El Mashro' X: The First Arab Film to Feature IMAX, 4DX, Dolby Atmos, and ScreenX
Plot Summary
El Mashro' X is a thrilling Egyptian adventure starring Karim Abdel Aziz as Youssef El-Gammal, an Egyptologist who embarks on a high-stakes journey from the heart of Egypt to the Vatican, and into the depths of the ocean. His mission: to uncover the truth behind one of history's greatest mysteries—was the Great Pyramid merely a royal tomb, or does it conceal a far more enigmatic purpose?
Directed and co-written by Peter Mimi (alongside screenwriter Ahmed Hosny), the film is produced by Synergy Plus, under Tamer Morsi. It features a star-studded cast including Yasmine Sabri, Eyad Nassar, Ahmed Ghozzi, and Essam El Sakka, along with guest stars Maged El Kedwany, Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, and Hannah El Zahed. Filming took place across multiple countries, including Egypt, Turkey, Italy, and El Salvador.
Next-Level Cinema: The Four Technologies Powering El Mashro' X
1. IMAX
Epic visuals that go beyond imagination. With ultra-high resolution and a massive screen format, IMAX draws viewers into the action like never before. Peter Mimi used IMAX cameras to capture key adventure and action sequences—especially scenes set in ancient tombs and underwater—creating an immersive visual experience with exceptional depth and clarity.
2. 4DX
Feel the adventure in every sense. This multi-sensory format features motion seats and environmental effects like wind, water, and vibrations. Perfect for chase scenes and explosions, 4DX makes audiences feel as though they're part of the journey—especially during the film's deep-sea and archaeological sequences.
3. Dolby Atmos
Crystal-clear visuals. Rich, 3D sound Dolby Atmos delivers multidimensional sound from every angle, paired with stunning visual detail and color contrast. Mimi uses this technology to heighten tension and atmosphere, drawing viewers deeper into the film's suspenseful world.
4. ScreenX
Panoramic viewing that breaks the boundaries of the screen, ScreenX extends visuals across three walls of the theater, offering a 270-degree panoramic view. Used for expansive natural landscapes—deserts, oceans, and mountains—this format amplifies the sense of scale and adventure, placing audiences right in the heart of the action.
Setting a New Standard for Arab Cinema
El Mashro' X isn't just a film—it's a cinematic leap forward. As the first Arab movie to combine all four technologies, it sets a new benchmark in both production quality and audience engagement. With its cutting-edge presentation and international scope, Project X stands confidently alongside global blockbusters, ushering in a bold new era for Arab storytelling on the big screen.

This is also an appreciation for Arab-African music.' 'Something great is coming, God willing,' he added. The Egyptian artist's photos sparked a wave of speculation among social media users regarding the big surprise Mohamed Ramadan asked his followers to prepare for. Maccio meanwhile tweeted on August 6 that on August 8, the charitable foundation would host prominent stars, including Lara Trump and American YouTuber Chad Brother. The event was held to 'restore sound values toward a new golden age of music and culture in America.' The 'Make Music Right' foundation aims to promote a musical culture in America that enriches and strengthens society. It also seeks to build a movement to educate Americans about the role of music in shaping perspectives and to foster a musical culture that supports traditional values. According to the official announcement, the prices to participate in the initiative were: Standard Attendance Ticket : $1,000 : $1,000 VIP Ticket: $2,500 $2,500 VIP Photo Opportunity: $3,500 The event also offered sponsorships for organizations and companies starting at $10,000 for the silver tier and $25,000 for the next tier.

The official goal of the event The meeting took place during a promotional event for the 'Make Music Right Again' movement, an initiative launched by Lara Trump as a clear nod to Trump's famous campaign slogan, 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA).
