Located
in
Lekki
Phase
One,
this
appears
to
be
one
of
Filmhouseโs
legacy
cum
flagship
cinemas,
in
a
dedicated
property
not
situated
in
a
mall.
It
is
conspicuous
and
very
easy
to
access.
Parking
is
limited
within
the
compound,
but
street
parking
(at
ownerโs
risk)
is
available.
It
offers
the
IMAX
experience
for
movies,
which
is
very
different
from
regular
screens
-
and
several
times
more
immersive.
The
lobby
lacks
the
pristine
feel
youโll
find
in
some
of
their
other
locations.
This
property
requires
maintenance,
as
it
looks
dated
in
some
areas
-
especially
the
(male)
rest
rooms
with
several
broken
equipment.
It
was
an
evening
movie
(and
not
a
premiere),
thus
ticketing
service
was
brisk.
We
were
allowed
to
enter
the
screen
20
minutes
before
the
movie
time,
which
was
generous.
Now
the
most
interesting
part
for
me.
The
movie
screen
here
is
HUGE.
Way
larger
than
any
regular
cinema
screen.
Pictures
wonโt
do
justice.
It
is
almost
intimidating
in
its
sheer
size
-
with
a
looming
appearance
like
it
could
wrap
everyone
seated
in
one
swoop
with
room
to
spare.
I
wonder
how
anyone
can
view
that
screen
properly
without
being
seated
at
the
very
top
row.
The
sound
is
crisp
and
deafening;
a
gunshot
in
a
movie
will
punch
same
decibels
(or
higher)
as
a
real
one.
The
air
conditioning
here
leaves
you
feeling
like
you
are
at
risk
of
frostbite;
it
was
easily
the
coldest
cinema
Iโve
experienced.
The
cinema
was
just
about
20%
occupied
for
the
movie
I
watched
(a
long
one
-
John
Wick
4)
but
will
chill
just
as
much
even
if
it
were
at
full
capacity.
I
enjoyed
the
movie,
even
though
it
was
not
optimized
to
IMAX
format.
Iโll
like
to
watch
one
which
is
in
IMAX
coding,
to
get
the
full
experience.
This
cinema
is
recommended,
albeit
it
is
about
50%
pricier
than
the
regular
cinemas.
