South Africans will be able to watch the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Africa’a first 4DX cinema.
The seventh instalment of the hugely popular franchise will be the opening title at Nu Metro at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront.
4DX creator ACJ 4DPLEX partnered with Nu Metro Cinemas this year to bring the groundbreaking 4D cinema technology for feature films to South Africa.
4DX uses vibration, motion, water, wind, lightning, scents, and more to provide a truly immersive experience, and is available in 182 auditoriums across 34 countries.
The company aims to reach 300 auditoriums by the first half of 2016.
Nu Metro General Manager Nitesh Matai said: “Nu Metro Cinemas is very excited to open the first ever 4DX cinema for Africa.
“It is a strategic move, fitting our commitment to supplying customers with a fully immersive cinema experience, utilising the best, most up-to-date world-class technology.”
Tickets are R150 each and can be purchased on Nu Metro's website.
