Greenbelt has unveiled its newly reimagined cinemas, raising the bar for premium moviegoing in Metro Manila. The reopening forms part of the broader transformation of the iconic lifestyle destination under Ayala Malls.

Ayala Malls COO Paul Birkett said reinventing Greenbelt required both ambition and detail. Alongside luxury retail, the mall has refreshed its entertainment offering with upgraded theaters, a revitalized lobby, and curated food options.

Familiar formats, elevated experience

The refreshed lineup includes 4DX, known for its multi-sensory effects, and My Cinema, a favorite venue for private screenings and celebrations.

The cinema lobby now features a massive video wall for trailers and visual storytelling. The ticket booth sports a cleaner, more modern look. The Movie Snackbar has also been redesigned. It now comes with expanded offerings and new popcorn flavors including Truffle Parmesan, Smoked Gouda, and Salted Caramel.

Food options now include Mamou, Potato Corner, Toki, Chihuahua, and Carmen’s Best, served in a Greenbelt-exclusive popcorn bucket design.

Comfort takes center stage

Inside the theaters, the upgrades are immediate. New wall panels, plush carpeting, and warmer lighting create a more inviting atmosphere.

All cinemas now use Slider seats. These wider, all-leather seats glide smoothly into a natural recline without electric controls. The result is improved comfort and better ergonomic support throughout the film.

Laser projection and immersive sound

Every screen now runs on laser projection for brighter images and more consistent color. Each cinema is also equipped with a Dolby Atmos sound system. It delivers three-dimensional audio that moves around the audience.

A cinematic unveiling

The refreshed cinemas were unveiled on February 10. Guests experienced the upgrades during an exclusive preview of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

The evening included hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from Dillingers, live music from a quartet, and a special screening of the film, now showing in Ayala Malls Cinemas.

Booking made easier

According to Yvette Roldan, Ancillary Business Head of Ayala Malls, every aspect of the cinema experience was upgraded for comfort and quality.

Moviegoers can now check schedules and book tickets online via Ayala All Access at ayalaallaccess.com.

Greenbelt’s reimagined cinemas invite audiences to rediscover the big screen, where design, comfort, and technology come together.

Jason Momoa will star in upcoming Helldivers film adaptation

Justin Lin is set to direct.

Jason Momoa in A Minecraft Movie

PlayStation’s State of Play is about games. However, there are a few times when the semi-regular event can spawn hype for something outside the realm of gaming. Today is one of those times. Sony Pictures and PlayStation have released more information about the upcoming Helldivers movie adaptation.

Early last year, Sony teased a variety of upcoming adaptations for its tentpole franchises. This announcement included Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and Helldivers.

Today, as reported by Variety, the Helldivers film finally has a leading man. Jason Momoa, who starred in the Minecraft adaptation previously, will star in the film.

Since the franchise isn’t really known for a specific main character, it’s unknown who the star will play. We also don’t know his co-stars yet.

Alongside Momoa, Justin Lin will direct the film. The director is known for his work with the Fast and Furious franchise.

Plot-wise, the Helldivers franchise seems tailor-made for the movies. It’s not a supremely story-driven game, but its premise is endlessly adaptable. The games always revolve around a group of soldiers called Helldivers, who protect Super Earth from a host of alien threats. These threats include rogue robots and bug-like creatures.

The film, whatever it might tackle, will premiere on November 10, 2027.

Helldivers 2 launched back in 2024. At the time, the game was exclusive for the PlayStation and PC. However, it recently launched on the Xbox, too.

Denji’s next brutal chapter is heading to streaming. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, the first-ever feature-length film from MAPPA’s hit anime series, arrives exclusively on Crunchyroll in Spring 2026.

Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s globally acclaimed manga, the film continues the story after the anime’s first season. Amid a brutal war between devils and hunters, another battle begins in Denji’s heart when he meets a mysterious girl named Reze.

As secret enemies surface and loyalties blur, Denji revs up for what may be his deadliest fight yet — one that forces him to confront not just devils, but his own fragile humanity.

Details:

Title: Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
Where: Streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll
When: Spring 2026

From the review

In our full review, we described Reze Arc as “beautifully cruel,” calling it “a complete, well-balanced story” that blends romance, tension, and explosive action with deliberate pacing.

We praised MAPPA’s elevated big-screen presentation, the film’s restrained yet intimate early moments between Denji and Reze, and its bombastic, fluid fight sequences that never overstay their welcome.

At its heart, we noted, the movie works because it tells a self-contained love story wrapped in gore — one that even anime-only viewers can appreciate without feeling shortchanged.
