Mexico City is located in the Valley of Mexico, sometimes called the Basin of Mexico. This valley is located in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in the high plateaus of south-central Mexico.62 It has a minimum altitude of 2,200 meters (7,200 feet) above sea level and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes that reach elevations of over 5,000 meters (16,000 feet).64] This valley has no natural drainage outlet for the waters that flow from the mountainsides, making the city vulnerable to flooding. Drainage was engineered through the use of canals and tunnels starting in the 17th century.[62
Mexico City primarily rests on what was Lake Texcoco.62] Seismic activity is frequent there.[65] Lake Texcoco was drained starting from the 17th century. Although none of the lake waters remain, the city rests on the lake bed's heavily saturated clay. This soft base is collapsing due to the over-extraction of groundwater, called groundwater-related subsidence. Since the beginning of the 20th century the city has sunk as much as nine meters (30 feet) in some areas. This sinking is causing problems with runoff and wastewater management, leading to flooding problems, especially during the summer.[64[66] The entire lake bed is now paved over and most of the city's remaining forested areas lie in the southern boroughs of Milpa Alta, Tlalpan...

The cinema rooms are small compared to an usual cinemex because of the previous design. The air conditioner is not usually strong so you may fell a little hot than a normal cinema in a commercial center. The sound and screen are ok, but because the room is smaller you may perceive it a little less...
Read moreOne of the best movie theatres I have ever been to. (and I know the great Japanese ones, like Toho Cinema Shinjuku, Toho Cinema Roppongi, etc.) It is located inside a nice mall, the popcorn is great, the seats are very comfortable, and are equipped with cup holders and rotating little trays, and the service is amazing with an option to order after sitting inside the movie theatre: a waiter will bring the menu and then brings you whatever you ordered.
NB: no idea about the movie selection, I have only been once to...
