Movie Theaters
Choosing a theater depends on the movie I'm
planning to see. If I expect great scenery, I want the big screen.
Otherwise, I can just rent a video later. Some theaters have better
seating, while others have better prices. A few even have dinner
with your movie.
Edwards Cinema
Edwards Cinema has a great selection of
first run movies. Having 18% of all indoor screens in the US gives
them the buying power to get the best shows.

seat. People in front of you, are barely noticeable, even if you're
short. The surround sound provides the full impact the director
wanted you to experience.
