We went to see Avatar at the Suzhou theater today. It is showing on multiple screens with the choice between normal theater 3D, IMAX 3D, normal theater 2D, Chinese language, and English language. We went for the normal theater 3D English option. The IMAX 3D would have cost us over $100 to take the family - sorry James Cameron - tai gui le.
The kids liked Avatar, except Maria who gave it two thumbs down for being too loud, too scary, and too long. I thought it was very entertaining, though a bit left-leaning. It was rumored that the Chinese media felt the same way, as there were rumors of Avatar in disfavor because of the theme of the minority uprising.
The movie theater is at the Suzhou Science and Cultural Arts Center (SSCAC) which is Suzhou's version of the birds nest. It sits in a prominent spot on the shore of Jinji Lake. Like everything along Jinji Lake it is decorated with multicolored lights that make quite a show each night. You can also see that the movie is very popular - there was a mob buying tickets and waiting in the slowest movie ticket line I have ever experienced.
