NEW HUBBLE 3D WEBSITE LAUNCH
Wednesday, January 27 by Julie Brown
Due out in May this year, Hubble 3D promises to not only take us back into space - as only IMAX can - but also to the edge of time. That's a big call, but when you've got the combined efforts of NASA and IMAX involved, we expect only big results. Like all IMAX space films that have gone before it, Hubble 3D is actually filmed in space by the astronauts themselves.

NEW RELEASE AVATAR TICKETS. MIDNIGHT SATURDAY 30 JANUARY. BOOK NOW.
Wednesday, January 27 by Julie Brown
A new MIDNIGHT session (11.59pm) has been added to our AVATAR 3D schedule for this Saturday 30 January. Demand is extremely high for this extraordinary film, so BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment. Plenty of great seats are still available but they won't last long! The record breaking AVATAR 3D is now the world's biggest grossing film, having toppled Titanic (Avatar director James Cameron's previous film) off its pedestal earlier this year. See it at IMAX in Darling Harbour, on the world's biggest cinema screen.
