The Alamo's franchise location at Lake Creek continues to try hard to please. When I saw that their web site's ticket purchasing software by Ready Theater Systems (for which they continue to charge us $1 per ticket to use) was not working, I called their box office, and they were delighted to take my credit card information over the phone and put my tickets into Will Call. Win-win for both of us, since I didn't pay $2 in fees for two tickets, and they still got to sell tickets ahead of time.Genre favorite District 9 was a hit at this cinema, its formerly-THX-certified acoustics helping a lot versus the Alamo's Village location. Despite the movie seeming to be really loud, the room did not interfere with the intelligibility or clarity. The picture was fine, pretty sharp edges with nothing major projected off the edges. I was concerned that the movie was loud... at first I was certain that the staff must have turned up the sound level beyond cinematic standard. Eventually I got used to the volume level and it seemed fine. I've never had that reaction before at an Alamo. (usually it's a bad Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich film at the
Gateway that's simply too loud)Also, these guys know how to pour a Guinness! No inch-thick foamy head to contend with. Check out the picture expertly taken by my wife -
