Best theater to watch the new Avatar?

Submitted by Muslim_Toaster t3_zooajy in pittsburgh

Sorry if this is a dumb post but I’m looking for a theater that offers a really good cinematic experience for watching the new avatar. If someone knows of a particular theater for IMAX 3d, great audio, etc. experience you’re recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Only thing we really have is AMC Dolby at the waterfront

AMC Waterfront has the only IMAX theater in the area, other than the one in the Science Center, but that one doesn't show first-run movies anymore.

Definitely AMC Waterfront. I prefer Dolby Digital for the comfier seats and Atmos sound system, but IMAX is also nice with the bigger screen.

Cinemark 3D XD is pretty solid. Not IMAX but still solid quality

I find that row F is the bestbat the AMC Dolby

I'm going away for Christmas so I'll be seeing it in Cinemark 3d xd with dbox seats which are apparently full motion seats :)

Not sure if they still show big releases there, but the theatre at the Carnegie Science center across from Heinz has a huge screen, don’t know what class it’s in though

Always go AMC Dolby, it is a game changer for any giant film like Avatar. Movie 🍿 was insane

Waterworks has nothing like Imax. You might be thinking of Pittsburgh Mills down 28, which used to have an Imax screen (and a much larger one than Waterfront). However, they strangely got rid of it with the new ownership (and with it the only reason to ever go out there).

This. While AMC Waterfront’s IMAX and Dolby screens might have slightly better picture/audio than Cinemark XD, the rooms they are in weren’t really designed for screens that size and have weird dimensions. The IMAX still has old school cramped seating and the Dolby has weird half recliners without enough room between aisles. AFAIK Cinemark Monroeville still has normal seating, but the recliners at Robinson and Mccandles are tits.
