  • I dropped into Ito Yokado (on ErHuan West Road) yesterday, and they still (surprisingly, since I thought it was banned in 2D already...) have Avatar in 2D.

    Since I've already seen it once on DVD (ahem...) I'd like to see it again, but want to see it in 3D.

    How many cinemas are showing Avatar in 3D in Chengdu? Where are they?

    Any chance of an IMAX screen in Chengdu?

  • Happy Valley in the North of Chengdu seems to have a 3-d screen, showing the flick (I think RMB80 or more), the other cinemas I'm not sure atm.

  • Thanks invisible.

    It's for when a couple of friends come to visit during the next 2 weeks.

    Today, after watching the Superbowl at Shamrock in the morning, I walked up to the Digital Plaza to price Netbooks, and then I walked west along YiHuan Nan.

    I passed a couple of cinemas on YiHuan Nan. The first was called Arden Cinema (HuaYuan Ying Cheng), and then another km, or so, further west there was another cinema (name?) in the Trustmart (HaoYouDuo), Dicos and Computer Market building (also a gym upstairs I think).

    Both those cinemas are still offering "Avatar" in 3D for 70 - 100rmb.

  • It's also on in 3D at Pacific (TaiPing) Cinema at the intersection of WuHou Ci Avenue and YiHuan. 118rmb/pp though... At least, it's that price for the evening session...

  • Well, I saw "Avatar" in 3D last night at the TaiPing Cinema on the ChunXi (BuXing Jie) Shopping area.

    90rmb/pp, or 63rmb for members...

    If you want English language then make sure you choose a YuanBan (原版, original version), not Chinese dubbed, session. The YuanBan version has Chinese sub-titles.

    To be honest, I didn't really notice a lot of the 3D effects... The version I saw on DVD a few weeks ago looked virtually the same to me...

  • Could it be that this cinema just pretends the movie to be shown in 3d for legal reasons as they can't show the 2d version? I passed it recently and it looks a bit crappy:)
