I don't like that the theater is one level and the seats are not elevated so you have many heads in front of you. Not heated seats but they do have a foot rest. The theater we were in last week (August 6 2026) to see spider man was considerably hotter than the rest of the mall/movie theater, we were sweating through the 2.5 hr movie it was crazy. We told the guy at the concession counter at the end but he smiled and said I'll take note, or something like that. The movie we saw before this one the screen had a line through the whole thing at the top which was kind of annoying. I don't feel like the picture quality is as good on any movie I have seen here. Unless they do some extensive remodeling (which I doubt they will do, they havent worked on this mall in decades) it is no doubt the lowest quality theater we have. We came here because the times were more conscience or we booked tickets too late and there were no seats at Century. There was also nobody standing at the entrance to see our tickets. On a Thursday night at 8pm? I havent seen anyone checking the last few times. I think that is odd. Maybe they assume people buy online so you have a guaranteed seat.

I rarely visit Century 16 and XD anymore, but we recently visited to watch the new "Wakanda…read moreForever," Thursday night premiere. Since a highly anticipated movie was premiering, the parking lot was packed like the good ole' days. It was refreshing to see. I remember when every cashier would have a long line in front of them, but thanks to Fandango those days are over. Scan your tix and keep it moving. The majority of the building looks original. The concession area is still kept relatively clean. Century 16 had signage that they no longer give free refills on the large size popcorn FYI. Prices are the same - expensive. It's the movies, you're paying for an experience. Our movie was showing in the XD theatre. I always prefer the spaced seating areas towards the middle, where you have space to breathe on either sides of you. The sound and picture were both crisp in this XD theatre. The recliner option on a lot of the seats are noticeably worn. I prefer Regal Dimond or Regal Tikahtnu when I'm willing to travel across the world, but Century 16 is great too.

Firstly, I wasn't sure there was a movie theatre this far out in the valley. Score!…read more My Gen-Z 12yr old, mentioned it looked old as soon as we entered the parking lot. Lol you know them! Valley Cinema shares a large parking lot with Walmart, and the Entertainment Fun Center. So...it IS old inside, but we were there to watch a horror film, who cares?! Staff were welcoming and efficient enough. We were there for a matinee showing and the cost of tix + concession food was noticeably low. I did wish they sold hot dogs. Most games in the arcade were non-working. Restaurant/cafe was closed. Lots of theatre rooms...all very old and worn (no leather recliners in sight) but the picture, sound, lighting all fine. I would return.

They have some earthquake related exhibits and a small giftshop area where you also buy tickets and snacks for the movies. There is also a banquet room and the theater can be rented out. I like going to the special events they do at night sometimes, like showing classic/cult movies and improv routines by groups like Urban Yeti.

But it's not even close to free anymore, if it ever was. We ended up buying a combination ticket (one of the two 30-minute shows plus the 15-minute show about th 1964 earthquake) for $11.95 each. That sounded pretty steep for 45 minutes of edutainment, but we figured that it was worth it to get some exposure to some of the Alaskan sights that we didn't get to see from our cruise excursions. But the quality of the films was mediocre. Of the two thirty-minute films, we chose the Journey to Alaska and Northern Lights Adventure double feature, but in retrospect we should have chosen Alaska Wild! since we were interested in animals. Our film played like a 15-minute infomercial for the Alaska Tourist Bureau (I swear, "Come to Alaska" was uttered at least a dozen times in various forms) followed by a 15-minute docu-mercial about/for some photographer who specializes in shooting the aurora borealis. Don't get me wrong--the footage in both films was beautiful; it's just that the narrative content was superficial and uninteresting. And kind of awkwardly commercial. I enjoyed the earthquake film better, although it is extremely dated. However, the content was interesting and I felt that they did the subject justice in the short time frame. A seismographer explained the physics of earthquakes and the geologic situation in south-central Alaska; several eyewitnesses related unique accounts of their experiences; and original footage and photography illustrated the terror and destruction of the event. The gimmick here is that the small grandstand lurches and shakes for half a minute or so during the show, to mimic the earthquake experience. It was fun, but it didn't add much, and I was kind of annoyed that the noise of the mechanism completely drowned out the film narration during that time. The earthquake-related displays that they have in the lobby help to flesh out the story of the event and are good for killing time until your show. The people are nice and they have a small snack/gift shop...but there are probably better and/or cheaper things to do with 45 minutes in Anchorage.

ANNIE AN ABSOLUTE FUN NIGHT!!!!…read more Last night I went to opening night for the musical ANNIE. There was so much laughter in the theater, along with pure enjoyment of the performance on stage. Opening night was full. The audience enjoyed every bit as did I. Sure it was community theater but much better than a night of TV or movie theater. Everyone who enjoys being entertained should make the effort to go. Not enough of Anchorage remembers what a gift we have in the PAC. It was built with oil money that rolled in during the late 80's. The PAC and the shows that are produced there are great gifts to our city. I cannot say enough about the young and experienced talent in this show. The artists that designed the sets used their talented skills to the highest level. They do so much with so little resources. The chorus talent was highly trained. They did not miss a beat. The amazing and talented Annie (a remarkable 13 year old) projected her voice right to us in the very back row. She led the production flawlessly while maintaining her A level grades. Please take the time and enjoy this show. You will get lost in the enjoyment of the play as time flies by and you emerge thoroughly relaxed, in a great mood and highly entertained.

I learned something. Something others should be made aware of…read more The Alaska performing arts has three separate theaters. If you're running late (like we were the last time) and you go in the main doors, you may find yourself being ushered in toward another set of doors adding to the already sinking feeling of being behind. A couple points to note: There are three theaters. The Sydney Laurence, the Atwood, and the Discovery theater. On several (but not all) doors there a list of what plays are where. The main doors lead to the Atwood. A side door around the side of the theater on 6th Avenue leads to the Laurence and Discovery theaters. Since I have now seen performances in all three theaters, I feel confident with all the remaining shows I plan to see. Just hope this helps everyone else.
