Is there any Egyptian decor in the auditoriums?
I am very impressed by the faded bits of color on the cornice of the facade. In actual Egyptian temples where color survives on the exteriors, this is exactly what you see, and it is typically the red and blue pigments which have survived the ages best. Someone did their homework!

This megaplex is split into two halves. The left side houses auditoriums #1-12 and the right side houses auditoriums #13-24.

I have only been in two of the four largest auditoriums, #13 and #14, which are on the right side of the plex and adjacent to each other. The screen in #23 is quite small for the auditorium’s size and will require you to sit closer to the front for best sightlines. Also, the screen in #18 is not a wall to wall screen. So if you are seeing a 3D movie, be sure to get a seat closer to the front for best viewing experience.

Valet parking is available on weekends and holidays. However, I do not how much it costs, as I’ve never used the service before.

Jodar, I believe only the upcoming Muvico theaters will be getting the Sony 4K projectors—at least initially.

This theater debuted one of the first RealD digital 3D systems in Maryland (along with Bow Tie Annapolis Mall 11, which was owned by Crown Theatres at the time) when they showed Chicken Little in 2005.

The Egyptian motif for this megaplex is a sight to behold. My relatives love coming here to enjoy the ancient atmosphere from the heiroglyphic wall paper to the enormous sphinxes.

Presentation wise the place is a mixed bag. At times, it can be spectacular especially in the largest auditoriums and then at other times, its underwhelming due mostly to the low sound levels and lack of surround. If you don’t feel enveloped watching a movie, then you’re not experiencing it the way you should.

What prevents me from coming back regularly is for the fact they do not regularly advertise that they have digital projection movies booked either on their website or in the Washington Post newspaper. Now, when its a 3D Digital movie, its obvious because usually the title is a giveaway. I’ve called and spoken to someone who didn’t know the difference or gave erroneous information. A letter sent to their office yielded a manager response to find out what is showing in #7 and #18; their digital theaters. Bah! Supposedly Muvico was to move to all Sony 4K projection systems, I suspect this has not happened yet as there have been no announcements.
