Century Arden 14 and XD

Absolute joke of a theater- all screens are 1.85 with NO MASKING, so the majority of movies are letterboxed. A huge insult to the two original Century domes which had huge wide screens and were the benchmark by which I’ve judged all other theaters. The largest auditorium shown in the above picture admittedly has a good-sized screen, but the wrong ratio and lack of masking ruins it.

There was a campaign to either save and restore the original domes or have a better theater than this built in their place, Cinemark failed to deliver either. The two domes had about 950 seats each, there are fewer seats across the 14 new theaters here, some having as few as 50. If just a few people show up, your showing will be crowded.

I will call this theater The Mistake as long as it operates. We deserved SO much better considering what was there before.
