Fabian 8 – it’s nice)

I did go here this weekend, beautiful theater with great sound, projection and a friendly staff. We were in 8 for Brooklyn’s Finest, large theater, comfortable seats with retractable arm rests and a good amount of leg room, a few times someone would walk by the port window (part of it was blocked off, but they still caught the beam in the regular rows) and a shadow would appear on screen, this could get odd at a more crowded showing I’m sure.
I’ll write more on the theater’s page.
