Looking at the Auditorium Info page on the Odeon website, I cannot see any mention of an iSense screen. But, I then clicked on iSense and looked through the list of cinemas in the drop-down menu and sure enough, Milton Keynes Stadium is listed. From there I clicked through the two movies being shown and discovered that screens 1 & 11 both have iSense screens and Dolby Atmos systems installed. Odeon really should update their Auditorium Info on that cinema’s page.
This multiplex only actually has 11-screens, screens 12 to 16 are just the Gallery seat sections to other screens. Which threw me at first seeing so many screens each with very few listed seats.
Well, I shall certainly try and visit this cinema to check out both the IMAX and iSense screens.
There is also apparently a good Atmos installation in the iSense auditorium.
I vaguely recollect a Cinema Technology Magazine feature on this cinema, but on their revamped site most of the back issues are no longer available online and I can’t find it there. Odeon did/do consider it to be a “flagship” site.
BTW, looking at the cinema’s webpage again, the “Auditorium info” section does state that the IMAX screen size is “10.32 metres high by 18.5 meters [sic] wide.”
Nice, finally an IMAX screen outside of London that is (marginally) bigger than Cineworld, Hemel Hempstead and within travelling distance.
Might watch Mission Impossible: Fallout in IMAX there.
According to information on Wikipedia, the Odeon Milton Keynes Stadium IMAX screen is 18.5m by 10.32m (~61x34ft.)—but the citation given is to the cinema’s page on Odeon’s website, and I can’t find the screen size there.
MovieGeek2013: IMAX’s laser projection system also uses DLP chips; the difference is that the light source is laser rather than xenon.
It is not IMAX with Laser. The only two UK cinemas to have that installed are Cineworld (formerly Empire Cinemas) Leicester Square and Cineworld, Sheffield.
Does anyone happen to know the size of the IMAX screen at this cinema?
Is the IMAX screens duel Dlp or the new laser projection?
