I don't think any of these theaters offers enough of a superior viewing experience to justify the obscene expense for a ticket, soft drink and snack. Therefore, unless the movie requires viewing on a huge screen, my home theater is a better choice. However, if I want to see a movie that 'must' be seen in a theater (e.g., "The Dark Knight Rises" IMAX), the AMC Rockaway 16 puts all of these others to shame; and, is worth driving the extra distance. Incredibly comfortable stadium seating, huge screens, cutting edge projectors and sound systems. Mountainside is the only one of your choices that is comparable; but, it falls far short of the AMC 16 Rockaway.
