THE region’s first digital IMAX cinema screen is due to open at Gateshead MetroCentre on December 16.
In the fast developing world of cinema technology, there are always novelties around the corner – but the people behind the new Odeon Gateshead are confident they are going to make jaws drop.
The new Odeon MetroCentre will have 12 screens including the IMAX with its digital capabilities.
Here’s what they say: “IMAX offers the world’s most immersive big screen film experience with crystal clear digital images in 2D or IMAX 3D combined with state-of-the-art, laser-aligned sound and a customised auditorium layout for maximum impact.”
Its capabilities will be put to the test over the cinema’s opening weekend with screenings of James Cameron’s new 3D blockbuster, Avatar.
