| - I've heard several people rave about the new theater in the otherwise mostly 'ghost town' area of the Northwest corner of Sunset and Sunset. When I moved to the lovely area years ago (1999 if anyone likes to figure out how old I may be), the shopping center was lively and popular. The economy took its toll and there are more empty storefronts than there are anything else. Imagine my surprise when I heard of the new theater, and it wasn't just any theater, it was an awesome one with lots of cool tricks!
My Dad, a huge movie buff, raved about this place, and suggested the whole family go see the latest GI Joe movie that was out. We purchased tickets online, AND reserved our seats! It had even better appeal than choosing seats on an airline because ALL seats recline fully, and with no one to tell you to return to your upright position during the movie.
I pulled up to the super crowded parking lot, and was mesmerized by the sparkly Galaxy Theatres sign. There was life in this building again!
The lines (ticket office and concessions) were swift, especially for it being a Saturday evening. We were seated in our 'reserved' seats right away, kicked up our feet, and relaxed. I'm surprised my husband didn't fall asleep with how much the seats resembled his favorite Lay Z boy at home, but the sound system is so wicked that the action scenes during the movie seemed to rattle us. It was like we were THERE in the fight scene right along with the actors.
Can't wait to go there again.
