about power passes

So, my husband loves movies. A lot. We have movies. A lot.

He claims to have been even more addicted to seeing and buying movies before I came along. I believe it.

He still is up on all movie knowledge and trivia on most days, and we of course still go see movies often. However, we aren't really movie theater goers, per se. We are IMAX movie goers.

Now, you may say, how do you afford such nonsense?

You probably don't say that. I know.

We go to the IMAX instead of the regular movie theater because we have these handy dandy things called Power Passes. We get them as a Christmas present every year (for the past four years that is) from the Bauers. Therefore, they are free to us ($45 in actuality). And they then give us the power (see what I did there?) to buy IMAX movie tickets for $5 each all year long. And that's just the feature films. Any IMAX documentaries are free. Plus, our Power Passes get us in the advance seating line.

So, for example, when we went to see Oz the Great and Powerful, we sauntered in about twenty minutes before the movie started. We paid $10 for our two tickets (which is the price of just one regular movie theater ticket). The general admission line was packed, but we walked up to the Power Pass line and only waited behind a handful of people. Then we watched Oz on a ginormous screen in 3D with great seats.

We. Love. Our. Power. Passes.

Of course, not all movies come to IMAX. But, let's just be honest: pretty much all the really good movies do. We subject ourselves to the ridiculous prices of the regular movie theater for Disney movies and not much else.

I don't know if any other IMAX theaters in the country have Power Passes. Raleigh might actually score some cool points for that.

So, if you live in or around Raleigh and like going to movies, the Power Pass from the IMAX at Marbles is totally worth it.

We saw Jurassic Park in 3D Monday night. So fun.
