I am a movie fanatic, I watch movies every single week and without fail as some new movies will be out periodically and for Singapore it’s usually Thursday.
The problems I faced lately is that I can’t seems to see any quality films coming out in Singapore every week!!
What did I get is more 3D films that occupies more theaters slots & re-release of old “videos” with extra footages (Avatar 3D, Titanic 3D & etc).
Now that this recent action movie by Donnie Yen, some movie theaters tried to re-release 3 of his old crappy action movies in a bonus cheaper tickets!! OMG!
Who are managing these crappy re-releases that can be easily gotten from local DVD stores!!
The Hollywood making lot’s of B grade 3D movies lately trying to capitalize with the success of Avatar and failed to understand that making everything 3D is not going to be successful.
Only animated characters can make 3D more “real” with depth but real life characters are ALREADY 3D!
Now, what’s happened to my routine is all broken due to the fact that there are LESS quality movies are hoarding the theaters and many old films that we had seen before which I don’t want to pay extra $ to see! (even with 8 minutes extra footages).
This means the movie theaters will be making less money on these failures and wasting lot’s of theater spaces for old films rehashed to 3D & new films taking up 2 theaters time slot just for one on 3D & none 3D.
These are wastage & must be eliminated.
Even hot favorite movies sequels (Resident Evil Afterlife) made in 3D are filmed in such a way that it will have scenes specially MADE FOR 3D effects that totally not original & almost felt like a SPOOF of The Matrix.
Next will be all kinds of movies made for 3D which looks nothing as good as the good old days that care more about the story instead of 3D effects.
Unless the 3D effects can be seen using special 3D glass that can be worn over my specs & able to be BRIGHTER & Sharper, I won’t watch another 3D movie.
If I’m the theater management, I will slice up the current theaters to EVEN smaller cubicles of 10 people and give us more choices of movies to choose from.
Maybe add in some force feedback chairs & environmental special effects like…shakes, wind, sound, smell & wave of heated air to add to the mix.
The number of movies list are fixed but which theater cubicles you go to depends on how many people bought tickets of the same movie.
Once 10 people bought tickets for xxx movie, their digital tickets will assign them their specific theater cubicles of 10 people.
That means the theater will never be wasted.
The tickets are assigned in such a way that 1 person bought movie yyy at time 10pm, a cubicle will be reserved for movie yyy at time 10pm and 9 empty seats will be there to be purchased.
Let’s say there’s 30 cubicles, one is taken for movie yyy and another 19 cubicles are available and 10 movies available then priority goes to 3 cubicles per movie.
However, if 3 cubicles are totally taken up for example the movie “Avatar”…that bad movie that are not doing well can donate cubicles to satisfy the demand for “Avatar” and make full use of the 10 empty seats that are prioritize for another bad B grade movie that nobody watches.
In this way, there will be less empty seats & more movies can be released at the same time without compromising the quality of the experience of movie going.
The movie theaters can hence continue to function more effectively and can be more profitable in the long run, but the Hollywood industry must be able to make more quality movies that give movie goers a much better excuses to watch it the theaters.
- Improve on the theater seatings into a smaller cubicles
- Improve on the 3D glasses to be brighter & can be used on glasses
- Have more realistic environmental effects in the theaters
- Get more new movies out every week
- Hollywood to reduce crappy B grade 3D movies that makes no sense to watch
