Today is a historic day for moviegoers in Sri Lanka as Scope Cinemas proudly unveils its new IMAX®️ Theatre at Havelock City Mall. This state-of-the-art facility introduces the highly-anticipated IMAX®️ with Laser technology, promising an unrivaled cinematic experience that will captivate audiences with its stunning visuals and immersive audio.
IMAX®️, a name synonymous with cutting-edge cinema technology, is set to revolutionise the local moviegoing experience. IMAX®️ with Laser is the pinnacle of IMAX®️’s technological advancements, designed from the ground up to deliver crystal-clear, life-like images and precision audio that transports viewers into the heart of the action. This technology is characterised by a groundbreaking 4K laser projection system featuring a new optical engine and custom-designed lenses. The result is brighter images with increased resolution, deeper contrasts, and the widest range of colours available to filmmakers, ensuring that every scene bursts with vivid detail and realism.
The theatre also features IMAX®️ Precision Sound – patented technology that delivers audio with striking clarity and depth, ensuring perfectly tuned sound that is evenly distributed throughout the cinema. This ensures that every whisper, explosion, and musical note is heard with unparalleled clarity, providing an audio experience that complements IMAX®️’s stunning visuals. Plus, the experience is enjoyable from any seat in the theatre, with IMAX®️ Immersion by Design, which features stadium-style seating that provides a clear vantage point from every seat.
