The BFI is reopening its IMAX cinema in Waterloo following a major renovation that has seen it undergo improvements to its screen, sound, and seating. At a mammoth 65-feet high - the equivalent of five double-decker buses - and 85-feet wide, the giant screen is the biggest in the UK.

Its relaunch is timed to the release of two mega-blockbusters in the shape of Wakanda Forever, Disney’s superpowered sequel to the billion-dollar grossing Black Panther, and the next chapter of the biggest film of all time in Avatar: The Way of Water, which arrives November 16, two cinematic experiences that truly demand to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
