TGV — Attraction in Johor

Hey there, movie buffs and shopaholics! Let me tell you about the TGV cinema at AEON Tebrau, the happening shopping mall in town - though it feels more Singapore then Johor since it’s swarming with Singaporeans on weekends. But wait, before I dive into it, let me share some good ol' memories. Back in 1996, yours truly had their first-ever movie experience at the TGV in my hometown, Klang. Ah, those were the days of school adventures and blockbuster movies!

Fast forward more than 25 years later, and here I am at another TGV, but this time at AEON Tebrau.

Alright, let's get to the point. TGV cinema here rocks! The place is cozy and comfy, perfect for chilling out with friends or a date night. Their benieplex is not my favourite since I find the huge bean bags unsightly and uncomfortable. Of course the screens are massive, and the sound quality is on point - they sure know how to keep you glued to the screen, even if you've got a short attention span like me!

But let's not forget about the snacks! They've got all the classics - popcorn, chips, and soda galore. Oh, and don't be surprised if you find yourself drooling over the smell of buttery goodness. Though as a vegetarian I can’t share my bits on their sausages and nuggets - it seems to be out of stock, I guess it’s a hit!

Now, I gotta hand it to the staff; they're a friendly bunch. Ticketing and getting in are smooth, even during the rush hours. Plus, they've got that Klang-style warmth and hospitality.

One tiny thing, though - when it gets packed, it's REALLY packed! But hey, you get to catch up with old friends and make new ones, so why not, right? Also, this ain’t on the cinema team, more like the mall team, the parking and directions are terrible and after a midnight show when all entrances are closed, you can literally be lost to find the way back to the car- signage and special mid night movie goers segment at the park bays would be really helpful.

So, in a nutshell, if you're up for a movie adventure in a buzzing mall, head straight to TGV at AEON Tebrau. It's got the perfect mix of old-school nostalgia and modern cinematic delights. Go grab your popcorn, kick back, and...

The mall is huge, good thing is lots of parkings and difference entrance.

Came here for midnight movie🍿, not to blame the cinema because they're doing well for their service and everything. But the mall exit is a terrible experience for me. The machine isn't working well with cashless payment as if all the machines are acting the same, not only me but I saw many cars was stuck too🥺.

Saw two or three securities pass by but literally no one care about us, until we have to return back to the cinema and ask the guard sitting there. He directed us to the basement to look for the security guard, thought it was coming till the end but who knows the machine not accepting RM10 bank notes, coins are unable to insert as it was stuck as well, and communicate with security guard for several times only get small changes to exit the parking☹️.

I spend around 40-50 minutes just to exit a parking which is cashless friendly but not really friendly😔(?)

💫Lesson of the day: if you happen to visit here, take ticket lah if you want to go with...

I’d like to say thank you to the shift manager and the staff who were around yesterday and the day before. The world is truly a better place because of all of you. My 9-year-old left his bag in either hall 5 or 6 on Saturday, along with his wallet, and phone, and some miscellaneous stuff. And this mom-of-the-year didn’t even realize it until we were about to go out again yesterday. Imagine my horror when I noticed that he (I, let’s be real, I’m responsible for him) left his bag in Aeon Tebrau! He was more than ready to part with his stuff but I reckoned another look wouldn’t hurt anyone. So we went again yesterday, approached the staff, lo and behold, they found it! They actually kept it safe. Everything was still in the bag, untouched. Thank you so much to all the staff in TGV Tebrau, your honesty is very much appreciated. I hope when you go to work, you won’t be stuck in a jam; when you charge your phone, it gets to 100% quickly; and when the same thing happens to you, more good people will do the...
