IMAX @ Meydan: The New Kid on the Block!

Step aside Grand Cinemas, Meydan has recently opened up the UAE's biggest IMAX screen. Kind of makes you think about how much trouble Grand Cinemas will have to go through to edit its promo reel in which it claims that they have the ONLY IMAX screen in town.

Meydan IMAX Theater Sign
Meydan IMAX marked its opening with a red carpet special screening of the TDKR on August 15, 2012. Some 400 people, mostly from media, were there. The cinema does have the biggest IMAX screen for sure but it is its only screen. As soon as you walk in, you notice that they have 2 ticket counters only and probably 1 or 2 snack bar stations.

Ticket Counter
The theater itself is magnificent in size and the surround sound system adds to the movie experience to make it just perfect. There are two prices for the seats: AED 60 and AED 75; of course the higher price being of the best seats in the house.

Definitely worth checking out if the movie is shot in either 3D or IMAX; but definitely the competition will prevail in the 2D movies categories because of the cheaper rates.
