23 Nov – You will soon be able to watch 3D movies in BIG Cinemas Lotus Five Star outlets in Batu Pahat Mall, Alor Star Mall, Taiping Sentral, Landmark Central Shopping Mall Kulim and Brem Mall, announced the cinema chain yesterday.

According to a press release, the Ultimate 3D technology combines both the Active 3D Glasses and the latest 4k upgradable series digital cinema projector across 10 of its screens. The selected Active 3D Glass series is said to use the electronic shutter technology which is able to deliver the brightest image with an efficiency rating 15% higher than Passive 3D Glasses which are commonly available in Malaysia.

The same source noted that despite using the latest 3D technology, they will charge the competitive market rate for a 3D movie (which is the price of the ticket and an additional RM5 for the rental of the glasses, said to cost RM200 per pair) and that the chain is confident moviegoers will be satisfied with the results of the new technology offered.

Big Cinemas Lotus Five Star's most recent outlet was the 6-screen cineplex in Landmark Central Shopping Mall, Kulim. It opened in December 2009.
