The Kinémax Cinema in the Futuroscope Multimedia Theme Park in west-central France (Chasseneuil-du-Poitou and Jaunay-Clan) opened in 1987. Architect Denis Laming designed the theater and a number of the other structures in the park. Designed to look like crystals emanating from the ground, the theater is reportedly covered with 45,750 ft² of glass panels.
