TGV Cinema

I think this is probably one of the more comfortable cinemas we have in Klang Valley. Spacious big rooms.
The food here is good, with lots of snacks and drinks to choose from. The food counter always has a long queue. The food also taste better than the other cinema in the complex.
I like the way they promote the movies. They always have large posters wallpapered around the venue and action figures of the latest heroes are nicely displayed, so, lots of selfie opportunities.

Ticket prices are not flat rate — the further away from the screen you want, the more you have to pay. Not really a problem if you decide to sit someplace else after a toilet break at some point during the movie and the room is not full, if you get what I mean.
It’s only less busy on Wednesday nights now is because on Thursdays is when they have promos for Maybank card holders (which is like a significant percentage of the population), particularly the BOGO ticket promos. Their Wednesday ticket price is only like RM0.50 more than GSC’s.

This is the cinema I patronised mostly for my weekly movie date. Located at old wing, parking is easier to find compared to new wing. I like that the whole cinema including the fnb area is cold but sometimes it can get a little too cold inside the hall.
Imax hall is really good with a huge screen but I really HATE beanie. Been in beanie twice and I shall never try it again. Beanie is really uncomfortable. They also have a luxe hall which for me is almost 99% similar to normal halls.
I like the food at chillax which is located on the same floor. Give their cheesy wedges a try. It is delicious. Their burgers are not too bad as well.
They are also famous for Royale popcorn which is really inconsistent in taste. Sometimes it is too sweet, sometimes it taste a little more like regular popcorn. The big dipper is also delicious but pricey. Their cheesy tofu is also quite nice.
Definitely get their movie club card if you are a regular like me. You get to collect points and redeem tickets or food or drinks.
Only downside is that the price of food and beverage here is more expensive compared to GSC and they serve Pepsi rather than Coke here.

With technology advancement for televisions, cinema too has been keeping up with technology too. As TGV is the only cinema that has IMAX, TGV Cinema @ 1 Utama has been one of my favourite place to catch a movie.
I don’t simply watch any films that is showing at the IMAX cinema. It has to be something worthwhile because you do need to pay extra for the experience. One of the films that I went for IMAX was Godzilla. Without a word, it was simply awesome.
TGV has a new caramel popcorn, and for those sweet tooth, you gotta try it. All of the popcorn are coated with caramel. At the same time, there’s a café, Indulge, that serves proper meals that you can take in with you for the movies. I do like the potato wedges and their chicken burger. One thing is that the prices are actually overpriced. So if you’re going for a movie marathon, this would be a good choice, if not, have a meal before or if you wanna be naughty, sneak outside food in.

TGV in one utama is always my first choice when I want to watch a movie. This gives such a nice vibe whenever I come here. TGV is also the newer cinemas here in one Utama. It’s located right in old wing where you’ll see an escalator going up right next to Isetan. Since its new, it’s also cleaner as well! The seats here are really comfortable and big too.
TGV also offers regular movies, IMAX movies, 3D movies and even beanieplex. For those of you who don’t know what beanieplex is, it’s a theatre hall where the seats are all leather bean bags! It’s really comfortable and you can treat it as your own bed. If you were wondering about the hygiene, don’t worry bout it cause they clean the bean bags after every show. Sadly, there’s only one hall for beanieplex and it always plays one show at a time. So be sure to go check out if they’re playing your desired movie before you head there!

The newly revamped TGV has a nice feel to it. We’ve watched a few movies here before, so far I have only tried out the regular cinema and the IMax. While it’s obvious that the Imax experience was awesome with its huge enveloping screen, the regular cinema is pretty decent too! The seats are pretty big, and there is ample space for latecomers to pass by your seat.
The popcorn here is pretty good. They claim to have the best popcorn in the biz but I actually prefer GSC’s popcorn (sorry, guys!). Not a deterrent however, as I like the ambience here a lot more.
Now to find a babysitter so I can catch up with the latest movies…

Whenever my boyfriend and I want to go for a movie, this is where we’ll go. This cinema is located in the newly renovated old wing in One Utama. In addition to that, the cinema is also new which means bigger theaters, newer plushier seats and cleaner carpeting!
Also, if you sign up for TGV’s movie club membership, there’s always plenty of freebies that comes along with it such as free movie tickets, free popcorn and etc. I love how the place looks really fancy in comparison to GSC.
Also, the toilets here are also cleaner which makes it pleasant for cinema goers like me to use. The people in charge of the ticketing booth are also nice and friendly. So don’t be afraid to ask if you need help with anything!

One U TGV IMAX is currently my most favourite cinema in Malaysia! The experiance is just great! TGV is currently the only cinema in Malaysia that has IMAX for a theatre standard. Some movies with IMAX are available in both 2D and 3D in TGV.
The screen is massive and wide, its display is also in great high definition, which makes the performance of movie even clearer. Besides, it has really clear sound system (that won’t be too loud or too weak), and the sound system is connected to the audience seating. It can affect audience experiences especially during exaggerating scenes such as explosion or intense environment, those seating will vibrate with the movie’s sound blast, make people to have physical senses while watching the movie.
Well of course, the ticket pricing is surely higher than standard movie tickets. So I will only go for IMAX if I think the actions or technology done in the movie worth the IMAX pricing. You will definitely love the experience once you have tried it!

