Seeing Avatar in Beijing, Almost a Mission Impossible
Everyone is crazy about Avatar here in Beijing but most people who want to see the movie are not able to due to...too many people.
A friend of mine went to the movie theater last Wednesday at 8AM and discover that there were literally 1,000 people inline before her to purchase an IMAX 3D Avatar ticket.
She gave up and left the theater.
She ultimately settled for the regular 3D version which she waited inline for 5 hours.
Beijing has almost 20 million residents and only 4 IMAX theaters. As you can see the demand greatly outnumbers the supply.
When Avatar first came out a few weeks ago, I told all my friends I would not see any other version except the IMAX version; now I'll be glad if I can get a regular 3D version.
Let's hope Avatar live up to all these hype and not disappoint me when I get a ticket.
