While the Burbank 16 has long been my favorite generic chain megaplex in LA, I was very put off when seeing “Red” last Thursday. Apparently, they’ve decided to include bottled water in AMC’s no outside food policy—ludicrous! I was told that if I didn’t want to pay for water, I would have to pour my bottle out and fill it up at the drinking fountain. While I loved AMC’s prior policy allowing outside food, I didn’t mind the introduction of a ban given theaters increasingly rely on concessions for profitability. But WATER!? Sheesh. I’ll consider a different theater next time.
Danny, the same thing happened with me with the water bottle issue; however, the concession counter will give you a free cup to use at the drinking fountain.
Can anyone give a review of the laser projection here for GI Joe? http://bit.ly/10oIWnI
Laser projection along with Dolby Atmos sound? That is going to be SWEET!
65 foot wide screen, 4k 3D laser projection, starting only at this theater,

Good Lord, do they give you a map and a tour guide who is native to the area when you go in?
I’m going to check it out on the second weekend. Will report back if no one else has by that time.
Fascinating that Christie got the first theatrical demo of laser projection and not Barco. This theater needs it. I came here last week to see OZ in Dolby Atmos. There was no trailer for Dolby Atmos, the staff had no idea if it was playing (even though it was advertised), and it even seemed like the bass and right surrounds were so muted you could barley make them out. Also, the left corner of the screen was way under lit and I had the privilege of paying $17.50 to experience one of the worst presentations i have ever seen.
I will try and check out this new laser Demo next week and report back if I make it. I swore I would never go back, but darn it, now i am curious.
I was able to check out the new laser projection demo in the ETX auditorium yesterday. From my earlier post, you can tell I was not a fan of this locations' ETX screen. It was nice to actually see the Dolby ATMOS trailer played, and I did notice the sound was much more intense then it was last week, and the extra surrounds were quite noticeable.
As far as the Laser projection, it is different. First off, it is much much brighter. So bright, that at times the light coming from the booth hits your 3D glasses and it seems like someone has their smartphone on in the row behind you. The picture though, was phenomenal! This was a crappy film (g.I.Joe 2) that had a 3D conversion, and yet the 3D was amazing. Even the dark scenes weren’t dark. Then again, in these digital times, I find it odd that watching a movie in the proper light is something that is unique and worth noting, when I feel that should just be the norm.
I, too, found the light level impressive, especially compared to the standard today, although I don’t think it’s going to change anyone’s mind on 3-D. If I were set on seeing a movie in 3-D, I would definitely go to (and pay extra for) a laser theater. But laser wouldn’t make me want to see something in 3-D that I was planning on otherwise seeing in 2-D.