I had the chance to experience Indulge @ TGV One Utama during an event last year. Indulge is located at the same floor as the ticket counters, and they have a very beautiful entrance. Unlike your usual cinemas, Indulge has a very comfortable lounge with sofas where you can wait while the staffs getting ready the rooms.
At Indulge you can have proper meals instead of just snacks and simple drinks. They have a proper dining area where you can enjoy food such as salads, skewers, mix platter, steak, salmon, desserts and many more. If you are out on date and want to have something special with your loved ones, this is a good option.
Personally, I felt the cinema seats are more comfortable then GSC Gold Class too. They provide very soft and comfortable blankets too, just in case you feel cold. The ticket at Indulge is not cheap as it’s priced at RM45 per Movie ticket. However, I think this is a good option for a special occasion, if you have the extra cash to spare.

The new TGV cinema in the old wing of One Utama is one of the new installations of the building. Everything is new. There are a variety of theaters such as the normal theater, a beanie theater, the luxe and indulge. They also have a café which you could indulge in if you’re too hungry. I haven’t tried it myself but the snack counters are more than enough to satisfy the usual cravings when you watch a movie. The counters are usually not too packed, it was pretty easy for me to buy tickets the couple of times I have been there.
I generally prefer the luxe theater, it’s a little bigger than the usual theaters and the seats are bigger as well. Parking is pretty convenient as long as you know where to turn to when you’re in the building.

When I go to this particular TGV cinema its cause they have a Beanieplex! Whats a beanieplex you may ask, its a cinema with bean bags instead of usual chairs! what more could i ask for. I also prefer this beanieplex to the one is Sunway Pyramid cause this one doesn’t have the huge divider in the middle. Like teh one in Sunway i had to keep getting up just to look at my boyfriend. not fun! So I was super happy when saw that this particular outlet does not have the huge divider and you are free to snuggle up with your partner and enjoy the movie. Its nice cause you can interact with each other too.
Beanieplex tickets costs RM20 per person and I would opt to watch my favorite movies here, just so that I can enjoy it more for example, The Hunger games. Will definitely go back here soon to comfortably catch another movie. Oh did I mention that the seats are super comfortable?

I know, IMAX isn’t only at TGV Cinema One Utama Shopping Center. But I am going to tell why I specially stressed this. I have been watching movie at many IMAX hall, such as Setiawalk and Sunway Pyramid. I didn’t feel any special except the sound system and it is super HD.
Recently, I have attended two movie screenings at IMAX TGV Cinema One Utama, it was the place I can truly feel how IMAX amazed me in my movie experience. IMAX always said, «Feel it in your bones!”“Be a part of the movie.» Guess what? IMAX TGV One Utama did what it promised to the audience. The super duper HD display, without 3D glasses and also not a 3D movie, I thought I was watching 3D. The visual effect by IMAX TGV One Utama is a WOW! I seriously can’t describe with any other words.
Besides, you can find a very very huge speakers were hanging on the top of two back corners. Personally think if it falls, we will die on the spot. I wonder is this the largest hall in the cinema. With the largest screen I have seen in my life, and seats are comfortable. However, I don’t like its couple seat. If you notice the couple seats in TGV cinema, you will know between the couple seat has a big gap. However, the couple seat in IMAX TGV One Utama does look like this. It seems the same like the normal seat. And also, due to too big screen, I didn’t find myself able to see the subtitle at the bottom. This is because it blocked by the audience who sit in front. I wonder how this happen. It look the same distance like normal hall, but it just happens here everytime I watch movie at IMAX TGV One Utama. All in all, IMAX TGV One Utama is a MUST GO cinema hall, in my opinion. Feel something different at least one in the rest of your life.

Moive buster? Movie freak like me? Haha (FOREVER ALONE #ME) LOL!
TGV cinema is one of the best cinema you could find in Kuala Lumpur. In my perspective, it is the BEST for now especially in One Utama. Why you may ask? They have AMAZING ambience– very romantic and cozy. Its like you are with your love ones, having dinner in a fancy restaurant. Literally! Aren’t like any outlet, TGV cinemas in One utama has incredible interior settings and organised. Their popcorn are fresher than other cinemas, REALLY!!! Plus, they occasionally promote new flavor –now’s popcorn. (anyways my brother and I got lucky, tried their new upcoming popcorn and it taste STARTLING so stay tuned :)).
Besides, they have a better movie theater unlike other cinema. Trust me!!! if you love movies, here will be place. Join me to become a MOVIE buster…(nahhhh, just kidding) But seriously though, think about this TGV cinema in One utama. :)
