This past Summer I went to this theater not once but TWICE!
I say it like that bc in the time that it's been open...I had never gone. Always went to the village.
Went to see Jurassic World and Superman here. Loved both movies. Love the theater.
For some reason I thought it would be bigger tho..or at least the lobby. I know, random lol, but I was surprised to see how small the lobby area is compared to other theaters. The theater itself is kinda small. Still, a great place to see a movie.
We went for the matinee for both...to avoid crowds. Thank God for that bc each time we were leaving, place was packed on our way out. That made super happy to see....to see people still going to movie theaters despite what people say online and elsewhere.
As a 90s kid when movie theaters were life! Haha especially 90s kids who grew up in a small city where we didn't have much to do...the movies being one of the biggest things to do...
Point is lol, there's nothing better than seeing a movie like Jurassic World or Superman in theaters. Hell, any movie really.
I hope theaters are around forever.
So when you go to a movie now and see it busy like this place was...even during the matinee, it's nice.
Then theater itself is suuuuuper clean! There was a mess up front where people spill shit and don't bother to clean it up, but that's to be expected?! People can be selfish and not even tell staff.
Aside from that, it's impressive to see how spotless this place is.
And at the very end of the movie, the staff floods into the theater to clean up. I know they do that everywhere, but there were like 10 of them when we were trying to watch the extra ending to Superman....which we felt weird with them all waiting on us...so we bounced and boooo didn't see the extra ending lol. No biggie. They were super nice about it.
Prices are what you'd expect. Cheaper than the village, but comparable to most. That's the only complaint I'd have. Prices for theaters have jumped dramatically! Like ... dramatically! I get why they increased their prices, but ooof! That with buying a drink or whatever...shit is definitely pricey.
The Coke pic I posted...medium was like ... $6! SIX. DOLLARS!!
Chyle! That's a no from me hahaha!
They have super comfortable "luxury" recliners. That's pretty awesome. Most theaters are doing this, I think? I dunno. Either way, it definitely makes watching the movie better.
Still better than watching at home. Streaming is great and all, but ugh it's ruined so much.
The staff is super friendly. Kinda shy a lot of them but they were nice. That of course always helps bc in so many (most) retail type stores/places the employees are so detached and want nothing to do with the people they're supposed to be helping lol...the people they applied to work for/with haha!
So yeah, it's nice to see a friendly staff.
This may have been just my first and second time here. I'll definitely be back. (Probably thought I'd say "but it won't be my last!" That would have been so corny tho hahaha)
It's a great theater. I know most have already been but if you haven't...it's definitely worth it.
Oh and the Art Deco-y atmosphere is super cool!
Absolutely love that.
Thanks, YelperMovIeGoerrrs!
