It's a pretty cool concept and a nice change from a traditional movie theater. One thing that surprised me was that it was actually a little more covered than I expected. Based on the name, I thought it would be more open air and exposed to the elements, but the setup was cozier and more sheltered than I anticipated. They have a selection of snacks and beverages available, which was nice, although I do wish they were able to sell alcohol. A beer or glass of wine would have been a great addition to the experience. Overall, it was a unique and enjoyable night out. The atmosphere was great, the movie selection was fun, and I'd definitely go back for another showing.

I have been here multiple times now and it is always a fun experience! Honestly, the only complaint…read moreI have is that the popcorn is stale and food is mehh. Tickets are on the pricier side, but this is more of a treat than a normal theater, so I'm okay with it. Headphones do a great job of blocking the sound out. They are large on me, so I always have to get the kid's headphones, which still work just as great. It really is a great view and location within downtown. I like that they have a set parking price while you're at the movie, but $11 is pretty steep when you're paying $25 per ticket.

I haven't been to an UltraStar Cinema in years, I didn't realize we still had one in San Diego…read more This location was one of the few spots showing Never Stop Chasing so we had to come just to see this. You can see the theater has aged, and well loved. Pricing for concessions and tickets were not bad at all even with the fees. I also heard the staff explaining how busy it can get during their 50% off ticket and popcorn days, which is a deal if you don't mind the crowds. Seats have definitely seen better days, but I do like how high the backing is and for someone short like me, there were no issues of being able to see the screen even if someone tall was in front of me.

I saw The Odyssey today in theater 5 at 3pm. The leather seats were very comfortable and the sound…read moresystem was good. Most importantly, the air conditioning was working really well and the theater was clean. It was easy to purchase tickets online although the $3 convenience fee was a bummer. All staff members I interacted with were friendly. The concessions seemed reasonably priced as well & they have happy hour every day. I didn't try anything though & just brought my water bottle inside. We parked in the free underground lot & it was easy to walk over to the cinema. There were plenty of dated yet functional bathrooms inside. This is a good movie theater to see your next film. Peace.

On a Sunday afternoon, it was $3 per person. For frequent shoppers and vendors, I think they have stamp cards, which is neat. We had to speed run this trip because we had plans later on in the day, but we saw there was a swap meet across the street from the Brazilian restaurant that we were getting brunch at and nothing prepared us for how MASSIVE it is. I grew up going to swap meets, with one down the street for me, but this is hands down the BIGGEST one that I've been to. So big that my friends and I got split up immediately and it was somewhat difficult to find each other and leave towards the end since there's just rows and rows and aisles and aisles each and which way you turn with some dead ends here and there. There's food vendors and of course, lots of trinket, electronics, thrifted, home goods, and so much more. There's plants, fresh fruit, nuts, a neat little accordion (not sure what it's called but it's antique looking and little mechanical bits and pieces to it) that a performer had, jewelry, toys, video games, unique artwork, school supplies, clothes, etc. Before entering, we saw a vendor selling 6 pieces of clothing for $10. Friend got a bunch of accessories and jewelry for under $20. I got a cool 2 headed T-rex for $2. Some cool things were vintage Beanie Babies and the Panda Express restaurant signs? I would love to come back here and thoroughly parse through everything. Get there early in the morning and then spend hours here.

When you take a look at the stage and the wide look of the seats you can imagine the many people when they came to theater the sounds of the orchestra that would welcome the many theater goers with the performers would greet so many. When you think back to the years of the 1940s you look back to the black and white films to when the many films and the stage would have a stage announcer, he would be the one that would get the audience the announcements and with the music to start the evening. The tuxedos and the dresses which were some of the dressy wears with the night of entertainment. With the many productions that have been performed at the Starlight Bowl Theater from the modern performers that have done large concerts and the grades of music from the first orchestras which were the many schools that were performing in front of the many crowds. With the many museums that had opened at Bal Boa Park the coming of the Panama Canal Exposition which was the greatest thing that gave the city of San Diego and the performing arts theater with the Introduction of the many new flavors. With my visit to Balboa Park, it was one of the best to see the places which had the performing arts area that gave the Starlight Bowl Theater its name and the power that it shared with the park. The years you see in the theater and the with the many colors of theater and the way the way it was first opened the sounds of the music you can still hear from the Starlight Bowl they have playing and the sounds of the 1930s and the 1940s. When you walk about the many areas near theater you can still see and feel what the age of Bal Boa Park and the Starlight Bowl the many musical and the first actors that would come to the Starlight Bowl and the Orchestras that made the 1930s up until now you may see there is so much history with the Spreckles and the Bal Boa Theater which are connected to the performing arts. Being a Yelp Elite Reviewer when I saw the Starlight Bowl was closed it was like killing the music of San Diego the history and with the sounds of great music and the age of the Broadway Shows have made the Hollywood. Films and the first black and white films the many years from the first age of films and the many years of the Orchestras first performed here. The Starlight Bowl is one place that has so much energy and the magic which is still there to restart the Starlight Bowl to give a great taste of the yesteryears to show San Diego what the original films and the Broadway Shows. Starlight Bowl still has the power and the feel to bring back the crowds to shine under the stars of San Diego.

