Tron (2010) was interesting enough to watch and it was 10 out of 10
for eye candy. I am not as into SciFi anymore, but I am guessing that
it makes it easier for eye candy.
Speaking of SciFi, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) was a very
good SciFi. Not much eye candy though.
More suggestions?

"What Dreams May Come" - Mediocre script, but each frame looks like a
Maxfield Parrish painting.

I have never been to one, but apparently my closest one, The Science Center
of Iowa, is the real deal.

IMAX in a theater = Overrated.
Expect to be disappointed with the scenes that don't use the entire screen
in an IMAX film. It's black bars on top and bottom, no better than watching
a movie in letterbox--at the theater I was in they didn't even hide the
black bars with curtains and the lights were not fully out as well.
The movie I watched was the overhyped and disappointingly acted film, The
Dark Knight. Promising 30 minutes of IMAX scenes--and those scenes did fill
the entire screen--still did not make up for the rest of the movie appearing
as it was letterboxed which looked like crap on a white theater screen.
(Yes, I know those are intentional hard-matted black bars for parts of the
filming that are not intended to be seen.)

Christian Bale's gruff-sounding Batman character voice was annoying
throughout, and Heath Ledger just sort of acting the Joker as sardonic
rather than actually evil. (Compare and contrast vs. how Jack Nicholson
acted as the Joker in the Tim Burton directed Batman movie--Heath Ledger was
nowhere near as good, IMHO.)
But my main point was that even with 30 minutes of IMAX--showing panoramic
scenery and building shots--the rest of the film was the letterbox effect
with the black bars on the top and the bottom--especially projected on a
white screen in the theater. If that was true IMAX, again, I think that was
overrated.

depressing and wanted to digress on the actual content of a movie
for a second. :)
