Welcome to the find it. seed it. page for Leisure. This page is currently a work in progress but over time will show you an overview of the city based on the reviews, comments and general city information. Bangkok is the only city now but we plan on adding more.
One of my preferred locations to enjoy a flick.
I appreciate the cafe lounge area opposite the ticket counters. A great place to meet and have a cuppa before the movie. Also, because of the fact that Emporium is dwarfed, literally, by Paragon and Central, it is sometimes easier to get a decent last minute seat here. And the comfort factor here is on par with the rest of the best. Plus, the toilets aren't a half marathon away, just in case you enjoyed too much coffee prior.
Not as comfy as the more posh cinemas in Paragon, Central, etc.
Great mix of movie-goers here though. And ticket prices are noticeably cheaper than at the more up-market cinemas.
Top notch cinema in terms of comfort and picture/sound quality.
I watched Beowulf in 3-D here, the only place in town with the capability to screen digital 3-D. I'll reserve my comments about the movie itself but the special effects rocked!
Can be a bit taxing to get to the actual theater itself if you're in a hurry just due to the labyrinthine nature of Central World itself
The quality of the services and amenities offered here are great. Extremely comfortable seating with great sound system quality.
What I do notice about this location more than any other is that it seems the majority of the movie-goers (read hi-so) seem not to have a problem with taking mobile phone calls, even multiple phone calls, during the midst of the movie. At least for me this is the height of rude and disrespectful behaviour.
Also, especially in the early screening days of any film, the best seats sell out quick!
Good because this is one of the few cinemas in town that screens the lesser known films that garner great acclaim but still remain on the sideline in the shadows of Hollywood films.
Not good because this is the one theater so far in BKK where I have had complaints about the comfort of the seating and the spacing of the rows. If you're even just average height (for Westerners) you might find yourself squirming and fidgeting to try and get comfortable.
While I do enjoy a few hours strolling the corridors of MBK people watching and soaking in the barely contained chaos of the place, I can't say that I enjoy the movie viewing experience nearly as much.
I remember that the theaters themselves had an almost cramped feeling due to the smaller size plus that fact that there weren't all that many empty seats. Throw in the fact that as with many Thai venues, the audio levels bordered on deafening, and the sound system is nowhere near as nice as those in the newer cinemas.
One of the newest cinemas in the heart of the city, the theaters here are about as comfy as you could want. I've never been here when they new releases are as packed at some of the more popular cinemas, so if you don't like crowds, this one might be a good option for you.
I remember getting a bit turned around trying to figure out where to buy the tickets, with the entrance to the actual complex on one level and the ticket counter one or two floors down.
I've found that this is one of the few places in the city that screens indie and less than mainstream Hollywood flicks. Kudos.
The cinemas themselves aren't as comfy as those in Paragon or Central World, but hey, I've never had any comfort issues here.
The gripe that I do have is that the showtimes posted on the BKK area cinema internet resource www.movieseer.com are often slightly wrong or just plain wrong. One time I showed up to catch the day's last screening of a film only to find out that House RCA had not planned on showing it. Irritated to say the least.
They also have an in-house cafe so you can chill out with your caffeinated beverage of choice and peruse some of the hoards of older reading material while waiting for you flick of choice.
Really enjoyed this film.
Ed Norton is 1 of my favourite actors and he nails it in this film. I didnt actually watch the first film although I was a big fan of the original series, so its hard to compare the films
The SFX are great although i kinda think that a 15 foot hulk is silly compared to the TV series, but it works well in the film.
This doesnt feel like a 'typical' Marvel film, as its quite gritty which is cool i think and it helps to create a lot more tension and u can connect more with the characters
Tim Roth is also 1 of my favourite actors but his role as a super 'bad-ass' soldier just doesnt really work for me
I wont spoil it for any1 who hasnt yet seen it, but the final scene sets up something BIG for a sequel/joint film
100baht for any1 who can spot the cameo by the original hulk Lou Ferigno
WOW - what a steaming turd of a film
Just Awful. Shocking. Pants. Probably one of the worst films I have ever seen
Had I taken a girl here for a first date she wouldnt be returning my calls for sure
I really dont know where to start. The storyline was really patchy and badly thought out, and the acting was worse then dyer. It actually came across more like a cheap horror-spoof that was whipped together by a group of pre pubecent kids in a weekend then a serious flick.
Even though i got the 80baht tickets (mon-wed 8:30pm onwards) i still felt like id been robbed
For those who do go and see it the ending is probably one of the lamest endings i have ever seen.
