I finally got to try out the "Ultra Cinema" here for the very first time! It was an "OK" experience--think comfy reclining seats that practically invite you to nap, ticket comes with a popcorn (you can choose between cheese and BBQ) a regular Coke and a small bottled water.
The ticket was about 100 pesos more than what I usually pay at our go-to spots (like Aura, Venice, and S-Maison). That extra hundred did make me raise an eyebrow and wonder, "Is that second drink really worth 100 pesos? "
A couple of things to note: you need to grab your snacks before heading to your seats. It's not quite the VIP treatment you get at Venice, where your food are already waiting!
The seating arrangement is definitely designed for couples, which is sweet! But if you're a group of three like we were, you might find one person playing an impromptu game of "sit-with-a-stranger" with the person next door. They do have little dividers, but they're shy and don't quite block out your neighbor completely.
The screen felt a tiny bit smaller than what I'm used to, and I found the audio just a touch lackluster.
Maybe I can watch a movie again here if I'm already in the area. But if I'm travelling from home (or from the office), I can't justify swapping out my usual cinema spot for this one just yet. read more
