Recommend me a IMAX 3D cinema in West or Central London?

Which one is best?

Want to watch Avatar. Odeon in Uxbridge does it in 3d but I think this one is worth paying extra for the full monty IMAX 3D.

Which one is best?

The only IMAX place I know is next to the River Thames in Central london on a roundabout.

The southbank one next to Waterloo is what you are thinking of.

The other one is at the science museum, but doesn't show feature films, and doesn't have an 11kw sound system.

Ever used Google?

Oy! It's Tom that asks the questions.

Yup!

Though do watch out for tramps pissing on you when you leave. Oh, and the odd junky tapping you up.

Enjoy, you adventurous soul you....

That's torn it - now you mention tramps and junkies there's no way he'll get there from the underground.

I know his trick now...

I just went to see avatar in 3D in Sydney - Darling Harbour.

Biggest screen in the world


FARKIN AWESOME film !!!..

very very rarely do i use the phrase - 'blown away' by it but it really was something else in 3D.

if you can get to see it - then go.



PS nice warm night, couple of beers after in one of the many excellent bars round the harbour - no tramps at all - a very pleasant evening

Exactly why I am prepared to pay the premium for IMAX and 3D for this film. Just want to make sure I select the best one in London.

I don't think you need to see this in imax but I really think you should see it in 3d. The film was developed with 3d as a fundamental part of it, not so much so that things come out of the screen at you, there's very little of that, but so that you become immersed in it. The view has the same sort of depth cues that real life has so that you're not watching it flat, but you can see into it, see the movement of things within your field of view with much greater perspective.

I was very lucky and saw it at the distributor's (20th Century Fox) private screening room in London, which is supposedly the best set up 3d screen in the country, and you'd hope it would be if you're going to showcase a film like this for critics and judges etc. It's not as big a screen as imax, it's smaller than many cinemas but you're in a small auditorium that's perfectly set up.

I was utterly blown away by it, not by the story which is pretty simplistic, but by the sheer scale of the picture and the utter immersiveness of the film, not to mention the scale of the visual effects, which are on a level never seen in a film before.

Seriously, see it in 3d if you possibly can.
