Metroplex

Metroplex has to be the BEST fucking movie theater in Hong Kong! Being bored at home, we decided to spend early Jan 1^st watching movies as a family. Even though the Metroplex was fairly far away, they had an early show of «The Seventh Son» at the VIP theater for $ 100 with BREAKFAST INCLUDED! We figured it was a pretty good deal and went to check the place out.
It was pretty inconvenient to get to the cinema, the 110 van cost a whopping $ 9.80 per person and we still had to hike 4 blocks (!!) to get to the place. We should probably have taken a taxi but taxi nowadays no longer seat 5…
Arriving just at about the time the movie starts, we didn’t have a chance to check out the VIP lounge (!!!), but the 20 seats VIP auditorium did not disappoint. With wide leather seats that can seat someone double my size comfortably, there are buttons which you can use to lower the seat till you are laying almost horizontally!
The movie was pretty forgettable though the special effects are good. The breakfast was surprising tasty. Served in a bento box, the western style breakfast I chose came with 2 pieces if hash browns, a surprisingly crispy and delicious mini croissant, scrambled eggs with a piece of ham, a few pieces of fruit, and a beverage.
We weren’t very hungry by the time we were done so we decided to watch another film, it was «Tak3n». This time it was in a regular theatre, and we were in the regular seats (still leather).
I was impressed that we saw these movies before that are released in US, Taken 3 was not released till 1.5 weeks later in US and 7^th son not for another month.
