Theater

5 movie screens here, and it only costs between $1.00$2.00 a ticket depending on the day and time. Look for your favorite movies here a few months after they leave the major theaters. A great place to go watch sweet movies like Casino Royale and The Departed a dozen times in a row.

ive never had a problem with the popcorn. its true about the first showing, but thats why i never go that early...its still cheap for the later shows. the workers for the past year that ive been going have all seemed to be really nice. everyone has bad days, but dont we all. also to comment on the temp thing, just ask someone. i know an employee that works here and they just tell managment and they always push the temp up like 5 degrees they say. supposedly the only way they can change temps is to override a system which is controlled at the main cinemark office or something. i have no idea why they cant control their own thermostats, but apparently thats what cinemark does. i gave it a good rating only because sometimes the workers dont do the best job at keeping the place clean, but overall $2 for a movie is still one hell of a good deal.

Everything is okay to us, except the temperature. We love to go to movies, but we go to few because we are cold in the theater. And we usually can‘t get anyone to turn up the heat much. They say that they will, but we usually can‘t tell whether they actually have or not. I‘ve said before that I would be willing to pay a lot more just to have some comfort. Well, they raised the prices, but it seems colder than ever. Even my friends who usually tolerate cold well are uncomfortable. Last time we went, others in the theater kept their hats, coats, and gloves on. I pulled my hood over my head and pulled my sweatshirt up over my face. Then I felt warm enough, but I couldn‘t enjoy the movie. So, what‘s the purpose of going.
I guess that I should have rated it "poor," but now the software won‘t let me change it.

I have worked there for a few years and yes its true about the popcorn. Our evil managers always make us do it...although sometimes I throw it away when they aren‘t looking. From what I have seen at the theater most employees treat the customers well but for some reason people think that they can just come in and treat us like crap...they think if they had a bad day they can take it out on us. So if you treat us like crap don‘t expect to be treated like royalty. There is always two sides to every story. O ya don‘t buy the combos they don‘t save you any money...our evil head manager came up with that idea. All it does is add up the total for what comes with the combos 1, 2, or 3 and restricts you on what kind of candy you can buy. So just pick what you want to buy and make it easier for the both of us......don‘t blame our head manager though...he use to be good its just that he sold his soul to Cinemark when he became manager and now is one of their dancing pupets.
