From Josh Tyler, CinemaBlend.com:

Would you pay $35 dollars to see a movie? Wait! Let me finish before you say no. Because you’re not paying $35 dollars to be packed in a dirty movie theater filled with hundreds of other unruly, disinterested patrons in broken seats, ruled by unruly teenagers who pelt everyone over the age of 20 with uncooked popcorn pellets and shout racial epithets during all the good parts. Instead, what you’ll get with a $35 ticket at Village Roadshow Gold Class Cinemas when they open in they open in Chicago this year, is the ultimate, movie going experience.

$35 gets you:

• Plush, recliner, reserved seating in a 40-seat theater.
• Special parking privileges.
• Upscale food and beverages served by waiters.
• State of the art projection and surround sound.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s movies the way they ought to be seen, without all the idiotic distractions that have been keeping people away from regularly priced cinemas. Some of this is of course, already available at other theaters. For instance the legendary Alamo Drafthouse in Austin already serves upscale food, as do several copycat chains here in Dallas like the Movie Tavern and the Studio Movie Grill in Dallas. To me, the thing that really makes it worth this price is the notion of a 40-seat theater filled with plush recliners. No crowds, no unruly teenagers, just me, a soda, an incredibly comfy chair, big freakin picture and big freakin sound… the way god intended it.

If they ever come to Canada the tickets would probably be closer to $50. It would be great if you have 40 friends and make it a personal feel!
