The first Imax 3D movie cinema in Wales (UK) is set to open in Cardiff Bay mid next month.

The screen specs are: 16.8m wide by 7.7m high. The new stereoscopic 3d cinema will offer crystal-clear 3D images and laser-aligned surround sound clear enough for the audience to pinpoint exactly where each sound is coming from (or so they say  -Ed).

Construction of the 262-seat theatre has already begun and is due to be finished by mid December in time for the silly season rush.Emma Johnstone, marketing and tenant liaison manager for the Red Dragon Centre, said..

“We’re very pleased to be the first venue in Cardiff to host the new Imax screen but to become the first in Wales is a delight for us.

“We’re expecting cinema goers and film fans to be travelling long distances to be among the first to watch the opening film screened on the Imax screen next month.”

The stereo 3D Imax screen will open in the Odeon at the Red Dragon Centre on December 16 (2009) with a screening of James Cameron’s ‘AVATAR’ stereoscopic 3D feature film.
