Barcelona certainly doesn't lack cinemas, and most shopping malls are equipped with cinemas. If you want to go to the movies while visiting Barcelona you have loads of options but be aware of that most of the movies in the city are doblado (dubbed) into Spanish or Catalan. Movies in Spain are generally not shown until 4 or 5pm and continue showing after midnight. If you want to watch an original version you have to choose a movie that is signed with V.O (version original).
