We come here whenever we go to the movies. That theater was outstanding in picture and sound. All the theaters have stadium seating with all the chairs able to recline a bit.
The only negative is that if at a quiet part in your movie, you will be able to hear the other theaters movie playing but this does not take a way your experience.
Each have very good video and sound quality. All the theaters are comfortable and roomy. The prices of concessions expensive but they have deals and a membership is offered so you can lower prices further. It is very clean and the employees are helpful. With that in mind, The Grand 18 is my go to theater. I think they couldve handle the whole thing a lot better.įirst of all there is only a few select movies I deem "Theater" movies so I do not go that often because of the expense. But neither do I go to be scolded by the staff. I dont go to the movies to have a conversation with friends. But being that I was trying to finish texting our plans to the family we were meeting up with later, with every intention of turning it off when the room went dark, the whole announcement thing made me very uncomfortable. I can understand the whole thing about cell phones during a movie. Im pretty sure they did this because of a ruckus I heard earlier in the hallways from someone complaining angrily to management that there was no "warning", though, at the time, I didnt know what he meant by that. Sadly the one thing that stands out is not the sound quality, but the announcement verbally made before the movie that if they saw the light from our cell phones for ANY reason, wed be kicked out. At Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, we actually thought something horrible had happened to a group of kids behind us, but it was just the surround sound of a mermaid attack. The sound quality stands out as one of the best Ive heard. I thought the place was very nice, though unnecessarily expensive. Ive only been once, so take this review with a grain of salt. You know as well as I do that there shouldnt be any problem in letting a regular customer who has spent a lot of money in this theatre come back and see one on a pass when it has been ruined for me.Im not sure if the management are that strict on such things or they are just playing hard ball? So the unfriendly way I was treated during this event really turned me against how they are running things here. and never offered me a ticket to come back. but she denied that!.I was really ill about this, so I called the district manager, who only wanted to talk to me on the phone. I told the manager on duty that night who was a long brown haired young woman.She told me that she would go check on it.after all of this I didnt get no sense out of the movie from being so disrupted! I asked if she would give me a pass to come back to see it again since this happened. One time I had a incident with someone disrupting the movie by throwing candy down on the front row where i was sitting hitting me in the head. The things Ive had a problem with are Ticket prices being a little too high, along with very high priced concessions that make it hard to budget with a movie price or two. Ive been to see Movies at this theatre a lot! I really like the seating and sound quality of the movies. I would advise caution though, especially if you are somewhat picky about visual quality and are going to see an action-heavy flick. Im not completely ready to write off the Grand, I will give them one more chance.
At the Grand I couldnt even tell what was happening other than some dudes were probably getting beat up. In the other theater this scene was amazing, bright, and clear. In this scene you can see a trail of motion blur and ghosting every time a punch or kick is thrown.
There is a scene in particular with a character in a dark outfit doing martial arts in a hallway that is painted white from floor to ceiling. And worst of all, the action sequences in this action-heavy film were nearly unwatchable. There were focus problems with the projector throughout the film. We once again had trouble seeing the film because it was extremely dark. This time, however, I had a point of comparison because I had seen the film only a few days prior at another theater. This past weekend we saw Iron Man 2 at the Grand and experienced the exact same problem. We both wondered if it was just a problem that particular night or in that particular theater, or perhaps it could have even been the films fault. It was extremely dark and out of focus, and the action scenes had a ridiculous amount of judder/motion blur.
Last Christmas my wife and I saw Sherlock Holmes at the Grand.
