Sure, it may only be one screen, but its one of the best screens in the Pacific Northwest. It doesn't have a bad seat in the house, the screen is gigantic and amazing, and the sounds is all digital. If you want to see a movie that has lots of special effects, there is really no place better than the Cinerama. Tickets are slightly more pricey than the average theater, but it turns out there food is slightly less of a rip off than the normal movie theater, so it kind of rounds itself out. I always think parking is going to be a hassle there, but something usually works out that is not too far, and if you are lazy or in a hurry, they have a pay lot right next to the theater. Thank Paul Allen for this one!!

This is not only a great theatre but one that understnad the problems that the disabled have in many theatres. The seats for disabled are in the center of the theatre and clearly marked. The staff will assist you if you need help and the theatre is clean. Plays some of the best movies in seattle and has great sound.

There is no better place in Seattle to catch a movie! This place has a huge screen and it draws big crowds to every big opening. Tickets usually sell out for the opening days in advance and the line winds around the block. If you dont mind the crowd, it is so much fun to sit with so many people so excited to see the movie. My only complaint is parking. There is one pay lot behind the theater, but if you dont get there early you will have to park somewhere else.

great screen, sound, and seats -- if there's a big movie, it's worth waiting in line.

It is one of the best theaters in the Seattle area. You must watch all the big sound effect movies in this theater. One thing I dislike is parking, they just don’t provide it…may be it’s because it’s in the downtown area and parking is scarce. The sound system is the best and can’t stop mentioning about it.

I would suggest seeing the big big movies there, such as the Lord of the Rings and Spiderman movies. The huge screen is incredible and the decor truly make this a fun and memorable experience. Every year they have the Cinerama film festival, showing the old Cinerama films and utilizing the three projectors. Arrive early to the theater, as there is usually a long line. However, there are plenty of seats.

Another Seattle landmark, this theater is known for its "cinerama" screen, which basically means it's huge and slightly curved, designed for the 70mm films that were popular in the 50's and 60's. Refurbished in the '90's by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, it's better than ever today and is the place to see an event film, such as the latest sci-fi spectacular.

This is not your typical shopping mall movie theatre... it actually has character! This is a single screen theatre that's been renovated and kept up. Everything is totally retro & just a nice change of pace from a typical theatre. Also, the seats lean back entirely too far, but I think it's fun. The crowd seems fun too, maybe that's the theatre or maybe that's just Seattle?

This is a truly great place to see a new movie. Despite the somewhat uncomfortable chairs in the back, the sound system is great, the screen is huge, the staff is nice, and the theatre is relatively clean. I saw Star Wars III here, which was a great experience!

If you have not seen a movie at the Cinerama, you are missing out on an amazing experience! The huge screen, incredible sound, and luxurious seats, blows away all other theaters I have been to. The Cinerama mostly shows major blockbuster movies, but they choose films that look and sound great in their theater. No independent movies here! Check out the Landmark Theatres if you are looking for independent. When I want to see a major action or sci-fi flick, I check to see if it will be playing at Cinerama before I look elsewhere. Since the Cinerama has only one screen, they don’t switch movies very often. Also, if you want to see a popular movie on opening weekend, it is important to buy tickets in advance.
