Comments on: How To Survive A Night At Singapore’s Cinemas http://www.angryangmo.com/2009/03/05/survive-night-singapore-cinema/ Singapore Expat Guide and Blog Fri, 26 Aug 2011 07:56:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Coco http://www.angryangmo.com/2009/03/05/survive-night-singapore-cinema/comment-page-1/#comment-3188 Coco Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:50:08 +0000 http://www.angryangmo.com/?p=1780#comment-3188 If you want to watch a movie that starts on time, I recommend Cathay cinemas. For GV, it will take probably at least 20mins for advertisements to run and for Filmgarde, around 10mins. If you want ample legroom, Filmgarde Illuma/ Kallang meets the requirement. If you are a fan of GV cinemas, go get your "Popcorn" card (registration is free!) and you are entitled to S$6.50/tix on Tuesday. (normal is S$7.50) If you have UOB card, you'll get to watch movies for only S$8 on weekends, not applicable for online booking though. Applies to Cathay only.

Bring your woolen socks and scarf and enjoy! The VIP theaters come with reclining seats with lots of leg space and blankets, if you want to splurge. It also gets crowded mostly on Saturdays, during the week we find it kind of easy to get tickets.
