| - Went for an impromptu weekday Noon matinee showing of The Revenant.
This has always been my favorite movie theater in the area. With its relatively recent upgrades, it continues to be my favorite. I did not expect many other moviegoers so expected the theater to be very clean and quiet. It was. The bathrooms are spotless and all the employees were very helpful and friendly, as usual. They have counterpersons selling tickets as well as their self serve kiosks available. For my regular adult price matinee, $6. You could also pick and reserve your seat right there at the counter or the kiosk. Good deal!
I did not purchase any concession items. Also, it does not appear that their Take Six dining and food service option is open during weekday matinees.
The show was playing in Theater 14 so was not on one of their deluxe ultra screens. It is one of their smaller theaters but it still feels spacious yet intimate. The theater is outfitted in their new dream lounger leather seats which recline and have extending foot rests. But for the previews and the moview, it would have been night-night time!
The theater is also handicapped accessible. The main entrance into the theater is at the top of the seating area which slopes downward towards the screen. So those in wheelchairs or with other mobility challenges can easily find a seat there at the top on a flat surface, safe and sound. Because of the theater size and layout, the first row of seating does not feel like the nosebleed section or a begrudging afterthought to accommodate the mobility challenged.
The temperature was just right, as was the image and sound. I was sitting in the very back next to a wall so was concerned that the image would be smallish and the sound would painfully reverberate. But it was very good and manageable.
Definitely a fun trip and look forward to sneaking away again.
Tips though--currently all movies on Tuesdays are $5. Also, if you are a Marcus movie rewards member, you can accumulate points to get special offers on concession snacks, shows, etc.
See you at the show.
