Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to be first 3D Film shown at Odeon Tamworth

Odeon Tamworth this week unveil the latest in cinema technology with the introduction of a Digital 3D screen.  For the first time Tamworth cinema goers will be able to watch the latest in cinema technology, starting Friday with 3D Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Final Destination 3D.

How does it work?

  • The ODEON digital 3D magic is powered by the RealD Cinema System, a ground-breaking digital cinema projection system.
  • During the making of 3D films, two cameras are used for each shot, providing two slightly different viewpoints for every moment. These become separate streams of images – one for each eye.
  • During a 3D film screening, the projector plays a left-eye image, then a right-eye image one after the other, so quickly that you think they’re playing at the same time.
  • Your 3D eyewear shows each eye the correct image and your brain fools you into seeing three dimensions when, in reality, there are just two.
  • All this happens without you even knowing – so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the 3D film.

Linda Spears ODEON administrator said of the new 3D screen:

“You feel like the action is taking place around you rather then in front of you.

“It is only £2.25 (adults) or £2.00 (Children) more than the normal ticket price. It really is a different experience and something I would recommend if you haven’t tried it. It is a real premium viewing experience, immersing you into the on-screen action, with sharp, crystal clear images and sound quality”

Watch out for the cinema times which will be posted on Tamworth Blog Friday morning.
