I moved away from the Dallas area in 1998, but I tend to still go see a movie there a couple of times per year, whenever I'm in town visiting family.
One good place is the UA Galaxy 9 (oops, I mean 10!) in Garland. However, it's probably not worth the trip if the film you want to see is not playing in one of the larger THX-certified auditoriums. Not necessarily one of the big monsters, but certainly not the super-small ones.
Presentation is usually quite good, although I did have one bad experience recently. I went to see "Gangs of New York" there on Christmas day 2002, and the film had a lot of base side scratches. It also looked as though all the janitors had the day off — the entire building was filthy.
Prior good experiences included seeing "Signs" earlier that year in one of the two "giant screen" auditoriums and being amazed at how good the sound was. It was also impressive seeing that huge screen actually lit to proper brightness from a thumbnail sized piece of film. I remember seeing "Star Wars Episode I" there years earlier and thinking it was a little too dim.
Moviegoing in Dallas will never be the same as when Northpark was still operating. It makes me sad sometimes when I open the Dallas paper's movie section and see it no longer listed. (I also miss seeing 70mm logos next to my old favorite theaters, but that's nobody's fault but Hollywood's.) [ 04-21-2003, 02:54 PM: Message edited by: Aaron Haney ]
