Star Wars: The Force Awakens At The New Gateway Dolby Atmos Cinema

Sunday, December 20




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.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the perfect movie to watch at Araneta Gateway Dolby Atmos Cinema. Set around 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, this seventh installment directed by J.J. Abrams follows the adventures of new lead characters Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) as they join forces with original characters Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) to fight Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and his broadsword lightsaber. The film also features Gwendoline Christie as Snoke, and Lupita Nyong'o as Maz Kanata.

Planning to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Don't miss the chance to have a 360-degree experience of the glorious Star Wars saga at Gateway Mall's Dolby Atmos Cinema.
