Also note that the lights don't dim as much as other cinemas, probably for the servers to find their way around.
Just be careful when choosing seats - avoid the seats near the entrance as the servers will walk in and out pretty frequently and possibly obstruct your view. I didn't find it disruptive but I can imagine many people would.
The reclining seats are awesome. They are spacious and comfy, with control buttons on the side and a footrest that goes up as you recline.
It's pricy. The people that go to this theatre are rich, old and white. Is it nice? Yeah. Is it amazing? No and at this price point it should be. Would go again if I had to but would probably not opt to. Also, no military discount? Why?
My biggest issue is with how you book tickets with them. The online reservation system is horrific. It's always problematic and I'll no longer go here because of it. The last straw was being brought to a page to reserve the seats that I purchased and there was no ability to actually choose a seat. They were all grayed out. How is this consistent with the upscale experience they're going for? Terrible. Find a theater that cares about the customer experience.
For $20 a ticket, you'd at least expect good AV quality. But our showing of Blade Runner was incredibly blurry--whenever there were straight lines or text, you could see two versions next to each other, like there were two projectors that weren't calibrated, which really detracted from a beautiful film. Also, when we bought our tickets, the kiosk showed that there were only a few seats available, and our group of four had to split up...but when the movie started, the theater was almost empty. Apparently they sell the worst seats first. Maybe both things were flukes, but at the moment I honestly can't recommend this theater.
I love this place it is my go to for big movies. I go with the stupid expensive super lux seats because if you're going to go, go big. And in that section there isn't a bad seat in the house. And they are comfortable as hell.
