Hee..hee..hee... It has been ages. Ages since I stepped into the cinema. And how convenient that MBO Cinemas is at The Starling. Yay!
So. I decided to give myself a bit of relaxation by watching a movie. Honestly, I felt like kid again. It is exciting going to the movies!
I love the horror stuff. You know, the scaries and the blood and gore. I wanted to watch The Bride but the timing was not suitable. So I picked Alien : Covenant.
I loved the earlier Alien movies so I thought this latest one should be good for me.
When I wanted to book the ticket, bah! All the good seats were take up except for the Premier seating which cost a bomb. RM49.90 per ticket.
But kedekut punya kedekut, this auntie relented because she was determined to watch the movie. This better be good.
And hey, when I went up to the cinema hall, there was a concierge outside the hall. It's a new thing to me. This goodie bag (of course this is packed into the ticket price) was delivered to me after I took my seat.

Wah! So nice. You can choose what drink you want and since I don't do soft drinks, I chose mineral water. Then there is popcorn! And a pack of egg mayo sandwich.
Digging deeper into the bag, I found a pack of 3 Ferroro Rocher chocolates. Hmmm...not bad.
The seat was spacious and comfortable and really, there is nothing like watching a movie on the big screen with the sound effects bedeboom bedebam everywhere.
So how was the movie? Well, I already know how those aliens look like, how the baby aliens burst out of people's bodies. So it was not so exciting lah. The only thing I enjoyed was the stunning visuals and Michael Fassbender's performance.
Well, I am looking forwards to my next movie experience!
By yourself? That sounds fun and exciting. I never watch movie alone. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI used to love horror movie too but as age catching up, I am more into drama and suspense. Hehe.
Yes, by myself :) I am very much a lone ranger hah..hah..
DeleteDespite the freebies, RM49.90 to go see a movie? No, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThose aren't exactly freebies, it's factored into the price :(
DeleteI loves horror movies... hehe...
ReplyDeleteNice...hee..hee...
DeleteI also just went to the MBO Cinema recently at JB KSL, we watched a Chinese Romantic Comedy instead because we are not really interested in those Superheroes Action movies, I think not only the movie counts, your companion counts too, someone who can laugh, cry together with you and discuss about the movie with you
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I wished my partner could come with me but he is busy at the moment. So I did not ask him to avoid disappointment hah..hah..
DeleteOnce in a while, it is nice and pampering to go for movies, especially with the right companion
ReplyDeleteI feel like going again :)
DeleteAnd the Premier carrier bag looks nice, do keep it
ReplyDeleteI like the bag too and yes, I will keep it.
DeleteI don't think I can bring myself to pay close to RM50 for a movie ticket...even if it comes with freebies! O_o Luckily, you didn't get yourself some snacks before entering the cinema (not knowing that you'll be given a bag of goodies). Next, maybe you can try TGV Indulge in 1 Utama? For a full gourmet and cinematic experience...hehe! ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to spend that money but due to no choice, I relented hah..hah... Oh, TGV Indulge? I must check that out :D
Deletei watched this movie too to accompany my brother who is a Alien movie fan. Too much blood. I paid rm17 already felt it is expensive d so you cannot call yourself kedekut anymore now, not after paying so much for a movie.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to accompany your brother. I wouldn't have paid so much if the regular seats were available.
DeleteMany years I have not been to the movie. I prefer comedy or family movie. The goodie bag not bad le after paying so much for the ticket. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI did not expect the goodie bag. It was a pleasant surprise!
DeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
DeleteHey PH, i love horror movies too but will feel the fright when i get home... Lol.. Yes, I will be watching the Alien Convenant too, it is also showing over here in Sacramento and my nephew has booked 10 tickets.. Better be good, as you said!!
ReplyDeleteMe too hah..hah... Will switch on all the light at night LOL! Hope you enjoy the movie!
DeleteI prefer komedi, horror movie no lah, takut kena heart attack you.
ReplyDeletehah..hah... Komedi pun PH suka :)
DeleteIt has been 6 years since I last jejak kaki at cinema, PH. Lagilah nowadays you can download the latest movies for free... oppsss... secret! Don't tell other people, yeah ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe experience I bet is better than the movie itself. I yang baca ni pun teruja but how come the ticket so mahal nowadays ya. Yalah, ticket+mineral water/soft drink+ferrero rocher+popcorn+sandwich somemore, all includedkan. Kalau bayar RM10 for ticket, how to get all these for free, right? Bancruptlah cinema macam tu.
Eh, I also like horror and thriller tau! I spesies tak kuat jerit kalau tengok horror movie ni. Hahaha!
Hi MD! For me , more than 6 years and feel so excited macam budak2 when I went for the show. Lagi excited when I got the goodie bag hah..hah... If I have the right people with me, I will menjerit during the scary parts. But since I was alone, I behaved myself :D
DeleteRM49.90 for a comfortable movie experience plus all those food and drink, I feel quite reasonable lah, hor... :P Once in a while indulgence~
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!
DeleteHaha....i pun suka tengok cite seram LL tp my darling tu pulak tak suka. Nyampah tau! Hari tu sikit lagi i pun nak layan cite Alien tapi cancel...kawan anak kata tak best!
ReplyDeletePatutlah mahal, termasuk harga goodies hihi...
Alooo...spoil lah your laling. Patut LL dengan Hainom pakat pergi tengok cerita seram, kan? hah..hah.. Ni dok tunggu peluang untuk pergi lagi. Next time nak tengok cerita hantu plak.
DeleteSekali-sekala mahal takpe. Enjoy syiok sendiri...
Hie PH...I am your silent reader all this while...ahahh...I enjoy reading your blog...I once watched midnight movie alone and I enjoyed it very much...my friend bought me a luxe ticket at tgv for birthday present...very nice experience...but to buy it for myself...i think no need lah..hahah
ReplyDeleteHi Siti Nadira! Thank you for reading my blog. I feel so syiok sendiri when you tell me you enjoy reading my blog wahahaha!! Oh, midnight movie alone? You are very brave and your friend is very generous!
DeleteIf I am not away in overseas, I will definitely watch movies every week. It really released my stress and could make me happy. Like you said, being kids again.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I heard of so much freebies being served! I think it was worth the price if you do the maths.
For those 2 hours, I was the happiest gal on earth! :D
