Hands down. There is no comparison to this theatre and it's MEGA HUGE screen. My first movie here was Star Wars in 1977, then Grease in 1978. I still fondly remember them and the many movies that I've seen there since then. There's a reason that this is an old Seattle favorite - this is the way that movies used to be watched, and the way they come out best on-screen. For big Hollywood blockbusters, this is the ONLY place in the universe to see those movies. Thank God Paul Allen bought it and is renovating it!

Everyone has been begging me to check this theater out. When I finally got there I got a little ill from how the screen was positioned. Its an enormous screen that is shaped inward to give the audience more of an effect from the movie. I wasn't really impressed by this and didn't see what the big deal was. It felt like a normal theater to me only a little too overwhelming. I think I will just stick to the basic theater rather than get ill.

If you have to run to the restroom while the movie is playing you'll still be able to at least hear the audio while you are away. This place has a nostalgic feel. Most places these days don't have that unique quality anymore. There are big blue velvet seats and plush surroundings. You will find balcony seating as well. The Cinerama is a one screen theatre. So, if there is a movie coming out that you know you will want to see, watch for it to show at the Cinerama and go there. If you have never been here before, you'll be happy you made the trip. I guess you could say it is the Paramount of movie theatres.

This place has the largest screen in Seattle. It's about three stories high! And the sound system is quite spectacular. From the moment you arrive, you can tell that this place is special. Watch the twinkling starry ceiling while you wait for your movie to begin. Stay away on premieres unless you are a die-hard fan. Depending on the movie, people will wait outside for days to be first in line. It is truly an experience to see a movie here.
