| - A-OK.
First and foremost, I'm a fan of movies in good ol' 2D. The novelty of 3D wears off like 15 minutes in when I don't notice anymore, and 30 minutes in, I start to develop a headache from it. IMAX is great for space, ocean, or nature in general documentaries, but totally overkill for a movie -- I find it akin to just sitting in the very first row. Oh, and I'm a cheapskate that rarely finds the mark-up worth it.
All things being equal, it's nice to have options and to have each of those options represented fairly well. What's not nice at all is when a movie is in its opening week and the 2D version is shown in one of the smaller rooms commonly reserved for movies that have been showing for quite some time already. Unless they have even smaller ones, in which case, yikes.
If it wasn't for that faux pas, I would probably be rating this theater higher. It offers plenty of showtimes, and a well managed flow of people entering or exiting. It was clean almost to a fault, as the screen's reflection off the floors detracted occasionally, but I'm willing to take that sacrifice in lieu of the alternative. The seats were large and comfortable with standard leg room. Even though I should have for good measure, I didn't use their restrooms, so I can't speak to their cleanliness or design.
Even though I'm marking this business as good for kids, as a side note for all the parents out there who take their kids with them: please, if your child is too young to appreciate the movie, just get them a sitter for the night. If they are able to distract me during a movie, I'm positive you can't be enjoying the experience as much either. Heaven help you and your children if you just don't care.
