This theatre has nine screens. 3 on one floor, 4-5 on another floor, 6-7 on another, and 8-9 on next and final floor. Once operated by Cineplex Odeon, this became a Loews Cineplex in 1998. Loews remodeled it in 2004 with new seats, interior etc… This is now known as AMC Loews 600 North Michigan.
Per Chitown Guy’s last post, theatre one is probably the best here. The auditorium is not as shallow, nor as wide.
I go to this theatre very frequently as I live close by. Every Thursday night they have free movies as part of the Loew’s Fan Favorite series. Usually the films will be anywhere from 1 to 15 years old and recent offerings have included SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THE PATRIOT, INDEPENDENCE DAY, TWISTER, LA CONFIDENTIAL, and DONNIE DARKO (which was about the worst movie I’ve ever seen).
The 600 North has also added a bar, which is open on weekends.
These theaters just went through a major rehab. The lobby areas are very nice and contemporary. However, the auditoriums are very shallow and like the previous poster states, you feel way too overwhelmed looking at the screen. Watching a movie here is very uncomfortable. It feels like sitting in the first few rows while watching an IMAX movie.
This is a pretty decent theater and it’s in good shape. But then again, it is only 10 years old. I hope that Loews doesn’t run it into the ground like they seem to be doing with the Esquire.
My only complaint about the 600 North is that the auditoriums are shallow (only about 10 rows deep) and wide. I feel like I’m sitting right on top of the screen! And woe be to those who have to sit in the first three rows or on the sides!
Do you take student movie passes for the upcoming movie the grudge?
Please get back to me possibly in the next hour on this question at I really need to know so I can buy tickets today!
