Review of TCL Chinese Theatres

Well, the Chinese is, and has been, the place where the best World Premieres take place, and now that it's become an IMAX theatre, it's the place to go, as it's the bridge between REAL IMAX (which has like 3 theatres left in LA) and FAKE IMAX, found at your local AMC chain.
But that's another discussion to be had at another forum (maybe on my review of City Walk's theatres, REAL IMAX there, yo'!)
With the IMAX transformation, the Chinese lost some seats but gained BETTER ONES, not quite fully reclineable, but just enough to be comfy for your 2 hour movie (and I'm talking real 2 hour films, not the usual "2 hour" saying when movies are 90 mins. Unless they're counting the trailers... But I digress)
All in all, if you haven't, and have a chance, come see a movie at the Chinese!
