User Reviews for Metreon

With a beautiful grassy park out back, Sony Style store inside, and more than a few decent restaurants, the Metreon has been a favorite since I moved here. I really dig walking through the place. It's clean, the theater is nice, and the place has a very positive vibe. I love coming here.

If you're looking to do some serious shopping, this place isnt it. It's more of a place to check out SONY items (afterall it IS called Sony Metreon). You can go from Tv's to video games, walkmans, stereo systems, laptops, etc. It's an attraction to see if you're in San Francisco, but don't expect too much, there isn't really anything "too" great about it. More of a video game center for kids! The theatre however is NICE!

Pros: GREAT theatre, a lot of video games

Sure, it's basically a mall dressed up as a high-tech entertianment center, but you gotta admit that the sound system and seating at the movie theater is pretty sweet. I love it when they decide to show regular movies at the Imax theater. I once saw "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" here which made the experience of seeing this amazing film even better. But aside from the movie theater, the food court is way too expensive, and the arcade only has a handful of games. They need to bring in a larger variety of games. My only other favorite thing to do? Browse through the amazingly expensive Sony store, and check out the latest games in the Playstation center.

Pros: Great sound system

Cons: expensive

Touted as a futuristic urban entertainment center, this is really nothing more than a suburban multiplex slapped down in the middle of a city that prides itself on beauty and architecture. In other words, it's an eye sore, an expensive eye sore. Tickets for movies here are more expensive than anywhere else in the Bay Area.

Pros: Location

Cons: Prices, Architecture, Aesthetics

Editor's Review

This futuristic emporium is millennia ahead of its time.  See the full editorial review.
