Movies are a huge American past-time. They shape societal views and provide an escape for people from their problems and worries of real life. For two hours moviegoers trade in their reality for the fantasy presented on screen. In order to provide the best experience, movie makers have taken the entire experience of the movies to another level and it is unparalleled, with the invent of HD and IMAX, 3D and true to life imaging and graphics, one can almost become a part of the movie itself. It is no wonder that Orlando, the mecca for fantasy land, has two very equipped and perfectly located cineplexes--Pointe Orlando and Universal Cineplex located at Universal CityWalk. These two cineplexes are similar but provide a different experience.
Regal Pointe Orlando Stadium 20 and IMAX locate at 9101 International Drive, Orlando, this cineplex is accessible to the numerous tourists staying in the area. It provides a lot of show times, has 20 theaters for patrons, and an IMAX. The surrounding venues include BB Kings, Taverna Opa, Cuba Libre, Hooters, and various other locations on site, not to mention all of the restaurants on I-Drive. You can have a full night's worth of entertainment in one location.
However, AMC Lowes Universal Cineplex 20 with IMAX is also a great venue to go to the cinema. Located at 6000 Universal Blvd., Orlando, Universal Cineplex is located at Universal CityWalk, it too has 20 theaters and IMAX. Surrounded by the signature clubs and restaurants at CityWalk including Bob Marley's, Latin Quarters, Bubba Gumps, and so many more, Universal Cineplex provides patrons with the opportunity to have an all-in-one night on the town--dinner, dancing and a movie!!
When comparing the two locations, Universal Cineplex is closer to the center of Orlando, but Pointe Orlando is not much farther. Universal Cineplex at CityWalk offers a better club experience because the nightlife is geared towards dancing and makes a shift to have a vibrant dance nightlife. CityWalk offers the club hopper pass that allows people to have the entire nightlife experience for less than $20.00. Most venues surrounding Regal Pointe Orlando, however, do not charge an entry fee. In fact, most restaurants remain open and allow for dancing and entertainment at each venue with no cover for entry. BB Kings provides live blues sounds and Taverna Opa has belly-dancers on tables! The only true club as a surrounding venue at Pointe Orlando is probably Cuba Libre.
Nevertheless, both of these cineplexes receive a B as a grade because neither cineplex has everything, but they both definitely have something for everyone. Both locations will provide a night of entertainment, just consider what you want to do before and after the movie and that will likely determine which cineplex you will go to or it may simply depend on the movie. In either instance, you will be sure to have a good time!
