YES, 10 SCREENS! Now here's the surprise for you. It's neither from the TGV or GSC movie houses. It's MBO! Yup, that's right, MBO for Malaysian Box Office (I think)! Never heard of it before but it sure packs enough punches to beat up the old players.
After lunch, my ex-housemate (who's from Kota Kinabalu for a HQ meeting next week) decided to check it out after I told him about it. His enthusiasm caught on me, so what the heck, might as well see what's there to offer. It's a Sunday anyway and I need to relax more.
Not many businesses at the moment apparently and finding the cineplex wasn't too difficult. It's at the 4th floor (but the lift only had a '3A' button to push). When we came out from the lift, what we saw blew us away. We were like... WOW!
Check out the photos for yourself... no kidding right?
I mean, this place is much more high-tech then both TGV and GSC combined (ok, may have exaggerated a little there). You can even buy movie tickets from a vending machine. Just get a membership card (with a fee of course) and you can watch your favourite movies for less than a ringgit compared to other cinemas around KL.
We ended up watching Batman Begins in a brand new cinema hall in hot red seats. Sound and screen quality is a blast.
Ampang isn't so bad after all. Better than staying in Shah Alam, believe me, ;-)
PS: Had wanted to take more shots but got stopped by one of the cinema dudes. Bummer!
