Tara, movie marathon and chill!
Watching movies is definitely almost everyone’s favorite pastime. In the olden days, no one ever thought that staring at a screen on a wooden box would shape how we would entertain ourselves in the comforts of our home.
While watching a movie on the theaters is always a good idea, sitting beside strangers, being distracted from crying infants and hecklers and sometimes, an uncomfortable position, movie houses are an amazing alternative. You get to choose your own movies from a wide selection and most of all, you get to watch them exclusively at a comfortable setting.
Here are some of the best movie houses in Cebu.
1. Stellar Movie House
Widely regarded as the go-to movie house within the city, Stellar Movie House is very popular among all ages. It is perfect for family and friends due to its easy access (located in Mango Avenue), comfortable ambience and wide theatre screens. Additionally, while waiting, they have free Wi-Fi access, free PC usage and cozy seats on their lounge.
They also sell membership and VIP cards where patrons can get exclusive freebies including free movies on your birthday and through the points accumulated based on the number of your visits.
Note: 30 minutes waiting time = free popcorn
