Since MBO Atria has opened, is the verdict still for MBO Starling Mall BigScreen as best cinema hall in KV?

A little feedback on the Onyx halls.


MBO Atria Onyx Hall

The hall is small but the screen sharpness is great. Though the screen is just a bit small to my liking. Like mentioned before in this thread, I agree that it is like watching it on a much larger TV. Colors are clear and crisp.
Seats are same as the couple seats at most MBO's which is smooth straight leather/pleather seats (correct me if i'm wrong). Sound system good.
Watched HTTYD 3 here. Great closure to the trilogy. Hair animation is amazing. Story wise just a bit of a letdown cause it doesn't feel as tight as the first 2.


GSC MV Onyx 3D Hall

Screen is a bit larger (vertically) than the one at MBO Atria. Yes, it includes the 3D glasses that you must put on.
Does 3D movies have the effect of low FPS when panning in scenes? or is it just me? Watched Alita here and when they pan the camera, it looks like it suffers from stuttering. Just a minor thing I noticed. Thank god the actions scenes don't suffer from that.
Seats are more comfortable (softer) than the one at MBO Atria Onyx Hall. But because it is like a sofa seat and it's been awhile since the hall opened, it looks a bit used + some minor stains here and there. Sound system here is good as well.
Alita, worth it just because of the main actress and the action scenes. Story felt a bit rushed, I heard they tried to cram 4 books into this movie. IMO, still worth the watch. Hair animation not as amazing as HTTYD 3 but the overall animation is top-notch. Especially the expressions and action. Hope it earns enough to get a sequel.



If you would like to try Onyx Halls, I suggest you choose seats in the middle or 1 row closer to the screen from the middle. Feels more immersive that way.

A tip for the GSC Onyx 3D hall, there's 9 seats in a row, the middle is actually the fourth seat from the right. Weekend morning [before 12pm] tix is RM13 only.


Overall, I would still prefer to watch movies on larger screens. For example MBO's BigScreen @ Starling Mall. It feels more like a cinema experience to me when watching on huge screens.
Is it true Malingsia only got Fakemaxx screen? Sad.

Sekian, tu je~

TL;DR I laik big things.

GSC 1u which hall? But yes, GSC leather seats are very comfy. It's too bad after a while, sure dirty.
Try looking closely at the seat after a few months, it'll probably suffer the same fate as the MV GSC Onyx hall.



You might be new but.. if you scroll up 2 post you can see my review edi..

anyway, first post of this thread gives a pretty good idea too.

GSC doesn't have big screen though..

Regarding the GSC Onyx hall, don't think they will do 2D for now since they advertise it as the first 3D ONYX screen in SEA.
Image quality here.. as you saw I posted, it stuttered when the camera pans. Other than that, I don't think it's that big an improvement if you like larger screens [immersive] like me. Try it out though, if you can go morning, RM13 is a pretty good deal.

TGV IMAX hall is alright if you like huge screens like me.
If you want, can try their Feel the Max that they do twice a month for RM5 [includes a drink]. first half of the movie is in normal hall, 2nd half is IMAX hall.

My bad. It's TGV IMAX. I usually go to 1 Utama's one.

Regarding the rm5 tix, it's here.
They will update what movie when it's closer to the dates. Usually about.. a week, I think.

Do note sometimes it's 3D.... the first time i went for the movie Glass, no glasses.
Alita had glasses.

It MIGHT be that 7pm ones are 3d [alita]
and 2pm ones are not [Glass] but i've only been twice so I can't draw a good conclusion.

If we take into account the prices of our tickets, compared to foreign countries, I think it's a pretty good deal.
But then again I didn't watch movies in many countries. Just hearsay from friends of HK and TW.

Care to advise on which countries cinema we should keep an eye out for? Can consider to watch a movie if so happen to holiday there.

wow. but damn it's pretty far from me.

go try and review please!

this is good.
Thanks for the write up!
