Ikebukuro "Grand Cinema Sunshine" opens on July 19th.Preview report such as Japan's largest IMAX

On Friday, July 19, 2019, the long-awaited cinema complex "Grand Cinema Sunshine" for movie fans and AV fans will finally be born in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

A preview report made before the opening of "Grand Cinema Sunshine" Everything is the first one. This is the first movie theater in Japan to introduce an RGB laser projector on all 12 screens. In addition, "IMAX GT Technology", which was previously only available at "109 Cinemas Osaka Expocity" in Osaka, will open for the first time in Tokyo, and the latest "ScreenX" 3-screen multi-screen and "4DX" attraction theater can be enjoyed at the same time. Hybrid equipment "ScreenX with 4DX" will be the first in Japan. Grand Cinema Sunshine is a 12-screen 2,443-seat cinema complex operated by Sasaki Kogyo, and will open in the commercial building "Q Plaza Ikebukuro" located on Sunshine City Street at the east exit of Ikebukuro. Grand Cinema Sunshine will be a facility inside "Q Plaza Ikebukuro" ■ Entrance & installation for movie fans The first thing that catches the eye is to create a space with installation art produced by the famous domestic creative studio "WOW". ing. A spherical object "Light Sculpture" welcomes you in the entrance lobby on the 4th floor. Looking up at the foyer ceiling in front of the IMAX theater on the 12th floor of the top floor, there is a huge LED vision "Motion Ceiling" of 10m x 31m, and the trailer of the latest work and art motion graphics are displayed. The building structure of the entrance lobby giant LED vision "Motion Ceiling" theater on the 4th floor is vertical, and you can go up to each floor by escalator. This is similar to Shinjuku Piccadilly and Shinjuku Wald 9, and the approach to the screen upstairs is long and time consuming. Therefore, "movie elements" are studded throughout the space such as foyer, corridor (corridor), and restroom on each floor. Masterpiece posters and scene photos are displayed on the wall of the escalator where masterpiece posters and scene photos are lined up, and award-winning film list plates such as "Academy Award", "Cannes International Film Festival" and "Berlin International Film Festival" are displayed on each floor. , You can immerse yourself in the movie space with related items. A cafe is set up on the 5th floor where the entrance to each theater is elaborate . A bench is also set up in the corridor. Started the member application "Cinema Sunshine Rewards". By registering for an account on the official app, you can receive advantageous viewing services such as "6 viewings once free", "2 times viewing 1,100 yen viewing", and "every Thursday 1,100 yen viewing". In addition, Grand Cinema Sunshine has introduced the latest admission system. Of course, you can reserve tickets in advance on the Internet, but you can enter the reserved tickets smoothly just by holding the QR code displayed on your smartphone screen. All theaters have a stress-free paperless QR code admission system. ■ Original theater standard "BESTIA" First of all, I'm glad that detailed specifications are written at the entrance of each screen of Grand Cinema Sunshine. Recently, some theaters do not specify the screen size, but the manufacturer name and system are also displayed for projectors and sound systems, and they are imposing. The introduction system is written at the entrance of the theater, and Cinema Sunshine's original theater standard "BESTIA" is introduced at Theater 5 and Theater 6. BESTIA, an abbreviation for Best Immersive Audio Visual, combines a state-of-the-art laser projection system with 3D sound to create the sensation of the audience as if they were in a movie. Specifically, CHRISTIE's RGB 4K projector is compatible with two types of immersive surround "DOLBY ATMOS" and "DTS-X". A cinema complex with two screens that can be played by either method is rare. CHRISTIE Real Laser realizes "brighter images," "higher contrast," and "wider color gamut" required by the latest movie screenings in RGB 4K that supports HDR. CP4330-RGB was introduced in theaters 5 and 6. By the way, CP2315-RGB and CP2320-RGB are adopted in other screens. Furthermore, we are particular about the sound system. Theater 5 has QSC's flagship 4-way speaker system. VIVE audio speakers are used for Theater 6. You can enjoy the difference in tone color and sound field. ■ Japan's first "ScreenX with 4DX", an attraction experience only here "ScreenX with 4DX" is a theater that combines the experience-based attraction theater "4DX" and the three-sided multi-projection screening system "ScreenX" on one screen. This is the first introduction in Japan. "ScreenX with 4DX", which is a fusion of "4DX" and "ScreenX" ScreenX and 4DX are familiar to movie fans, so I will omit them here, but since the hybrid of the two methods