My sister and I wanted to see a late night movie so we headed to Filmhouse at Leisure Mall . On getting there, we paid for our movie and popcorn via POS and were then redirected to the Filmhouse Cinema AOS mall, which is a five minutes walk away.
Since it was late at night (around 10:45pm), the walkway connecting Leisure Mall to AOS Mall was closed. So we had to walk back and out of Leisure Mall. This, tbh, was one of the scariest things ever because there were a lot of dangerous looking boys around the Leisure Mall premises. I was legit scared something terrible might happen.
Anyways, we eventually got into the Filmhouse at AOS only to discover we could have purchased our tickets and our snacks there. Apparently, the AOS branch is a stand alone branch and purchasing tickets from the Leisure Mall cinema was unnecessary. Someone should have told us!
SERVICE:
Well, it’s safe to assume they just packed staff from the Leisure Mall branch because they all have the same terrible attitude.
My sister wanted to get a hot dog since it was unavailable at the other branch and the attendant was so impolite. She literally screamed back at her saying it was not ready. There was no attendant at the entrance of the screening room so we had to literally search for someone to tear our tickets.
We eventually got the hotdog while the movie was playing but it tasted really stale.
THE THEATRE:
This is absolutely better than the Leisure Mall branch ! The chairs are more comfortable and are still in very good condition. The seating arrangement is also much better as the seats are not too high. My sister and I sat at the middle and we could see the screen clearly with no obstruction. The sound is also much better.
OVERALL:
I rate Filmhouse Cinema AOS Mall an 8/10. It’s much better than the Leisure Mall branch . I’d advise:
they train their staff to be polite
they cultivate a good maintenance habit before the space ends up like that of the Leisure Mall branch.
you check their website to be sure which of the branches will be showing any movie of your choice to prevent walking in circles
I’ve visited this cinema to watch movies various times now and they were all wonderful experiences.
I had to take my daughter and my neighbours kids to this cinema. The place was but I was not happy with the fact that some people didn’t release chairs to be used on the waiting area. We went to watch jungle boy and I was pregnant then. I stood for long because the movie didn’t start on time and no chairs to seat.in all my daughter liked the moview and my neighbours kids don’t mind going there again @debbiekunmi on instagram
I took my younger brother there last year he loves it so much he didn’t want to leave
I didn’t like the sound quality. It was really terrible all three times I’ve been there
No parking space for late Night Movie too
