In this case, if an IMAX movie is to be released every year, the difficulty of buying a movie ticket is almost similar to buying a train ticket to return home before the Spring Festival. Although the number of people watching this kind of movie may not be comparable to the passenger flow during the Spring Festival, there are only six ticket windows in Heping Cinema, and one of them sells ordinary movie tickets. In the absence of any agency, you can imagine how difficult it would be to queue up at the window by yourself to buy tickets.
Avatar is just the beginning. Relevant experts have also made an analysis - such films will become a development trend. That is to say, experts believe that movies similar to Avatar will appear more and more on the IMAX screen. Of course, we don't need to delve into whether these experts are kept or kept in captivity for the time being. There is no doubt that Avatar is like an iPhone in the movie industry, and it is bound to become a template to be imitated.
However, the number of existing IMAX equipment in China is very small, which cannot fully meet the market demand. I went to Peace Studios on the evening of the 4th to watch the IMAX version of Avatar, but I failed, because all the tickets for the shows up to the 6th were sold out, and the tickets after the 6th were not sold for the time being. Even so, the ticket office was still crowded with people. These people felt like they couldn't buy tickets and had to take a look at the ticket sales lady before they felt it was a worthwhile trip. There were still tickets for the regular version, but I left without hesitation. On the 10th, I went to the Peace Studio to watch the IMAX version of Avatar, but I failed, because the tickets were sold out until the 12th. The number of people in the ticket hall is still swarming, but the number of people has increased significantly. People lined up outside the ticket windows. The scene at that time was like the scene in the ticket hall of the train station.
I think since it is better to have a sneak peek, I will discuss with my friends and watch the normal version first, and then watch the IMAX version again, but depending on the situation, it is estimated that it will be the beginning of summer. Regarding this film, the current environment no longer allows any critical comments. Just like everyone calls Zeng Yike Brother Zeng, I suddenly call others Yike sister, and I seem very unfashionable and ignorant of current affairs. So if I were to say now that this movie is actually average, someone would say, you know a dick, but you can't see the point. I admit that I really don’t know anything about movies. I can only watch three movies a day on average, and only two movies a day after BT China was blocked, and I also watch it casually as a layman. Of course it doesn't rule out that some of them are dick-only movies.
I can only say that this movie is good, but it has not broken through my imagination, and it is far less shocking than some of Miyazaki's cartoons, such as "Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaa". And the tree elf in the movie has obviously appeared in Hayao Miyazaki's movie, but it looks slightly different. The only thing that is gratifying is that the technological level of the aliens in this sci-fi film is finally behind that of the people on earth. No ships or weapons that fire lasers, and no grotesque deformities.
But no matter whether it is good or bad, the most important thing about this kind of movie is that it is addicting to the eyes, and it is enough to watch it. But what worries me is that when the sequel to Avatar is released, will Shanghai still only have IMAX for peace?
