New renovated GV Jurong Point reopens 1 May

Golden Village Jurong Point will reopen tomorrow on Tuesday, 1 May 2012! Its opening on May Day also coincides with the opening of the blockbuster movie Marvel's The Avengers, which will dominate the movie screenings on that day, and will run in both digital and 3D format.

After the complete renovation, the 6 halls will be fully digital and feature wider legroom and better elevation. They are also equipped with the latest 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound system. To mark the much anticipated opening of the newly refurbished cinema, exciting re-opening day promotions have been lined up. They include free Magnum/Vitamin Water with tickets purchased and treats from Aunty Lucy!

With the recent opening of Shaw Theatres JCube at Jurong East, it seems like residents in the west now have a wider variety of choices and greater accessibility to theatres!

The Cathay Cineplex

The Cathay houses a total of 8 halls and 1700 seats. Situated near Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, this flagship cinema of Cathay Cineplexes features The Grand Cathay and The Platinum Movie Suites. Cinema auditoriums are on level 6 while the box office, popcorn counters and Platinum Movie Suites are on level 5.

The impressive Hall 1 (The Grand Cathay)

If you happen to be watching a movie in Hall 1, there is sort of a unique "curtain opening show" before the trailers/advertisements begin screening. A recording welcoming you to the Grand Cathay is played followed by the opening of the curtain and unveiling of the slightly concave screen.

Address: Level 5, The Cathay, 2 Handy Road

Shaw Theatres Lido

Recently upgraded in May 2011 after a S$20 million major renovation, Shaw Theatres Lido now has 10 regular halls and Singapore's first digital IMAX theatre.

The iconic Shaw Theatres Lido

All 11 halls have stadium seating and they have a total capacity of 1960 seats. The IMAX theatre promises the "most immersive movie experience" through superior panoramic views, crystal clear images and brilliant surround sound.

The seating area and 8.2 x 2.7 metres Panasonic screen.
Halls 1, 2 and 3 are on level 6, with the rest on level 5.

The halls all feature ergonomic seats and headrests. 7 of the halls, including the IMAX theatre, are RealD 3D digital halls equipped with the latest Dolby Surround 7.1.

Some of the smaller halls seem to experience minor sound leakage though. Overall, the experience is as impressive as it looks.
