Smart Parenting Review: Opus Mall Premier Cinemas' Family Cinema In Quezon City

Little ones can hop on the couch 

Daddy Dreus and Mommy Love Cosio let their two kids choose the comfy couches over the regular seats during their movie-watching of Illumination's Despicable Me 4. The family couches, conveniently positioned at the front, were spacious enough to fit the four of them, and they were all smiles with their feet up on the wide ottoman. On the sides of the couches are cup holders that add more ease for tumblers and drinking bottles.

There's a total of eight couches inside the Family Cinema, and currently they don't require any prior reservation or seat selection to avail of these unique and fun features.

Cuteness overload from the door

Strike a pose! Mommy Rhea Marie Ortiz and her kids took the opportunity to pose with the Chipmunks trio and the underdog snail Turbo before walking inside and finding their seats. These characters, located by the colorful entrance of the Family Cinema, add more excitement to the unique experience. She also found the padded aisles thoughtfully done for the safety of energetic children who like to jump and run around.

Kid-friendly sounds and lighting

Nanay Jecka Tinio brought her son to the Family Cinema, and was thrilled to see the ambient lighting and kid-friendly Dolby 7.1 Sound System. For her, kids can be kids even inside a movie house wherein they can enjoy either playing, watching, or both. As for the parents, she finds the total experience worth it at Php 600 per movie ticket.

A timeless scent that families share

Avid moviegoers Mommy Caren Basco and her daughter found an opportunity to bond inside the Family Cinema, and they were instantly wowed to notice the large, 15-meter screen and to know the cinema operates with laser projection technology. Beyond the impressive features, what they super loved was the bubble-gum scent aroma inside the cinema that made their time together evoke lovely mom-and-daughter moments.

Family Cinema in Opus Mall was well thought of in a way that kids can quickly feel at ease and they can be their cheerful selves.

The popcorn tumbler is sold for Php 110, while the large bucket is at Php 130. Meanwhile, other convenient offers are potato chips, refreshing lemon and apple tea drinks, and sodas.

At Opus Premier Cinemas, movie watching is elevated even further with amenities that include an elevator straight to the cinema lobby, clean and spacious restrooms, lobby lounge chairs and tables anyone can use, and a stunning view of the city.

The verdict: Create family memories here at OPUS Mall's Family Cinema

For those like me and my wife who are still introducing the joy of watching movies to an uneasy kindergarten, this is the only place we'll go to and recommend to others. We've been so used to seeing the dark aisles in movie houses that we haven't really considered how frightening it can be for our daughter who is taking it all in for the first time. On top of that, the booming surround sound, which sometimes rattles the chairs, can feel really unnerving for younger viewers.

Family Cinema in Opus Mall was well thought of in a way that kids can quickly feel at ease and they can be their cheerful selves. Since their senses are so receptive to new experiences, they will gain a better appreciation of movie watching that resembles the excitement of playing. In turn, parents are better able to guide their children about what's happening on the big screen while relaxing in a true family-friendly setting.
