    Cinemark San Antonio 16 - Reclining chair.

    I went there to see a Wuthering Heights matinee this past Sunday afternoon. I sat towards the back…read morein the handicap row so that I could park my rollator walker next to me. I specifically chose this theater for the "luxury reclining seats" but my seat wouldn't recline. I moved one seat over and that one wouldn't recline either. Thank goodness barely anyone was in the theater, because I had to move several seats over to find a recliner that worked. I sat there very comfortably for about an hour and a half and then went to use the restroom. Went back to my seat and it also wouldn't recline! I can't sit with my feet down for very long without experiencing increased pain, which is why I chose this theater. The rest of my time there was positive, but I'm concerned about returning because of the issue with the seats not being able to recline. I'm worried that I'd return to a full theater and not be able to elevate my legs and feet in the future. Small theater, so I didn't have to walk very far to get to my seat or the restroom. The employees are very nice and helpful. I only had a smart water so I can't remark on the snacks.

    I remember when this was a dollar theater back in the day. I saw Oliver Stone's "The Doors" and I…read morebelieve Scorsese's, " Goodfellas" in a double feature. I also hearken back to that time when I saw the person carrying a backpack with 5 kids. It was for a deliberate reason. Enter the sounds of snuck in sodas and snacks. It was dingy but admission to get in was cheap. Now theaters have become visual representions of our homes. Reclining chairs, table side service and designer foods. The whole point of going to movies was to surrender to the movie. But now that time has passed. Even though this place has re-opened and still maintains its former glory, it is no match for the litany of mega-theaters and burgeoning streaming services. Maybe my review is to opine as in nostalgia but that is not such a bad thing. Plus I can't do the bigger theaters where everything is on the other side of the world. Firstly tickets are really, really cheap. If you don't mind 30 minutes of trailers, the compromise is subtle. In addition I really see no major difference in sound and film quality versus the major outlets. Although with praise there must be critique. One major thing patrons will not agree with are the concession's pricing. Popcorn is outrageous. Beverages are going to put a hurting to your wallet. And an almost seemingly 10$ dollar Icee? With no accompanying refills? Simple solution, join their membership loyalty club for a monthly fee of $10 bucks. It really saves you money. I must mention a caveat. The crowd can be interesting. I one time saw a dude dressed like a wizard. And a couple next to us were discussing their men troubles. Almost throughout the whole movie. I suppose living four years apart and now reacquainting ourselves to sitting together is still problematic. I must say I do like this theater despite all forementioned things. It is not pretending to be anything other than what it is. They offer premium films at inexpensive prices. Concession prices leave little to be desired. But again my theater hack is to sneak in a bag of Sour Patch Kids and wait for the loud "Fast and Furious MCIIIV" trailers to pop open drinks. I mean it's not the Alamo Drafthouse but I don't think that's a bad thing either. ps. I wish my partner would stop selecting horror movies when we go! I miss my arthouse films.

    Was able to catch an early afternoon Rom-Com movie, "Solo Mio" on a Saturday. We entered the lobby…read moreand you have to have a bag-check. It's been awhile since I've been to this theater and remembered that the reclining seats weren't as comfortable as Alamo Drafthouse's. Well I think they had a remodel since then because the seats were very cushiony, seemed newer as the seats weren't worn down and the width of the seats and spacing between seats seemed ample enough that you're not going to bump your neighbor. The tray tables are also well-placed so that your table isn't impeding your view. I think it was well-designed. It was a smaller theater with only 5 rows but the terraced rows were low enough that someone walking in the lower row won't impede your view as well. The theater wasn't super cold as some places are where I'm using a hoodie and jacket in the middle of summer. Folks in line and around us still brought their blankets, LOL! To note, there's a $5 Santikos ticket deal where you can buy these tickets during the last few showings of a featured movie. They're only available for purchase at the theater according to the onscreen ad. Concession stands are downstairs and there's a bar. The screen showed a clip where you can order your food and have it brought to you for a small service fee. There was also a message of knowing where to exit and being vigilant with your surroundings or something to that effect. It's always good to be street-smart these days. After the movie, we exited and there was a Sheriff's Deputy that was outside and looking at his phone. I figured he was going to be on guard today or perhaps the weekend since a major world event occurred today that I expected ramped up security in public places.

    Saw the Minecraft movie here. And the theatre was super clean. Bathrooms amazing. I love that this…read moreplace has movie memorabilia. We had popcorn, extra butter, and a freestyle soda, diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper. The ticket taker was super nice and understood we had a larger group coming in. The concession stand gentleman was super quick. The clean up crew was very quiet entering the movie towards the end and I enjoyed this theatre.
