About Movies



I'm gonna talk about movies in Korea.

Most of Korean really love movies. Whenever they choose movie or before they go to watch a movie at theater , most of them search on the internet.

Typical portal sites in Korea are Daum and Naver . These sites provide a five-star rating of each movie.

I think if a movie got four of five-star , it's usually worth seeing at the movie theater.

-I typed a movie "Sunny" which is now the most popular movie in Korea.
The picture you see on the bottom is showing a five-star rating . Sunny got almost five star.



Mostly it costs 8000~9000 won (7.40~8.33 USD) for adults and 6000~7000 won (5.55 ~ 6.48 USD) for teenagers.

For 3D movies it cost about 13000 won (12.03 USD) and for 4D movies it costs 16000 won (14.08 USD)

In Korea there are reduced admission fees for early morning. It called " Jo Jo disacount"

Theater start showing movies from morning and there are not many customers on that time. So they redued price of the movie.

It costs only 5000 won (4.63 USD) for all. It's really cheap compared to the usual !

I think Jo Jo disacount promotes customers to watch in the early morning . Today morning my family went to movie to watch X men: first class ^.^






- this is the picture of CGV in AnYang. CGV is one of common theaters in Korea and you could see CGV whenever you go around Korea


There are some of different movie theater brand . Popular movie theather is CGV, Lotte cinema and there are Cinus, Primus .

These are similar to American movie theater. many seats in one big room, pop corns and carbonated drinks , buttered grilled squid, Frezel ..

In Korea there is a special theater for people who want to watch movie luxuriously or high standard of comfort and service.

In that theater you can enter special lounge for customers who have ticket. you could go there for a hour before movie start .

and They are provided two beverages .

One is provided at lounge and another is provieded when you watch a movie .

- These are pictures of seats. it's kind of sofa bed . you can press button that unfold the legs of sofa.



At some of theater ,back of the room , there are couple seats for couples !

two seats are bounded so It is one long seat . and it doesn't have armrest so that couple can watch a movie sticking together ^*^ !

Going to the movies is great date course for Korean couples.
