We don’t go to the movies to admire the theatre, but would it kill
theatre owners to build even one with an edge? Time and time again, we
are disappointed in the new, mega multiplexes that are boring beyond
belief in their sameness and recycled ideas. So, we must admit that
there is not much to celebrate but are seeing little glimmers of hope
and ingenuity once in a while.
One example is the AMC Pacific Place Cinema in Hong Kong refurbished by Hong Kong-based James Law. The entrance areas to the six
auditoriums seating 600 in 1.2-meter wide leather seats plus the a VIP
theatre for 39 offer some unusual eye candy, but we are still wanting
more. If you know of a truly cool movie theatre, please let us know via
the contact page on the bottom of the site. By Tuija Seipell.
