3 premium screens
Cardiff
There are 3 premium screens in Cardiff, across IMAX, Cineworld Superscreen and 4DX. The biggest picture is at ODEON Cardiff IMAX — 113 m² of lit screen.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Cardiff crops to 1.90 or wider, so a film shot with IMAX cameras will be missing about a quarter of its picture wherever you see it.
Ranked
Scored on the picture each room actually lights, not the fabric it is painted on. A tilde means the projector rests on a single dated source.
Choosing in Cardiff
Screen you will be sold and never see
One room here advertises more screen than any film will light. ODEON Cardiff IMAX leaves 13% dark — 17 m² of fabric that never carries a picture.
Worth leaving Cardiff for
ODEON Luxe Birmingham Broadway Plaza is about 90 mi away and beats everything in Cardiff.