I went to the 1230 showing and Tuesday and Wednesday so I think it's half price in any case. I also got a senior discount added to the already Tuesday discount and I only paid $8.89 for my ticket. Not bad for three hours of air conditioning plus epic movie. I wasn't sure if I would like the movie since it is so long, but it completely held my attention, especially when I got to see the Greek mythology portions that I remember from reading in my seventh grade social studies classes. Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway did great jobs as Odysseus and Penelope and I thought the cast was very good. There were quite a few people in the theater and the ticket. People were friendly and helpful and the bathroom was nice and clean. Plenty of parking during the day during the week. Come to fashion Valley on their discount Tuesdays and Wednesdays and enjoy a good movie, especially in this extreme summer heat.

I was in San Diego for the weekend and of course I can never pass up going to AMC theater. This…read morewas one was located in Fashion Valley Mall. I was interested in this one because I heard it has rocking chairs. I really love the vibe of this AMC. It's vintage and very beach theme. I don't think I've ever been to AMC that's themed, so that was cool. I didn't get any food so I can't say anything about that but the theater we walked into was a bit old, which is OK. It's also bigger than I expected. It even had a downstairs area. The rocking chairs were also OK, not my favorite. We were seated right behind a guard rail, and I think that's the only way to enjoy the rocking chairs AMC. My favorite thing about this place was the restroom. I appreciated how big and clean the restrooms were. I especially loved that they offer free tampons and pads!

We saw "Heart of the Beast" today in theater 17…read more We arrived at about 2:45pm & went to our seats G6, G5, G4 & G3. My seat G4 did not recline so we asked for assistance, and an employee checked out the chair. He pulled it out from the wall & flipped it over & wow, there was so much popcorn & debris behind the chair. Yikes! Anyway, he fiddled with it & flipped it back over & it reclined. Yay! But then my friend who was supposed to sit in G3 canceled last minute. I purchased the tickets for everyone so I went to the guest services desk to explain the situation, and Robert kindly processed a refund for that ticket without an issue. Very much appreciated! The employee scanning tickets at the entrance was also very nice. The 3:15 pm movie started at 3:43pm after 7 previews and a few commercials. When the movie began, the picture quality & sound were great. We enjoyed the film and we would come back to this theater. I just won't think about what is behind the seats! There are alcoholic drinks available at MacGuffins & the usual concessions are on offer at the concessions stand. They also have several of those soda machines with the touch screens where you can choose from hundreds of different soft drinks! We didn't purchased any treats this time because we'd just eaten at Shake Shack down the street, but the prices seemed reasonable. There's plenty of parking in the underground lot & the bathrooms, while still dated, were clean and functional. In my previous review, I mentioned the renovations happening in the mall. Well, they're done & the mall looks great. There's new beautiful flooring, lots of colorful & aesthetic planters, a grassy area for kids to play & folks to rest and lots of interesting businesses. In fact, there's a Kura Revolving Sushi across from the theater! So what are you waiting for? Time for sushi & a movie! :) Peace.

We chose row P because that would be a great spot if it was truly IMAX. Now we are going to go to LA to see the Odyssey the way it was intended. Thanks for lying to us AMC.

The turnout crowd was really big, both the front picnic blanket patron area and the back chair patron area were full by 6:00pm. Fun Flicks arrived at Liberty Station two hours late. At approximately 8:30pm, the truck pulled up, but the giant inflatable screen, video and audio systems took another thirty minutes to troubleshoot because of a loss of power and audio feed. The inflatable screen deflated/inflated three times before the movie started. By 9:00pm the screen was up, the video and audio were working, but half of the families and kids in both the picnic blanket area and the chair area packed up and left. The kids' time was over, it was getting cold, they had to go to bed. The screen deflated/inflated again, during Act I. Later, the audio cutout during Act II, and the video froze a minute after. That was it, I was not a fan at that point, I called it quits, packed up and left sad and disappointed. My faith in the Force was lost. The opportunity cost loss was pretty big. The Comickaze guys were out almost $2000 for this setup, but they apologized to the remaining crowd and offered discounts on their shops' comic books. The audience will blame Comickaze, they don't know who Fun Flicks is. Fun Flicks apologized and scheduled a makeup-date. This event needs improvement. Liberty Station power requirements, temperature and moisture considerations, and no technical support all played a hand. Recommend performing a dry-run a few days in advance at Liberty Station to figure out power, video and audio problems.

