I was so privileged to be among the first to have watched the seventh installment of the Star Wars film series and at the same time experience it at the biggest Dolby Atmos Cinema in the Philippines.
Featuring a revolutionary audio platform that creates powerful, moving audio using audio objects and overhead speakers, Araneta Gateway Mall's Dolby Atmos Cinema boasts of sounds that come from all directions, the dialogue and music of the onscreen story move all around the audience in three-dimensional space, transporting them into the scenes and putting them in the middle of the action. Definitely the most suitable venue for the much-awaited movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
"We are very excited to screen Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Gateway Dolby Atmos Cinema 5. With its revolutionary sound technology, the theater will be filled with breathtaking audio and the audience will feel like they are inside the Star Wars universe. This will definitely be a fantastic and world-class movie experience not just for Star Wars fans but for the whole family.", says Araneta Group CEO Jorge Araneta.
Compared to regular theaters, Dolby Atmos Cinema has the most number of speakers with a 53.5 sound system (53 individual surround channels and 5 subwoofers). Each speaker is powered independently and gets its own separate audio feed. In effect, the movement of every sound in the scene is reproduced in all three dimensions.
The Dolby Atmos technology gives content creators unprecedented control of the placement and movement of sound within the movie theater. Sounds can be placed and moved anywhere in the cinema's three-dimensional space. The Dolby Atmos Cinema processor then determines which of a cinema's huge array of front, back, side, and overhead speakers it will use to recreate lifelike movement.
With sounds coming from all directions, the cinema is filled with astonishing clarity, richness, detail, and depth. This creates a multidimensional sound system that makes audiences feel as if they are part of the film and not just watching it.
