Convenient and just fine 1/28/2009

This theater is very convenient, has easy parking (although i can walk to it!) and a great selection of movies. It is somewhat a victim of over use - if you go to a later show the concession stand areas, restrooms, etc. seem a little messy and could be cleaned more often. I just get the feeling they can't keep up with the crowds. Pros: lots of choices, convenient Cons: messy, too many people more

Too Good To Last 12/30/2002

Apparently there has been a significant change in management or management philosophy. What used to be a great afternoon or evening at the movies has turned into just another mediocre experience of lazy and distracted staff (I actually heard ""not my job""), poor concession selection (no Dots), and variable audio and visual quality. Either there is a lack or direct, experienced management, or bottom-line cost cutting measures have sacrificed service quality. Pros: Good Selection, Good Parking, Good Location Cons: Mediocre Experience, Unhelpful Staff, Lazy Staff more

No Coffee! No Comforts 11/11/2002

I have an office around the corner. Concessions is sadly lacking. The ""TRUE BUTTER"" popcorn ""may"" be true. Staff is lazy and unmotivated. Can't wander between art and regular theatres, very lazy attitude of ticket takers, it's just a pretty good theatre that ends up offering a very lousy experience. For matinee theatregoers, you will have pretty good privacy, as attendance is very weak. For evening suburban theatregoers, I believe you will be fine but unimpressed. Positive - it IS the edge of downtown Evanston, and with validated parking - garage parking, you can make an evening out of downtown Evanston, which has always felt safe and comfortable, if not friendly, to me, as a long time near-local. more

mega movie mall 6/27/2002

glitzy comes to mind...actually a pretty cool place. They thought of everything when they designed this place - forget about the movies - there's a serve yourself candy bar, jazz music, a real bar - liquor, and a Wolgang Pucks Cafe. If you actually make it into one of the theaters, you'll love the sound and the stadium seating. more

What a palace! 5/15/2002

This place is so cool. Not only is it an arthouse theater with stadium seating, there's actually a bar with live jazz, plus a Wolfgang Puck's express. Very cool; ya gotta envy those NU kids. more
