Editorial Review for AMC Cinerama – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The most modern, lush theatre in Seattle. Before the show begins, a giant velvet curtain hides the concave, 68 foot-wide screen. A speckling of glittery ceiling lights give the impression that the theater is outdoors; it might as well be as the roof is dizzyingly high. And the speakers? In a word, killer. With 808 seats, including a grand balcony, the crowd is always diverse. Cult films are occasionally shown at midnight.

Insider Tips
Fun FactThe theater has been around since 1963--but it took Paul Allen millions of dollars to make it the premier Seattle theater today.
The ExtrasDuring the summer they run a "Summer Movie Camp" that shows free family oriented films (G-PG rated) every Wednesday at 10am.

I LOVE this theater. The most unique in Seattle for so many reasons. They played Blade Runner last month and the auditorium was over half full! From the velvet curtains, no commercials, the sparkly ceiling, the retro decor, the very mature audience that seems to frequent this theater...everything about Cinerama is a plus in my book (Besides the seats needing to be replaced)...

The cushy retro surroundings, balcony and tiered seats, and mood lighting make for a nicely romantic setting. Plus, it has a huge screen. Great for watching epics like 300. Customer service at the snack counter is also excellent. Shows seem to sell out fast, though, so buy tickets in advance for things like premiere nights and weekends.
Pros: great moviegoing experience
Cons: downtown parking is scanty
