User Reviews for Biograph Theatre

3 Star Rating: Average

06/04/2004 Posted by uncamark

Like many of Village Entertainment's takeovers of former Cineplex Odeon/Meridian multiplexes, the prices are reasonable and the employees are friendly. However, the overwhelming second-hand feeling is still evident--and the 30s feel that the Biograph had back in the Larry Edwards days was removed when the theaters were Drabinsky-ed in the 80s and replaced with the same design that every other Cineplex Odeon plex had at the time. However, for first run films (and the occasional surprise) at reasonable prices and decent projection, you could do worse.

Pros: Prices, Friendly Staff, Cleaner Than Others

Cons: , Blah Concessions, Predictable Booking

Editor's Review

A classic theater best known for its role in Chicago history.  See the full editorial review.
