The AMC Metreon
Last week on Friday, my friends and I visited the AMC Metreon 16, which is located at 135 4th St Suite 3000, San Francisco, CA 94103. At first, we were visiting because of the assignment. However, after a while of walking around, we decided to watch Sonic, the Hedgehog that was being shown as from 2 pm. Initially, I had not thought that places such as AMC Metreon could be marketable since the present society has provided technological provisions such as televisions and DVDs, through which a person can watch from anywhere. However, the AMC Metreon was packed to its capacity on this day. Weekends are the peek, according to one of the ushers we talked to. He explained that most people begin coming on Friday, and the numbers continue to rise as the days progress.
The cinema world is seen from afar. The building is significant, and so are the poster reading AMC on the premise that ushers a person in. On its inside, the theatre is designed to display an aesthetic aspect that is not seen in other theatres. The lighting of this theatre is what attracted me most to it. The mix of different colors of light that can be seen from the outside enhances the appearance of the theatre. The inside of the theatre is made up of several seats, and according to the size of the theatre, it can accommodate more than two hundred individuals. The arrangement of these chairs is also systematic to create a beautiful pattern. Another factor that I loved in the theatre is the comfort that the seats offer. They are made of soft cushions that are comfortable for sitting, and one cannot notice how time passes by when one is watching.
The atmosphere that is created in the theatre using air conditioning and other decorations that enhance the appearance enhances the mood and attitude that a person develops when planning on watching a movie. The screens are also huge, and they have excellent clarity that gives a person the impression and need to want to watch movies. The lighting that is used in the interior of the theatre is deemed, and as such, it gives the right amount of light that is needed to make see the seats, and the rest of the room is light by the screens. The supplementing light from the screen is also deemed, and as such, it enhances the appearance of specific parts of the theatre, making the image seem real and appealing to the eye.
Additionally, some snacks are sold outside the theatre, and a person can buy and keep their mouths busy while watching the movie. I bought myself a glass of sprite soda and some popcorns, and so did my friends. After settling down, I began drinking my sprite since I had missed taking a soda. After everybody settled down, the movie started. We were lucky because we had come early and sat on the front rows, and from our location, I could see clearly, and the images were also so enlarged, so anyone in the room could see. However, I love sitting in the front every time I go to a theatre because I believe that the closer I am to the screen, the easier it gets to connect with the characters. I have always been a fan of anime films, and watching the Sonic Hedgehog got me excited. I had not watched it, but I heard my classmates talk about it and they said it was awesome. At the end of the movie, I could understand why people loved the movie so much. The experience was a beautiful one, and I would like to have a revisit of the AMC Metreon.
