Observations: Here, you the viewer become the main protagonist of the experiences that pass before your eyes, with everything from feature films to avant-garde shorts. The stunning screens at this huge cinema literally surround the spectator. It was opened in 1996 with the latest projection systems and a futuristic architectural design.
Three projection systems, unique in Madrid, make IMAX the most complete and up-to-date cinema: the IMAX system, with a 600 m2 screen, the Omnimax System, with a 900 m2 dome screen, and the IMAX 3D System, where you can enjoy projections in three dimensions.
The IMAX Madrid projection centre combines 2 giant screens and 3 different projection systems in the same building. This new, advanced technology is called Integral IMAX.
The cinema has capacity for 438 people, with 9 seats reserved for disabled persons.
The IMAX cinema is designed in the form of a Roman amphitheatre, with a seating angle of 45º, allowing perfect viewing from any seat. Viewers enjoy the same quality experience whether in the first row or the last.
IMAX Madrid has digital sound rather than the usual optical reproduction. Each and every viewer enjoys 27,000 watts of sound via 6 quadraphonic channels with computer-controlled graphic equalisation. Six powerful speakers, strategically located behind the screen, give a surround effect and homogenous sound quality. The audio becomes spatial and transports you to the very place where the film is taking place.
All this technological wizardry is designed to make viewers live a unique cinema experience.
Besides the programme aimed at the general public, which takes in a broad range of fields, IMAX Madrid also has a special programme for school groups.
Aiming to offer a varied programme to satisfy a range of different tastes and age groups, IMAX Madrid presents a major new release every quarter. This means that the programme for the Omnimax and IMAX 3D systems is renewed periodically.
Hence, at IMAX Madrid you can live experiences as varied as going into the depths of the ocean, driving a racing car or paragliding, all without moving from your seat.
