av98m 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 (edited) I think all the cinemas are generally okay, none of them bad enough to hate. I only hate other cinema goers. Those %$##@ who refuse to turn off their handphones and actually answer all their calls, those #$%* who turn up late, those #$%&* who seem to to the toilet every 30 minutes, those #$%&* who give a running commentary to their friends while watching the movie instead of keeping their traps shut...etc etc etc etc. My favourite time to go to the cinema is on weekdays to catch morning shows, when its practically empty and I have my choice of seats. Every now and then I take leave to do that. Edited December 31, 2003 by av98m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charismatic 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 I want to add on to av98m's hate list. Those that keeps talking about their BGR problem, family problem, work problem, what the hack problem, etc problem, 5 to 10 minutes b4 the starting of the show when audience is sitting in. Affecting the mood of everyone beside them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
av98m 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 (edited) Yeah! I agree! I thought the point of going out for a movie is to relax and forget about all your personal problems in the first place! You also get this kind of people when you go on overseas holidays. Oh, and just to add something that's relevant to this thread, I do remember the old Capitol cinema being not very good for movie watching. The reason is that sound from outside leaks into the theatre. I remember watching a movie there many years ago. I was totally immersed until suddenly I head raining from outside, and some motocycles racing by. Completely spoiled the experience.

augustineRS 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) You haven't met people playing with their light saber during the actual screening of star wars. I wondered are they fans or simply S.O.B. One of the worst cinema is at Hougang Mall i think. The pins falling from the bowling alley can be heard in the theatre.Surround sound too since it is one level above the cinema.

yongchris 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) fav cinema for watching movies : Shaw beach road : big screens, big cinema, easy to get tickets, and usually very empty(hence, no irritating people talking behind you) fav cinema for sound : Imax at GV grand : best sound I've heard in any cinema(watched matrix there, had sweet spot seats, fabulous) fav cinema for seats : GV gold class : need I say more worst cinema for watching movies : Lido classics,2,3 : small screens, small cinema, lots of people talking, and the irritating pillars at the sides. worst cinema for sound : lido classics : what's with the pillars and staircase on the left side of the cinema breaking up the sound... worst cinema for seats : Lido : cramped.... honorable mentions : Orchard cineleisure : good overall cinema, but worst crowd. Century Square Tampines : for 11am weekday watching. (no one's around) Chris PS. the irony of it all, is that I end up watching most of my movies in Lido. Side story, I watched ROTK at Lido, there was a family sitting along my row, 2 seats down next to the aisle, and they let their 3-4yr old daughter run up and down, screaming and yelling, the stairs with absolutely no consideration to the other cinema goers (she had a bell on her ankle and those squeeking shoes). And the guy on my right was on the phone 30% of the movie. lucky I'm not a LOTR fan, and was watching it cos of my gf. boy was she pissed....

Tenson 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 Well I don't live in S'pore but I have to say I like the BlueWater cinema in Kent, England when it is during the weekday - great surround sound and totally isolated from outside noise. HOWEVER, I like to go when it is empty not because other people annoy me, but rather I like to comment all the way through making jokes at the movies with my friends I really want to write a piss-take movie on that latest Star Wars film!! Also in the James Bond film the lady behind told me to go buy the DVD and watch it at home lol! On behalf of all us annoying arse-holes that ruin your films I would like to say sorry!!! But we just can't help it, we have over active imaginations and find some things in the films very silly and have to comment!!! Thank-you for understanding!

Musica 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2004 Shaw Towers and GV at Marina Bay's pretty ulu. Your best bet if you're watching a movie on its opening day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 I like the Cathay multiplex at Causeway Point, Woodlands. Comfy and all. Sound quality is good and never too loud. The cinemas at Bugis Junction tend to test my spl threshold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
