General Description
 
The Omni-Theatre or known also as the IMAX theatre is one of the central attractions of the Science Centre Singapore.  If you want to experience a thrilling cinematic experience that has a wide overall coverage and a realistic experience, this is something you should not miss. The Omni-Theatre has five-storey high and 23 metre diameter hemispheric giant screen and sophisticated sound systems in which visitors can visually immerse into the movies shown.
 

The Omni-Theatre is a specially designed theatre equipped with state-of-the-art IMAX dome technology. It is Singapore’s only dome-shaped theatre with a capacity of 276 seats. The theatre screens large format films which provides the industry’s highest standard of clarity. The 15 perforation/70mm film frame is 10 times larger than that of conventional 35mm film used in cinemas.

It also features a massive hemispheric screen, 23m in diameter and 16m in height (or 5-storey high) which stretches 180o horizontal from wall to wall and is tilted at a 30o angle to the horizon. Together with 72 amplifiers, which produce 20,000 watts of surround sound, audiences are transported right into the action.

The Omni-Theatre provides audiences with an immersive, premium cinematic experience, which is both exciting and educational.
