The visual presentation system employed in 3D movies attempts to maintain or recreate moving images of the third dimension, giving the illusion of depth as seen by the patron. So patrons can expect the visuals to "come alive" as if the characters and objects in the film are actually in the same room as the patron.

Yes with special 3D projection equipment & the special 3D glasses. Each patron will be loaned a pair of 3D glasses to wear throughout the main feature and these glasses will help create the illusion of depth required to make the on-screen visuals "pop out" of the screen, as if it were right in front of you.

We are looking at showcasing several movies in 3D moving forward and the frequency of this would approximately be at least once every 2 months as we depend on film distributors to confirm if there is any upcoming release available in 3D format.

Yes, we will advertise this information online and within our cineplex premises as soon as we receive confirmation from the film distributors on the availability of the movie in 3D format.

Cathay Cineplexes has attached a premium value to 3D tickets because of the investment costs required to ensure a smooth and efficient presentation and experience for patrons. Unlike standard 35mm and even 2D digital presentations, the costs involved in the equipment, glasses, manpower and service / equipment maintenance are significantly higher. This is also a price model adapted from countries who already showcase 3D movies as a permanent feature i.e. USA, Australia

As this is a fairly new concept for Singapore movie goers, Cathay Cineplexes would prefer to keep pricing as simple as possible i.e. 1 price tier each for weekday and weekend rates and based on feedback from patrons moving forward, evaluations will be carried out before deciding if different price tiers should be introduced to allow 3D movies to be as accessible as possible to all audiences.

All current discounted and promotional ticket rates recognized by Cathay Cineplexes were implemented when movies were presented in not more than 2 formats (35mm and digital), both based on the same price structure. With 3D movies being charged at a premium rate, it would not be feasible to assume the same discount model as the base price is different. Hence, Cathay Cineplexes will launch 3D movies with no promotional rates till sufficient data can be collated for evaluation before determining if a more varied price structure is required.

We will issue complimentary movie passes valid for 3D movies, only if the patron had encountered an interruption / cancellation for a 3D screening that he / she booked tickets for. If the complimentary movies tickets were issued in compensation for a fault unrelated to 3D movies, then the complimentary pass will not be valid for 3D movies.

Unlike previous 3D releases where the 3D glasses used by patrons were made of paper and could be discarded after the screening, 3D glasses being employed for 3D screenings now are made of sturdier material, with more features built in to facilitate better comfort and a longer wearing duration for the patron. As such, the investment made to secure these 3D glasses is significantly higher and because these glasses are reusable, a rental fee has to be imposed to ensure that patrons take good care of the pair loaned to them so that the person using them next will not be given a faulty pair.

We will impose a penalty fee of SGD$70.00, only if a patron were to lose the pair of glasses assigned to them and fail to return them to the ushers prior to leaving the cinema hall after the movie.

You will need to approach the usher at the back of the hall to exchange your pair for another one before the start of the main feature.
