Almost can confirm now there will be 2 movies worth watching in Batam for me,hehehe... i will definitely pick a less crowded theater tho.

The best CNY movies as compared to all other previous CNY years (a personal perspective). Non-stop action,good special effect and a good simple-easy-to-understand enough storyline w/o the need to read the synopsis. Not a time of boring moment throughout the entire movie,especially for someone like myself who would doze off on part of it if they are some parts that turn boring (at times),hehehe...i didnt get a chance even to doze off in this one.
The Storyline :
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.
This movie has gone beyond my expectation. There's going to be a part 2 of the same movie at a later year,hehehe...and its well worth the 75k rupiah for the sweet box ticket (for 2 pax).
Oh, and to my surprise, ONLY 8 person (inclusive of myself and my girl) were in the theater when i was inside the cinema,hehehe...i counted. So i break a little of my own rule today, my girl bought a box of siew mai and 2 ice lemon tea w/o ice at 70k rupiah and delivered into the theater for us halfway thru the movie. They actually forgot about it and my girl went after them for it in the middle of the movie. The ice lemon tea came with ice in them, and they brought it back AGAIN to exchange it.
So THAT was some disturbance for myself while watching a good movie. Hmm...a good movie means i didnt get a chance for some bbbj etc etc,hehehe...nevermind tho, more days to come since another tentatively movie was coming up on screen soon (the Jackie Chan one).
Jackie Chan movie not yet available at Harbour Blitz theater or Kepril Mall. Only at Mega Mall, Nagoya Hill Mall and BCS Mall.
My last year's Best CNY movie as below (personal perspective) :
Exchange Rate was at 10200/SGD for 1st 2 days of CNY,i changed S$200. Today, i was quoted 10150 but i still manage to get 10200/SGD. I change a bit only as i already change most of my S$ to IDR last month (January 2019) at around 10400/SGD plus minus.
9.5 out of 10 money changers were close on the 1st 2 days of CNY 2019. I changed my bits of S$ opposite formosa hotel (only one opens). Harbour Bay exchange rate is 10100/SGD to 10200/SGD. Surprisingly, the most competition occurs mostly at ferry terminals,hehehe... and this scenario happens only during CNY. Also the only time of the year which i find Singapore money changer offers better than batam's exchange rate.
Heading to Tiban soon....
Cheers!
