Local Movie Theaters
Movies are made to be seen on the big screen. In local movie theaters with plush lounge chairs and cocktail service. In an art deco palace with state-of-the-art sound and picture. In a faux-Egyptian temple, in a cinematic bazaar showcasing new release movies from around the world. Whether your tastes run to film noir, Japanese gangster flicks, 1970's Italian zombie films or Hollywood budget-busting 3-d movies, our Metro-convenient Los Angeles movie theatres will indulge you. Round out your cinematic voyage to L.A. with a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood to see how movies are (and were) made. A metro rail pass is an easy way to visit LA and her best movie theaters. If you need a cinematic appetizer, download one of our LA movies, and watch as you ride.

Expo Line
IMAX at California Science Center It's the largest movie screen in Los Angeles, seven stories of super high resolution and 44 speakers pulsating with digital surround sound. Because this IMAX is affiliated with the kid-friendly California Science Center, you won't see the latest Judd Apatow comedy gross-out in seventy foot, hi-def here. What you will see is polar bear moms escorting their cubs across drifting ice floes, the sand dunes of Arabia whipped up into giant sandstorms by Sirocco winds
It's about time that Culver City, once the home of MGM, United Artists, David O. Selznik Productions and Columbia Pictures, had a new movie theater complex.
