| - I went to this theater on opening night and was very impressed by the entire experience. When you order your tickets you're not just ordering them from some kid behind a glass who hates their job. You feel as if you're ordering tickets for an actual live show. The people who work their are very friendly and extremely eager to assist you.
The decor of the theater is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's as if you are in a small European town complete with a cafe. The cafe, which is located behind the traditional snack bar, serves delicious food that you'd never be able to get at an AMC or Harkins. They serve paninis, real nachos with all the fixings, beer, wine, and a great selection of coffees. For those of you that like good beer its not just Bud Light or Coors Light. They have Four Peaks, Guineas, IPA, and Heineken just to name a few. For those who love the traditional movie snacks they have those too. Unfortunately due to over protective liquor laws you have to either consume your drinks in the cafe or have them delivered to you in a particular theater, so make sure you plan ahead and ask questions when purchasing your tickets. The theaters that allow liquor are call StarClass and you have to be 21 to be in those theaters.
The theater itself is stadium style seating with extremely comfortable leather chairs. It's like watching a movie in your very own lazy-boy. Some theaters even have seats called D Box, which are seats that move to the movie. I saw Tron in the D Box seats and in 3-D which made the tickets almost $20 a piece. I wouldn't say it was worth it, however I'm glad I experienced it. I wouldn't shell out that kind of money for a non action movie. They are only cool in the flying, driving, and major action sequences. An improvement to the experience would be if your feet were off the ground. Try lifting your feet through one of the scenes and feel the difference.
To sum everything up this was the most pleasurable movie going experience I've ever had. I hope it stays that way and people don't ruin it. I also hope that this theater is the start of the rejuvenation for the Pavilions Shopping Center. There is a lot of room for expansion and a wonderful patio complete with a gas fire pit out front.
