My girlfriend & I wanted to try out this Planetarium IMAX theatre.
We purposely picked a film that was recently made (a David Attenborough film) to give it the best chance of being good picture quality & it was!
The cinema is fully raked & you'll have the same view pretty much anywhere you sit as the seats are all angled backwards so you are looking almost upwards throughout.
My one big issue was that the legroom was very poor (I'm not that tall) & I was lucky that I could stretch into the next seat during the film & even that wasn't perfect.
You are not allowed to put your feet on the seat in front of you, particularly if someone is sitting there!
The actual film was very good with good sound & to experience this in almost 360 degrees is a visual treat...you were given a headset with a choice of languages & volume control which worked fine.
The loudest volume setting wasn't massively loud, but I think that was intentional as during the film I could occasionally hear the same commentary in other languages from other people's headsets that didn't have them on correctly!
I'd definitely do this again with a different film, but may sit on the end of a row to stretch out into the aisle.

I was absolutely amazed at the great architecture of the magnificent City Of Arts And Sciences Complex ( Cuidad De Las Artes Y Ciencies ) ,one of the most stunning buildings here was L'Hemisferic ,constructed in 1998 ,this was the first building to be constructed in this complex ,it's an IMEX Cinema ,planetarium and laserium ,constructed to resemble an eye hence it's nickname " the eye of knowledge " ,it half sphered in design ,it's such an amazing looking building ,one of many in this complex that's most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning to visit this must go destination in Valencia.

Great experience, very nice for the fans of science and people willing to learn something. A good conjunction of the 3D film in a room where wherever you look the film is all around, making you feel in the center of the experience, very emersive.

Never experienced anything like this before! We arrived after spontaneously deciding to buy tickets to watch one of the shot films so we didn't really know what to expect. Once inside the domed theater we put on our headsets and couldn't believe how good the visuals were. It really felt like the screen was all around you and we could have just spent hours watching the different showings. It really took IMAX to the extreme and gave you a glimpse of what future technology could be like.

We opted for the Universe Wonders and it was great in the fine IMAX. Lasting about an hour or so, much of it covered pioneering research at CERN.
Another wonder is the edifice itself. Resembling an eye, symbolising knowledge and more importantly wisdom, it is a further stunning creation by Calatrava in the City.

We were definitely expecting much more! Sound was not high enough, video image low quality and the film we saw was not interesting at all - can’t remember the name but it has to do with CERN. Don’t go it’s not worth. Stay outside and take
Pictures from the buildings and the mirror effects of the water. It’s worth for that only!

Expected more. Video was low quality and headset was not easy to adjust. Even then it wasn’t loud enough. The building is noce from outside but that’s about it.

We watched a movie at L'Hemisferic, the planetarium, designed to resemble a giant eye. It was the first building completed in the complex and probably my favourite. It's design is so striking.

Simply put, this is a round imax theatre.
Because of its shape, the movie displayed is more immersive.
My suggestion is to pick a good video. I picked Apollo 11 (only time I could come) and because of it being old, it means the quality of the video isn't as good, which dampens the experience somewhat. There was a very short video with clear new video that showed its potential, and I think a newer film would mean the experience would be better.

Buonasera, ho acquistato il biglietto per vedere la proiezione dell’hemisferic insieme alla turist card. E’ possibile Prenotare la proiezione desiderata via mail o bisogna obbligatoriamente recarsi agli sportelli?
Se fosse disponibile per mail, mi fornireste gentilmente l’indirizzo?
Grazie in anticipo a chi risponderà

non so se è possibile prenotare tramite email o sportello però ti voglio dare un consiglio prova a informarti quando ci sono le proiezioni con film in traduzione italiana o in lingua italiana
I film trasmessi hanno la traduzione simultanea in italiano?

Que tipo de peliculas proyectan? Y sobre todo cuales son los horarios de las peliculas y los días o lo hacen todos los días?

Ciao, le pellicole che sono in programmazione normalmente durante il giorno sono poche, e dipende poi in che lingua le vuoi ascoltare.
Alla sera sono previsti dei concerti o delle programmazioni diverse. Ci sono volantini informativi nel parco o all’ingresso. Credo abbiano anche un sito dedicato

Salve vorrei prenotare ora per agosto ma il calendario della programmazione non arriva fino a tale periodo ed in oltre non è specificato se il film è disponibile nella lingua italiana! Quali soluzioni?
Grazie

Ho visitato questo posto la settimana scorsa, all'atto dell'acquisto del biglietto si prenota la proiezione ed il posto, da scegliere nell'arco dell'intera giornata; ci è stato chiesto quale film volevamo vedere e a che ora, mostrandoci il calendario della giornata con diverse tipologie di film, da quello di avventura, al documentario sugli animali ad un cartone animato...ecc...perciò si può andare in giro e visitare le altre strutture e tornare all' Hemisferico all'ora prenotata. All'ingresso saranno distribuiti occhiali e delle cuffie dalla quale si potrà selezionare la lingua desiderata, e l'italiano vi era compreso. l'ingresso per una prenotazione viene €8,80, ma vi sono anche gli ingressi combinati con l' Oceanografico € 30,90, oppure con il museo delle scienze €12,90; mentre l'Hemisferico+ museo scienze+ oceanografico € 36,90.
