I saw The Great Gatsby in 3D last night with some girlfriends. Tickets were only CHF 15 each. I don't know why they were so cheap... I thought I had paid like CHF 20 for 3D movies in Arena Sihlcity. But perhaps it was because it was a Wednesday night instead of the weekend?
My friend was able to order our tickets online the day before and print them out, so that was convenient. Corso has assigned seats, and the best seats we could get were in the 4th row from the front, but it was okay.
The good thing about assigned seats is that you can waltz in right before the movie starts, instead of having to arrive early to snag some good seats. The only bad thing was that we walked in when the commercials were already playing, so it was too dark to see the seat numbers... which were painted on the floor! We fumbled around in the dark a bit before finding our correct seats.
I brought my 3D glasses from watching The Hobbit last time at Arena Sihlcity, and they worked fine for this movie, so I didn't need to pay for another set of 3D glasses. So save your glasses, folks! (Or else fork over CHF 3 to buy a new pair each time.)
Seats were comfy with plenty of leg room, the sound system was great, the facilities were fairly clean and modern, but my friend noted that... there were no cup holders in the arm rests!! That was weird.
As usual, I got ice cream during intermission. The concessions line was a bit long but moved fairly quickly. CHF 4.50 paid for a Mega Almond ice cream bar. I had just enough time to eat my ice cream, have a quick chat with the girls, and then it was back to watching the movie. read more
