Bob Bullock Imax Theater
Great for seeing Imax films, but ill equiped to deal with the public/large crowds.
We've been to see Harry Potter and enjoyed ourselves. We realized though they have a make shift concession stand andaren't like a regular theater.
So we decided to go this weekend and see Batman. Rule number 1- buy your tickerts online. We did not and nowhere on their site, on their door, at the parking that cost $8 did it say sold out all shows. We get in line, which they moved us twice back and forth in and were there for 10 minutes (they are super slow) before someone asked if the show was sold out. After several I think so, they said yes and 1/2 the line left.
IMAX, train your people. I realize they may be volunteers for the museum but if you are going to run first run major films have some consideration for your customers.
We left, did not get out money back for 15 minutes of parking and am sure we won't be back soon.…
Worst IMAX Theater in Texas. You would think, especially with their proximity to UT, that this IMAX would balance the Texas educational presentations with popular mainstream movies. But unfortunately Austinites still have to drive to San Antonio or Houston in order to see the major marketed and anticipated IMAX movies. Sad for a city this size. An e-mail response from the Bullock IMAX said they can't arrange for the mainstream movies because they have to guarantee a certain number of showings, etc. Odd, they still get a few big regular movies, but never anything to violent. They censor anything too fun for fun's sake.…
Original IMAX films and occasionally Hollywood blockbusters are shown on this six-story screen located adjacent to the Story of Texas Museum..
In Short
Families, tourists, university students and other moviegoers watch original, larger-than-life IMAX films at this Texas-sized movie theater. A variety of films, typically shorter
than an hour, rotate through the theater each day and highlight places, animals, history and nature. New pictures debut regularly and join the custom-made host film Texas: The Big Picture. Select specially made films are shown in 3-D, sometimes including specially formatted Hollywood family films.
