With a plethora of new cinemas cropping up almost in every corner of the country every year, Malaysian moviegoers are no doubt spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the perfect cinemas to indulge in cinematic pleasure. It's not just the quantity but the quality. As more cinemas open nationwide, the exhibitors also introduce various kinds of hall and seat types to keep things fresh and attractive to consumers, thus improving the quality of cinematic offerings. No babysitters for your kids this weekend? No worries, bring your little ones along to one of the kid-friendly halls! Want to fully immerse yourself in a movie? Try the new MX4D seats which give you motion and live special effects! Think that bigger is always better? Catch a movie in IMAX or Big Screen! Confused with all these different options? Check out below the types of halls and seats available in Malaysia:

Let's start off with the standard halls (RM8-20 for 2D, RM12-40 for 3D) available at all cinemas nationwide. The seats in these halls are normal seats with no bells and whistles, though some seats located towards the back of the hall (which offers better visual advantage) are more expensive than those located nearer to the screen (Photo source: GSC Cinemas).

Most standard halls also have twin seats (paired seating for couples) (RM30-40), usually situated at the final two rows at the back of the halls and are more expensive than standard seats.

Then there are also Beanie halls (RM54) from TGV Cinemas, which offers the fun seats in both dedicated Beanie halls (available in 12 locations) and Standard halls with Beanie seats (available in 5 locations) (Photo source: TGV Cinemas).
