Thank you.

I have yet to visit this place yet but I did read that the place went DARK just the other day. And Bloomingdales which is in the complex was the only with lights on.
Also I hear the chairs there are L-E-A-T-H-E-R

I went to check the new place out.It is on the 5th floor of the new mall.The theaters themselves are on opposite ends of a long mall walkway, with the concession stand directly in the middle so mall shoppers can buy popcorn without going to a movie. I was in the side containing theaters 6-9.Theater 6 was a nice size with excellent sound and picture on a big screen, and yes the seats are leather. I also checked out theater 7 which was a bit smaller but also featured excellent picture and sound. The place itself does not have much personality.It is a typical Century mall movie theater.Just another set of boxes of varying sizes.

Thanks. lookin forward to going there in a few weeks on my vacation. I'll take some photos and post em up here.

Like many new Century Theatres they don't have a full scope screen. They just drop black masking down from the big flat screen and make it look like Cinemascope. To fit in as many shoebox's as possible they made the screens not able to expand. Gone are the days that curtains closed and the masking went out for a wide screen show.

Hey Terry... FULL "SCOPE" at SF's infamous CASTRO THEATRE as well as lovely new curtains AND the Wurlitzer nightly!

Who needs any more shoe-box theaters when you have historic palaces?

Century has installed something they call XD, which I think stands for extreme digital, at this theater. It seems to be a mini Imax format.The screen is floor to ceiling and wall to wall, though the sound was not what you would experience in an Imax theater. I saw "Amelia". Some of the scenes were in full screen, while other scenes almost looked letterboxed, with small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen."The Dark Knight in Imax was like this also. Century is charging $14.00 a ticket for this cinematic experience. It is not available on all their nine screens.

Some of those photos posted above are rather neat, but those light fixtures look like they were picked up at a close-out sale at IKEA.
