Happy Mother's Day!
Mom wanted to see the new movie with Melissa McCarthy called "Life of the Party" so we decided to make an event of it and take her to the newly renovated Landmark Cinemas 8 Grant Park.
We have been the the Cineplex VIP theatre and love it there so I will do a comparison.
Both have comfortable seats that turn into "loveseats" if you push the middle arm up so they can be coupled or put the arm down to be separate.
VIP you can rock in your comfortable chair. Landmark you can recline the seat and put your feet up!
Landmark has more space between the chairs behind and in front of you to allow for the recline but this also means if people around you are talking you aren't as likely to hear them.
VIP is 18+ which means no one under the age of 18 can come in at all. That one could be a pro and a con! They also sell alcohol.
VIP has in-seat service till the show starts.
VIP only has 3 theatres so there is a limited time for each movie that plays there. Landmark has 8 so a movie will play there longer.
Both theatres offer pre-purchased tickets with seat selection.
Landmark prices vary from $6.99 to $15.99 depending on promo days and if it is 3D with their regular price being $10.99. VIP varies from $13.49 to $19.99 depending on the promo but offers less choices of times of the day.
Have you been to both or either? Which one do you prefer?
