I recently splurged to watch Wolverine at the new Signature @ The Gardens cinema, a swanky new cinema that opened in The Gardens, Midvalley. Unlike the normal GSC cinemas, Signature offers premium movie viewing in a comfortable and elegant atmosphere with a choice of only twin seats so do be warned if you intend to come in a group of 3! It is also one of the few disabled friendly cinemas in KL. Read below for my review of GSC Signature Cinema at The Gardens.

Your premium experience begins at the entrance of the cinema itself where everything is quiet, plush and a total contrast from the bustling crowds outside the normal GSC cinemas. The ticketing counter is also quiet with minimal queues which makes ticket buying a real breeze compared to the long queues in the old wing.

Dessert cafes and comfortable chairs and sofas are made available outside the cinema entrance for movie-goers to relax on before their movie starts. If you haven’t had your dinner, don’t fret as there is a cafe downstairs where you can purchase your food from and have it delivered to you in the cinema itself to enjoy while you watch!

The cinema has a novel way of informing the movie goers that their cinema is open for viewing with a funky strip with the cinema numbers that will light up when it is open. Enter the cinema and you will be thrilled to find plush twin seats with an arm rest that can raise for cozier seating arrangements for couples. A little table is provided by the side for you to place your drinks or food to there are no dangers of spillages during your movie. I liked how their seats were placed which meant there was no danger of people blocking you and you get to enjoy lots of leg space all around you.

Unfortunately, it is not all wonderful which I discovered when I went to the toilet before the show started. The toilets are nicely done but only one out of three cubicles were working as the other two were disgustingly blocked. It is a rather typical Malaysian habit which makes it pointless to have nice toilets if they can’t even be maintained properly.

Ticket prices at GSC Signature are naturally at a premium compared to the normal cinemas and are listed below:

  • Saturday, Sunday, Public Holidays – RM20
  • Weekdays except Wednesday – RM18
  • Wednesday & Disabled – RM15
  • Shows before 6pm – RM16
  • Children – Normal Price

2 Gold Class cinemas are also available with tickets priced at RM60 for movies on any day.

Do check it out the next time you are feeling rich and in want of some luxurious movie-watching! :)
