The wait is over and Pakistan is to finally get its very own IMAX Screen. Cinestar Cinema of Lahore is behind this great feat and has been working for the past two years to bring IMAX to Pakistan. If you remember Cinestar was the very cinema which brought 3D to Lahore for the first time and now its brinnging a whole new form of entertainment to Pakistan. The announcement of the new screen opening up was made on the facebook page of Cinestar Cinema.
What exactly is an IMAX you ask? Well for those who dont know:-
“IMAX (an acronym for Image MAXimum) is a motion picture film format and a set of cinema projection standards which has the capacity to record and display images of far greater size and resolution than conventional film systems.” (WIkipedia)
Basically the screen size is huge, the sound and picture quality is a gazillion times better, and the entire experience is just worth it. As IMAX says “You an see a movie or be a part of one” and with IMAX you can be a part of the movie. Currently its only Hollywood thats churning IMAX films but India also had its first IMAX release in the face of Dhoom3. As for Pakistan all we can say is soon!
The newly built IMAX which is located right next to Cinestar Cinema 3D cinema will have a preview on Thursday and regular shows will open on Friday. Here are some photos from the cinema . Enjoy!
