SM to bring IMAX theater to Cebu if people are ready

Marissa Fernan, SM senior assistant vice president for marketing for Visayas and Mindanao, said if Cebuanos “are ready” for IMAX, SM will bring the technology to its mall in Cebu.

The technology will cost SM Prime Holdings Inc., owner of SM shopping malls, millions of pesos, though.

Fernan said the IMAX theater at the Mall of Asia, which opened last Sunday, costs about P80 million.

There is a question of financial viability too, as some people might balk at the fee to watch an IMAX film.

The entrance fee to documentary films like Nascar, which was shown at the IMax theater at the Mall of Asia for guests during the mall’s ceremonial opening last Saturday, is pegged at P150 while that for Hollywood blockbuster movies might cost around P250 per person.

HOW IMAX WORKS:

IMAX CAMERAS AND FILM
IMAX cameras are specifically designed to shoot 15 perforation, 70 mm film (15/70) - the world's largest film format. Weighing between 42 and 100 pounds, these cameras are extremely versatile and can be used in virtually any environment. They have been to space, explored the ocean floor, climbed Mt. Everest and traveled the globe.

IMAX PROJECTORS AND FILM
IMAX projectors are the most powerful in the world. The key lies in the Rolling Loop technology which advances the film in a wave-like motion at 24 frames per second. During projection, each frame is positioned on fixed registration pins and a vacuum holds the film flat against the rear lens element. When combined with IMAX 15/70 film they project images of immense size, sharpness and clarity.

IMAX SCREENS AND SOUND
To complete the effect of the IMAX digital surround sound system, the huge IMAX flat screens and dome screens are perforated with thousands of tiny holes to allow the crystal clear sound to flow through freely.

No, I was just saying I've seen a trailer in SM cinema cebu endorsing the IMAX technology...

But I do know this: You can even see through the hairs of the nose of a bushy-chinned character ;b

Seriously now I even hear rumors that Spielberg was planning to make a 4-walled cinema where top, bottom, front back and sides of the theater have projected images of the film.

In my opinion, nganong magpabongog pa man ta? Regular cinemas will do

LOL!

**Although there are some cinematic experiences for particular movies that might be enhanced through IMAX...
