I really wish we have IMAX Laser & Dolby Cinema soon in Malaysia.
At the moment IMAX or Atmos is my choice but still not good enough if compare to those two. sigh.....

Looks like MBO is upping the game by bringing in 4D. They also have a family friendly hall with a playground. Not sure if their screen in the Big Screen hall is bigger than GSC's Maxx though.
MBO Cinemas introduces Malaysia's first 4D motion seats

Is the screen bigger than GSCmaxx at Times Square? I remember it was huge.
Watched Fast8 in the MX4D hall and it was kinda fun and something that you should try at least once. Besides the rumbling seats you get to smell burning tires,  see some smoke, flashing when gunshots are fired, feeling bullets narrowly miss your ear, and have a bit of water sprayed at you.

There are a few GSCMaxx screens, can i know which one you referring to ?
The 'true' biggest GSCMaxx screen is located at Times Square as the hall previously build for full spec IMAX hall .
Now the largest IMAX hall if not mistaken is located at Sunway Velocity Mall but the seating  is screw up 
All the middle seat is reserve for dining seat while other 'preferred' seat is located side way

Me yet to try MBO Big Screen (which they claim one of the biggest screen in Malaysia)
MX4D is worth to try @ RM23 only

I'm thinking of the best way possible to watch Dunkirk which I believe is IMAX 70mm. Where should I go for that? I usually just go to standard screen cinemas.

Have you guys experience the brand new Onyx Hall in GSC Mid Valley (Hall 11) using Samsung LED Screen instead of traditional projector ?

Somehow I feel that BigScreen is not immersive enough, perhaps due to not closed enough like IMAX screen.

Nevertheless, do you guys aware that GSC MID Valley and 1Utama already have Laser Projector?

Sure, if price IS part of the discussion, nothing beats a dedicated Home Theatre - built from the ground up. But that would be an endless debate, no?

That's why I said borderline decent. I think the local cinemas are charged right, but there can be improvements. Example, do you know that the current GSC Maxx at MyTown has issues with the subs and the ceiling? The ceiling is rattling and it's been that way for over 3 months now - I watched Aquaman in Dec and Cap Marvel yesterday, rattling is STILL there ffs. Oh and the the top right sub (they have 5 subs, 4 on the ceiling) is busted but of course no one knows wtf I'm talking about when I bring it up.
As for countries, check the list of Dolby Vision cinemas in the US and the UK. As far as commercial goes, they are the benchmark right now. I happen to travel to Houston Texas often enough (family in law there), so AMC @ Katy Mills or Willowbrook is where I usually go to. The best is apparently the Odeon at Leceister for now, but I've not had the chance to visit it yet.

Only if TGV will bring in IMAX Laser

hnnnnnnggnggggg

MBO is at least taking the initiative to make better cinema halls, but still have some ways to go.

The rattling in MyTown Maxx hall can only be heard on the D-box row and the 1 row (D) below it.  As for the sub, I'm very aware of sub distortions. I did raise it with one of the technician yet, but of course they don't understand the issue. They actually don't even understand what a sub bottoming out sounds like, so yeah. 

Guys, is TGV Indulge better or GSC Gold Class?

Planning to catch Avengers Endgame in either one, any recommendations?

(From the photos online - their screens seem really small, compared to GSC Premiere Class in Signature Gardens)

Tracking to be the biggest pre-sales in history, biggest opening of all time and what not, Avengers Endgame is the real deal for the box office. It simply is the movie event of the year! 
So definitely have to watch in the best cinema hall in Malaysia. Now lets clear up all the fuss and muss. Avengers Infinity War and Endgame are the only movies in history till date to be shot 100% on IMAX cameras, making IMAX the 1st choice, no questions asked!
  Check It Out!!
So which IMAX to choose?
Seeing that the Digital IMAX is the only way for Malaysians, my guess is that the newer IMAX branches might be the better choices to go to. Cleaner screen, newer equipment, better environment. I've got my tickets for Endgame @ TGV IMAX Central i-City in IMAX 3D  :thumbsup: Although the other IMAX will still be a good spot for it regardless. To those who wants exclusivity/premium feel, get the IMAX Indulge seats at Sunway Velocity.
IMAX 2D or IMAX 3D?
Last year I watched Infinity War in IMAX 3D @ TGV 1 Utama. I was impressed with IMAX as usual, but not for its 3D presentation, which depends on the movie actually. IMAX 2D would have been equally good, or better for me. Considering the fact that Endgame runs for more than 3 hours, I'm not sure if 3D will be the better option if you are prone to headaches and discomfort. Given the choice I would have preferred the 2D option for Endgame. Unfortunately, TGV has more 3D showtimes to capitalize on the hype  Next time you guys wanna watch a 3D movie, keep track on this site as they suggest movies to be watched in 2D or 3D: https://www.cinemablend.com/3d/
Best non-IMAX option?
Go with BigScreen or Maxx Halls. How far wrong can you go? These halls are already equipped with Dolby ATMOS as well.
Premium halls?
As I have suggested, the Indulge seats in IMAX are your best bets, don't think twice. The rest of the premium halls (Gold Class, Premiere Class, LUXE) will come with a smaller screen and sound. Suitable for those who truly desire comfort and exclusivity over big halls with the masses. Choice is yours
Don't care about which cinema hall or tickets sold out?
Well, the least you can do is get to the biggest hall of your nearby cinema that you know is reliable and consistent.
Good luck on scoring Endgame tixs on the opening Wednesday night 

I thought ONYX was impressive but seems that people here prefer IMAX/MBO Bigscreen?

halp, which cinema should i go for avenger wars? 

is this how GSC screen their movies in Atmos hall?
the image below is representing the screen overall size, and anything wthin the dark grey is what they screening...

isnt cinema usually make the movie fit to the screen till only left with side black/darkgrey bars?

Which is the best seat for imax, the rear better? I don't want to move my head so much



I watched Shazam on Onyx recently (iCity). The screen is very small 

pavilion hall 3
i gt took a pic lah... nt dare post it

I noticed you mentioned that TGV Indulge has IMAX screen, is it a real IMAX screen? And whats the difference of screen between IMAX 2D and Indulge (TGV Sunway Velocity)? Thanks

GSC- Midvalley - HALL 18 with ATMOS

Only 7 rows for middle seats.

Not sure if this is good for 3hours movie. Is the screen really that big? Any can give feedback?
