In the US, IMAX has mostly been used for specialty applications. The expense and logistical challenges of producing and presenting IMAX films have led to approximately 40 minutes shorter running times than conventional films. Most are documentaries suited for institutional venues such as museums and [[science museum|science centers]]. IMAX cameras have been used while orbiting the Earth, climbing [[Mount Everest]], exploring the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and visiting the [[Antarctic]]. A film about the [[Mars Exploration Rovers]], titled ''[[Roving Mars]]'' (2006), used exclusive data{{clarify|date=December 2015}} from the rovers.<ref name="IMAX"/>

An early attempt at presenting mainstream entertainment in IMAX format was ''[[Stones at the Max|The Rolling Stones: Live at the Max]]'' (1991), an 85-minute compilation of concert footage filmed in IMAX during the rock band's [[Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour|1990 Steel Wheels tour]], edited to give the impression of a single concert. In the 1990s, more entertainment short films were created, notably ''[[T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous]]'' in 1998, and ''[[Haunted Castle (2001 film)|Haunted Castle]]'' in 2001 (both in 3D). In 1995, French director [[Jean-Jacques Annaud]] directed ''[[Wings of Courage]]'', the first dramatic picture shot for IMAX. In 1998 and 1999, ''[[More (1998 film)|More]]'' and ''[[The Old Man and the Sea (1999 film)|The Old Man and the Sea]]'' became the first short films produced using the IMAX format; both earned Academy Award nominations, with ''Old Man and the Sea'' becoming the only IMAX film to win an Oscar. In 2000, [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] produced ''[[Fantasia 2000]]'', the first full-length animated feature initially released exclusively in the IMAX format.
