IMAX Cinema Birmingham

The biggest movie screen in the Midlands: as high as a five storey building and as wide as four buses. The great range of fantastic IMAX 2D and 3D films will put you right in the heart of the action.

For excitement, scale and sheer sensory overload nothing comes close to the IMAX experience. With a screen as high as a five storey building and as wide as four buses nose to tail, 2D presentations are spectacular enough, but the special 3D films will have people reaching out to touch the images on the screen. The crystal clear picture and 42 speakers of digital surround sound ensure a truly captivating experience. You'll never look at a trip to the cinema in the same way again!

Some films are made using IMAX DMR technology. This is a process by which a conventional 35mm cinema film is digitally re-mastered into IMAX's larger than life format.

Each individual 35mm frame is converted to high res digital format; the IMAX DMR software then removes the 35mm grain structure and creates an enhanced IMAX version with incredible visual clarity. Once the process is complete, the film format is 10 times larger than its original size!
