Just the screen. No fork, TYVM.
For Christmas, John and I got an AMC gift card from one of his co-workers; so after a busy shopping afternoon we decided to try the new Fork & Screen at AMC 30 in Olathe. Mind you, it is $15 after 4 p.m. and that was the first disappointment after being used to $8 at Cinemark (even if it smells like rancid popcorn most of the time) or $4 if you go before 6 p.m.
The theatre is beautiful, the seats are super-comfy, the people are nice at the entrance. But that's about it. If you plan to spend $40 in food, you better go to a nice restaurant before the movie instead of wasting your money there. Our order took way too long to arrive, it was cold, it was bland and just not worth the price. If you see the words "Parmesan Fries" you expect them to be something more rather than just regular fries sprinkled with cold Kraft Parmesan cheese, right? Hmmm...
The whole eat while you watch a movie experience? Not for me. The waiters are distracting and some people think they are in a restaurant and talk too loud. It was one of those things I did once and will think about twice to do it again. If I want food during a movie, I'll rent it the movie and eat at home. Especially for that price. $40 for a burger and some chicken tenders? Insane.
That being said, the movie we watched saved the evening. Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best movies I've ever seen. But I'll leave the review to my husband.
