| - We went here last week because I had VIP tickets given to me. I had been wanting to check this place out for several months. I have to say, I was a bit confused when I entered because I didn't see my movie on the show list, but sure enough when I got to the counter and asked, it was playing.
I was able to upgrade our seats to the 'D-box' seats (they move with the movie); I thought this was odd, but decided to give them a try. I was not able to get in the theater that served drinks because the show we were seeing wasn't in those theaters. There were two concession areas and one served alcoholic beverages. I didn't see that area into after I bought our snacks at the main concession stand. The prices are the same jacked-up price as any other theater (highly over priced)...then I went by the bar areas - $7 for a bottled beer!
I ordered popcorn and buttered it myself, it was excellent (yes, I love popcorn and always eat a TON). They also serve Milkshakes (we got a chocolate, it was ok, mass produced and supplied frozen), our son had a slushy and he loved it. Similar to Harkins, they offer a popcorn rewards program. They offer a loyalty card for $22, which gets you a free popcorn / visit. What I really liked was the fact they offered carmel, cheese and kettle corn for $7.50 (again, too pricey for me but I did taste the carmel and cheese and it was good).
Now about these super awesome 'd-box' seats - they sucked. They were uncomfortable and unnatural. However my son totally loved them. (age 11).
In the end, I like this theater, I like the 'adult' atmosphere and options, but at the same time I am perfectly fine with my cushy seating in a cheap matinee at my beloved Harkins.
