The University outgrew the space and moved to a huge, new campus at the former Fitzsimmons hospital complex in Aurora. The vacant space, consisting of the three blocks east of Colorado Boulevard between 8th and 11th Avenues, has now been mostly redeveloped. There are luxury and affordable apartments, a row of townhomes, and a 55+ active adult community. There's a small amount of office space, a few retail stores, a huge AMC theater, and a number of restaurants. Two large parking garages plus some street parking offer 2,500 parking spaces. Restaurant options include: Blanco Cocina + Cantina, Cava, Clean Juice, Culinary Dropout, Frank & Roze coffee bar, Gelato Boy, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, Pizzeria Locale, and Postino Wine Cafe. 9+CO has created a new, walkable neighborhood in the heart of Denver with many amenities. It's a great spot to catch a film, have a coffee, or to enjoy lunch or dinner. It's also a nice, new place to live or work.

It is an Australian film from the 1980's on their large main screen about a aging drag queen going to Alice Springs from Sydney for a gig. The screen and sound system could handle the visual image with excellent sound. Last week, I saw "Moonlight" about gay black culture in Miami. The movie won the 2016 Academy Award for best picture.

Wow! I think this is the one of the best if not the very best theaters I've been to in a long time…read more I give it five out of 5 stars. From having a ticket window outside, so you can actually walk up and purchase a ticket before having to walk in to the theater, to the cleanliness of the theater to the helpfulness of the concessions staff. This is now officially my favorite theater. I needed the close captioning and someone delivered and installed the machine at my seat so when I arrived at my seat, it was already there waiting for me. It worked perfectly, which I truly can't say about any other theater I have been in lately. I was just delighted. There's lots of room between the rows so you don't feel squished and the seats recline comfortably. There's a cupholder in the arm rest. This is a quality theater. Sound system was phenomenal. Great job, Harkins!!!

I love that this place is local and I don't have to drive all the way to downtown. Definitely check out the Series Fest schedule and other events!

Watching the presentations about the solar system makes you feel like you're right there, riding alongside the planets and floating through space. Walking through the museum, interacting with the exhibits, and learning from the stewards made the visit even more enjoyable. It was also awesome to see school groups and summer camps exploring the museum. I love that the kids have a designated place to sit and eat their lunches instead of having to use the café. There is so much to see and learn that you can easily spend hours here. It's a great way to spend the day, whether you're visiting with family, friends, or on your own. Happy Yelping!

You do need to purchase a ticket to enter so I suggest doing that ahead of time. It also gives you a timeframe to enter just so it spaces out the crowds. Did you know that there's a scavenger hunt for gnomes, I think they look more like elves though lol the list of where to find the gnomes can be found on the museums website. This was really fun because it kept me guessing on where to look next, and when we came up to exhibit that supposedly had the gnome, I got to look really close at all the details of that exhibit. There are three levels to the museum, the ground floor, the second level and the third floor. Each one is broken up into different categories. They also have a laser show going on with different songs or movies for the theme. You do need to reserve a spot online so make sure you check out the showtimes, each week is different. I went with a friend and we blocked out three hours for this. The laser show we chose was roughly 30 minutes so we ended the day with the laser show. So the museum itself only took 2 1/2 hours.

This theater has the only IMAX 70mm film projector in the metro area, so if you want to see a movie…read morein this format as originally intended--this is the place. The other "IMAX" theaters around town use a digital laser projector which is bright, but only has 20% of the resolution of the film system and a cropped aspect ratio. There is also a dual-laser system that at least supports the taller aspect ratio of 70mm. Trying to figure out which theater has which system is difficult, but--trust me--this is the only 70mm auditorium in Colorado, outside of Colorado Springs. The theater complex was built in 1999 and is really in need of a comprehensive remodel. It's very dated, particularly the seating. Concessions are pretty basic. The 70mm projector failed a few days into the release of The Odyssey (July 2026) and caused an uproar as Regal did a poor job of notifying customers about the problem. I read in the media that the projector had been fixed, so we booked tickets. We had a mostly smooth experience. Although we arrived early for our showing at 11:20 a.m., we only found a few spaces left on the top level of the parking garage. Parking is definitely a problem here if there's a major film event. I'd suggest anything but driving. There is a very convenient light rail/bus station directly adjacent to the Colorado Center complex. Our tickets were scanned and we zipped up the escalator to the main lobby on the second floor. Concessions were moderately busy, but the line kept moving. The seats in the big IMAX auditorium certainly don't meet the standard for modern movie theater seating, particularly for such a premium experience. There would be a space issue with fancier seats, though, as the auditorium is narrow (IMAX is best viewed straight-on). Our seats were a bit to the side in the fifth row. I thought the viewing experience was great. The seats were not uncomfortable. What annoyed me was that the vinyl floor in the seating area was very sticky. Apparently mopping at the end of the day has gone out of style. Anyway, the popcorn tasted fresh and the projection quality was superb--that's the most important thing. We enjoyed the movie.

With more and…read moremore studios moving out west, it's safe to say that Denver is on the map for actors, filmmakers and film festivals. Being invited to the final film screening at the 40th Annual Denver Film Festival, I couldn't pass up the change to channel my inner starlet! First of all, the Denver Film Society is just plain awesome and hosts annual events that feature a wide variety of films. Join as a member, filmmaker or just go as a guest - because you will feel like a true star! We met a variety of hosts, the director of I, Tonya, and learned all about the society before the screening. The festivals occur each year, with varying events offered throughout the year. I can't wait to return - and walk the red carpet!

Too few people are members of the Denver Film Society. It's a great Denver cultural organization…read more It's not funded by the City, nor is it a member of the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, so they only get their money through the painful process of non-profit fundraising. But wait! You and you alone can change this. You can join. And should. Membership is cheap and benefits are huuuuge. Once, while talking to a board member of the organization, I asked how many members they had. I had guessed it was in the tens of thousands. Turned out it was in the hundreds. Whoa. What's with that? Given the great work they do with the Denver Film Festival, Film On The Rocks, and doing the programming for the Starz Theater at the Tivoli, these folks need all the support they can get. They've had their political / administrative challenges. That's for sure (http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12520398), but they're great folks, working hard to bring the best of independent films to Denver. Let's see how we can drag them outta the doldrums. Go yelpers. Go.

The bartender that night was absolutely great. The karaoke DJ (Sexy Jesus Karaoke) was friendly and fair, keeping repeat singers in the queue while adding in new singers as they arrived. Our group had a fantastic time and got to sing several times. The crowd was eclectic, supportive, and full of good singers. The one thing none of our group appreciated was that the front windows were wide open and people smoked outside the entire night. They literally had ashtrays on the windowsill. We all reeked of smoke by the end of the night. Kind of a bummer, and something to consider if you're thinking of going here when it's warm enough to have the windows open.
