Why are CityMall cinemas so cheap (₱150), and yet have better projection, better aspect ratio (2.39:1, I think, basta wide), better contrast, and better sound than SM Cinemas na ₱260 na naka 1.85:1 tapos madilim pa, may ACS commercials pa?
I was skeptical on CityMall's until I watched M:I Dead Reckoning pt. One. Damn, may malapit lang naman na sinehan.
Sa mga projectionist ng SM Cinema, bakit ganyan equipment niyo? Haha
SM cinemas has always been on the lower tier of projectionists. They jdgaf it seems. Last time ako nanood dun ni-libre lang (Green Lantern lol).
Ayala and Megaworld are inconsistent. Sometimes may decent (Vertis, Uptown), but for the most part (Eastwood, Trinoma, Lucky Chinatown) it's comparable to SM. Yung iba naman na "gReAt CiNeMaS" na nirerecommend, dinadaan sa Dolby Atmos explosive sound effects. I just want a sharp, punchy , colorful picture, damn it!
The best SM Cinema I had so far, is their Large Format at SM Seaside (Cebu). at kakaunti lang ito meron sa Pinas.
CityMall Cinema I had recently wasn't even Dolby Atmos, and yet the sound is really good — a really flat sound sig that I also prefer on my earphones and my 5.1 sound system at home.
