This place is brand new and fabulous. They don’t even have the popcorn and soda fountain machines in yet but they are on their way. They also have a bar and restaurant yet to be opened, awaiting inspection. I took a peek in and it looks great. This is the first time I would ever give a movie theater 10 in cleanliness. From the bathrooms to the seating area, this place is immaculate. If anyone has been in a movie theater when the lights come on it can be off putting. I have been to the Lux theaters and other places of high stature but they still do not compare to this 12 million dollar make over. And the Leg Room!

High energy, in non-stop fashion, all the way through. I recommend this movie for all...

First, the main theater, where our movie was showing, has an excellent screen and sound, and you sit up on the second level, which is ideal for taking advantage of the large screen. Their concessions has lots of good snack options. We opted for popcorn, which was really fresh. We also checked out the exhibit space, which was showing a well-done photography exhibit. Next time we go we will definitely eat at the attached restaurant, which looks cozy and elegant but doesn’t seem to be too pricey. The whole experience...
