Price

Pros:

  • "2D tickets are cheaper here than at AMC or IPIC so that's a plus."
  • "I'm sure I'll be back as ticket prices here are $1-$2 less that the other places."

Cons:

  • "$ 20.00 to see a movie now is absurd with AMC and the Regal chains."
  • "Expensive for a movie!!"
  • "Went before noon on a weekday and paid $17.50 - they don't have matinee prices!"
  • "I paid 60 dollars for a child adult and senior ticket and was told it was because the movie was popular although the theater was less than half full."

Seating

Pros:

  • "Large comfortable chairs with ample leg room."
  • "Good spacing between each chair."
  • "The seats are big and comfortable."
  • "I love the Seating very spacious."

Cons:

  • "Seats could more comfortable - they just recline a bit."
  • "The seats are a tight fit and there is no reclining or putting the arm rests up; like other movie theatres."
  • "The seats were just... unreal. They're at an 80° angle, so you're in a hunchback."
  • "The “reclining” seats go back maybe 3 inches and don’t stay back, you have to hold your feet on the ground and press back for them to stay reclined."
  • "The seats don’t recline they are lying it was like being on a spirit airlines flight."
  • "The seats don’t lay down like AMC’s."
  • "However, the seats are pretty uncomfortable, and it is hard to view the entire screen if seated in one of the first few rows."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "The staff was absolutely darling - from Solon at the cashier desk, to Elizabeth the ticket taker, to Linda in concessions, even Aaron in the kitchen making the pretzel bites."
  • "Friendly Staff offering consistently excellent service."
  • "The staff I interacted with on my way in was very nice."

  • "The staff was pleasant the snacks were good, the movie was good too."

Cons:

  • "Never left a google review before but had a pretty awful experience watching a movie in a theater with no AC leading to super humid and musty air."
  • "One of the worst movie theaters I’ve been to. The staff is extremely rude and not accommodating."
  • "The ticket attendant continued to rudely insist that it had to be thrown away."
  • "They are cheating customers. They charged our card twice for a movie."
  • "The service is slow, the cashiers are rude and untrained, and the theater smells."
  • "Customer service is terrible."
