| - A four-star review of a place in the EpiCentre? Is it true? It is indeed.
Working uptown, I've always known there was a movie theater attached to Mez, but I had never been. I heard you could bring wine and food in, but klutz that I am, that just sounded like more of an accident waiting to happen than a draw. However, I was going to see the midnight release of The Hunger Games and because of my schedule, EpiCentre was going to be the most convenient place. So I waded through the posh diners to get my ticket after work, then waded back through the clubbers a few hours later for the film.
The ticketing process was very convenient, I liked the reserved seating idea. I'm a "middle of the row, towards the back" person and it sucks when you show up and there's nothing left but front row next to the couple making out. The movie was playing in multiple theaters so I got to see the floor plans of each to pick the best seat. Very cool. My ticket was $13, but aren't they like $10-11 at other theaters now anyway? No big deal.
I didn't partake in any refreshments on this trip since I wasn't feeling great, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. The seats do have little tables with cupholders for your food. I'm still a klutz, but maybe if I got there early... and only got 1 drink... And brought a bib...
I wish there was a separate entrance so you didn't have to go through Mez to get there. I know that's part of the atmosphere, but I wasn't there to mingle, I was there to see a movie. (And, uh, I was also dressed up as Katniss Everdeen.) Ah well, not a huge deal. I might not go back on a weekend though, when it's packed full of dancers. Though I guess anything is better than packs of screaming teenagers and floors sticky with soda and popcorn.
I'm not a very avid movie-goer, but I think we have a top-notch theater here. I'll definitely be back.
