"We invite everyone to come and experience the Star Wars universe in a whole new way."

Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones - The IMAX Experience is set ten years after the events of The Phantom Menace and the galaxy has undergone significant change, as have Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), and Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman). Anakin has grown into the accomplished Jedi apprentice of Obi-Wan, who himself has transitioned from student to teacher, while Padmé is a distinguished Senator. Anakin and Obi-Wan are assigned to protect Padmé, whose life is threatened by a faction of political separatists. As powerful forces prepare to collide in epic battle, Anakin and Padmé find themselves torn between duty and honor and a love that is forbidden. These heroes face choices that will impact not only their own fates, but also the destiny of the galaxy.

Cinemark USA, Inc. operates 277 theatres and 3,002 screens currently in 33 states in the United States, including 5 Cinemark IMAX® Theatres, and internationally.
