Golden Screen Cinemas

It’s the only one in PJ that has the smaller, indie movies (International Screens) so you don’t have to go to Midvalley or Pavilion.
There’s a line here on Wednesday nights, which is not really an issue because even with people taking their own sweet time picking out seats (wtf — it’s seats to a movie, not an engagement ring!), it still moves pretty quickly. The concession lines however, is hit or miss — they never seem to open more counters when there’s a line going.
But yeah, if you’re watching a movie here at night you might want to park on this side of the mall (Level 3 and above) because of the limited access to the carpark after the rest of the mall is closed.

Gsc is located on the same floor as the bowling alley and snooker place. Try to park on the floor of the arcade or the bowling alley if you are going to watch a movie after 8.
The prices of food and drinks here are cheaper than TGV but the lines at the counters here are long perhaps because they are not so efficient. It can also get a little hot at the place you queue up for fnb. However the temperature in the hall is comfortable. The popcorn here is actually really delicious as well plus I love that they serve Coke here.
The couple seats here are quite comfortable but smaller than the ones in TGV. Sound system here is pretty good but 3d screen here is not as good as tgv’s imax. Their D-​box seats are just okay for me.
This is my second most visited cinema after TGV in One Utama as well.

Great place to catch a movie, seats are nice and wide. Best to book your tickets via the GSC phone app

Pretty decent. The waiting area is broad enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic and the snacks are a decent size. Liking the screens and sound systems too.

As a movie junkie, I’m at the cinema at least twice a week catching up on the latest movies. GSC is my second favourite cinema of all time, after TGV. This is because they play many movies that some cinemas dont and also because they have really good movie timings compared to most cinemas I’ve been to. I also feel that the tickets in GSC are cheaper than other cinemas.
GSC in 1 Utama is located in the top floor in the new wing (Also next to the bowling alley). It is usually empty during weekdays and you could easily get tickets. However, on weekends, it would be best to buy your tickets online as the queue can get pretty long. GSC also has one of the best sound systems! Overall, GSC is a really awesome cinema and its one of the best I’ve been to

Located in the New Wing of One Utama on its own dedicated floor with other entertainment such as a bowling alley and arcade, comes one of the best places to watch movies! Whenever I want to catch a movie, this is my ultimate go to place. As you ascend the escalator, you will be greeted with the fresh smell of popcorn and the warm rays of the morning sunlight embracing your face through their glass ceiling feature. Almost dramatic like the movies I watch, I know.
They have a fair amount of halls for our watching pleasure, making sure to show all the latest blockbuster hits on the weekend of the première. This specific GSC also offers Dolby Atmos which is a fairly new kind of movie experience with chairs that vibrate as you watch your movie! GSC is known to bring many promotions and benefits to their members and credit card holders alike such as Hong Leong and for a while, RHB when they had their Friday Specials which was when they would reward their debit card holders an extra ticket per purchase every Friday. Student price is only applicable to students before 6pm everyday at RM8.50 which is the cheapest I’ve gotten anywhere. Although I would recommend you buying tickets online to save you the trouble of queuing, their QR scanner never seems to work which can be super annoying! But hey, instead of queuing in line for tickets, now you just gotta queue to enter the hall which is… One less queue better I guess?

I always found the layout of this outlet a little weird but forgiving for the convenience it comes with which includes its strategic location in PJ.
I always make it a practice to book online to skip the snaking queues. And make no assumptions, they are always busy!
Do make a mental note to park at this wing if your movies ends after opening hours. They will be shutting down the shutters — making it extra hard to get to your car for security reasons. Even better at the cinemas floors or one floor below.
With tgv newly renovations — this gsc outlet has sine real competition.

