It was an "OK"…read moreexperience--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.

If you want to order more snacks, a person will take your order and bring it to you! The bed is very comfy and for each side of the bed, the area for your legs and head can be adjusted for your comfort while you eat and/ or watch the movie. A blanket is provided to ensure you don't get chilly in the theatre. Arrive there when the movie is scheduled to start because the doors do not open earlier! *I went to see "Hello, Love, Again" during its opening week and I was disappointed to find out that the souvenir cup that is free for people who hold non tempur cinema tickets are not given to people with tempur cinema tickets.

The reclining seats did not recline as comfortably flat as others we've been to and there is no compartment for a bag or shoes. That's partly the reason for missing one star. The other reason for docking a star was the AC which you could clearly hear during silent periods in the movie. It wasn't even cold considering how loud it was for a theatre. The snack choices included were popcorn and soda from Taters or coffee and cookies from a coffee shop next door. Since we just had dinner somewhere prior to watching, we opted for the coffee with cookies. Not a bad experience but it is nothing to write home about either.

This is more my style than the big cinemas. It feels like you're watching in a private theater with an audience limited to 25 or so people. I love that they use real La-Z Boy seats and not the fake recliners that are not at par with the real thing. The hefty price comes with unlimited popcorn and drinks. Although it's not as romantic as watching in a regular cinema with your loved one where you could be hip to hip (literally), I do love the space. The legroom is awesome - you could fit an entire row in front. I love that I could quietly watch my movie and feel like I'm just at home in a very expensive seat, getting popcorn served without having to get it myself. It really is a movie watching experience fit for a diva.

I didn't know what to expect; I just wanted to see the movie. 350 pesos gets you in. That's inclusive of popcorn and water. There's a lounge area inside where you can wait for the previous screening to end. There weren't enough seats for everyone waiting, so most people had to stand around awkwardly looking for a place to lean. Inside, it's quite cozy. It's not a colossal cinema because the lay-z boys are spaced pretty far apart, and each pair of seats are separated by a table in between. They were veeeeery comfortable seats--soft, fluffy, and could be reclined. If you're someone who has a pattern of falling asleep in movie theaters, this could be a problem because the comfy seats make it pretty easy to doze off. They take your popcorn preferences beforehand, and I ordered cheese, but honestly, I didn't care much for it. I don't even like popcorn so much, so that part of the deal was pretty much useless to me. While I did enjoy the experience, I don't think I'm going to make it a habit to pay so much more just for comfortable seats and not much else. Buying popcorn and water separately will still amount to less if I bought regular movie tickets. However, it wasn't a particularly bad experience.

Honestly, I don't need mind-blowing technology like an overwhelmingly oversized screen, and smokes and mirrors; all I need are fine comforts combined with well-maintained facility. Of course, first would be great snacks. Apart from the standard popcorn, Power Plant has Buy The Bucket and Potato Corner. I usually get the tofu chips with sour cream and cheese sauces from the former, or barbecue fries from the latter. Either of the two goes well with a tall glass of rootbeer. Then, the aircon gives off that cardigan temperature and the floors are clean. The seats are comfy too, meaning, the cushions still have that nice luxurious bounce and the hinges don't squeak when I shift my body every time something riveting happens onscreen. Also, there's enough space: the head of the guy in front of me doesn't block any part of the screen, the leg room is ample and there is enough distance between me and the people beside me. (We could be the closest of friends but any relationship is destined to end badly the minute a person ruins a movie moment for me.) Most of all, in my entire history of watching at Power Plant, I don't remember having to share the theater with an ignoramus who behaves like he's in a conference room. I don't know if I've merely been lucky with this particular place but this is simply one of my biggest pet peeves and I swear I have employed the help of powerful witches in seeking revenge from loudmouths who have done much less.

I'd say this theater is at par with Gateway's for the comfy seating and capacity, and immersive viewing. I just find the picture of lesser contrast but their sound quality makes up for it though it can be too blaring at a point. Ranging from Pho240-260 a seat, it's a deluxe choice for a movie given Power Plant Mall is one of the more upscale shopping areas. Not too shabby but they really have to renovate their washrooms to compete with Century City that's just down the street.

BUT, there is the rare moment that I must watch a movie so that I get the FULL experience. Of all the cinemas, I choose to watch at Promenade Cinemas. Their cinemas are great because of the ambience, coziness, and not to mention the great sound system. If you can, try watching your movies at the Dolby Atmos cinema. Also, an essential element to the movie, the popcorn. Their popcorn is always buttery and evenly coated! LOVE IT! :) I always order a bucket for myself (hehe!). Best of all, cinema is always clean and their comfort rooms are spotless! Promenade Cinemas are excellent! You will get your money's worth + the best movie experience! :D

The…read moreGreenhills cinema is proof that if you pay attention to what the people want, it pays dividends. I like watching in Promenade because the cinemas and bathrooms are always clean, the seats are comfortable and they've got more than enough snack options close by. If I'm craving something salty, I buy the popcorn or fries. If I'm looking for something sweet, I buy an almond pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Another thing to consider is that they've got a big Fully Booked branch on the same floor so I usually browse through their new titles before heading in to watch the movie. That or I get lost in the haven of household items that is Gourdo's or the obsessive compulsive's organizing paradise, Beabi. The cinema also prides itself in having the Dolby Atmos sound system in some of the theaters so that's something to keep in mind when you're looking for an immersive cinema experience. Also, Greenhills is always packed on weekends so if you plan on watching a film that's just opened, either come early to buy tickets or prepare to watch at a later time. That also means that parking in the area can be challenging. If you hate to wait, take advantage of the mall's valet service. If there is anything to complain about, it's that their air conditioning is almost always turned up high, so bring a sweater or someone to hug. Or both, I recommend having both.

