We found parking on the street, though the large parking garage supports validation from the theater. Like many theaters, tickets were discounted for Tuesday and our friend picked up the tab for the four of us. All the seats were reclining loungers, with newly installed gliding tables to allow easy snacking (popcorn ($8.19 for Large), Dip'n'dots ice cream, drink, and chocolates were all bought, treated by my mother-in-law). Sound and visuals were excellent, seats and temperature were really comfortable, and the 2+ hours flew by. It was a nice ending to a good day, seeing a really great movie with family and friends.

Once we know what we wanted, we walked up to the counter where we were greeted. Ordered a Michelob Ultra and specialized drink called Hail Mary, in reference to the movie with Ryan Gosling. Our drinks were served in a a few minutes. The bartender made it to perfection. Cold and refreshing. I am going to do this more often. The prices are not bad at all. Its like going to a regular bar like hooters. I always assumed the prices were going to be outrages like Disneyland. I was wrong all this time. Affordable drinks and they were delicous. Definitely come back.

Since I'd pre-bought my tickets on Fandango, all I had to do was check which auditorium I was in, have the QR code scanned, and take my seat. The associates were friendly and made finding my way easy. I've only been in auditoriums 5 and 6, and both are very spacious - even fully reclined, there's at least 2 feet in front, making it easy for others to navigate to their seats. Something interesting about the layout is that instead of an incline like many places, i.e. going up as you head to the back of the theater, these are mostly level. The handicap seats are actually in the rear instead of the front. Surround sound is excellent and truly made the viewings feel immersive. If I had to nitpick, the first showing I attended I could briefly hear the vacuum next door. They also seem to keep the temperature moderately warm, which I actually don't mind since I get cold easily, but dress accordingly if you run hot! Ladies' restroom is to the left and men's restrooms are to the right for auditoriums 5 and 6.

Friday the 13th found us sitting on graves while watching Rocky Horror on a large inflated screen while the Long Beach Art Theatre cast performed along with movie. Yes, there was literally dancing on graves going on here. The gravestones were interesting to read while we waited for the performance to start. Most of them were from a hundred years ago! The doors opened at 6:30 and the performance and movie started at 9, giving the audience time to enjoy a picnic or visit the food trucks parked in the graveyard. (Now that's a phrase I never thought I would write.) Four food trucks were there next to the port-a-potties. I didn't see anything saying that you could or couldn't bring alcohol, but a lot of people had alcohol out in the open, so I guess it's okay. Our neighbors even popped a bottle of champagne. Some tips for movie night: Come early if you want good parking. Late comers have to park across the street. Drive a small car if you can. The graveyard driveway is pretty narrow. It got pretty chilly in the later hours, so I suggest bringing jackets/blankets. Bring a low back chair,as taller chairs need to go to the back or side. Future films include: June 27: Pink Floyd The Wall July 11: Pulp Fiction July 25: Psycho August 8: Fight Club August 22: Donnie Darko September 5: The Shining Thanks to Yelp OC for the tickets!

And they declared it a sing along. You could hear sod singing during the songs, which was good since it didn't drown out the actual songs. My one complaint is that they need a better sound system. The DJ who played ahead of the movies had a much better sound system. It was hard to hear at first and then got slightly better. But such great songs need to be played at full volume.

There is also face painting for kids and local sponsors Port of Long Beach and LBS Financial. You can go to their website for movies that will be showing throughout the summer.

They know what they are, a value driven theatre that's run by real people with outdated but not dirty bathrooms. The most expensive tickets are $13 w/out service fee and value days are $5 for ALL movies without having to pay a membership fee (cough AMC). The concessions aren't ridiculously overpriced, theatres are clean but not spotless, they have some stadium seating theatres, they have FREE flavored popcorn seasoning, and they invest in Americas future by hiring high schoolers during a time when those types of jobs are being replaced by tech. Also, the "previews" aren't 20 minutes long like the other theaters. If you're looking for a place to impress your first date, don't take them here.
