New IMAX projector looks like WOPR

The All In London Blog

The future of cinema technology arrives at The Empire Leicester Square on 2nd October with it's new projection system. And best of all it looks like WOPR from War Games.

London's IMAX will be the first cinema in Europe to launch the new technology: "IMAX with laser", and will give audiences the sharpest, brightest, clearest and most vivid digital images ever, as well as a treat for your ears with a whole new level of immersive audio.

Here's the technical bit: The dual 4K laser projection system is equipped with a new optical engine and suite of proprietary IMAX technologies capable of projecting an image with maximum resolution and sharpness, unparalleled 2D and 3D brightness, industry-leading contrast and an expanded colour gamut that will allow filmmakers to present more vivid and exotic colours than ever before. The new system also includes IMAX’s next-generation sound technology that delivers even greater power and precision for ultimate audio immersion.

In short, it's going to be the best way to watch cinema in London.

Your first chance to enjoy this technology will be with Sony Picture’s The Walk on 2nd October.