On this night, "Brave" was the featured film. Movies start at sundown, but the county was wise enough to provide hoola hoops for the kids to play with while waiting for the show to begin. We arrived about 20 minutes before the show started and had no problem parking or finding a nice spot to put down our blankets. It was such a great experience seeing all of the families enjoying a sunset picnic and kids running around on the grass and snuggling with their parents. Here are some tips for having the best time possible; * Dress warm - Think sweats and beanies. It gets a little cold on the ground once the sun goes down, even in San Diego. Some smaller kids had on snuggly pajamas which is fine too, unless you have the kind of kid who is going to be doing a lot of playing and running around before the show. * Bring beach chairs and or blankets. Make sure to have warm blankets to cover up with too. Some people left early because they were cold. * Don't forget the hot snacks! Think a thermos of hot chocolate, warm apple cider or other warm drinks. Some people picked up burritos on the way, some brought pizza and sandwiches. Everyone with hot steaming food was the envy of their neighbors. * Bring a couple of toys. Kids were playing with balls and bug catchers prior to the show. Josie hoola hooped, but I kind of wished I brought her ponies so she could have had something to offer to her new friends. We only got about half way through the movie, since Josie started falling asleep around 9pm. Luckily, we were near the side, so it was easy to make a smooth exit without walking in front of anyone. I would definitely advise that if you think you might have to make a quick getaway too! However, since it is all families, I'm pretty sure even if you were in the middle, everyone would understand.

The last play I saw was Viet Gone, and the first play since COVID was The Great Khan which I got a pleasure to attend. If you enjoy performing arts, come and see it for yourself. I wish I could take some shots during the performance, but it was strictly prohibited. The facility was designed very unique, you get to walk down and even further deeper down to reach the main stage, yet everything else got pretty well maintained except for the construction next door right now, I really don't know what they're going to do with the old Horton Plaza, although it was dearly missed. Parking was easy, some meters are expired after 6 PM, if you don't mind walking a few blocks like me, some expired at 8 PM, then you might have to put in a few bucks, but that's downtown for you, I think everyone else would rather pay valet and enjoy their sit down during the show, am I right?

Also, I ordered online, the gratuity tip was automated $8.00 which I don't feel was deserved. I did Love the Gentleman wishing me a 'Goodnight', in the end. It does make a Difference.

I Still had a 10/10 TIME w the Movie I watched, and Overall Enjoyed myself, AGAIN! *Happy dance.

It was Perfect in Every way. No Complaints. The Crunch is Sharp + Pierces your ears and those around you. You can tell they Perfectly drained it and let it sit out, as it was oil-free. And, the Parmesan Added a Richness to Tie it All Together. Last time I had the salmon, brussels and mash. (I could make this dish at Home-but it was my Birthday.) It was very Good. Brussels were thoroughly cooked... & easy to bite into, your teeth goes through the vegetables without Resistance. Everything on my plate was Soft + Tender. Note: The movie doesn't Start on the dot. They play a Few other films Prior (incase you're Running Late). *If you don't like your Seat, Any Seats Left Open AFTER the Movie Starts you can Steal. *When choosing your seat online, make sure that it's not Upfront near the Screen... like I Did. It gave me some Anxiety being that Close to the Screen.

I Do Like it when they check your Tickets, (Makes it more Professional. They didn't this Time + you were able to just walk in.) Having Employees Posted out Front makes it more Professional, Elite, Private and Structured. There was no white glove service, (this time) aside from my partially Attentive Server. Last Time, I was Greeted by the tenant at the Concession Stand. And, my ticket was checked. But, overall it is a Luxurious Experience. The Theatre Reminds me of: MTV Cribs where the Pop Stars had their own Movie Theatre in their Home. ;) So, Across the Front Entrance, is a Lounge area-Restaurant + Bar.

We raced to get to the theater on time carrying our plates of food and we got into the theater and it was not cleaned yet. We made an effort to clean our own seats and got comfortable and started eating. The staff showed up after the movie start time and kicked us out while they cleaned. No apologies. We picked up our plates and utensils and waited in the very hot hallway. They are trying to save money i guess by not running the AC for the entire theater. I'm pretty sure they turned the AC off in the restrooms too. This place used to be a great theater. We've been there a ton of times. They also set off the fire alarm today interrupting our late starting movie. They blamed it on a smoker but who knows. They made us all wait outside for maybe 20 minutes while they left the alarm going. I worker came outside and filmed us all waiting for them to reopen. Customer service comes second here. Not sure what happened to this place. It was considered a close Cinepolis for us but their stock is down with my family now. Oh and when we finally got back in side no special considerations were made, the movie had run past the spot it paused for us and they left the lights on in the theater for 10 minutes. Then they rewound the movie again and made us watch the same few minutes over again. Customer service is dead here.
