Eastwood Mall Cinema

The New Eastwood Mall cinema is small and quaint, again very similar to The Podium (view my Eastwood mall fireworks and ambiance review). The plush and new cinema seats just around 100 people, and going in you’ll fell like you’re going inside a private screening.

The price we paid for watching Ang Panday (MMFF entry) was P185. This was P20 above the Podium price of P165, and I was not satisfied with the experience. Here are my reasons why:

1. The cinema is too small. The creen is big alright, but the room is so small that the cinema projector above lights up the whole room and I feel like the room is to bright ecuase of that.

2. Arms of the seats cannot be moved up.

3. The seats are comfortable enough and they can be pushed back to recline. However, you cannot lock the reclined seat in place, so if you want to recline you’ll have to put your weight on the back of the seat to make it recline, similar to a rocking chair. Try doing that for 2 hours.

4. The projector was projecting at 1 foot above the screen, meaning there’s a blank space at the bottom of the screen and the entire movie had 1 foot of it’s top part cut off. It was very irritating and I almost stood up and asked the people to fix the projection. Good thing it went dark towards the middle of the movie and the blank part at the bottom of the screen stopped bothering me.

There you go. I like old Eastwood cinema better and if I had a choice I’d still watch there. Watching at the new Eastwood cinema certainly didn’t bring a nice experience, and I don’t advise you to risk this unpleasant experience with your date.

Conclusion:

Skip this cinema and head to Podium, Greenhills or Rockwell instead. Or if you’re going to Eastwood, just stroll or do the old Eastwood cinemas.
