"I like watching movies here, the program is sent by mail once you register on their platform even though these days I've difficulties receiving them....
Only dark point is the price of the bowl of popcorn, too costly for nothing in my opinon"
Axelle Vera
"Nice cinema , clean, good sound quality and ventilation, very accessible and a secure environment even late at night. Ticket prices are good, pop corn and drink prices are however double the standard prices. Great place overall!"

"Always clean, biggest screen and best Dolby digital sound in Cameroon. Standard ticket 2.000F for adults and 1.000F for kids. 5.000F for « Avant-première ». 1.000F a pack of popcorn and 500f for a top juice. Beers at 1.000F-1.200F. You should keep your 3D glasses for re-use, because it costs 2.000F a pair 😊😊"
