Description: Movie Towne in Trinidad is home to a large cinema complex, featuring ten state of the art cinemas showing the very latest movies to hit the global scene. Movies are usually always released on time, and the cinemas are modern, very spacious and offer comfortable seats. There are there two Movie Towne locations on the island, one in Port of Spain and the other in the smaller municipality of Chaguanas.
The cinema's lobby is expansive, with several life size characters from your favourite movies hanging about, such as Spiderman, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Harry Potter. Giant film themed decorations and sculptures are suspended in the air from the ceiling, helping to increase the excitement about the film you intend to watch.
The usual cinema food and snacks are available at the counter, and ordering a combo will shave off a few dollars from your bill. M&Ms, Skittles and sour worms are some of the candies available for purchase, and hot dogs, nachos and popcorn are constantly being made so that your order is always fresh. Combos of a large popcorn and a large drink start from US$4 and up.
However, even if you don't want to watch a movie, Movie Towne offers many other options for you to enjoy. Aside from the movie complex, Movie Towne has a large shopping plaza featuring several stores and fashion boutiques for all different budgets. Everything from jewelry and electronics to children's toys and books: there are relevant stores all within a short walk from each other.
If you've finished watching your movie and you're in the mood to eat, most likely one of the many restaurants and bars at Movie Towne will entice you. For meat lovers, Texas De Brazil is a great choice with over 100 different meats to choose from. If your'e feeling for Asian, The Shanghai Experience is worth a visit. If you are looking for cheaper options, fast food favourites such as Burger King and Popeye's are right nearby.
To end off the night, grab a night cap at one of the bars/lounges in the plaza. J.Malones Irish Pub has a great selection of beers and ales, and Zanzibar Restaurant and Bar has an extensive menu of wines and champagnes to tantalize your taste buds. I've had drinks at both establishments, and the prices weren't too bad (around USD $3 for a beer and $4 for a glass of wine).
If you're looking for a relaxing night out, Movie Towne has lots of places to go. Given the close proximity of everything, you could do a lot in one night! If you're in Trinidad even on an overnight layover, this is a great spot to pass the time!
