\"Batman<\/a><\/p>\n

The highly anticipated BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is now showing in the revolutionary 4DX cinemas at Nu Metro V&A Waterfront (Cape Town) and The Pavilion (Durban).<\/p>\n

Movie fans in both cities will be able to experience BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE in the fully immersive 4DX-format from today (Thursday, 24 March) \u2013 exclusive to Nu Metro The Pavilion and V&A Waterfront. It promises to give cinemagoers an adrenalin-fuelled, multi-sensory, digital 4D movie experience like no other.<\/p>\n

4DX will be expanding to other regions in South Africa during the next two years, with an agreement in place to eventually have a total of five 4DX cinemas being launched locally at Nu Metro Cinemas.<\/p>\n

Nu Metro Cinemas signed an agreement with CJ 4DPLEX, creator of 4DX last year \u2013 the world\u2019s first 4D cinema technology for feature films \u2013 a partnership that for the first time brings 4DX to Africa. 4DX, which uses motion, vibration, water, wind, lightning, scents, and more to provide moviegoers with a truly immersive experience, has been expanding at a fast pace and, with this deal, will be available in 182 auditoriums across 34 countries, with a goal to reach 300 auditoriums by the first half of 2016.<\/p>\n

Apart from 4DX in Cape Town and Durban, the film is also showing in all other Nu Metro Cinemas nationwide (2D and 3D). It is also the new release for the Scene Xtreme cinemas at Nu Metro Menlyn Park (Pretoria; Dolby 7.1 sound), The Glen (Johannesburg; Dolby 7.1. sound) and Clearwater Mall (Johannesburg; Dolby ATMOS) \u2013 featuring superior all-around sound and enhanced 3D visuals projected via RealD\u2019s Precision White Screen-technology onto large-format screens.<\/p>\n

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is touted to be one of 2016\u2019s biggest blockbusters \u2013 featuring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the leading roles, with an impressive supporting cast including names such as Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter. The film is directed by Zack Snyder, who was also responsible for 300 and MAN OF STEEL.<\/p>\n

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City\u2019s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis\u2019 most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.<\/p>\n

Get ready to be wowed with impressive action scenes, awesome special effects and intense, suspenseful drama when two of the most well-known superheroes clash. The film is based on the original DC Comics characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cNu Metro Cinemas would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the thousands of customers who have supported 4DX with sold out-shows in Cape Town during the past few months. We wanted to give South Africa a truly immersive cinema experience, and it has been embraced as such,\u201d stated Nitesh Matai, GM for Nu Metro Cinemas. \u201c4DX fulfilled those expectations as the new 4DX cinemas involve all five senses for consumers to enjoy a cinema outing like nothing else they\u2019ve seen, heard, or felt before. We are now very excited to have opened the 2nd 4DX cinema in Africa at our state-of-the-art cineplex in Durban\u2019s The Pavilion shopping centre. Get ready KZN, it is going to exceed your wildest cinematic expectations!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c4DX continues to outdeliver non-4D feature film performances around the world, as it expands into new markets, and now to its fifth continent,\u201d said Byung Hwan Choi, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. \u201cNu Metro Cinemas has recently been adding new features and expanding its reach, and we look forward to working with them as both companies continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nu Metro\u2019s Head of Technical was sent to Seoul for 3 weeks to specifically train for certified status to manage the installation of 4DX technology locally. Existing cinemas at Nu Metro The Pavilion and V&A Waterfront have been converted to world-class 4DX cinemas. This process involved the installation of cutting-edge screen and sound technology, special seating pods and other equipment required for the 4DX sensory overload. The installation employed local contractors to complete the process.<\/p>\n

The films screened in 4DX are in HD\/2D and Digital 3D on a silver curved wall-to-wall screen. Its audio system has been upgraded to a Dolby CP750 with 7.1 full surround sound. The Barco projectors used in the cinemas now also use an upgraded lamp for brighter picture in both 2D and 3D.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to install a complete new steel floor structure to be able to handle the 0.3G-force the unit moves with; as well as water, air and scent lines. The complete system uses 24 computers (1 in each of the 21 seats, a motion PC, a monitor PC and a screen server). The \u2018force\u2019 utilises Servo motors and transducers, and not hydraulics, making the movement much smoother and more active. South Africa is in for a total new way of watching movies!\u201d explains Johan van Staden, Nu Metro Cinemas\u2019 Head of Technical.<\/p>\n

Additional features recently introduced by Nu Metro Cinemas at its other sites in South Africa include Scene Xtreme \u2013 which features Dolby Atmos\/Auro 11.1 sound, RealD\u2019s new PWS screens, world-class digital 3D technology as well as 4K Ultra High Definition projection \u2013 and Scene VIP \u2013 adding luxurious, recliner seating, a VIP lounge\/bar and an \u00e0 la carte menu to the cinema experience at select locations.<\/p>\n
