A good theater! The screen is massive and the picture has good sharpness and contrast. I'd recommend buying seats in the back quarter of the auditorium, otherwise the screen and sound can be overwhelming. Also, use the website to sign up for the free “Director’s Club” membership, since it’ll cancel out the $2 online booking fee and give 10% off for concessions. The seats are comfortable, but they’re not recliners and are packed close together. There’s also a decent selection of concessions (you can get significant discounts by bundling combos with the DC membership), and the popcorn is good. Overall, watching movies at the Esquire is a great experience, but there's some room for improvement.

Our visit to the IMAX theater was really nice, the condiments were good and fairly priced for a trip to the huge screen movies. The seating unfortunately wasn't the most comfortable they do slightly recline but the amount of spacing between seats and if someone has to leave to use the restroom in kinda cramped. Overall a great visit, parking isn't horrible but the parking location requires IMAX or public to be on the 5th floor and above but there is easy access to theater and elevator(stamp from theater only covers $5) for a 1hr 31 min movie it cost us $9 out of pocket for parking. Thank you for a wonderful visit and 1st time experience for my wife :-)

Comparing this IMAX to my normal IMAX at Delta Shores. Parking is not easy and will more than likely cost you money. Walked in 10 minutes early and there is an incredibly long line for concessions. We didn't wait. Seats aren't very comfortable, they have the ability to lean back but you have to actively lean the seat back with your legs the entire time. Otherwise rather upright and fairly stiff seats. The armrests were a joke, definitely not meant for two people. The screen was probably bigger but the sound was noticeably not as good, lacking that seat shaking bass. I hope Esquire reads this and learns that they definitely have an inferior product to Delta Shores IMAX.

Yup, just the one... it makes for very frustrating playing schedules (especially when 2 or 3 big movies are released really close together).

I agree with Anthony, they do validate your parking ticket however if I remember right it doesn't cover the entire parking cost but takes a good chunk off of it!

Will Dunkirk be coming to IMAX Sacramento?

Jay Tea | Dec 23, 2017
DAVE FOX | Dec 24, 2017

Dunkirk is at the IMAX downtown at the Esquire theater. I would guess that Dunkirk would not be coming to Delta Shores theater. I could be wrong, but the film has been out for some time and by January, or February, there may be new films that they would rather bring out that our first runs. It might even be too late for the Last Jedi to be showing their & IMAX. There's more chance for The Last Jedi to be shown there then Dunkirk,being the Star Wars film comes out in December.
