It was only a matter of time before Edwards hit the ten-dollars-a-pop mark for having the privilege to sit in their movie theater. Ten dollars isn't enough for me though, I need to impress my date by giving Edwards more cash for a flick.
How can Fresno's Edwards theater help?
Here's what Edwards came up with: play a non-IMAX movie in the IMAX theater and make me pay a few extra dollars for it. I'm given the same thing I'd see on the ten dollar screen, but as a added bonus, many speakers have blown tweeters, the projector sounds like a cotton gin, you have to look around people's heads to see the screen, and there's only two long lines to get snacks.
So, you do save some money by not getting a chance to buy Cookie Dough Bites and a bladder damaging soda tub. But that couple extra bones for a ticket isn't worth all the annoyances just to see a movie on a slightly bigger screen.
