The EpiCentre Theaters might show the same blockbuster films as movie theaters all over town, but that’s where the similarities to a multiplex end. The five-screen theater is the first movie theater in Uptown and offers a moviegoing experience that deserves two thumbs up.
Reserved seats ($9 matinees/$12 evenings) are the norm, and the concession stand looks like a bar in an upscale hotel (with prices to match) and has a stocked bar as well as soda, popcorn, and Goobers. In the lobby, gallery-quality art replaces traditional movie posters and movie trailers are played on flat-screen televisions.
There are small tables at every seat to accommodate meals from Mez. (The restaurant shares the same space as the theater and provides takeout from its menu exclusively to moviegoers.)
