old Notes and all or any other
     required documents is at the election and risk of the tendering Holders,
     but the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or
     confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If Old Notes, this Letter and all other

     certificate are to be tendered, the tendering Holder(s) should fill in the
     aggregate principal amount of Old Notes to be tendered in the box above
     entitled "Description of Old Notes--Principal Amount Tendered." A reissued
     certificate representing the balance of nontendered Old Notes will be sent

     on this Letter, promptly after the Expiration Date.

     ALL OF THE OLD NOTES DELIVERED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE

3.   SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER; BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS; GUARANTEE OF
     SIGNATURES. If this Letter is signed by the registered Holder of the Old
     Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name
     as written on the face of the certificates without any change whatsoever.

     If any tendered Old Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners,
     all of such owners must sign this Letter.

     If any tendered Old Notes are registered in different names on several

     or separate bond powers are required. If, however, the New Notes are to be
     issued, or any untendered Old Notes are to be reissued, to a person other
     than the registered Holder, then endorsements of any certificates
     transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required. Signatures on such
     certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

     If this Letter is signed by a person other than the registered Holder or
     Holders of any certificate(s) specified herein, such certificate(s) must be
     accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in either case signed exactly as
     the name or names of the registered Holder or Holders appear(s) on the
     certificate(s) and signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by
     an Eligible Institution.

     If this Letter or any certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees,
     executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
     corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity,
     such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the
     Company, proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to
     so act must be submitted.

     Letter. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer
     identification or social security number of the person named must also be

5.   TRANSFER TAXES. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable
     to the transfer of Old Notes to it or its order pursuant to the Exchange
     Offer. If, however, New Notes and/or substitute Old Notes not exchanged are
     to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any
     person other than the registered Holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby,
     or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other
     than the person signing this Letter, or if a transfer tax is imposed for
     any reason other than the transfer of Old Notes to the Company or its order
     pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes
     (whether imposed on the registered Holder or any other persons) will be
     payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of
     such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of
     such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder.

     Except as provided in this instruction 6, it will not be necessary for
     transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the old notes specified in this
     letter.

6.   WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive

     execution of this Letter, shall waive any right to receive notice of the
     acceptance of their Old Notes for exchange.

     Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated
     to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of
     Old Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any
     such notice.

8.   MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED OLD NOTES. Any Holder whose Old Notes
     have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Exchange

     time prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

     of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set
     forth above prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date

     Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Old Notes exchanged, (v) be
     signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the
     Letter by which such Old Notes were tendered (including any required
     signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer to have
     the Trustee with respect to the Old Notes register the transfer of such Old
     Notes in the name of the person withdrawing the tender and (vi) specify the
     name in which such Old Notes are registered, if different from that of the
     Depositor. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility
     (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the
     Company, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any
     Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered

     retendered. Any Old Notes that have been tendered for exchange but which
     are not exchanged for any reason (including the termination or withdrawal
     of the Exchange Offer) will be returned to the tendering Holder thereof
     without cost to such Holder (or, in the case of Old Notes tendered by
     book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry
     Transfer Facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures set forth
     in "The Exchange Offer--Book-Entry Transfer" section of the Prospectus,
     such Old Notes will be credited to an account maintained with the
     Book-Entry Transfer Facility for the Old Notes) promptly after withdrawal,
     rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly
     withdrawn Old Notes may be retendered by following the procedures described
     above at any time on or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
     Expiration Date with respect to such series of Old Notes.
