Hulu Streaming 16 IMAX Documentaries This Summer

IMAX screens may be closed for the time being, and even if they open again soon, you might not feel comfortable venturing out to one. Don't worry, Hulu has you covered. This summer, the streaming service is offering 16 IMAX documentaries for your viewing pleasure. Granted, they might not be as impressive at home as they'd be on gigantic IMAX screens, but beggars can't be choosers these days, folks.

Feel free to order the world's biggest TV off of Amazon, along with a massive sound system, and recreate the IMAX experience at home! Or...ya know, just watch these on a normal TV.
