International (HKIA) will be a thing of the past once the world's first
airport IMAX cinema opens. Due to welcome its first customers before the end
of June, the new IMAX cinema from Hong Kong cinema chain, UA Cinemas, will
replace the 4D Extreme Screen in terminal two. The IMAX cinema will boast a
giant screen -- 13.8 meters high and 22.4 meters wide -- and 358 seats,
making it the largest of Hong Kong's three IMAX theaters. Hong Kong residents
and visitors are able to access the cinema, as it is landside at the airport.
The cinema will show both 2D and 3D movies, mainly Hollywood blockbusters and
edutainment films. Tickets are likely to cost HK$150, the same as other IMAX
cinemas. read more
