This place has been remodeled and improved a lot. Full bar, better food choices, etc., but this place has a way to go. On Thursday, March 23, 2023, I went to the 5:15 pm showing of The Lost King. This was the first movie I have attended since COVID began in 2020. Upon entry, I was surprised that there are no longer humans to purchase a ticket from, only machines. That is a clunky process and there were no antiseptic wipes to clean the rather gross greasy screen. But the price of $10.95 was reasonable. I entered and washed my hands. Then ordered popcorn, a soda and because it was dinnertime, a meat lovers pizza. The concession worker told me the pizza would take about 15 minutes. The movie was in theatre 1. It was clean and had reclining and annoyingly heated seats (took a while to figure out how to turn off the heat, but by then I was really uncomfortable). 5:15 p.m. came and went. No previews, no advertisements, no movie trivia. At 5:30 p.m. I went out of the theatre and asked a worker why the movie had not started. They did not seem to know but said they'd check. At about 5:40 p.m., the movie finally started with the initial opening credits. No transition at all, just 'bang' it was playing. It was rather odd. More annoying was the house lights in the theatre never dimmed, for the entire movie! Sadly, I wear glasses. The light over my seat glared off my glasses the entire movie so it was like I was watching through a haze. When I take the glasses off I cannot see the screen much, so that was not an option. Assigned seats, so moving is also not an option. I had asked the pizza delivery person if they could check to see why the lights had not dimmed. The reply was "I have noticed that this theatre never dims!" and they walked away. Wow! Zero interest in telling anyone or fixing it! They could not have been more uninterested! Regrettably, by the end of the film I had a migraine headache from the glare. Additionally, the volume could have been increased by about 10% or so. There were scenes that were so soft, I could not hear what the characters were saying, and I certainly could not hear over my popcorn crunching. The 15-minute pizza actually took about 35 minutes. It was okay, not great, just okay. Had about 10 ounces of bread, an okay amount of cheese, and the 'meat' was really skimpy - but that's pretty much what I expected from a movie theatre pizza. The movie was pretty good, had some laughs, good acting, and it was interesting to learn more about the search for King Richard III. Overall, three stars because the price was OK and I did get to see the movie I paid for, but the rest of the experience was a bit sub-par. It will be a long while before I go back. In fairness, I did mention all this to the ticket taker on my way out, and she did offer to give me a free ticket, but I am not looking for freebies. I'd simply prefer that they fix the issues, especially the lights, so the experience is elevated for everyone. I did not have the feeling that anything would change and I did not accept the movie coupon. Like I said, it will be a long while before I go back. read more
