Editorial Review for Big Picture – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The crown jewel of this boutique meeting space-cum-chi chi watering hole is a 10-by-20-foot digital movie screen. Equally suited to Monday Night Football and venture capital-snaring PowerPoint presentations, the 100-seat theater is flanked by a bevy of private rooms and a bar at the entrance. On weekends, the crowd is mostly moneyed overflow from the red-meat Mecca upstairs, who recline in the rooms resplendent with antiques or watch "The Matrix" while sipping cosmos.

I owe it to the general public to warn you of the worst movie venue in Seattle. Reason #1: Foolish seating arrangements. Reason #2: Incompetent management. Reason #3: Overpriced. Solution #1: Cinerama.
Pros: Drinks
Cons: Everything else

I recently bought tickets a week in advance to a show at the belltown location of Big Pictures. Although I arrived 20 minutes before the show, all of the seats in the seater were already taken. When I went to talk to the manager, he was completely unhelpful and inappropriate. Instead of figuring out how to address the issue that there were more people with tickets than seats available, he would not even acknowledge that the show was oversold. Instead he told us that he would bring additional folding chairs in as there were no theater seats available. He also said the show would not start until my party and I were seated. As it turned out, the movie started and my friends and I were left standing, waiting for our folding seats. At the end of the movie the general manager, was no where to be found. He made no effort to make our experience more comfortable. Besides the fact that us seating on the stairs of the theater while watching a movie was probably a fire hazard, I was completely disappointed with the level of service and care provided by the general manager.
Pros: 21 over establishment
Cons: worst customer service I have ever experience in a movie theater
