Highland Galaxy is Out of this World

The mainstream movie theaters are mostly awful. The two main chains in town, Cinemark and Regal, make the movie experience excruciatingly, not fun. These theaters charge you top dollar to sit and watch commercials as annoying as the ones at home on TV—except these commercials are shown as full cinematic spectacles played at ear-splitting volume. At home, at least I have a mute button.

I remember the last time I went to the Gateway, a Regal cinema, by the time the movie got around to starting I was in a foul, miserable mood, not in a movie-watching mood. My girlfriend had it worse. She was fighting off a migraine, induced by the pounding commercial reel.

The Highland Galaxy, on the other hand, provides a completely pleasurable moviegoing experience. If you arrive early, you can sit in the quiet theater, listen to some background music, and converse with your companion. At show time, they dim the house lights, show a few trailers, and then run the feature.

I don't think I'm ever going to set foot in a Regal cinema again. Thanks to the Highland Galaxy cinema, I won't have to.
