The Metreon movie theaters are generally one of the better theaters in SF. They're what you'd expect from a modern multiplex (stadium seating, good sound, expensive concessions). I really like the IMAX theater, which is one of, if not the largest in the world. They used to play regular movies on the IMAX screens, which was always a nice bonus, and now there are an increasing number of mainstream movies being released specifically for IMAX. The tickets are more expensive, but it's a whole different moving going experience. I don't know if it's because the tickets are more expensive or if it's the larger IMAX theater, I found that people are much better behaved (much less talking and cell phones).
