CINEMA REVIEW | New SCREENX experience at Event Cinemas – Perth movie lovers, prepare yourselves — Event Cinemas Innaloo has just raised the bar for cinematic immersion with Western Australia’s very first SCREENX auditorium, and it is nothing short of extraordinary. If you thought you’d experienced “big screen” entertainment before, think again. SCREENX genuinely redefines what it means to step inside a blockbuster.
SCREENX uses a revolutionary 270-degree panoramic display, stretching the action across not just the front screen, but both side walls of the cinema as well. During specially selected scenes, the picture extends into your peripheral vision and — quite literally — wraps itself around you. The result? You don’t just watch the movie; you feel like you’ve stepped inside it.
I attended a special screening of Predator: Badlands in the new ScreenX auditorium, and the experience honestly blew me away.
From the moment the first expanded scene unfolded, the difference was immediate. You become enveloped in the world of the film — the environment surrounds you, towers above you, and even seems to stretch out behind you. There is no “edge of screen” moment. It feels like the movie has swallowed the room whole.
When the ScreenX panels activate, the level of immersion is unlike anything I’ve experienced in a cinema before. You become part of the landscape, the tension, the atmosphere. Predator stalking through the environment doesn’t just happen in front of you — it feels like it’s happening all around you. I found myself involuntarily shifting in my seat, scanning the expanded visuals, drawn deeper into each moment. It’s a rush. It’s thrilling. And it’s absolutely unforgettable.
Event Cinemas has also ensured comfort matches the spectacle, with seating upgrades available at selected locations including Double Daybeds and Full Recliners. Nothing beats sinking back in luxury while the world of the film expands across three walls around you.
What stood out most to me is how ScreenX delivers a cinema experience you truly cannot replicate at home — not even close.
This is more than watching a movie; this is stepping inside one. It’s the future of blockbuster storytelling, and it’s happening right here in Perth.
Whether you’re excited for upcoming ScreenX releases like Wicked: For Good, Zootopia 2, or more action-packed adventures like Predator: Badlands, this format takes even familiar genres to a whole new level. Families, action fans, sci-fi lovers, and anyone craving something special from their night out — ScreenX is absolutely for you.
If you love movies — even casually — you owe it to yourself to experience this at least once. It’s bold. It’s breathtaking. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen. Event Cinemas Innaloo has delivered something truly world-class, and I cannot recommend the ScreenX experience highly enough.
Go see it. Go feel it. Go live inside a movie for a couple of hours.
SCREENX is worth every moment.
