Last night marked the grand ribbon cutting and opening of the new Palladio 16 Cinemas in Folsom. The event offered much pomp and circumstance, complete with a limo loop to drive attendees from parking lot to red “carpet†(which is actually a sparkly, red, stone addition to the actual sidewalk).
The theater seats are spacious and cozy—they even recline. The digital picture quality was sharp and pristine. The entire place still smells of plastic and new—except for the entrance, which obviously smelled of freshly popping, buttery corn.
Overall, it’s certainly a quality viewing experience. Yet, for the $19 price tag you’ll pay to experience it, you won’t find any of the exquisite character of The Crest with its grand architecture and artistic detail. Aside from the fancy red sidewalk, it’s just a basic, dark, nondescript theater. You won’t be hearing the classic Annie song “Let’s go to the Movies†with images of Broadway tap dancers floating through your head. It’s just another movie theater with an ultra-high ticket price.

$19? For a movie? Seriously?
I thought $10.50 was too much. Luckily many places in town still charge $8.
$19?

The website that you linked to says that General Admission is $10.50. What’s the $19 for?

May I assume the $19 was due to the popcorn that is a necessity at a movie?

The movie viewing experience is like no other.
The ticket prices for the Charity event that took place on December 9 was $20 and it was 100% donated to charity.
The standard ticket prices are available at http://www.palladio16.com and are much more inline with standard movie prices.
Enjoy the show!
