Great big theatre! Love the comfy seats, superb sound system, cinema projector's clarity, and the nearby toilet! But don't seat too near, the headrest of the seat in front of you could block your view

Watching your favourite movie on IMAX 3D is totally worth it. This is a really good cinema. They got about 3 in 1 place.

If you have purchased your tickets online, use their self-service counters to collect your ticket or head straight to the snacks corner to collect your tickets and snacks.

The carpark is on per entry charge on every sunday and public holiday....so its a good day to catch a movie and do some shopping. Come early though.

Easily one of the longest lasting cinema but well renovated and well maintained cinemas in the whole of Singapore.

Good location. Sheltered all the way from orchard mrt. After renovation, seats r comfortable with firm backs and headrest.

if you're watching on a weekend and plans to buy some movie snacks, you better be early as the queues go crazy minutes before the movie starts.

Try not to sit at the side seats of the hall... you'd get neck-aches trying to get an optimal angle for the 3D effect. Centre seats would be the best.

One of the oldest cinema in town. Have hosted many A-List celebrities from Hollywood and Hong Kong.

Really like the cinemas here but hate the ticket sellers. Have had such bad experiences with them for a few times.

There's a McDonald's inside. Order your popcorn ahead of time online to skip the line.

Classy. Small theaters except the IMAX of course. Gets crowded every time.
adyApril 6, 2014
If you have already bought a ticket online, you'll still have to get there at least 30 mins before show time to pick it up in case of long lines.

Seats have a headrest which I really like, but the seats are joined so if the person beside you moves a lot you feel it.

$19 a pop, and discounts are not valid. So you might want to choose which movies to IMAX.

Toilets conveniently located on the left side of the hall. Spacious too.

Lido 8 & Lido 9 might be small but love the seats. Made long movies easy to sit thru.

IMAX 3D isn't that amazing. Go for normal 3D movies or digital instead.

The place is huge and the cinema is good.
Dimitri S.July 22, 2012
This screen is def not IMAX. Plus, the first 5 rows are SO close that it's more a rip off than something else. Oh yeah; the sound quality is average - missed entire conversation because of that!

Sitting in the middle row and middle column was ok. I didn't like the taste of sweet popcorn.
