Larger-Than-Life Cinema

Most cinemas are not able to provide the full viewing experience that the film director envisioned when making the movie. Nu Metro has changed all that.

With Xtreme, you can experience movies in their full glory. Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall Premium Large Format-screens, including some of South Africa’s largest cinema screens; coupled with 4K Ultra HD (UHD) digital projection technology and powerful Dolby Atmos sound, give moviegoers the crispest, clearest visuals and highest quality cinema audio possible.

Nu Metro Xtreme can simply be summed up as “Big Screens, Big Sound, Best Digital Quality” – now available at 8 Nu Metro cineplexes nationwide. It is one of Nu Metro’s top-tier cinema brands – along with our multi-sensory 4DX- and luxurious VIP-theatres. Xtreme theatres at Nu Metro are the most technologically advanced cinemas in South Africa.

Some Xtreme screens are over 3 storeys-high – with curved, silver cinema screens in select Xtreme cinemas. New Xtreme installations boast Barco phosphoric laser projectors - delivering 4K Ultra HD visuals with a colour spectrum of around 70 trillion colours. Laser projection literally makes the movies come to life – this is the future of how movies are being projected already now.

Dolby Atmos sound reproduces the most realistic cinema audio, with over 52 “channels” of sound, played through a wide array of speaker outlets placed strategically throughout the Xtreme cinema (including overhead) - moving beyond the confines of “stereo” or “surround” sound. Dolby Atmos delivers powerful all-around sound; sound objects can literally be moved around in 3D space

Multi-Sensory Cinema (OR Feel It In 4DX)

4DX is our most innovative cinema experience available, exclusive to select Nu Metro cineplexes in South Africa. We have already expanded to 6 (currently 5?) of these multi-sensory cinemas across the country… and that's only the beginning

Nu Metro’s one-of-a-kind 4DX cinemas take moviegoers on a cinematic journey like nothing they’ve seen, felt or heard before, making them a part of the onscreen action like no other cinema can. 4DX is a premium, multi-sensory cinema experience, exclusive to Nu Metro.

The on-screen action is amplified in 4DX with advanced motion seats and ambient effects - including wind, water spray, air shots, fog, lightning and lots more.

Signature 4DX effects in-cinema also include rumbling, shaking and floating seat movements. These movement simulations are tailor-made for scenes where objects are floating or flying through the air. 4DX brings viewers as close as virtually possible to the movie action within the comfort of an advanced movie theatre.

4DX’s high-tech motion seats use Servo motoring systems, not hydraulics, connected to an intricate network of computers throughout the cinema – placing 4DX cinema technology head-and-shoulders above theme-park simulators and other similar formats. The difference is also that full feature films are being coded by the world’s top film studios for the 4DX format – which has grown rapidly in reputation and acclaim amongst Hollywood producers as a 21st century cinema format to reckon with.

The environmental effects are synced perfectly with the action on-screen through coding collaborations between 4DX engineers and filmmakers - to create the most exhilarating, unmatched cinema outing, only at Nu Metro in South Africa

Movies are now no longer bound by their visual and aural limits. 4DX is the next step in the movie-going evolution, taking audiences on a journey into the full feature film.

Along with our commitment to delivering all major local and international movie entertainment, Nu Metro also strives to screen alternative/specialist content such as live music, comedy, and theatre shows on the big screen.

Its own content is also acquired independently, for exclusive distribution via its nationwide chain of cinemas. These include events featuring live comedy and specialised content premières.

Nu Metro strives to offer unrivalled cinema experiences with regular talent visits by movie stars, fun competitions, exclusive promotions, exciting marketing activations in cinema as well as popular pre-release screening events such as “Girls’ Night Out.”

.” Additionally, our corporate event and birthday party facilities always make for an unforgettable celebration.
