What I meant and worded poorly was that Barco also makes 2k laser projectors and the press releases didn't specify which (2k or 4k) were being installed.

I’ve tried the Dine-in a couple times pre and post pandemic. I feel that the food has gone down in quality but I did enjoy the updated seating.

I saw Jaws today in the AMC Dine-in since that was the only format they were showing in. Here’s an photo of the updated dedicated dine-in theater.

I don’t know what this laser thing is about, but if it can burn the Nicole Kidman ad into my retinas then sign me up

The food is a far cry from the quality of 2017. To be fair, I only went to dine-in to see movies I didn't necessarily care about getting distracted in, and I and my friends enjoyed sitting and eating food that was actually pretty good at a table. The seats are better now but the food is far worse and there's no traditional table. It's completely up to opinion, but I preferred the old distracting dine-in experience.

Not to my knowledge, but I've not been in the original dine-in side like that since Passengers. This was the seats they had in Theater 17 when I saw the US release of Verdens verste menneske (The Worst Person in the World). It was worth noting as well, they didn't come in during the film, unless I were to have ordered something presumably through the app. Now you do order in the lobby and it's brought to you before the movie begins. For those wondering, the seats also recline and are heated. For those wondering, this was the setup for Passengers. It was a rather more pleasant experience then when I saw Passengers. I recently did the Studio Movie Grill at Sunset walk when I saw NOPE, and all all my issues with the original AMC Dine-in were present. The experience can be quite distracting. Bonus: The seats at Studio Movie Grill are like that of AMC's Theater 17 but are not heated. Bonus 2: My at the time my review of the original AMC Dine In at Disney Springs. https://behindthethrills.com/2017/01/review-amc-fork-and-screen-it-is-what-it-is-truly-cooked-up-to-be/ Which I surmised: It’s great for if you have seen the movie already as it can be quite distracting, have a special occasion you are celebrating, want to have a special evening at the movies with your significant other or if you have a great gift card balance or promo code to AMC. I still stand by my comment of "if you have a great gift card balance or promo code to AMC." as it can be as high as 40 Dollars for someone to go by themselves.

Barco also makes 4K laser and these are noted within the Cinionic site. https://www.barco.com/en/products/series-4-smart-cinema-projectors?facets=p_resolution_4k https://www.cinionic.com/series4-laser-projectors Cinionic can also upgrade the light sources as well. https://www.cinionic.com/laser-upgrade/

No they remodeled those theaters. Dine in is far worse now in both quality and experience.

Do they still have the theaters that had tables you could use for food? They were in front of the seats, not just a side rest.

DisneyCaneSep 01, 2022

I assume they will be going with 4k projectors but you know what happens when you assume. Barco manufactures 2k laser cinema projectors so that is a possibility. The quality improvement should be noticeable but not quite as good as the Dolby Cinema or IMAX with Laser black levels. Both of those preprocess the laser light for local dimming zones to be able to achieve extreme black levels with DLP projection.

You knew this was coming.

It would be cool if they made it like Sci Fi dine in inside the theaters. This way you can watch real movies in fake cars.

Yes for the 31st it’s sold out but sept first it’s still available and both showings are still labeled Dolby Cinema
