I went to see the Avengers: Endgame on the big "Cine" screen and it was awesome!
First off, you can buy beer at their bar and drink it while watching a movie! Whaaa? Yes, it's so very true. Bar opens at 11am. Just had to throw that out there for anyone planning on checking it out. Beer and a movie, what the heck took so long?
For the couples with children that don't really wanna bring their child or children into the actually movie theater, they have a daycare center on the right side after your ticket has been ripped by the movie theater staff member. I think the daycare cost is $15 bucks or something. Don't quote me on the price but it wasn't ridiculously expensive. The daycare room is state of the art with a learning center, toys, games, TV, you name it, it's in there. I'm sure the children you plan on dropping off at the small daycare they offer would rather be in there than in a loud theater watching your boring movie anyways, mom and dad.
The surround sound created by Dolby Atmos has outdone its self at the Harkins Theater. I don't think Dolby actually installs the audio in the theaters but the Dolby Atmos in the Cine theater sounds amay-za-za-zing! I recommend watching a really good action flick on that screen as soon as you can, Endgame preferably. I think there are roughly about 40 surround speakers, at least 40 or so effect speakers over your head that form a line from the back of the theater all the way to the screen. Not to mention all the speakers that line the walls on the left and right! I have to imagine there are at least 5 15"-24" subwoofers all producing the highest quality LFE. There are probably just as many speakers in there as there are seats. Definately going back there! Oh, and the seats are motorized recliners, which I consider the new standard that all theaters must have! Go and check it out! You won't be...
Read moreMy older kiddos had a wrestling tournament today and did so good. For a treat we decided to go see the Black Adam movie with The Rock. We ended up getting on there website and were quickly able to locate the movie and choose a preferred time along with our preferred seating. Quick and fast without any issues. My kind of order. We headed on over to the theater and walked in to a huge, beautiful theatre with vaulted ceilings. We walked up to the concession stand and they had a wide range of options from popcorn, candy, soda, slushees and they even had meals available. Chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs and even a bar with beer, wine and mixed drinks. Pretty nifty for the adult variety that comes to enjoy the show. After we visited the concessions stand we went over and add butter to our popcorn. The condiment station was fully stocked with all sorts of extras for your snacks. When we finally got into the theatre, we were pleased to see automatic recliners. Got I love these upgrades. Gone are the days of the very uncomfortable theatre chairs and here comes luxury, where every seat in the house is perfect. Remember guys the stationary chairs. God forbid if you get stuck in the 1st 3 rows, you leave the theatre with a stiff neck and the next day your at the chiropractor. Oh you know what I'm talking about. You've been there too! Anyways, theatre was great and clean. The staff was pleasant and actually smiled, probably made it easier with me cracking jokes the whole time with the guys behind the counter. In the end, top notch theatre and if I lived in the area I would definitely...
Read moreHarkins Theater is a wonderful movie facility! The seating is very comfortable and very very much available! The movie theater sound is excellent and the projection of the movie is huge and very very adequate. The cost of the snacks is pricey just like every other movie theater. However Harkins has a online option that the repetitive users of their facility can get a great discount if you sign up to be a member of theirs. Also look into the opportunity to rent one of their movie theaters at the beginning of the day and you and only your friends or family can visit the movie theater and watch your movie that you choose to bring or play video games in the theater that you have rented! We have rented one of the theaters for my son's 13th birthday and him and five of his friends came in to play video games in the theater with the 90 ft wide big screen and the wonderful sound system. The cost of that was around $145 and it lasted a very very productive length of time it was amazing and super historically rewarding. The many times have been to this facility with friends and family the employees have always been very supportive and helpful they have great attitudes and they enjoy smiling they make you feel very comfortable when you're at...
