I was also sad to see the old tenplex close. But the new theater is really nice, I have to admit. It’s hard to not get excited when everything is so big and new and clean!
Does anyone have any information about the specific digital projection equipment they’re using? Or the media servers or digital media delivery methods they use? I finally got my first taste of D-Cinema and now I’m curious about all the technical details.
THe manager of the ten plex did not move with the theater?
Nice theatre but parking is a nightmare. I haven’t been there on Sunday yet, but the parking situation is bad enough to keep me away the rest of the time. As far as the actual theatre, it was nice and I liked the fact people could walk by and you don’t really have to get up because there’s enough space in front of the seats.
Has anyone tried to get into the parking lot from the back roads? Don’t bother. All access roads will be blocked on Sundays. The only way in or out on Sundays will be either Routes 4 or 17. You can thank the town of Paramus and it’s blue laws for that.
he must have some good experience with those theaters.
The General Manager of the AMC Garden State 16 Theatre was previously the GM of the AMC Jersey Gardens 20 Theatre (Elizabeth, NJ), and the Senior Manager of the AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatre (Bensalem, PA)
One of the better multiplexes around – the lobby is large, more of an AMC style interior design than Rockaway (they had the AMC murals, carpeted lobby, and LED displays). They also had a seating area with couches that reminded me of Cinema De Lux.
In the theater the seats were wide and comfortable (AMC style, as well) with two theateres to the left of the snackbar (1 & 2) and 3-16 to the right (which streaches back into the mall). The screens were large (like Rockaway) – while I will always treasure the ten plex and am pissed its gone, I have to say this wasn’t bad, in fact its on a par with Edgewater Multiplex. The thing that I dislike though is the amount of teens on cell phones – what is obnoxious in the mall will unfortuantly extend to the cinema and become a major distraction. Whereas there was some distance between the mall and the tenplex, bored mall shoppers will wonder in to a picture looking for “something to do”. Tonight’s screening of Bug (which was very intense and well acted, but in parts slow) was met with walk outs, cell phone calls, and other distractions. I look foward to this place when summer movie season ends and hopefully they show an indie flick or two when they’re done with Spiderman on 3 screens.
Oh, my bad. Two theaters with DLP sounds great, since the closest theater near me that has DLP is either Parsippany and Succasunna, both owned by Clearview. It won’t be too long before DLP comes to my theater.
Actually there are at least two theaters with DLP projection.
