| - I give it 3 Stars because although I wasn't overly impressed, I wasn't disappointed either.
I live a lot closer to a Harkins (Park West) and AMC Westgate isn't that further away. I went to Ultra Star because of the D-Box Motion Code seats. I highly recommend trying D-Box at least once. I saw TRON: Legacy (in 3D) and it made the vehicle fights more exciting.
I went to the first (10:00 AM) showing. The doors/box office opens at 9:45. I'm standing in line, maybe the 10th person. When I get to the counter the clerk wasn't sure about getting me a seat. I asked her how could that be, because, according to their website, you can't buy D-Box tickets online. Anyway, she sold me "D7" which was the "second row center." I thought I was going to be near the front looking almost straight up. Got into the theater and D-Box seats are in the middle of the room, so I had a great seat. Interesting, seats D1-6 were empty. Those seats did not move during the movie. I assume there is an external activate button so a person couldn't use D-Box without paying for it.
Concession prices were about the same as other theaters. Bathrooms were clean, extra kudos for having Dyson Airblade hand dryers.
In conclusion, since I have other movie options closer to my house, the only time I'll visit Ultra Star if there is a movie that I think D-Box will enhance the experience.
