Imax Cinema

Went to see the movie «Project Almanac» at the print works today, enjoyed it very much.

I like the IMAX. I like the odeon cinema. I do think that it’s needs a bit of refurb though. Also there is never anyone on ice cream. Drives me mad. I also think the combo drink and popcorn isn’t too badly priced if you watching it in the Ritz in Paris. However when then cinema didn’t work properly they staff whew very good and gave us a a free pass result. Or would have been if I didn’t loose it on way to car! All good though. Film was awful though. Lol.

amazing all around surround sound huge screen — saw robocop and it was awesome — lost 1 star as having some heating on would have been nice! it was freezing — lost another star as the nachos (gucamole/​jalepenos) were rank — guess it would have been 5 stars with some heat and a hot dog lol

Great for movies but the food and drink (like most other cinemas) is way over priced.

This vast cinema complex in the heart of the city makes it very popular for students/​adults/​children alike. It holds around 20 cinema screens showing the latest blockbusters but it also has a giant IMAX screen which draws the crowds in even more.
This screen is absolutely vast allowing the audience to be immersed in the film in a way that 3D nor a normal film could even dream of. However, you will pay nearly double the price of a normal ticket for this experience but the choice of film on it can be dependably good.
The service on the ground floor, a good 5 floors below the IMAX screen (imagine the amount of stairs you’ve still got to climb up), can be rather slow at times with the influx of people and the slow service of the staff at the ticket booths. This service is not greatly improved at the refreshment stands either.
In conclusion, for an experience at a price for a blockbuster film, it’s definitely recommended!

Total rubbish. Over priced drinks over priced entry and the wait for tickets took 45 minutes.

One of the best IMAX screens in the country! The staff are always helpful and polite and there’s always a little speech by a staff member before the film starts telling you a few do’s and don’ts. Amazing sound, picture and comfy chairs. Personally I prefer the standard seating to premier as the arm rests seem a bit shorter on the premier seats for some reason. A little on the pricey side but if you wait until Orange Wednesday it’s not bad.

IMAX cinemas are never as good as they’re hyped up to be (unless you’re a massive geek). Still though, they’re worth trying every now and again and are still surprisingly rare. This one is in a good location and these days shows a wider selection than when it first appeared… just showing short screenings from 3d simulator rides.

Odeon’s IMAX situated next to Arndale, inside printworks is too good a theatre to resist. Its a must for all movie buffs to see Action/​sci fi/​animated movies here. I have watched many films here and have got my money’s worth each and every time. You’d expect patchy image quality due to the massive screen, but the quality is excellent. Plus, the sound is also awesome. It’s a complete movie experience.
3D films are a must to be seen here. I have watched both Beowolf and Journey to the centre of the earth here and have enjoyed both these films immensely. Seating is not bad and the premises are also clean. The staff are very helpful and the presence of quick ticket dispensers means that you dont have to wait in long queues to get reserved tickets.
And since it’s situated close to Arndale, you could finish your shopping, have food at Nandos and finish off the day watching a movie in this great theatre.

This cinema is huge!
As its right in the Printworks, you can easily go for a nice meal and a few drinks before or after a film and make a night out of it. There are escalators that always seem to be running and there is also lifts and wheelchair access. its well staffed so you never have to queue long.

For a Great movie experiance you have just got to come here.
The Screen is huge and immense and truly 1 of the biggest in the country.
not only is the Screen immense bit the Sound is out of this world
Seats are very comfortable and well spaced so there is plenty of leg room.
Admission and refreshments are well priced and the staff are polite and cheerfull.

In Manchester, you can’t get a better cinema experience than in this place. The screen is HUGE, the sound is all-​encompassing, and the atmosphere is great. We saw Beowulf here, and pretty much had to change our pants afterwards

Very good cinema, central location in a very easy to find building.
Although the tickets are a little more expensive if you can go and watch a film at the IMAX the screen is HUGE!
I saw Transformers and was completely blown away the action fills your whole field of vision and you feel really immersed in the film.
The cinema also has a number of Normal screens which are all very comfortable and normally tidy.
They have a gallery which is like a posh bit where you can drink beer (you pay for alcohol) and get free soft drinks, nachos and popcorn. The tickets are more expensive but you don’t have to put up with under 18’s which in my opinion is well worth the money.
The service on the normal refreshment stand are painfully slow with no sense of urgency even when the queue is unbelievably long.

The IMAX experience is a must for any avid film fan. The IMAX screen is used for specialist 3D features (I have seen one about Space and one about sharks) and certain feature films also now have extra scenes for IMAX viewing. I recently watched Dark Knight on IMAX and if the film wasn’t impressive enough the screen on which it was shown certainly was (floor to ceiling and dwarfs a normal cinema screen). The IMAX screen isn’t to be confused with the gallery which is just posh seats for a normal screen.
One point to be aware of is that the adverts which normally last around 15 – 20 mins at the start of most films don’t on IMAX. It starts pretty much on the dot so if you dally around the pick’n’mix too long you’ll miss the film!

Simply amazing! Really good to see really fast paced action films here. Go for the superseats for extra comfort, they are well worth the extra money. I always find this cinema to be clean, and the staff to be really polite and friendly. Although the tickets cost more than average cinema tickets, it’s well worth the extra money.

As one of my nearest cinemas and definately most recently built, this is a fabulous cinema.
Its in a great location in the heart of the printworks and with tram and bus stops nearby. Theres plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby if you fancy a drink or bite to eat before or after your film. Theres even a mini supermarket just round the corner if you dont want to fork out for not so cheap popcorn, drinks, sweets or ice cream.
Theres a 3D screen for some films, loads of leg room, loads of screens, and lots of clean tidy toilets.
I’d definately recommend this cinema!!!

Imax is an experience that all cinema buffs should go to. We went to see Beowolf. You are given 3D glasses to wear, they fit easily over normal glasses but can be a little uncomfortable after a while. The screen itself is massive, if you can try to sit near the back or you’ll get neck ache near the front. Legroom is good and the seats comfortable.
It’s a little more expensive than the ordinary 2D films but it’s worth it for the experience, it feels as though you are almost there.

Great IMAX Cinema with a huge screen. The steeply raked seating may not be god if yu hve vertigo, but it does allow you to be seated quite near to the screen so it fills your whole field of vision. You have to actually move your head to take in all the action.
The range of films available on IMAX can be disappointing though.

For a Kick off, the screen in the IMAX is as high as an 8 storey building!!! And, well lets just say its is wider than my house! This is one of the most amazing experiences I have had in a really long time. I too saw the Dark Knight, which had 6 scenes filmed with IMAX cameras which were just masterpeices! The Whole thing about IMAX is that its like a 3d expereice without having to wear the glasses! The screen comes to life and at times you feel like things are coming towards you! Tickets are normally a few pounds more than an average cinema ticket but believe me, WELL WORTH IT!!!

Heaven is Christian Bale as Batman on the MASSIVE screen
Hell is Harvey Two Face Dent on the MASSIVE screen
(I went to see The Dark Knight)
IMAX is a fantastic experience. They also show Formula 1 racing (something I will go along to one day) and 3D movies.
If you’ve delicate ears — take plugs because it is very loud
If you don’t want to be craning your neck for the whole film, either get their early at peak times or book/​pay extra for the Premier seats at the back.