The last time we watched a movie, which was Avengers: Age of Ultron, it was at center stage, which meant that there were a thousand seats in the cinema. MoA cinemas are really big, and this was even bigger than usual. The fact that the screens were huge didn't detract at all from the experience though: it still felt like I was viewing at a comfortable size and angle, even if, technically speaking, I was a little farther away from the screen than usual. However, one thing I kind of hate about SM Cinemas is their snackbar price. Seriously, the size of their large is 90 which is way more than pretty much every other cinema out there. However, if you're not getting popcorn, SM Cinemas is definitely much more affordable, and offers a pretty solid viewing experience every time.

Glorietta 4 Cinema…read more English Since my last visit in 2025, Glorietta 4 Cinema has undergone a major renovation. The entire cinema area feels modern, clean, and much more upscale than before. It's located next to Timezone (similar to Dave & Buster's or the former Gameworks for U.S. visitors) and near Metta City, making it easy to spend the day shopping, eating, and catching a movie. One of the standout features is the massive floor-to-ceiling LED display that stretches across the wall and continues toward the Timezone entrance. It immediately gives the cinema a premium, high-tech atmosphere. Before entering the theaters, you'll pass the Movie Snack Bar, which offers popcorn in different flavors, drinks, and combo meals. During my visit, a regular popcorn bucket was ₱135, while a bottle of Wilkins Pure water was ₱45--both very reasonable for movie theater concession prices. Glorietta 4 offers several viewing experiences, including Luxe, Giant, and Dolby Atmos auditoriums. One thing to keep in mind is that guests are typically allowed into the theater only about 20 minutes before the scheduled showtime. I watched my movie in Cinema 6, which is a very large auditorium with comfortable La-Z-Boy-style reclining seats. The recliners are manually extended instead of powered, but they're spacious and comfortable enough for a relaxing movie experience. Our 5:00 PM showing cost ₱730 for two people (₱365 per ticket), which is roughly $6-7 USD per person depending on the exchange rate. Compared to many movie theaters in the United States, I thought this was an excellent value considering the upgraded facilities and comfortable seating. Overall, the renovation has transformed Glorietta 4 Cinema into a modern and enjoyable place to watch a movie. Whether you're a local or visiting Makati, it's definitely worth checking out. Tagalog Mula noong huli kong pagbisita noong 2025, malaking pagbabago ang ginawa sa Glorietta 4 Cinema. Mas moderno, malinis, at mas premium na ang buong lugar. Katabi ito ng Timezone at malapit sa Metta City, kaya magandang isama sa isang araw ng shopping, pagkain, at panonood ng sine. Isa sa mga unang mapapansin ay ang napakalaking floor-to-ceiling LED screen na umaabot mula sa isang pader hanggang sa pasilyo papunta sa Timezone. Talagang nagbibigay ito ng modern at high-end na dating. Bago pumasok sa sinehan, may Movie Snack Bar na nagbebenta ng iba't ibang flavor ng popcorn, mga inumin, at combo meals. Noong bumisita kami, ang regular na popcorn bucket ay ₱135, habang ang Wilkins Pure bottled water ay ₱45, na sa tingin ko ay makatarungan ang presyo para sa isang movie theater. May iba't ibang klase ng sinehan ang Glorietta 4 tulad ng Luxe, Giant, at Dolby Atmos. Karaniwan ay pinapapasok ang mga manonood 20 minuto bago magsimula ang pelikula, kaya mas mabuting dumating nang mas maaga. Nanood kami sa Cinema 6, na napakaluwag at may mga La-Z-Boy-style reclining seats. Manual ang pag-recline ng upuan, pero komportable at maluwag pa rin para sa buong pelikula. Ang 5:00 PM screening namin ay nagkakahalaga ng ₱730 para sa dalawang tao (₱365 bawat ticket). Para sa bagong renovated na sinehan, komportableng upuan, at magandang overall experience, sulit ang presyo. Kung nasa Makati ka o namamasyal sa Glorietta, magandang lugar ito para manood ng sine. Malinis, moderno, at sulit ang experience kaya babalik ako rito sa susunod kong pagbisita.

What? People only watch films in this cinema when Greenbelt 3's cinema is full? Are you kidding…read moreme?! During long and boring breaks in college, my friends and I would watch movies in all the cinemas in Makati. And we've learned that the first place to go to when you want to see a movie is Glorietta 4's cinema. See, they offer more choices and they usually have the new movies. Sometimes, it's cheaper to watch a film here! Because more and more people are finding out that this place isn't that bad, it gets pretty packed. The lines on the opening day and weekend for Avengers: Age of Ultron were pretty long and the whole floor was packed with people. The guards here really check your bags and there have been times when my friends and I were made to leave our cameras with the guard. I suggest reserving or buying your tickets online if you're seeing a really popular film at peak hours. If not, just buy the ticket when you get there. Don't forget to get some snacks while you're at it.
