The good... New automated ticket kiosks make it much faster to buy a ticket at the door, should you need to do so. Bathrooms and theatre rooms are always clean and smell nice. Its seldom too cold in the theatre rooms. Theres plenty of room between seating rows so you arent tripping over other people. The bad... This theatre has no IMAX option, so the 3D screenings are less enjoyable for nearly twice the price of regular admission. Not worth it. Also, if you show up even 10 minutes early, count on being forced to watch some really awful advertising until the show starts. I miss the good old days before theatre chains started doing their torturous "First Look" advertising segments and the like. They are so entertaining and offer a great way to kill time while waiting, said no one, EVER. You just paid to watch commercials! Horrible ones! Furthermore, the new recliner stadium seating, while very luxurious, is not comfortable at all if you want to share a pair of seats with a friend or child, and the front row (heaven forbid you should get stuck there) is so close to the display screen it should come with a free neck brace for the injury you might sustain while straining to watch even half of the screen for two hours. In all practicality, the front row isnt even worth staying for; get a refund on your ticket and come back another time. Your chiropractor will thank you. Another fun part of your experience will be the new mandatory policy of reserving your seat in advance. This aggravation only serves to make it substantially more complicated and difficult to get a good seat, even if you show up two hours early... So buy tickets a day in advance at least, and always remember to be prepared for the delightful time you may well have to spend convincing someone to move out of your reserved seat when you arrive to find them laying in it, covered in popcorn, butter grease, and melted Junior Mints. On the other hand, you should also be prepared for some confused stranger to insist that you leave your rightfully reserved seat when they arrive as bewildered as can be, awkwardly trying to find their correct seating assignment, in the dark, right as the movie is starting and the dialogue begins, 100% confident that your seat is actually theirs. Ugh! This nonsense is what people go to the movies to forget, and now the process is so overblown that going to the theatre is like flying standby to Hawaii on Christmas Eve. Well, except you might actually be paying less for the same amount of suffering at the airport. Oh, and as always, its Coca-Cola only, so unless you like that or Mister Pibb, tough luck, buttercup. Youll be paying 500% markup for the privilege of consuming a drink you dont like. Better option: just forget the drinks. Seriously. Because as ticket prices continue to climb, and buying tickets online results in an added $3 "convenience fee" in order to penalize those who plan ahead, its further insult to injury that concession prices seem to climb even faster and to more exorbitant, price-gouging levels than the tickets. For those thinking they could just buy three copies of the movie on Blu-ray in a few more months and spend less money, Id suggest trying to catch a matinee of you want to feel like you received some semblance of value for your money. Or actually just wait until your movie goes to Blu-Ray and enjoy it at home with the food and beverage of your choice, no commercials, no ridiculous seating arrangements, and no neck brace! The unfortunate... As always, be safe. Know the exits and how to reach them quickly if you have to leave in a hurry. Good luck and may the force be with you, fellow moviegoer.

If I could rate less than one star, I would. Listen to the other posts about going before 3. Every time Ive been, which has been 4 times in a year, we have been surrounded by cell phones. During Thor 2, a teen girl spent the whole movie on facebook in the seat next to me, to my husbands right a young man filming with his phone the whole movie. The row ahead, another guy on his cell every 5 minutes. Two people over.. yup! you guessed it! another phone. Those were just the ones closest to us. Why on earth would you waste money on a 3D movie, just to look at your phone? Why did I not get up? because I paid to watch a movie and Im not missing something to tattle. Ill just simply not go here anymore. Im done with this place. Which is sad, because it is otherwise a very nice place with nice employees. The seats are comfortable, the concessions good. The sound is fantastic as is the clarity of the screens. But if you cant enjoy the movie, then whats the point? Go early, or go to the Rave, it may be owned by the same company, but this location seems to be a magnet for kids and assholes.

Despite the multiple complaints from people without children, this theatre is not kid friendly. I took my 20 month old daughter to see Goosebumps, which she was thoroughly enjoying, and was told, not asked, that she had to leave the theatre because she was talking too loudly about the movie. She was not yelling or crying, just getting into the experience. The manager did not give us a warning just came in in the middle of the movie, ironically causing a much bigger disturbance than anything a child could accomplish, and told me she had to leave. She wouldnt even let us move to the back of the theatre. I was refunded my ticket price but could not explain to my daughter why she was forced to leave. She just kept saying "no movie?" I am thoroughly disappointed in the way the theatre chose to act and do not recommend people with children going to this theatre as adults are ruining the experience for children. And, in regards to adults complaining about children, do not go to kids movies and get angry when kids show up!

I went there last night to see a movie and was an hr into the movie when some college kids came in and sit by my sisters and I they smelt like weed and were talking as soon as they came in. The smell of them made me worry cause of how strong it was I knew something was going on. My sisters and I got up to leave as were leaving I tell a manager and he said he smelt it as soon as they came in but there was nothing he could do about it. My response to him was so your ok with people coming in smelling like weed and ruining other peoples time here and he said Im sorry but it none of our business what people do before coming here. i was furious at this point so as we walked out the door I made sure the officer knew about it cause had they done it in the car before they got there or drove like that it could put other people in harms way. Now I dont care what you do with your life but please be careful an not do drugs before driving or while driving you are putting other peoples life in danger.

No tienen personal bilingue Los Nachos te los dan cerrados como si fueran bolsa de sabritas y a un lado el queso tibio tambien cerrado que apenas alcanza para unos 8 nachos. Y lo peor de todo es que el volumen de la pelicula esta tan bajo que no retumba y la gente no se asusta con la pelicula (en este caso "it") por lo demas esta muy comodo el asiento, se queda uno dormido bien rico alli.
