Cinemark San Antonio 16 - Reclining chair.

I went there to see a Wuthering Heights matinee this past Sunday afternoon. I sat towards the back…read morein the handicap row so that I could park my rollator walker next to me. I specifically chose this theater for the "luxury reclining seats" but my seat wouldn't recline. I moved one seat over and that one wouldn't recline either. Thank goodness barely anyone was in the theater, because I had to move several seats over to find a recliner that worked. I sat there very comfortably for about an hour and a half and then went to use the restroom. Went back to my seat and it also wouldn't recline! I can't sit with my feet down for very long without experiencing increased pain, which is why I chose this theater. The rest of my time there was positive, but I'm concerned about returning because of the issue with the seats not being able to recline. I'm worried that I'd return to a full theater and not be able to elevate my legs and feet in the future. Small theater, so I didn't have to walk very far to get to my seat or the restroom. The employees are very nice and helpful. I only had a smart water so I can't remark on the snacks.

I remember when this was a dollar theater back in the day. I saw Oliver Stone's "The Doors" and I…read morebelieve Scorsese's, " Goodfellas" in a double feature. I also hearken back to that time when I saw the person carrying a backpack with 5 kids. It was for a deliberate reason. Enter the sounds of snuck in sodas and snacks. It was dingy but admission to get in was cheap. Now theaters have become visual representions of our homes. Reclining chairs, table side service and designer foods. The whole point of going to movies was to surrender to the movie. But now that time has passed. Even though this place has re-opened and still maintains its former glory, it is no match for the litany of mega-theaters and burgeoning streaming services. Maybe my review is to opine as in nostalgia but that is not such a bad thing. Plus I can't do the bigger theaters where everything is on the other side of the world. Firstly tickets are really, really cheap. If you don't mind 30 minutes of trailers, the compromise is subtle. In addition I really see no major difference in sound and film quality versus the major outlets. Although with praise there must be critique. One major thing patrons will not agree with are the concession's pricing. Popcorn is outrageous. Beverages are going to put a hurting to your wallet. And an almost seemingly 10$ dollar Icee? With no accompanying refills? Simple solution, join their membership loyalty club for a monthly fee of $10 bucks. It really saves you money. I must mention a caveat. The crowd can be interesting. I one time saw a dude dressed like a wizard. And a couple next to us were discussing their men troubles. Almost throughout the whole movie. I suppose living four years apart and now reacquainting ourselves to sitting together is still problematic. I must say I do like this theater despite all forementioned things. It is not pretending to be anything other than what it is. They offer premium films at inexpensive prices. Concession prices leave little to be desired. But again my theater hack is to sneak in a bag of Sour Patch Kids and wait for the loud "Fast and Furious MCIIIV" trailers to pop open drinks. I mean it's not the Alamo Drafthouse but I don't think that's a bad thing either. ps. I wish my partner would stop selecting horror movies when we go! I miss my arthouse films.

I prefer the Enterprise Regal, the Avis AMC, the Hertz 3D, and the Budget Dollar Theatre. But this…read morewill do. Located right in the heart of downtown San Antonio, close to all of the great tourist attractions and the Riverwalk, you'll find a whole host of big chain stores, and also the school theatre (voice dictation again... I meant to say "this cool theatre") which shows all kinds of stuff, including tourist type stuff. It's pretty run down and has been here forever, and it seems like it needs renovating in some ways more than others. But overall it's a really cool addition to downtown, and if you're not looking for something brand-new shiny-smelling-good and state-of-the-art then you'll be fine here.

Theee stars for the venue as it has gotten super dated over the years and the chairs are narrow…read moreand uncomfortable and the flavored popcorn (one size only) is $8! Ouch. FIVE for the Yelp Elite screening of WAKANDA FOREVER!! Well done and THANK YOU! What a lovely tribute this film was to the actor and late Chadwick Boseman who passed from colon cancer at the too young age of 44. This film made me cry. It was great and yeah, there were ton 'o graphics, animations, etc but folks it's a MARVEL COMICS film so back off. I SHOULD have taken a photo of all the overflowing trash post movie. Hey IMAX folks, when you have a filled theater, make preparations for more receptacles and make your workers lives easier as well. That is all.

I gave four stars because there is always room for improvement. I needed to be shown how to order…read moremy ticket at the kiosk. A young lady showed me that, how to choose my seat and buy food. She then showed me where to put my card in to pay. After all o f that she explains how I would know my food was ready and showed me where to pick it up. When I found my seat there was a young girl sitting in it. She was there with her family. I did not ask her to move because the theater was not crowded. There were four or five children in their party one being a baby. They were so good and quiet during the movie! It was a wonderful experience and I feel confident going alone again

This was so last minute as a means to pass the time while getting my car serviced at Discount Tires…read moreacross the way. I went to the first showing of the day, the movie began at 11:15am. I'd just eaten breakfast so I didn't order any food. Upon entering the theater, there was no window to purchase a ticket, I had to use the kiosk but I didn't have my wallet or my physical debit card so I had to purchase my ticket online. I ended up using Fandango, which included a $2.19 convenience fee. I was able to print the physical ticket on the kiosk and the attendant at the snack counter checked it and told me where my theater was. I was the only one in the theater. I sat dead center on the top row. The seat featured a side table, a cup holder and it reclined. A nice theater, the restroom was clean but the pipes were noisy.
