Taipei : IMAX Cinema

At night, we have no way to go, coz we don't fancy karaoke, pubs, discos, but since we stayed nearby the theater street- Ximending so that we went for a midnight movie.
We bought ticket for IMAX 3D movie cinema to watch " Star Trek". The movie ticket is NT$330 for the first person and the second accompany is charged at NT$280. On top of that, you can top up NT$ 99 for a bottle of water and popcorn.

IMAX has arrived which now features Taiwan's only digital IMAX theater--also the world's largest with 600 seats. IMAX's huge, curved screen offers an unrivalled theater experience for all viewers, wherever they sit, and includes patented technology giving clearer, brighter definition and sharper, 3D-like visual effects. Moreover, the uncompressed, super-clear digital audio system broadcasts the smallest sounds--even the drop of a needle--clearly. All this ensures that audiences are fully immersed in and surrounded by the movie scenes.
Another notable advantage is digital IMAX's environmentally-friendly, copy-proof, scratch-proof system which is easily transportable and doesn't rely on film. This means the audio-visual quality is unchanged after even a hundred showings. Vieshow Cinema has four screens, including the digital IMAX one, which can also handle 3D films. The three other theaters can also accommodate hundreds of movie-goers. -
It's really enjoyable to watch "Star Trek" in IMAX. It's worth to pay NT$330 for a movie ticket.

Another night, we went to watch "Angels and Demons" in IN89 Digital Cinema. The ticket price for adult is NT$270. This three-screen complex is always full of teenagers and young couples who want to take advantage of the first-run movies, digital audio system and sofa-like love seats without armrests.
