Famous Players-Paramount

Famous Players-Paramount

Famous Players-Paramount is a large multi-floor ten-screen cinema including an IMAX screen. However, the movie Shark Tale was out of focus to the point I couldn't stand it and walked out to find someone to complain and correct the problem.

It took some effort to find someone and took awhile to have it corrected. But in the end as the titles rolled by, it was out of focus.

This is a common problem, not just with this establishment. Most modern movie complexes don't have someone to check that the image is sharply focused on the screen. What amazes me is that people are paying good money and accept a blurry picture on the screen without complaining to management to correct the problem.

Shark Tale was light entertainment with rap music, which if I knew ahead of time, wouldn't have bother going to watch it.

This cinema complex is huge. It has over 20 screens including an IMAX screen showing documentaries and short films. This is one of the English cinemas and shows mostly American/British films. The cinema is on various levels and has a wide range of eating outlets (bagels, pretzels, popcorn, chips, fries etc). At the top of the complex is a bar area.Pitchers of beer seemed to be cheaper here than most pubs I visited. $10.00(inc tax) a pitcher for well know beers such as Alexander Keiths. Classical music can be heard from a man on a grand piano. Tickets to see the film were $12.50 inc tax at night. During the day the prices drop down a little.



The film 'We Were Soldiers' starred Mel Gibson and was based on a true story about the Vietnam War. The story is pretty much a standard war film with a lot of action, blood and tears. However it does show an alternative view of the Vietnam war (than the usual glory), in that it also focuses on the Vietnamese, which brings the whole story into perspective. I think the film would appeal more to men than women. Be warned there are some gory shots included in the film, even the men I was with winced.
