After six weeks of renovations, the Imax Theatre at the Montreal Science Centre is set to debut its first films this week.

The glitzy new cinema features a renovated sound system, laser lights and a 3D system for a total cost of $2 million.

The new theatre is hoping to draw school field trips by offering an immersive 3D experience.

The first two films to play are America Wild and a documentary on humpback whales, both in 3D.

The first showing is at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23.
