Take a look at this incredible new vertical cinema experience – Oma – which not only looks like a smaller version of the senate, but promises to present a whole new way of viewing movies. 2021 will see the first cinema open in Paris, but could we be looking at the new standard for cinemas in the future?

With the very first vertical theatre hitting Paris next year, Oma Cinema is essentially promising that every single seat in the house could potentially be the best seat in the house. No longer will you fret, worry, and groan about obstructed views, awkward angles, or risk missing a bit of crucial dialogue because you were too slow on the draw when it came to copping a ticket. The picture and sound will apparently be the same from every perspective/platform.

Additionally, elevated platforms such as these will allow for a more bespoke movie-going experience – bars, lounges, VIP arrangements, all will be available on hand, making the entire space feel far more tailored towards audience needs than a reclining seat and larger handrest. Picture yourself in one during the midnight screening of a summer blockbuster right now and tell me that isn’t the coolest shit you’ve encountered all day.
