With around 53 million people making their way through its halls each year, the Hong Kong International Airport has worked hard to offer distractions and attractions to weary travelers.
Add now to the seemingly endless array of shops and dining options add what management is claiming is the world's first IMAX theater at an airport, a HK$20 million (two million euro) complex that features the largest IMAX screen in Hong Kong - at an estimated 13.9 meters high and 22.4 meters wide - that from Thursday will be offering the latest blockbusters presented in the special IMAX format.
According to the theater operators UA Cinemas, the "crystal-clear images, laser-aligned digital sound system as well as immersive theater design" gives the audience the "most immersive movie experience" in either 2D or 3D.
Kicking things off at UA IMAX Theatre @Airport is the 3D version of the smash hit The Amazing Spider-Man.
