Maybe it's because I've never interacted with any of the employees during my visit. It's been years since I've stepped foot inside this cinema, like most new and grandiose multiplex. It's comfortable and even got to see my movie in DOLBY ATMOS! The visual and audio was more than enough for me. I didn't feel like I was at the ritz, I felt like I was at a movie theatre. More: I don't buy concessions when I go to the movies, so I don't know about "unforgivable" prices but to use more reserved vocabulary, this is how they make money to pay their employees, I should know I worked at a movie theatre before. Overall I had a great experience, buying tickets online was easy and pleasant. I enjoyed my movie - thank you for the hospitality!

I am all for supporting local businesses, so we chose Maya Cinemas in Salinas for a new movie and…read morewere disappointed from start to finish. First, the phone app disappeared. The kiosk to print online tickets was broken, which meant everyone had to wait in line at the concession stand just to get tickets. Then, since we had not visited in a while, we were not familiar with the layout anymore. Our movie was in Theater 1, but the numbering/signage was unclear. We saw Theater 2, but there was no visible number for Theater 1 nearby, leaving us second guessing whether we were in the right place. Once inside, the theater itself felt very worn down. The seats were so worn they looked dirty, and there were no food trays. I did like how far back the recliners went, but the farther you reclined, the more a barrier in front blocked the bottom portion of the screen. We also paid for the Dolby sound experience because my husband appreciates good audio quality, and he immediately noticed that not all of the surround speakers were being used, particularly the rear speakers. That noticeably took away from the movie experience. Overall, this theater feels neglected and run down. It is disappointing to see what was once a thriving theater decline so much. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

And I wonder if attendance will be sufficient, it feels like people want a local movie theater but not enough of them actually want to visit it. And I was a bit surprised at the condition of the theater. Most significantly, when I watched Project Hail Mary yesterday, the image was very misaligned with the screen. At the top and bottom, it spilled beyond the screen by a good foot. And the sides, it fell short of the edges of the screen by a half foot. On the right hand side, masking material was simply missing from the screen setup. In a charming local theater like this, I'm not expecting big theater video and audio quality (and neither are, and both are adequate). But the setup last night seemed janky, so much so that it makes me less likely to visit again.

Yet another theater…read more I saw The Fantastic Four: First Steps here today. I have been to this particular theatre before, the matinee prices are very reasonable. Even been here for late afternoon showings as well. Some people may think movie theatres are a risky business these days, screw 'em! I am a movie buff and love seeing movies on a BIG SCREEN. Buying tickets through their app is convenient and standard. It was very handy to just bypass the line and scan my own ticket right at the start time. Seats here are very comfortable and spacious, screen and sound were great too. Now for the movie; I must say, The Fantastic 4 is genuinely what Marvel needed, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back! It was one of the BEST MCU movies I have seen since Spider-Man No Way Home. The story is perfect, the character building, the soundtrack, score, it set the tone for the ENTIRE film, it tied together the visuals and everything else. Great momentum moving forward Thank you, and I recommend this theater.

La Pastorela by El Teatro Campesino, is the classic shepard's tale of good triumphing over evil…read more Luis Valdez has provided the central coast with wonderful plays for many many years, and this production is right up there. The playhouse, located in bucolic San Juan Bautista, was sold out. The play lasts about 80 minutes with no intermission. The physical layout was as a theater in the round with 4 tiers of seating surrounding the raised center stage. However much of the action was all throughout the theater. While primarily in Spanish, there was a sprinkling of English to assist the non-Spanish-speakers in understanding the plot. The leading actors were female with Luzbel being striking in her costume, acting and singing. As was San Michael the Archangel. Speaking of singing, there was a lot of it and it sounded good. The symbolism was well scripted and enjoyable to behold. One part of the play that brought a smile to my face with memories was the use of a Pachuco and zooters from Luis's "Zoot Suit". A live trio provided great accompaniment to the play, never being too loud. This is a Christmas play that has seen many adaptations here, as well as around the Latino community, It is a biannual production for ETC, alternating with "La Virgen del Tepeyac", so you'll want to catch it before it closes on 21DEC25. From ETC's website: https://elteatrocampesino.com/lapastorela/ Pastorelas, or Shepherds Plays, originated in medieval Europe as religious dramas and were later brought to the "new world" and Alta California by the Spanish missionaries. "La Pastorela" recreates the long trek of those first pastores to the holy site of the Nativity. The Lucifer character or Luzbel and his demons attempt to thwart the shepherds from reaching Bethlehem and the Holy Manger. However, in a dynamic clash of good against evil, San Miguel, the Archangel, and an army of angels overpower the demonic powers of Luzbel and the shepherds are at last free to complete their journey. An adaptation of "La Pastorela" based on a traditional version from San Luis Potosi in Mexico was originally created in 1975 by Luis Valdez and premiered first as a puppet show. The original script was provided by Longina Montoya of Hollister, CA. The play was later transformed into a street theater spectacle from 1977-79 before settling as a play performed inside Mission San Juan Bautista. In 1991, it was adapted into a film starring Linda Ronstadt and Cheech Marin, becoming El Teatro Campesino's first feature length film, and in 2019 "La Pastorela" was performed inside the ETC Playhouse for the first time. "La Pastorela" has been performed in San Juan Bautista biannually during the holiday season, alternating with "La Virgen del Tepeyac" - making these holiday productions ETC's longest running tradition.

This might be the only Chicano owned theatre company left in America. The playhouse is inside and old packing house and has that historic aura that takes you back to the Chicano theater days of the 1960s. There is now a historical timeline in the rear of the building that highlights all of the work they have done up to 2016. We went to see the play about Carlota and the actors were amazing! The set design, lighting and costumes were top notch. I wish I lived closer and I would come way more. Please come and support wonderful local theater.
