They got me good. I wanted to catch Hugo on the big screen before it went the way of DVD only, and I was happy to see it available (for the "kiddies") for $1, so off I went. I mistakenly thought since these movies were aimed at the kids, they'd have popcorn & drink specials, too, and didn't pay too much attention to the price and got my usual small drink and small popcorn. Whoa..$10.75?! Seriously? I don't know that I've ever paid those prices before anywhere! And do I really need a half-gallon of soda as a small? I was grateful that I didn't have the family with me after all.
I loved the movie, mostly for the art, scenery and storyline. But as much as they touted on the screen how awesome it is to see and hear movies at the theater, on a big screen, the sound wasn't as HD as I've heard before.
I don't like to complain too much because after all I DID get my wish to see Hugo (unfortunately missed the 3D version) on the big screen. But the outrageous concession prices put a damper on the overall experience.
