3 reviews for Marcus Village Point Cinema
Standard issue suburban theater. Stadium style theaters, which are a nice improvement over the suburban theaters I grew up with. They only difference is that when I was a kid, even in High School, you could go to a movie, get popcorn and sodas AND have money for you and your date to get dinner for about 25 bucks. Now it costs nearly $20 get in.
On the plus side went to see Avatar in 3D. great flick and that they had it in 3D was plus.
That said, the thing I don't like about going to a movie is (even though I have 4 of them) is teenagers in the movie. They talk throughout, or they text throughout. They travel in herds. There is a reason why they are expelled from a pride of lions as they reach adolescence.
Regardless it seems that Marcus Village Pointe Cinema is overrun with them. That is fine. I would suggest that if you are over the age of 30, pick a movie that has been out for a while or a title that is demographically suitable. Otherwise be prepared to in a theater infested with teenagers.
Shout out to Sarah G. whom I have never met, but I swear must be living my life, or I hers because of her reviews.
Not a fan.
The snack bar menu looked really cool. They serve Whitecastle cheeseburgers. Of course it was movie theatre prices, a little of $2 per burger. All they are doing is heating up frozen ones in a microwave. So they taste like it too, not like a real Whitecastel burger.
The theater itself is really nice and the seats are big and comfy. However they stack the showtimes too close togther. I went to see my movie and tried to walk in 10 minutes early to get a good seat and relax a minute. The prior showing was still going. The prior viewing actual went up to the time my showing was starting.
So unless you want to see the end of the movie you are about to see before the start, don't walk in early. There were several of us standing outside waiting for it to end. That's crazy you can't even be 2 minutes early.
Fairly nice new theater, but it's down on my list as far as preference. Just not quite in my wheelhouse in terms of design and it's the farthest away from midtown. Also, off topic, I swear I already wrote a review of this theater... something to do with a feeling of hearding cattle. Did it get flagged for some reason?
Anyway, Friday night this (and all Village Point in general) is the new place to be for teens who can't drive - or maybe for those that can, they're starting to look the same age to me... The last Friday we went, they were hanging out in the lobby in droves. And on a Saturday afternoon the theater was full of young children... of course we were seeing Over the Hedge, but that couldn't have anything to do with the fact that we were the only adults in the theater without kids, would it?
