Win some fantastic tickets.
Due to overwhelming public demand, Nu Metro will open Gauteng’s second 4DX cinema soon.
The cinema will open its doors at Nu Metro Menlyn Park in Pretoria on 10 February.
4DX at Nu Metro Menlyn Park will be the first ever 4DX cinema in the capital city.
Nu Metro is the first and only cinema group to premier the revolutionary 4DX cinema format in Africa.
This new cinema experience marks the fourth 4DX cinema for South Africa – following the runaway success of 4DX at Nu Metro V&A Waterfront (Cape Town), The Pavilion (Durban) and Hyde Park (Johannesburg).
4DX pushes the limits of cinema to its ultimate pinnacle.
The 3D visuals on-screen, along with Dolby 7.1 surround sound, are enhanced to the max with effects targeted to submerge the viewer in a fully immersive sensory experience – including wind, water, scent, moving seats, lightning effects and lots more.
4DX transports the viewer to get as close to experiencing the action on-screen as you can get.
“We are excited to introduce Pretoria to the phenomenon. Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg have been truly enjoying and supporting this exclusive cinema experience en masse which takes moviegoers to the next level with a mind-blowing cinema outing at the movies,” explained Nu Metro Cinemas managing executive Nitesh Matai.
“4DX delivers a fully immersive experience like nothing seen, heard, felt or even smelt before. The new 4DX cinemas involve all five senses for customers to enjoy an entertainment destination without comparison,” said Matai.
“Most of the world’s leading filmmakers and the major film studios now work in conjunction with 4DX to convert movies to this format, in sync with the film’s action and general ambience. Nu Metro is the first to show South Africans all the latest blockbusters in this groundbreaking format. Pretoria, get ready to take your movie experiences to new levels of adrenalin-fueled fun.”
The films screened in 4DX are projected in HD/2D and Digital 3D on a silver curved wall-to-wall screen.
Its audio system is the upgraded Dolby CP750 with 7.1 full surround sound.
The Barco projector used in the cinema also uses an enhanced lamp for brighter picture in both 2D and 3D.
“We had to install a complete new steel floor structure in the 4DX cinema to be able to handle the 0.3G-force the unit moves with; as well as water, air and scent lines. The complete system uses 24 computers,one in each of the 21 seats, motion PC, monitor PC and screen server,” said the company’s head of technical, Johan van Staden.
“The ‘force’ utilises Servo motors and transducers, and not hydraulics, making the movement much smoother and more active. Following Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. Pretoria is now also in for a total new way of watching movies.”
The first film to rock our Menlyn Park 4DX will be Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
