Fans that come to watch a movie at Kasi Theatre make a spectacle of it. Nothing less than a carnival with firecrackers right before the first show. The theatre has great push back seats along with superb picture and sound quality which creates an immersive experience. It features three screens and provides ample parking space. The ticket prices are very reasonable. As for the screen size, it’s pretty average, you won’t have to worry about not being able to see clearly but we recommend sitting at the balcony for the best audio quality. However, there is a downside. The washrooms are poorly maintained and traffic congestion around the theatre especially during release dates can be problematic. But the festive atmosphere here is unmatched with anticipated fans ready to watch their idols, so join in on the fun.

At this theatre you won't have to worry about comfortable seats, however, if you are short you may find it difficult to see the screen, so so ask for a booster. Sound quality is a solid 5 but at times you may only hear noise on one side of the screen. The cleanliness and temperature are great and the overall ambience of the theatre is good. Do keep in mind that this theatre is a very old one that has had recent renovations, so it may be short of perfect, but you will definitely have a blast watching a movie with college kids and local fans that will surely give you the first day fan experience.
