Watched The Devil Wears Prada and the whole experience was just great. Staff was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. The food and drinks were a highlight too -- I had the pear infused ginger mule which I highly recommend: well balanced, not too sweet, just right. We also got sweet potato fries and chicken nachos for sharing. The nacho portion was generous -- we couldn't finish it. IPic already sets a high bar for the movie theater experience, but this location clears it. Looking forward to many more movies here. Also, there is a parking lot across the street. Prices are already low but you can validate the ticket for up to 4 hours in the lobby of the theater. Free parking is a treat these days, especially if you drive from Manhattan.

A "spiritual successor" to the fabled Fabian theater of old (which sadly won't come back) 3 blocks…read moreaway now an empty shell, Fabian 8 is Paterson's foray into movie theaters, and in a special case, an independent movie theater away from the large corporations/chains we're all accustomed to, and a short drive away in neighboring towns. With 8 screens (hence the name), affordable pricing, and other musings, it's worth a visit, whether you're a native Patersonian or someone out of the area. It's located inside the Center City Mall, at the upper floor, across the hall from Planet 301, and close by to Center City Pizza. Outdoors, it captivates the decor and charms of an old theater (a style mimicking an old theater, and red neon display boards showing what movies are available), and plenty of movie promo billboards plastered across the mall. Inside, it's a charming little theater with most of the amenities you'd expect: ticket office near the entrance, a concession stand with most of the things popular in other theaters, small dining area, a video game room (I've never been, but it's good for private parties), and a good environment for children and families. After checking in with whatever movie you'd want to watch, you're then directed to the respective screen: 7 regular/conventional, one I believe is 3D. Seats inside are posh, somewhat comfy and reclining to good angles, but unlike the bigger chains, they're "not fluffy enough", and non-motorized recline to lounge. They also vouch your parking fees (up to four hours), with the purchase of a ticket, so keep that when you've parked underground. Overall, pricing is mostly affordable and at a good convenience for locals. There's two distinct pricing methods: standard/regular admission, and matinee showings (open-4PM), a special Tuesday pricing of 7$ for all tickets, and student discounts (assuming school is in session). As for concessions, unlike larger companies, Fabian 8 doesn't do combo meals or specials (ie food/popcorn + a drink for a lesser cost, but prices are not a deal breaker. Popcorn is plentiful, most familiar candy brands, and sodas/drinks are provided by PepsiCo (Pepsi/Mist Twist/Mountain Dew/etc), and food ranges from pizzas, to churros, to hamburgers (provided by White Castle) and pretzel bites. For children, there's a special value pack for them in the form of a popcorn bundle with a small drink in a collectible cup if available (or regular drink) with whatever movie is on special and gummy fruit snacks. There's also a butter dispenser nearby too. I've never been to their game room, but it seems to be a good distraction for those who want to have fun, with rentals and timed sessions to play consoles. There's also a loyalty program for those interested, to save money and get rewards. Personally I've been going in/out of Fabian 8 for nearly 6 years (from hanging out with friends, to doing class trips here when I went to high school, to solo shows), and it's been mixed at best, but not "exceptionally" done. Sure, when I was in Paterson it was a big convenience, but being exposed to better options elsewhere, it's hard to show interest. I thought the prices were fair, and it's sometimes a good place to relax when my options were limited. It's a bad thing to see staff sometimes reluctantly showing any enthusiasm to be there, and hanging out with their own friends during work hours, then again, attendance sometimes pales in comparison to captivate their attention. My last time going there was for the Grinch movie (3D version) on opening night, and pricing was fair for me and my guests (3 kids and 3 adults), snacks/concessions were decent but not spectacular (I've yet been impressed with movie food), and inside the theater at most wasn't at full capacity. Seats were fluffy but felt a bit rocky. Understandable I've went to a children's film, so I was unfettered by the noise of children and others in the audience. Left with a good note and some laughs, but I would've hoped things would be "better". To end this, Fabian 8 is Paterson's independent theater, and maybe the undisputed money maker for Center City Mall, which has been falling under hard times as of lately (a "dead mall"). If you've wanted to have movies w/o corporatism breathing down your neck, and smaller crowds, this might be a good stop. Free parking (w/ your ticket), good pricing, issues with staff, and lacking with charm other larger movie chains can easily dish out, its what's expected coming here. Maybe next time?

I was so excited that they were 15 minutes from my town! Parking was easy, 20 dollars later. A shuttle took us to the tent from there. That doesn't mean I didn't spend 15 minutes trying to find my car when the show was over. Typical me. The tent was actually very small, I think any seat would have a nice view. We got super lucky because there was no one sitting behind us so the people in front of us moved and we got a fantastic view of the show! It looked full but they had the option to upgrade seats for 10 bucks when we got there. As always, everything was nice and clean. All the workers were nice and helpful. We were shown right to our seats. Of course popcorn and drinks will cost you your left arm and your newborn child so we decided to skip that. It really was a fantastic show, really moving. Since the tent was small I felt like I was right in the front row. My favorite is always the acrobats. Makes me want to go to the gym and never eat a carb again, but here I am eating tacos and writing this review. I'll just stick to watching these magical humans do what they do.

The storyline is straightforward -- in the style of Edward Scissorhands -- with a dystopian future set and vibe -- but that's where the similarity ends. I won't play spoiler -- but omg -- the costuming, music, lighting, acrobatics and stunts are top shelf. Well worth the price of admission if you are a Cirque fan -- or even if you simply admire quality circus stunts wrapped into a 2 hour adventure -- set to excellent music, choreography and staging. Be prepared to spend some cash at the concession stands. Popcorn is $12 -- water another $5 -- drinks upwards of $25 for a double Moscow Mule -- and the souvenirs are astronomically priced. Basically -- they soak you like they would at any other circus. Top Tip: Come early for best parking options ($20 as you pull in) and try to buy seats in the first tier for best views. We were in section 103, row F -- about mid row -- and the view was perfect. If you catch an aisle seat you get to interact with the performers -- great for kids.