Practically my favorite movie spot in town!
First of all, they are huge, more than 10 halls in the premise! And then they have the newest D-​Box Theatres which are pretty amazing, and have a THX sound system for the main halls. THX is the bomb mannn! Well Dolby is equally good too, but to be THX rated it’s not easy man.
I love the popcorns here. I don’t know why but they tasted the best as compared to other cinemas. Their food choices are amazing too. From popcorns to nuggets to sausages to corn in cups to chicken meatballs to omg almost any finger food you can think of.
I haven’t been to their Gold class theatres so I won’t know how it feels there. Hmmmm maybe when i have more budget next time ok? :)
Halls were clean and there are enough toilets segregated around the area. Their mini f &b kiosk at the second floor will be opened when there’s a huge crowd downstairs. Very accesible to parking. If you are watching a midnight show, park on the 4^th floor. You will thank me later :)

I frequent GSC @ 1 Utama a lot and the service here can be quite inconsistent. At times, they are good and at times they can be really poor.
My last visit, I felt the staff in charge at the food counter wasn’t efficient in doing his job. He looked rather lazy and did things really slowly. By his actions, it created a long line of people queueing up and I could tell some of them were getting annoyed. I was too.
When he was serving me, he did not really bother to look at me, but just took my order and took his time to get them. I was annoyed because my movie was about to start.
In terms of cinema experience, GSC @ 1 Utama is one of the good ones. Personally, I find the seats are clean and well maintained. As well as the screens and the sound system. I do always come out happy with the experience from the cinema.

I used to go to GSC when TGV in One Utama Shopping Center is closing for renovation. But seriously, I don’t like queuing because it is always crowded (before the online ticketing become trendy). They used to be very good, but now the quality is dropping. Hmm. Hope their management can do something about it.
The most annoying thing is there is no waiting space. When audiences are waiting to go into the hall, you basically have to stand at somewhere else and wait. Sometimes, they only open to enter the hall 5 minutes before or sometime later than the scheduled time. Isn’t it the movie time is fix? Why delay occur, huh?! It is not special or première screening what.
And also a very weird phenomenon happens is their food counters aren’t open all during the peak time, but the other way. Meaning that, when it is not peak, all counters are open. Honestly, this doesn’t make sense. You should open the counters when seeing so many people queuing, shouldn’t you?

GSC in 1 Utama is located at the 4^th floor. It has fast and efficient services with 2 rows of counter for tickets and foods. The cinema is spacious with 13 theatre halls divided into 2 storeys. Hence the halls are huge with lots of seats and extra legrooms. I personally find that the popcorn of GSC 1 Utama tasted better than Pavilion and Mid Valley’s (I don’t know why…). There is also a gold class section at the left of the entrance with luxury services and facilities, and of course the ticket prices are at least doubled of the normal tickets.
GSC 1 Utama provides Dolby Atmos technology in the theatre which connect the movie with the sound system. The sound will move around in the theatre according to the scenes, allow guests to have a virtual feeling that they are inside the movie scene. Furthermore, D-​Box is also available here! It is a motion system that synchronize with the scene action, the guests’ seats will vibrate according to the scene especially during action movies like car accident, falling off, earthquake, bla bla bla… I quite like this one but the prices are slightly higher than the normal 2D tickets, so I only go for those movies which I think are more valuable especially with great actions! 10% discount is currently available if you are a Hong Leong Bank cardholder.

Coming here for a movie première again, this time I’m watching the most violent year.
Always liking how open spaced the counter area here feels, it makes you at least feel better while having to wait in the movie queue.
However, while one utama’s tgv cinema had just been renovated lately, it’s hard not to expect for their gsc to do some slight refurbishment as well.
Sometimes, it does get a bit annoying to sit on old couches with some weird smells, so it all depends on if you’re lucky enough to get a lucky seat where everything is just fine.
Do note that you should try to get the nearby parking if you’re watching a late night movie or else it might be challenging for you to get to your parking spot, as they won’t allow you to exit using the same escalator that you’d come up with.

I’m here every other week for movies. It’s one of the best movie theatres around town for me. It’s double storey, comfortable and very new. There are usually a lot of people there (like any other theatre’s) but I like the vibe of this place.
The escalator is on the 2^nd floor of one utama which leads to the 3^rd floor (where GSC is actually on). There’s only one escalator that will bring you up to GSC so you won’t miss it even if you ask around.
It is connected to (or right next to) the Bowling alley and the video game arcade. It also connects to the parking spot so you can easily access your car after you’re done with the late night movies.
