Equipped with an IMAX screen imported from Canada, it's one of the best places in town for catching CGI Hollywood blockbusters. The cinema's 60 year history, unbeatable central location and well-designed infrastructure set it apart from other cinemas in Shanghai.

Renovations are finished, the entire concession area has been taken over by Hershey. And I say unto you: that ain't a bad thing.



Currently under construction, the Peace Cinema seems bare and sterile as you make your way inside. However first impressions do not last for long as you gaze upon the immense screen. Home to the only IMAX cinema in Shanghai, you will learn quickly that here, size does indeed matter. What isn't quite as impressive is the spacing. On a Saturday night, the cinema was filled to maximum capacity, not leaving any room for arms or limbs to sit naturally. It's particularly bad for those of the long-legged variety--one tall man sat with his knees pressed against his chest grimacing for the entire movie. But if you like your movies crane-your-neck big, then beat the crowds and go on a Monday night when it is the quietest.
