The name "Lumière" comes from the French word meaning "light". Lumière Pictures is a joint venture cinema investment management company between China and Hong Kong, which began to officially enter the public eye in 2008. Compared to most cinemas, Lumière started late, but has grown rapidly, and is now one of the most famous high-end cinemas in the country, with stores in several cities.
There are three Lumière cinemas in Chengdu, and the Beicheng Tianjie store was established in 2015 and has a total of 11 cinemas, the most prestigious of which is the Lumière Digital Cinema (hereinafter referred to as the "LD Cinema"). LD hall can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time to watch the movie, unified with bass leather seats, in terms of design, LD hall subverts the image of the traditional cinema, the screen of the theater is an all-metal giant screen, with higher luminous efficiency, the theater uses Real 3D, Barco laser projector and other advanced projection equipment, Dolby Atmos and the ceiling plus speakers are greatly improved the auditory effect.
The IMAX hall may not be the signature of the Lumière cinema, but it is worth experiencing. Beicheng Tianjie Store is the only Lumière Cinema in Chengdu with an IMAX theater, with 352 seats, obvious seat spacing differences, each position has a good viewing line, the screen of the theater is 1:9:1 ratio, and there are ultra-high quality frames and laser-calibrated speakers to cooperate with each other. For viewers watching 2D, the 5 laser screening halls of the theater are also a good choice, in contrast, the VIP hall of the theater has to be relatively chicken, and the projection equipment and theater environment are very general, so it is not recommended.
The Lumière Cinema has the defect that the rest area is too small, but fortunately, the cinema is located in a shopping mall, and there is no shortage of entertainment and leisure places around, so guests do not need to arrive at the cinema too early. The theater provides 3D glasses for free, but the quality is average, which also directly affects the viewing effect.
As far as all the Lumière cinemas in Chengdu are concerned, the number of moviegoers at the Longfor Tianjie store is far less than at the Raffles City store. Raffles City stores have the advantages of longer opening time and more convenient geographical location, but at the same time, there are problems such as only stairs for exit passages, cramped cinema space, and aging equipment. If you mainly want to experience the LD hall, both are good places to go, and if you value the cinema environment more, it is best to choose Lumière Cinema in Longhu Paradise Street.
