It definitely needs an update

Ticket prices will probably increase in order to pay for these updates.

Reclining leather seats? Totally unnecessary. Moreover, if these seats recline like airplane seats, and if someone reclines their seat, said seat(s) will be a nuisance to those seated behind them.

Why does everything in construction have to be luxury-oriented? Is luxury construction all that banks will finance?

Going forward, I will probably go elsewhere to see foreign and independent films.

There are reclining seats at the Shoreline 16. Plenty of room in front and behind.

I'm glad to see this happening. Yes, it may mean slightly higher ticket prices, but it's nice to see Landmark keeping the theatre in downtown Palo Alto and investing in it, rather than letting it languish and eventually shutting it down. Downtown Palo Alto would be a less interesting place without the Aquarius.
