All I have to say about Rave is that I really wish they were out here in Hawaii.
Here's what I loved about my experience here:
1) I believe all their theaters have digital projectors. No more film which means no more degradation in reel prints. Also the picture is a lot more colorful and crisp.
2) They have all the coolest standees(the movie cardboard cutout stuff)! This kinda stuff can really give you a better movie going experience--seeing all these cool characters and three dimensional displays.
3) There's a lounge area you can wait in. Instead of waiting outside, you can wait in this lounge area where they have chairs and tables and just chill out.
4) They have a bunch of toppings for your popcorn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know about mixing in M&Ms, Reeses' Pieces, and Sno-Caps, but they actually have an area set aside where they have big seasoning bottles for your popcorn. Innovative? I think so.
5) Student rates (discounted student rates). How could you not like the fact that you get a cheaper ticket my showing your student ID?
6) There's actually a good amount of leg room in each row. Not just the big walkway rows, every since row in the theater had enough leg room where if someone walked past you in front, it almost didn't affect you at all.
In a world where movie prices keep going up and up, you really get the most bang for you buck at Rave.
