Interesting experience, but very distracting situations. Everyone's cell phones ring constantly, and they just answer them and start talking. The girls all where high heeled boots and you can hear the clomping as they walk up and down the aisles. Bring your coat and gloves if you're watching a movie in the wintertime, the heat is turned off! My legs and feet were numb from the cold by the end of the film. Watching the movie isn't near as much fun as observing all of the side actions from the audience, enjoy!
