| - I just moved to Madison from the Kansas City Area. The AMC Star theatre was my first cinema experience in Madison.
I was excited, because in Kansas, our AMCs are palaces - equipped with a bar/lounge, Fork and Screens (dinner theatre), IMAX, a concession area with ice cream, pizzas, and the works, and fully updated theaters with high quality sound and picture, and clean seats. This AMC paled in comparison. It was uninviting, out of date, old carpet, shabby bathrooms, and low quality screens. I was very disappointed in the large difference between the two cinemas of the same chain.
A few perks: yes it is large, had a good selection of films, and no line for tickets or concessions.
What is most disturbing is that other reviews for this theatre say its the biggest and best in Madison. Excuse me? This is the best? This sorry, shabby, vacant theatre from the late 90s? Sure, it is big. But it is a big fixer upper.
I'm not a huge priss about these things, don't get me wrong. I saw my movie and it was all fine enough. I guess I am just disappointed in the comparison, and the fact that this is the best the area has to offer.
