    Popcorn dispenser

    We went to go see Wicked and decided to go to this Santikos location I hoped that there would not be a big crowd overall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we got there the parking lot didn't look that full and there was no line at concessions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They checked our bags as we walked in and that process was fairly simple. We ordered our food and then headed over to the bar area for the limited time edition Wicked inspired drinks in souvenir cups. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were at the very top row in theater 8 and I have to admit that those were great seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was a bit worried about it being a pretty crowded show, but surprisingly no one sang! I technically sang along in my head, yet out of respect for others and their enjoyment I didn't sing along; I will when the song along version is released. Now; I have to admit that this is the second time I have been here and I am still at bit baffled that we have to serve our own popcorn here. I mean it's cool and all, but possibly having people's serve their popcorn with dirty hands and then everyone else has to use those machines and touch the dirty buttons which will then touch your popcorn that will eventually be eaten is just not very hygienic. There is also no way of telling just how old the popcorn is. Other than the odd way to get popcorn, everything was great. Though if I ever go to this location again I will not be getting popcorn. I was debating on a 3 vs 4 star rating, but the popcorn situation just didn't cut it for me and therefore 3 stars was awarded.

    1st ANGELINA she's a lovely lady who took our ticket with a smile,and happiness was so full of life! Then my girlfriends& I who have been attending the Galaxy since we were 12 years old back in the 80s...YES WERE still cool by the way! THEN at concession stand were we met LEO& JORDYN among everyone else I didn't get everyone's names but everyone was delightful and sweet and helped us with our snacks and very professional.Now later on during the movie as we were watching.... Materialists, which was a beautiful movie,and a very real not a fairytale story. We had a person in there mind you in the entire theater there was only 4 who was kind of upset with the happy remark of the laughter that we were having so we mentioned to the wonderful manager David, who went there to do a little monitoring and then after that everything was smooth sailing! Thank you to the entire staff we had a lovely time and we returning soon to enjoy everyone's professionalism, and happiness and wonderful energy!

    Went here to see the new thunderbolts movie and had a wonderful experience! It was my first time at this theater and the cashier was more than happy to answer all my questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The popcorn was fresh and the reclining seats in the theater were comfy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to an early afternoon showing so it wasn't too busy and I could fully enjoy the ambiance of the theater.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be coming back to watch more movies!

    Dine and drink while you watch a movie on the big a screen?! Yes, please! This theater offers a great environment with a bar, arcade, and concessions stand with amazing burgers. I ordered the classic burger which was charbroiled and juicy! The hotdogs were great too! The staff was attentive making service fast and efficient. A great place to have a birthday party too! You can rent a theater room and get arcade cards for your guest! Such a fun place with entertainment for both adults and children. Note there is a small fee to have your food and drinks delivered to your seat.

    Very comfy seating. Staff we pleasant and helpful. We watched Avatar and were comfortable and well tended. The place was clean, food was decent and same prices you'd expect from any other theatre. The epic chicken nachos were well worth the $14 we paid. We also got the mega deal popcorn and filled it up 2x. I'd come here again to watch any movie new to theaters.

    I'm a Regal Unlimited member, and I live in Houston, but when visiting San Antonio for a week I…read morewanted to check out a nearby Regal theater The theater is massive, but it has significantly less auditoriums than the theaters in Houston. It looks like they are mid-renovation. Much of the interior is either outdated or under construction. On the ground level there are a couple kiosks to purchase your ticket and a ticket taker employee before you get on the long and steep escalator. At the top of the escalator you have a hallway of theaters. There is a concessions area, but I had to ask an attendant at the top of the escalator where the concessions was. It was located on the other side of the wall (of the hallway). The concessions is fairly small in size, but they offer most all of the typical Regal treats The staff were helpful and professional. And it's not a bad movie going experience. I think I was just put off by the construction and the confusing layout. There wasn't a usable escalator to get back to ground level and I had to use an elevator (I only saw one), and this felt like a fire hazard, but there must have been stairs somewhere Some tips: Join regal rewards to earn points with every purchase. I am also a huge advocate of the Regal Unlimited Pass. If you're a frequent movie-goer like I am you can see virtually unlimited movies and you get a discount on concessions Cheers!

We showed up at 1:34 so we were very confused. We sat down and just watched the movie cause we thought we were late. After the movie was over we felt like we missed half of the movie. Well, that's exactly what happened. We were redirected to the wrong auditorium and missed half the movie so we talked to a manager told him our situation and he definitely helped us out and gave us another showtime free of charge.

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.

Three years and a day later, after graduating and relocating to Central Texas, we drove just about an hour each to see Odyssey. This is Yelp, not Letterboxd, so my opinions on Odyssey are not in the review, but seeing a movie in 70mm IMAX on a screen as huge as the one here at the Rivercenter AMC turns a movie into an attraction. It makes a movie feel like an event. A barnburner. It's unlike anything else. I don't care how uncomfortable the seats might be... Okay, I care a little. The IMAX theater crams people into that theater like an airline. You are practically sitting on people's laps, and if anyone around you shows up late, needs to go to the bathroom, or gets up for any reason, they have to part the Nicole Kidman AMC Red Sea. If you shop at the big and tall section at the store, you're not gonna have a comfortable experience. The concession, like all AMCs, feels illegal, but are you NOT gonna drink an unreasonably large soda? Whatever. I hope after maintaining this IMAX projector through Odyssey, they continue to show movies in 70mm at this AMC. Time will only tell. P.S., after the Rivercenter parking garage changed to Metropolis parking, you only get a discount on parking with a ticket. Not a fan! RIYL: The big screen. The comically large screen.

I couldn't wait for the movie to finish because it was that uncomfortable. On top of that, the IMAX auditorium seats don't recline, they're very dated, and they're dirty. This location desperately needs a massive renovation. It deserves it.

That said, the theater itself needs major improvement. The building had an unpleasant smell when we walked in. The hot dog bread was old, hard, and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for days. My Doritos nachos were stale, and the ICEE tasted like straight syrup with barely any carbonation.

We walked in circles three times looking for the ticket kiosk. The person who was meant to give us 3d glasses let us walk past him two more times without addressing us. Once we sat down, I was bummed that the theaters lack recliners. The ancient seats were uncomfortable and dirty. Once the movie started, the speakers were only working on one side of the theater. Yvonne (manager) refunded our tickets (because none of the employees knew how). However, Yvonne rudely told me I was wrong about the sound and offered no apology for the poor overall experience; no leadership whatsoever from this person. I highly recommend Santikos Cibolo. The theater is modern, the sound works and our tickets, drinks and popcorn were several dollars less expensive. I don't see any reason to visit Regal Live Oak again. They don't do a single thing right.

No worries, I'll just go with a less frequented movie that I don't wanna see as much, and wait in your lobby to order tickets for some random poor seats, like we used to do in the old-fashioned days. Once seated the gift cards can't be used to order food. For some reason, Drafthouse requires a credit card to do so within their app. But, you can leave your movie 20 minutes in, and order food from the lobby, and never see the waiter again for things such as refills on drinks or allegedly unlimited popcorn. I won't be buying Drafthouse gift cards from Costco again, because as far as I can tell, they're just some sort of Ponzi scheme to collect my credit card number, name, and other pertinent details. But, I don't think I'll be attending Drafthouse again at all, because gift cards aside their entire thing was providing you a waiter and getting your food during your movie, and they've managed to mess that up entirely.
