As someone who had to go to Cinema '76, Teatrino, Fully Booked’s U View, PICC, Cine Adarna, Sine Pop, and where else just to watch these so-called amazing “indie” movies, they couldn’t be anymore wrong. Lmao. The atmosphere, seating (dear lord that seating), and equipment are in the same tier as your elementary school film showing, except they have the chutzpah to charge money.

The best cinematic experience for me is still purchasing a random ticket in Trinoma’s Cinema 4 to see Battleship. The screening had “2D” on it for some reason (2D naman lahat, di ba? lol) but the picture quality is the brightest and sharpest I’ve ever seen from a projector. Shame it’s quite possibly the worst film of that year, but there’s no denying the mouth-watering PQ. My succeeding attempts to watch at that exact same cinema wasn’t able to replicate the beauty of that particular screening.
