ODEON’s iSense screen – one of only five in the UK – is primed and ready for action in its new Barons Quay cinema.

The UK's biggest cinema chain says iSense offers a ‘truly remarkable’ movie-going experience that combines ‘superior levels’ of big-picture quality and ‘breathtaking immersive’ sound.

Odeon describes iSense – not to be confused with IMAX – as the ‘ultimate way to enjoy cinema’.

Viewers will be able to see what all the fuss is about on Thursday, December 15, during the premier of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Duncan Reynolds, managing director at Odeon UK and Ireland, said: “It’s amazing to see the new cinema taking shape and we’re looking forward to sharing the iSense technology with our guests in Northwich.

“The cutting-edge screen offers a truly immersive experience and will definitely make Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a special cinematic experience.”

iSense screens feature 4K digital projectors that deliver almost 9 million pixels – four times the resolution of a standard screen.

The screen measures 15.35m wide x 6.4m high and is curved to maximise light reflection. 4K digital projectors deliver almost nine million pixels for a clearer and more detailed picture.

Featuring floor-to-ceiling Dolby ATMOS sound, the new screen is designed to deliver fully immersive 3D sound for an ultra-high definition cinema experience.

The new five screen, 707-seat cinema will sit at the heart of Barons Quay overlooking the River Weaver. The iSense theatre features 235 seats.

Andy Elvis, general manager at Odeon Northwich said: “The iSense installation marks the official countdown to opening and we’re delighted that excitement has reached an all-time high.

“The team are looking forward to welcoming guests on the opening night and we’re excited to be opening in time for the biggest blockbuster of the year.”

Tickets for adults for the midnight screening of Rogue One on the opening night cost £13.50. Children under 12 will pay £11 and teenagers aged 13 to 17 will pay £12.

Family tickets are available for £44. Prices will vary depending on viewing times.
