I wasn't sure what to expect since it was my first visit and first to come to a private screening. As I walked in there was a check in right behind the person at the entrance was a large screen with the most dynamic scene of a planet as if there was lava coming through pockets and astroids flying around the atmosphere. The visual effects and the screen size was enormous. Some real strict protocols to enter the theatre, a bit too much in my opinion. People were required to empty there purses and leave there water bottles on the counter alongside the wall. I did not bring anything but after the long wait to get in I was super thirsty and asked if I could find water anywhere. I was advise my best bet would be to drink out of the bathroom sink. I was so thirsty I almost did that since I would be in the movie for another 1-2 hours. Unfortunately the water in the bathroom was on auto sensor which would only turn on for 1-2 seconds. Write turning off. And the water was warm. Anyhow I did survive the movie without getting any water. As I walked into the theatre it was mesmerizing I didn't know what I was walking into. The entire building was very modern and sound system was state of the art. Considering I was in the Dolby Center. The seats were very comfy and the quality of the movie and sound system was the best experience Ever. The movie was good great cinematography and story. The acting was amazing and I really enjoyed the movie. A bit of a tear jerky at times as well as exciting, adventurous, scenic, and captivating. The combination of the amazing theatre made the movie very enjoyable. After the movie the three chairs were set up in front of the movie and to my surprise the main character and the director is the movie walked right passed me to enjoy a discussion with the audience. It was so amazing nothing I have ever experience. What an honor! It was an absolute great evening and experience.

It's still ghostly with so much empty space: They don't even have a staffed ticket counter at the entrance anymore so it stands, vacant, as if awaiting its fate.

You pay for concessions on the second floor then walk down a lonely hall to push buttons and dispense popcorn and drinks yourself. Finally, what you're there for: The IMAX theater. The sound is thunderous, nearly "sense-around" and the picture is large and crisp. It was the perfect venue to see The Odyssey.

Orange cushy stadium seats that provide extremely minimal head-blockage Best part about this cinema has got to be their restrooms - no lie! Never in my life did I think I'd be all goo-goo-eyed over a bathroom but this 1 is the bees knees! They have the most luxurious toilet seats - they're *heated* ( ! ) and offer bidet functions for those who prefer that kind of action....there were so many buttons on this thing that I was scared to push anything for fear of setting off the disco lights.....and coming in from a frigid cold, blustry evening, I didn't want to leave that heated seat! :-) I'd totally come back here to see fantastic indie picks & can't wait to see what's playing next!

I found the facilities to be quite inviting. It's basement level and feels sequestered from the outside world (as it should), like a hi-tech vault to showcase and preserve humanity's best culture for the post-apocalypse future. I mean, it looks like a spaceship inside. It's swank and modern. It's comfortable and well-equipped. I did hear a few complaints about the seats being too lean-y and lacking arm rests, but I found them soft and well-spaced, and the sound and projection were great. My stuff looked great on screen. It was the perfect size for a post-show Q&A- 143 seats holds a crowd but not an impersonal one. The hosts were incredibly gracious and caring about the show they were putting on. This place doesn't organize shows like amateurs (trust me, I've done those.) If you're thinking of seeing a show here, it's probably something you wouldn't see anywhere else, so you might not know how to judge it. Consider yourself in good hands. It will be curated with taste. There's tons of great options for eating and shmoozing afterward right across the street, in Japantown's mall full of sushi places. One of my co-attendees is well versed in quality sushi, and called the place we went to one of the best she had found in the city. Pick this theater and neighborhood for a great night out.

At entry, a problematic guest in front of me apparently purchased the wrong tickets online. The worker/owner seemed to have no clue how to resolve the issue, and instead of letting the competent people inside, they decided to clog the line, arguing back and forth with the guest. The place is small, so once they scanned tickets, visitors were piled into the cozy sized lobby waiting till they opened the auditorum 15 minutes before the listed showtime. The classic concessions stand offered a fairly standard variety of menu items including hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, candy, ice cream bars, soda, as well as a range of hot tea options. There are two auditoriums, both located upstairs. The curved backs of the folding seats made them comfortable enough for a (less than) 2-hour event, with cupholders on the arm rests. "Right in the Eye" was such an incredible production, unique and entertaining. The delightful works of french filmmaker and magician, George Méliès, shown on the screen alongside an amazing live musical performance, made for a truly enjoyable experience. An awesome collection of quirky silent films and clips from more than a century ago, scenes filled with amusing special effects and a touch of humor. The lighting, sound, and diversity of instruments used (including the theremin, triangle, music box, and waterphone) were mesmerizing and executed beautifully. The setting at the Marina Theatre was just right for a lighthearted feel-good time.
