| - We went on Christmas Day to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I loved that we could order and choose our seats on line, even the type of theater, as it was showing on two screens. This is my first experience at one of the new "ultra" "luxe" theaters, so I have no real basis to which I can compare it.
I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the seats in the "Star" theater were. They are a tiny bit stiff, but so much better than traditional theater seats. It would be even better if they reclined with foot rests or had foot rests that could be moved out from under the seat to have that true "lay back and watch a movie" feel. I didn't in the least miss the pillows and blankets that some other theaters tout, just for the sake of germs, cleanliness, etc. You just don't know. The screen and sound quality were spot on . . . and the fact that you can order from a real server by pressing a little button is a great feature. If I had been hungry, I probably would have ordered something from the diverse menu.
It was also nice that the theater had comfortable chairs while you wait to be ushered into your theater. That's a really nice touch. Oh, how I hate to queue up in a snaked line and wait and wait. That was a real plus!
The bathrooms were completely designed with germophobes like me in mind. There are buttons you press to get in and out of the door, so you can just use your elbow or another part of your body instead of your bare hands. Toilets automatically flush (mine was a little slow), and they have the Dyson hand dryers - my fave! Then you just nudge another button to get out!
This is definitely on our list for our next movie if they're featuring a show we want to see! Good job UltraStar!
