| - This is a Quality over Quantity decision, folks.
You pay a premium for these seats, but they are easily 2x as comfortable, you aren't crowded with others, there are no screeming kids in strollers, in general this is a more upscale audience where you are not likely to get in the middle of a gang fight, etc.
For me, I made the decision to take my family's usual movie going schedule, and spend 1/2 of those seeing a movie at home with Redbox for $1, and half the time taking my family to this theater, paying $2-5 per ticket premium, and having more fun.
The food is Applebees in a theater, basically, with a $3-4 premium per dish for getting served at your seat. Again, if you were going to an Applebees quality restaurant, pay the premium. It's fun. If you wanted upscale, there are lots of restaurants in the complex or across the street (use the tunnel, it's cool!).
One thing I recommend is skipping the popcorn. It's a small bag, isn't as fresh as a usual theater, and runs $8. No thanks. If you want to spend $8, spend it on real food or candy.
For me, the difference between watching a movie in a theater like Harkins Christown or in AMC Esplanade is like the difference between First Class and a middle seat in Coach on a 12 hour transoceanic flight. Yes, it's that big.
But it only costs $2-4 per ticket premium folks.
That's money well spent. I mean, for me, it's a complete, total, no-brainer.
By the way, unlike the other reviews, the adults only theaters ARE more comfortable seats, but not THAT much more comfortable. So if you have an equal choice, go with the adults only theater seats, but if not, don't be scared... still do it.
