The Kai Tak AIRSIDE shopping mall was unveiled, and the “MCL AIRSIDE Cinema” also officially opened today (28th). The biggest feature of the theater is the large 19 x 9-meter RealD ultimate screen. In addition to the middle position, even the side positions can provide a highly enveloping film and television experience. Just wait for the editor to go and have a look with everyone right away.

Kai Tak AIRSIDE Shopping Mall is located next to Kai Tak MTR Station, Kai Tak Government Offices Industrial and Trade Building/Taxation Centre, at the junction of Concord Road roundabout at Sye Wan Road and opposite the garden at San Po Kong Interchange at Prince Edward Road East (driving eastbound, you need to enter at ” Regal Oriental Hotel – Kowloon City Interchange” bus stop, keep left and go up the flyover to Kai Tak). Take the bus and get off at the “Prestige Harbourfront” bus stop, enter the Mikiki Shopping Center flyover and go directly to the opposite side. The mall occupies a large area, and the theaters are located on the 5th and 6th floors of the mall. A total of 7 theaters provide 916 seats and 28 wheelchair seats.

When you go to this theater, you must try the 1-theater LUXE super giant screen theater, which has a 19 x 9-meter RealD ultimate screen. In addition to the extra-large screen, the screen is full of brightness. The main reason is that the screen made with new technology has a reflectivity as high as 92%, which allows the light from the 4K laser player to be reflected on the screen to the extreme. The 3D brightness can reach 12FL, and the 2D brightness can reach 20FL. The luminosity is 2 times that of ordinary screens.

MCL introduced at the scene that general screens have the problem of being bright in the middle and dark around them, and many friends are unwilling to buy side seats because of this. However, the RealD ultimate screen has greater reflectivity, which also makes the reflection half angle larger, making the theater absolutely perfect. Most seats have a satisfactory visual experience, so you can buy side seats with more confidence when buying a flight.

▲LUXE RealD screen features ultra-high reflectivity, providing 2 times the luminosity of ordinary screens

▲To comply with the LUXE Real D standard, the 2D brightness must reach 20FL, the 3D brightness must reach 12FL, and a Dolby Atmos surround sound system is required.

▲Introducing the 92% reflectivity of the screen

▲The reflectivity is increased, which increases the reflection half angle, so you can see a picture with satisfactory brightness from the side.

▲More uniform brightness turns more seats into “golden seats”

▲Special material improves reflectivity

▲In comparison, the picture viewed from the side is brighter and more uniform.

Real test: the sides are bright and bright

The editor tried out the actual look and feel of different seats. Test the show in the middle, right of center, and right seats respectively. I found that except for the slight deviation in the angle of the center-right seat, the luminosity of the screen seemed to be almost the same as that of the center seat, and the luminosity of the entire screen was close to completely uniform. Even in the right row of seats, the overall brightness of the screen is very good.

Positive middle:

The center row is off to the right (because the entire screen needs to be captured, a super wide-angle lens is used in the following photos, resulting in a trapezoidal phenomenon in the image, and the actual screen deformation seen is only very small):

Seats in the right row on the side (because the entire screen needs to be photographed, the following photos use a super wide-angle lens, resulting in a trapezoidal phenomenon in the picture, and the actual screen deformation seen is only very small):

1 The seats in the theater are arranged in an ascending order, so people in front will not block you from watching the show. You can get a very good visual experience in the lines E, F, G, H, I, and J. The theater audio equipment is Dolby Atmos sound system and JBL professional speakers, which have a good sense of envelopment and heavy bass.

To celebrate the opening of MCL AIRSIDE Cinema, 2D tickets are only HK$80, and there is a buy 1 get 1 free promotion for 4 days from September 28 to 30. All theaters will be half-priced on October 1st, and tickets are on sale from now on.

“Hong Kong Classic Series” broadcasts “The Bloody Heroes”

Starting from October, “MCL AIRSIDE Cinema” will launch the “Hong Kong Classic Series” every month, with the first highlight being “The Legend”, which was released in 1989 and was directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun-fat, Li Xiuxian and Ip Chan-man. This film is hailed as John Woo’s most perfect work. It received 7 nominations at the 9th Hong Kong Film Awards and brought John Woo the “Best Director” honor. The violent aesthetics and fierce gun battles in big houses and churches shown in the movie have become a model for Hong Kong action movies. It was named one of the “100 Must-See Hong Kong Movies” by the Hong Kong Film Archive. “The Legend” has been scheduled for a limited screening at the LUXE Super Giant Screen Cinema on October 29. Tickets will be on sale in the afternoon of October 4. The number of seats is limited and while supplies last.
