| - I'm a fan. I really like Regal Cinemas - is that because it's inside of Crocker Park and close to places I love to eat & shop? Sure. Is it because I love taking the bridge to the "across the street" theatres and looking out the window like a little kid at the cars passing underneath me? Sure. Is it because Transformers III looked really sweet in IMAX 3d and I love the way when you're in that theatre that you FEEL the sound inside your chest? Yes.
The prices are pretty typical of most theatres nowadays, & I'm not talking the dollar theatre folks. From what I hear they're turning the Detroit Theatre in Lakewood into a McDonald's? :( I digress... If you're trying to see an IMAX movie, let alone a 3d one - you're looking at like $17 bucks a ticket, painful? Yes. But! The upside is you can join the "Regal Crown Club" - I truly think this is a hidden gem, because few of my friends have one of these cards (which are FREE mind you) - and you can earn points that get you free pops, popcorns, AND movie tickets!
The concessions area appears clean, the staff has always been friendly, and I haven't stepped in any nasty left behind gum and/or trash in one of the theatres... yet.
One of my favorite things is to arrive early and get one of the coveted front of the theatre seats - I'm not talking about the front, front, where you stare straight up and get a neck ache... I'm talking first row of the stadium seats - you know the ones with the metal bar you can put your feet up on? Yeah, those. Gotta get there early but you can snag one dead center for the optimum movie viewing experience.
Only downside? The mob of 12-year-olds outside on a Friday.
