We love that the Clairidge theater often has lesser-known films, foreign and indie films. And when you are seated in one of their larger theaters, it's mostly a good experience. BUT there is at least one theater within the Clairidge that is absurdly bad--the seating area is not very many rows deep, and is much too wide. If you don't get there among the very first patrons, you'll end up sitting MUCH too close to the screen or much to far to the right or left to really enjoy the film--it's vertigo-inducing to have to watch a film from such a distorting angle. It's extreme enough that I can't believe that anyone forced to sit in those areas is charged full-price. It's truly awful. On one occasion, my husband and I had to sit apart from each other, or sit in a spot together where neither of us could really see the screen well. I don't think we would do that again--we'd more likely ask for our money back. I can't imagine what possessed them to create a room so badly designed for viewing. Greed, maybe? I don't know. But they should have gone with one less viewing room, rather than force patrons to sit in that one. But again, the rest of their viewing rooms are fine and perfectly comfortable. They do get some very good films, as well.
