James Cameron's "Avatar" is a groundbreaking action-packed sci-fi epic adventure. This must-see film which holds the title of highest grossing film of all time, has won over 30 Awards including 3 Oscars. This film is set to conquer the box office once again with the release of the Special Edition version which includes an extra 8 and a half minutes of never before seen footage! It takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save a civilization.

In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet 'Alpha Centauri B-4', also known as 'Pandora'. It is a world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing life forms. It’s also a world that harbours treasures and resources almost beyond price. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit this exotic planet. Just as the original Pandora's Box wrought devastation on those who would use it for their own gain, so too this world may destroy not just the Pandorans’ home, but ours as well.

Avatar 3D is an action-packed thriller bursting with stunning visual effects, and boasts an award-winning cast and crew. See every detail of this film come to life in 3D on the huge IMAX Screen, where images appear up to 10x larger and 7x clearer than in an ordinary cinema. Think IMAX, Think Big.PLEASE NOTE: The film will start at the stated time. Please arrive 20 minutes prior to film start to collect your tickets.
