| - I'm weird & picky about movies, & I realize this. We also go to the movies maybe once every 2 years, only to something we really want to see in theaters (Boyhood this time around), & I usually prefer renting at home. So I find having people walk around and serve you, and eating something savory while watching the screen, kind of strange, but I can see how many human units would like this experience.
That said I love being able to reserve seats, makes the experience so much better. I check times a few days in advance, grab the prime seats at a movie I'm excited about, and show up as the previews are rolling out worry free. This time around we actually had to get the usher to kick people out of our prime seats to take theirs way up front, very satisfying!
Never experienced anything but Fork & Screen, but this has been good. I'm not a fan of the food they serve, and everything seems pretty expensive ($5 for a soda), but I only get popcorn & soda, and save my appetite for the real food in the area afterward. Movie ticket online was pricey but comparable to modern rates (around $12 each). Service has always been well organized & pleasant, they try to do all the distracting delivery & bill paying during previews & end, but you can order something during the movie if you want. The garage setup was strangely confusing, we took a different entrance & ended up on a lower level, but this worked out to not really be an issue, and they validate with an easy to use card machine-just remember to bring your parking ticket upstairs. So a good experience all around, will check up on it in another 2 years.
