So many of the cinemas in the greater Boston area are showing their signs of age, so Loews Boston Common is a really nice change of pace. It's huge, something like 20 screens. The stadium seating is comfortable and designed to let you see things better (and if you don't mind sitting pretty close in some of the screens, you can sometimes get just 2 seats together and not have to deal with having any annoying people sit near you). The seats themselves are comfortable, too. It's great for a last minute trip to the movies because with so many screens there's a lot of choice and something starting most of the time. It is a bit overwhelming with so many people and all the escalators. It's right across from the Boylston T stop on the Green Line, so very convenient by public transport (also not much of a walk from Park Street and Red Line, though it's easiest just take the train one more stop). A dollar or two more than some other theaters, but not more than that.
