Before the lockdown due to the pandemic, I was able to try the newly-opened Ortigas Cinemas in Estancia. 
The ticket booth gives quite a luxurious vibe and there's not much crowd. I think this is going to be my new favorite cinema. The price of tickets? Quite similar to SM Megamall's Pricing. 
The first thing that tried was The Screening Room. The seats here are fancier than the regular ones. I was also able to try the regular seating but I wasn't able to take photos of it. The difference aside from the seats? The Screening Room has its own comfort room. You may need to talk a short walk to the comfort room for the regular seating--I find this quite crucial if you want to take a toilet break in the middle of a movie. 
They did not allow outside food except Reel Bites. Here's a copy of the menu. 
Everything is new and the seats are comfortable. There's a call button, controls for the recliner, a small lamp, and even a USB port at the side underneath the table.
