We arrived at Cinema 5 at around 6:30 p.m. as advised for the Captain America Blocked Screening sponsored by Captain America Philippines. We claimed our FREE tickets which were free-seating but bloggers were allocated to seat only at the lower right side.
We decided to have dinner at Burger King before the movie starts. It has been a long time since I had a Burger King Whopper. I'm glad its still huge and tasty.
At around 7:40 p.m., we came back to cinema 5. We noticed that other cinemas showing Captain America: The First Avenger all had long lines. We were fortunate enough to win our way to the event which was FREE and hassle-free.
We got inside to find our seats just a few minutes before the show started. It was only during the show did I realize that when you're seated below, no matter where you seat ,be it front or back, you'd still be looking up.=p At exactly 8:00 p.m. "Captain America: The First Avengers" started.
After the movie, I noticed that there were many vacant seats in the lower areas. While waiting for the post-credits, we went up to the VIP and cosplayers area to have some pictures with them. Check it out Marvel characters watching a movie together. Ironic?=)
Overall, it was a fun night. The event was well-organized. It was a brilliant idea for Captain America Philippines to treat Captain America fans out for a movie they'll always remember. Check out my review of
