I had an okay time.
SM Marikina still has decent cinemas. The screen sizes are small, but it's cozy enough and fine for normal movies. There are a few blemishes on the screen, but it's passable. I don't remember it being dim, so that's good.
The seats are great, so that's a plus. Overall it was a good experience, great for non-blockbusters or just random movies. It's fine here. Similar experience to Cinema 4!
