3D Movies in Brunei

Now that my daughter almost finish her exam, well.. another week to go then she will be free! (her words, lol), she is planning to release the tension by going to the cinema and watch the 3D movie at the Mall Cineplex.

3D movies are so new here in Brunei.  Although we have seen 3D twice in KL but never done that here, not because we didnt want to but there was no 3D movies here yet.  Until recently.  The Mall Cineplex has gone 3D!  I would say, better late than never because 3D movies have existed since 1950s (according to Wikipedia). 

What is 3D movies actually?  According to Wikipedia (again), a 3-D (three-dimensional) film or S3D (stereoscopic 3D) film[1] is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. Derived from stereoscopic photography, a special motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives (or computer-generated imagery generates the two perspectives), and special projection hardware and/or eyewear are used to provide the illusion of depth when viewing the film. 3-D films are not limited to feature film theatrical releases; television broadcasts and direct-to-video films have also incorporated similar methods, primarily for marketing purposes.

So there you go.  Its a totally new experience for the people of Brunei.  Wonder how is it like at the Mall?  What are the people reactions?  Was it well received?  Since I heard the tickets are more expensive than normal tickets.  Which should be the case since the technology and the equipments must be quite expensive. 

So we might give it a try.  Although the Mall is not really my preference because of the crowds but my daughter is eager to watch and since its in conjunction with her finishing her exam soon, it might be a good idea to go.

Although I have another reservation.  About the 3D glasses.  How do they do it?  Do we have to share the same glasses with the rest of the patrons?  My daughter told me her friend told her that they will discard the used frames and only take the glasses out and use them on another new frames.  If thats the case, then its alright.  Anybody knows?

And here is the costs of the tickets for reference I copied from Ranoadidas.com.
