Jinyi Cinemas (Guangzhou Haizhucheng Imax)

Meteor is a shortlived but beautiful astronomical observation. The design reminds the audience of filmmakers’ years of hard work behind their enjoyment.

In the lobby, long rectangular-cuboid decorations extend from the ceiling, mimicking the motion of a meteor shower streaking through the sky. The cuboids point at two directions to enhance the 3D vibrant atmosphere, and the edges are slanted to create an illusion of speed. Other features in the cinema are also linear and oblique to match with the ceiling feature.

Meteor shower is transformed into flat rectangular shaped-stones in the corridor, which look as if they are growing from the ground. There is a unique portrayal of meteor shower in each auditorium to surprise the audience, e.g. different styles of wall decorations are installed; seats are replaced by beds in an auditorium for the audience to lie down and enjoy the meteor shower before the movie starts.
