The Premiere

Today it's one of those gloomy cold days. The kinda day that you wish you could be laying in bed till noon.

Last nite, a bunch of us visited The Premiere.


The Premiere 

This nifty spot is located in the new extension of Plaza Indonesia - the Entertainment X'enter Centre. I've never paid more than RM20 for a movie ticket, but last nite...that ticket costs me Rp. 100,000! (About RM40+)


My 100k ticket 

There was a promo posted at the reservation desk. Every Standard Chartered card holder is entitled to a Buy 3 free One. Unfortunately, when one of my colleague tried to use his card there was abit of a hassle. The lady at the desk told him...his card had to be either a Gold Visa or a Classic Mastercard. He is holding a Gold Mastercard. The air began to turn kinda sour. I can see my colleague's face turning black and red...and it's beaming. ...I had to find sanctuary. I slipped away and went to take some pictures at the lounge located just outside the two mini theaters.

When I'm done and got back to the desk. Everything has been resolved. It seems like the promotion is only for LOCAL Standard Chartered cardholders. Even if my colleague has the exact card, as displayed at the desk...he wouldn't be entitled for it too...his card is not issued in Indonesia. I guess it's one of those 'localization' flaws.

Anyway, the theather is equipped with about 30+ leather recliners. Fully automated. A push or pull at the tiny lever to your left automatically adjusts your chair to the position you're comfortable with. At the side of these chairs, there's a tiny drawer which stores a soft, brown blanket...for those who would have cold feet when the show gets too exciting or too embrass to lift their bare feet up high and had to cover them up. We thought it would be cold in there, just like in any cinemas in KL. This cinema has everything...from a very clear and bright screen to the very comfy seat...but the air-conditioning wasn't that good. It's a lil too warm for me...but still at an acceptable level.

The show - Kingdom of Heaven. It's a pretty good show. I've heard some not-so-good comment about the show. But this one...I guess you have to see it for yourself.
