Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - Woodbridge

The Big Show is a very impressive screen; the films I’ve seen in there have all looked and sounded absolutely fantastic. Theater 2 is also noteworthy in its own right…it’s side-masked and at least as big as Theater A in Ashburn, and seats 201. Most other chains would charge a premium for a screen/auditorium of that size these days. Having that screen right next to the Big Show is ironically sometimes unfortunate for their reparatory programming as a lot of it ends up in 2 instead of the Big Show. The other six are all smaller and top masked, but this cinema employs a more modern design in that the stadium seating isn’t built very tall and the seating is split about 50/50 above and below the entrance. All that is to say that scope films generally look fine even on the top-masked screens. Living in the Fairfax City area it’s too far for me to make the drive down here regularly, but I’m crossing my fingers that they deliver on all fronts with the Crystal City location.

‘soft opening’ was on Friday, June 8th. Official opening Friday June 15th.
