| - AMC Theatres have always been my favorite theaters. They're the cleanest, offer the best rewards program, and lately have been offering some fantastic pricing deals during off-peak hours. This newest AMC at Northlake Mall in Charlotte (although a couple years old now) is still the best. It's a little drive if you live in South Charlotte -- or anywhere outside the Huntersville area for that matter -- but it can be worth it. Plus, it's only one of about 3 theaters in the Charlotte area that can offer movies in 3-D when they come out. And, folks, there is a line-up of 3-D movies coming out in the next couple of years.
Last weekend, we went late on a Sunday morning to see Disney's "Bolt" in 3-D. Tickets were just $5 each with an additional $2 for the luxury of 3-D, but it was worth the extra cost for the visual effects and it was still cheaper than if we went to see a movie on a regular night for about $9-$10.
After buying your ticket outdoors, you enter into a large lobby area. Right away, you can tell that it's a nice complex. It's clean and well-maintained. Our theater was a very large one, probably their only one that can accommodate 3-D showings. It felt very spacious even with a crowd. And, again, I emphasize the clean part. No sticky floors, no holes in the seats, etc. The 3-D experience of "Bolt" was fantastic, both in picture and sound. There was not a complaint in the house.
