If what I’ve seen on Liverpool ONE website (http://www.liverpool-one.com/website/1live-on-the-waterfront.aspx), the weekend looks like it’ll be a fantastic place to take the kids for a family day out in Liverpool, as events start from 12:30 in the afternoon, over the weekend.

ODEON, the UK’s premier cinema network, has announced a installation of a unique IMAX® auditorium at ODEON Liverpool ONE.

2010-07-14T04:57:00.000-07:00

The new IMAX® display gives cinemagoers a truly immersive film experience – screening films in both IMAX® as well as IMAX® 3D formats.

In order to mark the introduction of the IMAX® experience, Dreamworks’ Shrek Forever After 3D guarantees to captivate audiences as it screens in IMAX® 3D from the cinema’s initial weekend. What’s more, having an thrilling array of movies on the horizon which include Inception and also Toy Story 3D, there’s plenty for local movie fanatics to look forward to.

Liverpool film fans will witness crystal-clear images and will experience IMAX’s highly effective brand new audio system that gives laser-aligned digital audio to envelop the audience. With Proportionate Point Source loudspeaker technology™ the audience will be able to determine the exact location of the sound.

For 3D movie images that pop out from the screen, grab a seat and enjoy 3D cinema like never before. Involve yourself in the experience that cannot be replicated at home.

Crystal-clear surround sound, stunning images and big screen action together with even bigger impact - ODEON will take digital 3D to a whole new dimension.

A truly immersive experience

ODEON 3D guides you at the heart of the action. In every 3D film screening, you`ll think that the crisis is literally unfolding all around you.

Ground-breaking 3D cinema

The ODEON digital 3D magic is powered by the RealD Cinema System, a ground-breaking digital cinema projection system.

Superb image quality

With digital films, the magnificent display quality is actually maintained for the entire life span of the film - digital images never degrade.

The latest in high-tech eyewear

Your RealD Eyewear creates those digital 3D images that seem real enough to touch. The eyewear fits comfortably on anyone over the age of 3 - even on top of prescription glasses.

How does 3D cinema work?

During the creating of 3D films, 2 cameras will be used for each picture, providing two slightly different viewpoints for every moment. All of these become separate streams of images - one for each eye. Throughout a 3D movie screening, the projector plays a left-eye image, then a right-eye image one after the other, so rapidly that you believe they`re playing simultaneously. Your 3D eyeglasses displays each eye the right picture plus your brain fools you into experiencing three dimensions when, in fact, there are only 2.

All this happens without you realizing - so just settle-back, relax, and enjoy the 3D film.

2010-06-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

Swim, Bike and Run In Liverpool
On the 27^th June 2010, Liverpool participates in the UK’s newest triathlon, where people will swim, bike and run while taking in Liverpool’s sites and attractions, including the Liver Building, Albert Dock and the Liverpool ONE shopping centre.

The bike course is a 10km circuit in the centre of Liverpool. The run travels west past the Three Graces and Albert Dock. Children’s events will also be organised so all the family can compete.

You DON’T need to be superhuman to complete a triathlon, there are three distances to suit all abilities, so if you don’t feel up to doing all three, why not arrange a team and pick your strongest sport.

What you need.

For the swim, you’ll need a wetsuit, which provides buoyancy and warmth; it will make swimming easier as long as you have practiced in it prior to the event.

A bike and helmet, the bike must be roadworthy, and can basically be any bike you have in the shed, be it a racing bike, mountain bike, or even a BMX.

Running, trainers are a must!

If you don’t have the equipment you need, why not arrive early and check out Liverpool ONE
