Cinemas are cinemas. At the end of the day, the multiplex places are much of a muchness, with most punters choosing their cinema for either convenience, it's near home or work - for a cheeky "business meeting" matinee, or what is playing.
My current favourite (not the most convenient, but shows all the latest flicks), is the AMC Cinema in Pacific Place. What I particularly like about this venue is their consistency. All the theatres are about the same size, holding over 100 persons (only two are maxed out at 77 and 39), they have lovely wide plush seat, the rake of the theatre means you get a decent view from all seats, and the theatres are square (HK seems to have a lot of cinemas which are like runways, where the screen ends up the size of a postage stamp from half way up). There are six screens, which show lots of 3D movies, and a ripping sound system (but could do with being a louder, as I am getting deaf in my old age).
Other facilities include the standard concessions stand, and a bar, which I have never used nor seen anyone use. The toilets are large and clean, and there is a small secret toilet by the bar (in case you need swift mid movie relief).
This theatre is not as big as their sister in Festival Walk, so the movies often turn faster, and you won't have as many options, like seeing the 2D version. However, as well as the local and international blockbusters, this venue shows more of these "live" theatre shows that seem to occur in a few HK cinemas. Unlike the Palace in IFC, the AMC in Pacific Place only shows a handful across the weekend.
Movies come out on Thursday, and there are discounts on Tuesdays and before noon. read more
