This is where they filmed some of the Academy Awards ceremonies. A very grand and historic theatre.

I only did the tour of the theatre and it was great! Some Star Wars recreations were displayed at the time because of the release of the last jedi. This theatre is known for their association with the franchise. We then went outside and learned some history about the handprints on the floor.

I got to sit in some of the seats and although it is exciting, I don't think it's the best place to see a movie nowadays.

I opted to see the last jedi in their new 4DX theatre and that was WOW! Very realistic and cool effects (Rain when there is rain on screen, if a character burps you smell it, fire smell when there is fire in the scene, the seats move when you are in the spaceship, etc). I highly recommend that!

PS: if you do the tour, remember the name of your tour guide. If you see a movie on the same day, you get a free small popcorn. Just tell the concession stand employee the name of your tour guide.
