Huge screen. Make sure you get in early enough to get a good seat facing straight.

Major upgrade from what it used to be. Seats are comfy, well-spaced, and the acoustics are incredible. Worth every penny.

Beware of impostor IMAX cinemas at local multiplexes. This and the PACCAR Theater are the only real IMAX cinemas in the Seattle area.

Be there one hour early to get the best seats. Big movies (Spiderman, The Hobbit) are usually sold out.

This theater is great to watch a documentary or national geographic movie! Sit up high so you can see the entire screen!

The concession stand is bloody expensive, but the experience was completely worth it.

The seating arrangement doesn't affect your experience too much, but getting a seat towards the center is still desirable.

They're not joking about late admittance, they will turn you away after the show starts (which is usually on the dot)

See any 3D major motion-picture release here, but wait for the second week (less crowding) -- so amazing!!!

Sit up high, and try not to see a regular movie. Was hard to watch in 3D. Kinda weird how the screen is shaped so you have to be in the exact middle for 3D to look okay. Read more

Siempre es una experiencia placentera disfrutar de una película en una pantalla gigante y con sonido envolvente. Lo único malo es que no puedes pre-seleccionar asientos
