Since 1953, CGV has become the largest cinema company in South Korea, with a presence in the United States, Vietnam, Turkey and other countries. As a high-end brand of Korean cinemas, CGV Cinema has brought 4DX, ScreenX and other technologies since entering the Chinese market in 2006, and now has nearly 100 cinemas in China.
Aoshan is the most popular of all CGV theaters in Wuhan. The theater covers an area of more than 9,000 square meters, with 11 theaters and more than 1,800 seats. Among them, 11 cinema halls include IMAX hall, 4DX hall, Sweet Box couple hall, laser hall, massage chair hall, and ordinary hall. The most worthwhile movie theater is the IMAX hall. The IMAX hall of the Aoshan store has a total of 414 seats, and the screen size is 23 meters × 13 meters, which is the largest in the viewing area of Wuhan IMAX. The IMAX hall uses dual-camera high-brightness projection, the image brightness is more than 50% higher than the standard brightness (14ft-L) of ordinary cinemas, and the image contrast can be as high as 30% compared with ordinary digital cinemas. However, the Okuyama store does not have the ScreenX hall developed by CJ Group, so if you want to try it, you can go to the AEON Jinqiao store and the Jinyintan store.
4D cinema is a collective term, and 4DX is one of the brands. The 4DX Cinema is the main feature of the Okushan store, and the cinema hall uses the "seat dynamics technology" developed by CJ 4DPLEX in South Korea to simulate movie scenes, and is mostly used in action, sci-fi, and war movies. In the process of watching the film, the seat will vibrate, shake, blow, spray and other special effects according to the plot, trying to make the audience have a more realistic viewing experience. There is no hint before the effect is generated, and the effect is particularly intense when encountering high-altitude, action, and war scenes, so you need to be mentally prepared when watching the movie. However, because the technology is not very mature, some audiences cannot accept this slightly deliberate effect creation, and the vibration of the seat may cause some physical discomfort, therefore, the market evaluation of this "dynamic viewing creativity" is very average.
Located on the third floor of Aoshan Century Plaza, CGV Okuyama has a retro decoration with rows of light bulbs and dark red brick walls. The hall is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of waiting seats, paid massage chairs, and a crane machine for entertainment while waiting.
