Theyreallrubbish Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Any cinema in Chiang Mai with the technology to show James Cameron's film Avatar? I'm a sucker to hype and I'd like to see this in 3D If not in Chiang Mai, do they even have this technology in Bangkok? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6799610.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenside Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Nothing here in CM. So far we've missed out on several good 3D offerings - let's hope that the guys over at Airport Plaza upgrade one of their screens soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyreallrubbish Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Nothing here in CM. So far we've missed out on several good 3D offerings - let's hope that the guys over at Airport Plaza upgrade one of their screens soon. Not much reason for them to do so though as there isn't much competition. Still, the West is investing in 3D to combat piracy as its still several years away from being affordable in the home so Thai cinemas should be even more incentivised to move to 3D with the universal levels of piracy. But with the economic environment, and a Thai pattern of not investing in refurbs and upgrades, new investment will be very carefully spent, so if there isn't a cinema with it already, then I'm not too hopeful until a complete new complex is built. Oh well, I'll be in Bangkok in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just seen a BBC News clip (it's available on UK Nova) about the movie and I have to say that it looks like it really will be an experience in 3D. A good excuse to take the family to the Big City, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainiain101 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Bought a TV, Samsung Plasma flat screen, last week and read the instructions last night. It is apparently 3-d ready, glasses not included. Not sure if this helps, but surprised me. Feature I reckon I will never use though. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that yr tv is future proofed in any case for this new tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
