Just FYI, there is only 1 IMAX screen, the rest are standard. My wife and I saw a regular movie. Werent overly impressed. Just seems like a low-average theater in terms of quality seating, furnishings, and general ambiance. One thing though, it was absolutely freezing in there!! I didnt turn my AC on in the car the whole trip home just trying to warm back up.
We did take a peek inside the IMAX screen after people had left the screening. I just have to say, I dont know what qualifies "IMAX", but I swear all of the IMAX screens I have ever seen (US / UK) have been atleast twice the size of that. It just doesnt seem all that big for an IMAX. Regardless, I am looking forward to Avatar in 3D come December on that screen.
We hit the bathroom adjacent to our own screen near the IMAX screen, and I really dont know what is going on. But the mens bathroom had 1 urinal (2 more plumbing with no urinal installed, and only 3 stalls with toilets. There was no trashcan and simply a trash bag laying on the floor. To say that was severely inadequate would be an understatement.
Just overall, I am not impressed at all with the Cinema. With all things Doha and going into the Villaggio, I was just expecting bigger and better. I think the both of us simply felt underwhelmed.
