Website: nescafe-imaxcinema.ru

The Nescafe IMAX cinema next in review with the largest IMAX screen in the capital - its height is almost from a seven-story building, about 20 meters! In combination with a perfect sound system and 3D image, the effect of presence in the most spectacular movies of rentals and popular science films is obtained. Hike in Nescafe IMAX is not like going to a regular cinema, it can rather be equated to a visit to an attraction due to the full effect of presence - visualization at 1: 1 scale makes you feel like a chase hero, traveler, scientist and other heroes without getting up from a comfortable chair.

On the territory of the complex guests are greeted by several cafes, one of them is Nescafe, where you can pass the time while waiting for a session over a cup of aromatic coffee drink.

The only thing that saddens the picture is the difficulty of getting to the cinema without your own car - the mall is located at the junction of the Moscow Ring Road and the Leningradskoye highway, there are no metro stations or public transport stops nearby.

The Illusion cinema, known since 1966, has been surprisingly preserved almost in its original form, it was not affected by reconstruction and modernization: the classic “Soviet” buffet, a large crystal chandelier, a grandiose hall, stucco molding, marble, even the synchronous interpreter's booth remained. In Illusion, films are still shown on film, for young people there is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with silent films accompanied by a taper (musician). Only one room can accommodate 200 people.

There are no rolling blockbusters in the permanent repertoire of the cinema, only clever and rare cinema from the collection of the State Film Fund, which today owns, probably, the last cinema of a bygone era. A full house happens, but mostly from connoisseurs of old cinema, or on premiere shows of unique tapes of unusual directors of "non-pop" cinema. But despite this, some of the modern repertoire can be viewed in 3D, including in the original language.

The hall of the non-standard cinema "Zvezda" is elongated, the screen is located on the end wall, it is small for placing such a configuration, especially since there is no lifting of the floor.
