This is mostly here for locals, tbhMy line of thought is that anybody can go to the cinema in any town at any time. Why would you want to do something on your vacation that you can do so easily at home?

I'm more likely to go to the movies while I'm on vacation than when I'm not. It's safe choice for vegging out somewhere that isn't a hotel room.My line of thought is that anybody can go to the cinema in any town at any time.

Can you elaborate on this? I've never been inside it. What aspects of it make it feel so noticeably dated?
I LOVE to visit the cinema when I'm in the US on vacation. First of all it's relaxing and I can't run around in theme parks for 10 weeks, I need to sit down sometimes. But the most important thing is here in the Netherlands movies are subtitled. I have the strange compulsion to reed the (often terrible) Dutch translations. It's tiring and takes me out of the movie experience. Once in Antwerp (Belgium) I watched LotR with Dutch and France subtitles (at the same time on the bottom of the screen) and I needed to reed them both, and I don't even read France! No, for me the cinema visit is an integral part of my vacation in the US.My line of thought is that anybody can go to the cinema in any town at any time.

This is also why I'm more inclined to go to the movies on vacation. My home theater set-up is good enough I don't like leaving it.I personally cannot understand why anyone would want to go to a theater anymore with the massive flat screens that are available for homes. Hearing people eat, talk, fart and cough just leaves me cold.
It’s still not the same. There’s absolutely nothing like seeing a movie in the theater.I personally cannot understand why anyone would want to go to a theater anymore with the massive flat screens that are available for homes. Hearing people eat, talk, fart and cough just leaves me cold.
I have a love/hate relationship with going to the theater. It's a good way to get out of the house and keep yourself occupied for a little bit, but sometimes it's too damn frustrating. I've seen 40 or so movies in theaters this year, and close to a quarter of them had bad audience members who didn't STFU. Whenever I ask people politely to stop talking, they'll act like I'm the Jerky McJerkface and continue talking. I've had to get refunds several times in the past year because of loud moviegoers. The theater should be the optimal place to see a movie, but people can ruin the experience way too easily. I really wish Alamo Drafthouse would expand to more states.I personally cannot understand why anyone would want to go to a theater anymore with the massive flat screens that are available for homes.

If you think about it, there could could definitely be a hotel that is in that spot and connects over to where Bubba Gump currently resides. Of course, I don't think that happens. I don't think UOR has any interest in bringing hotels into CityWalk.AMC building has a bigger footprint than Aventura .... watch that space! ... realise will not be another hotel
... oops forgot about NBC and Voodoo in that footprint

Good movies are designed to be an audience experience (notice I said good movies). There's nothing like a great comedy with a laughing audience, a thriller with a gasping audience, or an action film where you can almost feel everyone's heartbeat accelerating. I have what I would consider a first-class set up (4k 3D 55' TV, Dolby 7.1, and just about every format known to man - Blu-ray, DVD, laserdisc///) and would never think of seeing certain movies anywhere but a bug screen nowdays.I personally cannot understand why anyone would want to go to a theater anymore with the massive flat screens that are available for homes.

I find that the movie watching experience at home is way less immersive and much harder to catch nuances in filmmaking than the theater. There are just way too many distractions at home.Good movies are designed to be an audience experience (notice I said good movies).

Well!
So, can anyone out there confirm what I’m hearing about AMC leaving the UOR Citywalk Cineplex?
