Reports are mixed: laser projection can look crisp, but the small screen and uneven sound limit the premium feel.

Great cinema overall, but if I had the choice, I'd go with other IMAX screens because of the screen size. For me, I go to IMAX for maximum immersion through screen and audio, and this one falls a bit short on the screen since it's on the smaller side. I think it's even smaller than Trinoma's A-Giant.. But other than that, the experience here is still great. I'd still recommend this cinema for anyone living very near SM North, but Trinoma's A-Giant can compete (or even beat it) at almost half the price.
The projection was crisp and the seats were very comfortable. The cup holders are positioned lower than the armrest which is new to me so I had look down every time I placed my cup, else I might drop my drink. Pero sanayan lang talaga sa ganung klaseng upuan, hindi naman negative.
My cinema experience was excellent, but I had trouble hearing some of the dialogue in the movie because of the audio mixing. Could have been specific to the cinema sound system or the Odyssey itself.
Overall great experience and would recommend it to friends and family
