Lagoon adjusts to any situation.
We had tickets for a 5 pm showing of one of the 'big' movies. Lagoon's Time-Warner partner, Moviefone, oversold the show by many-many tickets. The Lagoon managment, Kim from Seattle specifically,
took it in stride and was able to reorganize the showings, move a couple of showings to their sister site the Uptown and keep the patrons happy.
I've been to many of the movies at both sites, and have always come away pleased. This time I was totally impressed. A true service company.…
The Uptown's sister multiplex featuring top indie flicks..
The Scene
This five-screener opened in 1995 as a sister theater to the nearby Uptown, which was originally called the Lagoon. The new Lagoon takes its name seriously, with swirly blue and
green aquatic-pattern carpet, foliage in the form of wood paneling and palm-tree lights. (Yes, those gold posts with luminous protuberances are trees.)
The Draw
The theaters are viewer-friendly with cushy seats, sharp floor inclines--reportedly to make subtitle-reading easier--and booming sound systems. There's also a nifty advance-ticketing arrangement. The much-touted specialty coffees at the concession stand take forever, if the machine works at all.…
Pretentious & Overpriced. I want these people to stop holding the good movies hostage! The theatres are tiny, the sound crap, the help snide... Oh, and only 1 show per day at matinee price. Highway robbery.
Landmark- a good time had by all. Other than the Oak Street and U-Film Society, the Lagoon is one of the only places to find a good or not so good "art house" film.
