Just to add to the comments above you, all of the Alamo Drafthouses I've been to have been the best screen and audio I've been to. I've frequented chains and independent theaters. But I should point out that I don't live in a city as big as SF, so it's just one man's opinion. Your AMC and Cinemark might just be better.
- baddox 7y agoAMC Metreon is pretty top notch. It has the largest-format true IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and all the seats have been recently replaced so that even the base model theater has nice recliners. The Cinemark at the Westfield Mall also has fairly recent new seats, and their XD screens are quite nice. So yes, I'm spoiled, but I've honestly never even given much thought about attending a showing at the Alamo Drafthouse because I'm fairly sure it can't compete.
- anderber 7y agoThat sounds amazing, and I'm jealous. The closest Alamo Drafthouse to me (Twin Cities) has one of their new Big Show screens which I'm dying to see: https://drafthouse.com/twin-cities/the-big-show https://drafthouse.com/twin-cities/the-big-show
- goatherders 7y agoThe ones in Austin (where the company is based) are old movie theaters with old screens that are small. I don't mind, because other parts of the experience are better, but ALamo Village for example may as well be a theater from 1984.
- jayvius 7y agoThe Alamo Village location is an old theater, but the other five (soon to be six) Austin locations have all been built in the last 10 years or so.
