Cathay Cineplexes

This cinema is the one I come when there’s BIG movies because I just do not fancy queuing up for food & drinks. Plus you can always book your tickets last minute and still get good seats. I also come here for their Platinum Movie Suites which is quite nice. But now that there’s a better one in TGV.
However the seats here are just meh… Even the couple seats are just so so. Food and drinks here are okay. The environment here is not as classy as tgv though. Most importantly, if you are sitting in couple seats, you only get 1 drinks holder except if nobody seats on either side of your seats. This really sucks.

I used to work here as an intern and I knew the inside outs to the place. :) Brings back a lot of memories to my past.
Well, they are quite outdated when it comes to the systems because they still haven’t implemented online purchase. The tickets are turning into receipt type of material lately and it looked really flimsy to me.
The movie experience was not bad. They also expanded into a couple more new boxes to accommodate to a larger audience. Which is a pretty good thing to do!
However they are not really my first choice for movies as their movie choices are pretty limited, same goes to the movie timing as well.
Their concession was sorta like a small area with not many varieties of food as well if compared to larger cinemas.
The platinum movie suites only screens blockbuster movies and the area is an ideal spot to have movie events with your friends and family :)

Which cinema to go when you forget to do online reservation? That still have ticket even though you are late? Yah, just go straight to Cathay cineplexes at
don’t have online ticket so everybody must go and line up to get ticket.

The thing I like about this place is that there are available seats, it’s not as big as GSC and TGV but there are definitely a lot more space as there are less demands. The entire place is practically for the movie theatre but the cool thing is that there is an arcade. Parking isn’t really a problem around here. It is pretty decent to find parking but there is traffic during peak hours since all the other malls are within the area, I would think that is the only hassle. As for the snacks, it isn’t as good as the other bigger cinemas but it isn’t too bad. I would suggest getting a regular popcorn and soft drink. It is cheaper as well.

So what makes this cinema different from others? Well for starters, it is less crowded on the weekend. Most people choose to go to either 1 Utama to catch a movie or at Tropicana City Mall. Though Cathay looks like its very cozy and cool, I find the toilet a little off. When I meant off, I meant dirty.
The food on the other hand compared to other cinema has less choices. I heard from my friend the popcorn does not have enough caramel flavoring in it as well. Oh, one more thing about this cinema that sometimes I choose to visit is the ticket price. I do not know how it works but sometimes the ticket I purchase here is a little cheaper!
Not to mention, there is an arcade next door where you can burn time before your movie starts or visit the bowling alley two floors above!

Maybe it is a Monday and it isn’t packed like the regular weekends, we arrived to empty counters and the flat screens were restarting. We waited for a minute or so and later noticed the banner that told us to buy our tickets at the smaller counter beside the snacks counter.
Service has always been okay. However, you know sometimes the popcorn is just as important as the movie itself right? The popcorn here is kinda bad, I find it to be cheap– tasting and it is not caramelized enough!
Cinema itself is clean and seats are comfortable enough. There is a waiting area upstairs with seats instead of having to stand around.
Apparently, they have special rates for shows before 1pm on Weekdays and they also have Ladies Nights?! They are valid for movies after 6pm.

In my hometown, Cathay Cineplex seems to be very classy and grand cinema. However, in KL/​Selangor, it looks «okay» compared to GSC and TGV. Well, I am not sure whether the one at e@Curve is the one and only Cathay Cineplex at Klang Valley.
I have been visiting to Cathay Cineplex here for few times. As said, I worked at e@Curve before. Thus, it was quite convenient for me to go for movie right after work. Although Cathay Cineplex is the only cinema at Mutiara Damansara, it is still less crowded because people will choose to go One Utama for movie date. Nonetheless, I love here because you don’t need to rush grabbing your ticket.
Sometimes, you may find movies that has already taken down at other cinema were still showing on Cathay. That’s good. If you missed your desired movie, come to Cathay then. When comparing the popcorn and cinema seats with GSC, I would say Cathay wins the match. They have sweeter popcorn and more comfortable seats. Yet, TGV still better (personal opinion).
Overall, I would recommend you to watch movie at Cathay if you love to have movie at lesser crowd cinema. And I find some movies Cathay actually sells cheaper price. Do check it out at their website.
