If you ever have a weekend to spend on an island local you should really consider Catalina for romantic getaway. found the spot on the top deck to watch the fireworks that were the most spectacular Ive seen in a long time. got a couple of drinks in me before 9 p.m. Shopping with somewhat expensive but to be expected on a holiday weekend I had no problem with it contributing to the Islanders made me feel really good. The tour of the island on the golf cart was fun.

The USC Trojans marching band was there to top it off the zip lining was absolutely phenomenal. Got off for the cruise ship landed on Catalina Island via shuttle everyone was so warm and welcoming the island was somewhat packed after the boat unloaded. Hi Ill start by describing it as an absolutely phenomenal July 4th birthday. Want to see the latest and greatest, then spend the money for the boat and head into Long Beach or Newport Beach and watch it there. My suggestion is to skip any large block buster or great action packed movie and only go there if they are playing a movie that you would like to watch at home. I asked my kids if they could see the bars and every one of them said yes.Īt one point one of our kids said theyd much rather watch a movie on our 75' screen with our inexpensive 5.1 surround sound system than continue to watch the movie at this theater. The screen had vertical bars that you can see very clearly on all bright scenes which resemble a bad wall paper job. Once in a while I was able to hear sounds from the side or behind but the system was so badly EQd and balanced that it was very difficult to hear let alone understand any dialog on the movie. The sound was horrible and lacked any type of bass or sub woofer sound.

It was so bad that we left while the movie was still playing and demanded a refund, which the manager reluctantly did (after we argued our case). Really feel sorry for the residents of Avalon who dont know what a good movie theatre really is.
