In December 2009, Repretel (owners of Channel 6 and 11 - Repretel.com) opened:
For MY taste and body, the Nova Cinemas is BY FAR THE BEST movie theater in Costa Rica!!! #1 because of the VIP Theatre (more on that later) but #2 - because ALL their seats are some of the MOST COMFORTABLE CHAIRS I've found in a movie theatre in Costa Rica!!
(WHAT THE HECK IS AN IMAX SCREEN??:
