SM Mall of Asia

Premium has free popcorn and drinks, seats are reclining but I felt that it is a bit far from the screen. If you prefer the screen to fill your peripheral vision, better to sit closer.

Even though I was at eye level, it may be disadvantageous if the person in front of you is tall because their head pops out

The seat is comfortable for a regular cinema. It’s spacious and even has a recline.

Well, this is my favorite IMAX theater. That said, seating matters just as much. I managed to get a ticket, but I ended up on the right side of the theater, in the seat closest to the railing. There's a railing for each seat. It was quite distracting, and even the lights on the stairs were distracting, so it really depends on where you're seated. I feel like if you're in any of the corners, it might be a hassle because of the rails they installed. So choose your seat wisely.

Had a great experience here. One of the best, and arguably the best theater you can watch a movie in, period, in the Philippines. So I tried IMAX for *Michael* because of its music and audio, and it was great. Loud, clear, and awesome. L21 is a pretty good seat. You get a very immersive experience here without having to lean in or look too far side to side.

I was seated near the left side and back of the cinema. I can hear the sound of another movie during its loud scenes coming from the cinema behind. It seems the sounds pass through between the two cinemas.

First time watching in Premium (PHP 990) and the experience was great. Great audio, great visuals, and in my opinion, still the best IMAX theater you can watch a movie in. My few gripes: 1. I'm seeing very minuscule dust specks, which is the OCD in me. But it never affected my viewing experience. 2. Very slow concession area for popcorn and drinks. I guess this is a problem for all cinemas. Be 30 minutes early to get your food without rushing! 3. I'm really sad about the ~20% screen gap that's unused. Since it's not purely black or even a curtain, it can affect viewing experience ever so slightly because you see an unused gap of the screen. The Odyssey is famously the first full feature 100% IMAX filmed film. It kinda affected me since I'm very notorious about screens and immersiveness. 4. They seem to turn off the AC on last showtimes.. This is not necessarily on MOA IMAX only, I've experienced this in multiple cinema but FYI

quite close but if you don't want to see edges it's quite right. Fast action scenes tend to get blurry or slightly choppy for being near. Make sure to get your food early because lines get too long (especially if your food needs a fryer). I got my popcorn for like 20 minutes and I wasn't able to get my chicken popcorns because I'll be late for the show to think that I have ordered advanced online. I'm getting used to the comfort of lazy chairs I kinda don't appreciate having little space for things and sharing armrests with strangers for 3 hours.
