Ive been here twice in recent years and several times before that. This theater has gone downhill in that time and today it is poorly maintained. Both of the recent times Ive gone Ive managed to sit in a broken seat. The first time it was in my assigned seat for an IMAX movie, even though I paid as much as I did. I was so disappointed with my experience I even emailed the contact person listed in the theater for IMAX movies. The second time I didnt realize that the seat was broken until about halfway through the movie. My rear end still hurts! I wouldnt have gone a second time, but I could only get tickets for this theater (Wrath of Khan!) with my schedule, so I didnt have a choice. Ive not been able to enjoy any popcorn here because each time I received horribly stale popcorn. Tonight it was even a bit burnt and tasted a bit like cardboard. As soon as we walked into our theater this evening the smell of urine hit us. I almost walked back out, but today was the last day to see the movie and my wife and I were looking forward to our date, so we stayed. Eventually I was able to ignore the smell, but still, that was gross. Of course we had to be in theater 13. As if all that wasnt bad enough, I almost didnt get to see the movie tonight. When we arrived at the theater, the screen was off and the lights were dim. I thought it was odd, but I figured that the theater was reconstructing the feel of a movie from the 80s. (I couldnt know for sure because I wasnt born when our movie was released.) At a few minutes after 7pm (when the movie was scheduled to begin), the curtains opened and we heard the pre-recorded message that normally precedes the theater ads tell us that our movie would begin in 30 minutes (7:30, even though it was scheduled for 7). I again thought that this weird, but figured that it was an error. The screen didnt turn on and soon we started hearing what sounded like voices. After 15 minutes of this I went to find someone. No one at the concession stand responded to me when I first called out since I wasnt in line, even though the people I called to were not really doing anything, but I eventually got the attention of the person taking tickets. He radioed for someone who started our movie about twenty minutes later than it should have been. If youve read this far, I imagine youve figured my point. Stay far away from this place. My experiences have been terrible and I will not be going back. Save your money, or at least find a good theater. Oh well, at least the movie was good. KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Its sum slight BUT!!!!!! Honestly the worst theater Ive been to in a long time. I still go occasionally because its the closest multiplex, but let me list some of the things that Ive experienced while there: - During a showing of The Lego Movie, I saw a rat in the theater crawling from one garbage can to another. - During that same screening of The Lego Movie, the picture quality of the film was closer to YouTube than a 4K screen, with the top of the screen chopped off and horrific scan-lines across the screen throughout. - The power in my theater during a screening of Pain & Gain went out during the last ten minutes of the movie, and when we all went out to get refunds, they started the projector again and said we missed the ending. - During an IMAX screening of Gravity, one of the speakers was blown out, causing severe audio anomalies throughout. - During a screening of Kingsman, the speakers sounded out-of-phase, resulting in a terribly tinny soundtrack and hard to hear dialogue. - The worst... the WORST audiences. People are constantly talking, taking out their cell phones, taking pictures *with the flash!* during movies... and you can tell the staff, but nothing ever happens. - Ive been to the theater most days of the week and most times of the day, and Ive never seen their secondary concession stand open, and its a huge walk from one end of the theater to the front to get into a massive line for a movie thats going to start in minutes. - Its filthy, the good center seats are often broken, and no one on staff seems to care at all about the place they work. - They dont often get the more fun Fathom Events like Rifftrax even though they have posters for those screenings all over. - Heck they had a special sneak preview screening of Blair Witch last week and they couldnt even get the screen configured properly for the first ten minutes. Fortunately the AFI Silver is just around the corner, the Arclight just opened up last year over in Bethesda, and were getting an AMC at the Wheaton Mall soon. Its very telling that I prefer driving up to 50 minutes away to go to the Alamo Drafthouse in Loudoun before I choose to see a movie here at the Regal Majestic. I do everything I can to avoid going to this theater. I rarely leave this theater satisfied. More often than not Im just annoyed. 1