requires a dedicated screening code. , ScreenX with 4DX compatible work. ScreenX with 4DX scheduled to be screened Also, Grand Cinema Sunshine's ScreenX with 4DX can screen 4DX 3D works. In this case, ScreenX cannot be screened on three sides. Kim THEODORE TY of CJ 4D PLEX said, "The Hollywood movie for ScreenX is from" Pirates of the Caribbean / The Last Pirate "in 2017, but many works have already been produced, and the speed is early. It's a pace that surpasses that of IMAX's work. " In addition, "The number of works using a three-sided recording camera is increasing in concert works, etc. There is a possibility of live distribution in sports broadcasts in the future. Furthermore, the live ScreenX version of BTS, which has not been released in Japan, will soon land. It may be, "he told me. CJ 4D PLEX Kim THEODORE TY. Mr. ■ Tokyo's first and largest IMAX laser / GT technology in Japan has appeared As mentioned above, IMAX laser / GT technology in Japan is located at "109 Cinemas Osaka Expocity" in Osaka. This time, Theater 12, which will be the only IMAX laser / GT technology that first appeared in eastern Japan, has a height of 18.91m and a width of 25.849m, which is a slight difference from Osaka, but is "the largest in Japan" (according to the Japan Giant Screen Association). .. The number of seats is 542 (407 in Osaka). A screen with a maximum angle of view of 1: 43: 1 is about 40% larger than a normal screen. Actually, even in the works of Cinesco angle of view and general IMAX works, this screen is rarely used in full size, and white margins remain at the top and bottom. This is for works made according to IMAX's full-size screen standard, and this time, the first full-size IMAX movie "TRANSPHERE" in Japan, which was produced in conjunction with the opening of Grand Cinema Sunshine, was prepared. However, the height of looking up at the building still overwhelms the viewer. Theater with IMAX Laser / GT Technology 12 Two 4K laser projectors are used to project onto a screen of this size. It achieves a wider color gamut and higher contrast, creating a reality that was previously unreproducible. The 3D screening method of IMAX GT is a rental type with special glasses with color polarization. This is technically similar to Dolby Cinema's Dolby 3D, unlike the standard IMAX 3D. In addition, the sound system has added a subbus to the IMAX 12ch sound, and has been upgraded with speakers added to the ceiling and both sides. It is different from the immersive sound like DOLBY ATMOS, but it features the sound pressure of the speaker that matches the overwhelming height of the front screen, and it is wrapped in the sound field created by the front channel rather than dare to distinguish the presence or absence of the ceiling speaker. The experience of things exceeds. Only this cannot be reproduced in a normal home theater. There are 3 grades of "Grand Class", "Premium Class" and "Standard Class" on the 12-screen seats of Grand Cinema Sunshine, and you can choose each viewing style. Furthermore, at the IMAX theater, a "flat seat" is installed in the front row so that you can enjoy a realistic movie experience by lying down and looking up. "Premium Class" Seat "Flat Seat" in the front row of the IMAX Theater ■ IMAX Laser / GT Technology's shavings are directed by Makoto Shinkai's "Weathering with You" The main content of Grand Cinema Sunshine, which will open during the summer vacation, is Shinkai. It is "Weathering with You" directed by Makoto. I want you to imprint the power of IMAX laser / GT technology on your eyes. In addition, at the "Grand Cinema Sunshine Eve Festival" on July 18, the day before the opening day, "Dunkirk" will be screened at full-size IMAX at the "IMAX Laser / GT Technology" theater. In addition, "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be screened specially at the "4DX with ScreenX" theater. You may have seen "Dunkirk" at Osaka Expo City. However, although "Bohemian Rhapsody" had a standard ScreenX screening, it could not be screened on 4DX with ScreenX, so it will be the first screening in Japan. Regarding this work, although the first day is already sold out, it is scheduled to be screened on weekdays for a while after opening, so check it out. In the current movie viewing environment, with the spread of flat-rate video services and VOD services, there are many opportunities to watch movies not only on large-screen TVs and home theaters, but also on smartphones, PCs, and tablet terminals. Still, the place where movies show their true quality is the “cinema”. This is supported by the fact that we have screening methods and equipment that cannot be reproduced at home or on mobile, and we can provide more comfortable and high-quality works. Grand Cinema Sunshine asks the meaning of "watching a movie in a movie theater". It is the birth of the modern "all-in-one movie theater".
