Tinseltown USA

This place has changed. Ticket prices are great but everything else is wrong. Last two times I went the auditorium was very warm should have been air conditioned. No notice of a breakdown. Their concession stand staff is the worst ever. Takes about 10 minutes to ring up one person. So literally if you are not there an hour early and want popcorn you could miss your showtime! Managers included nobody cares even if you say something. Oh and the popcorn was stale obviously sat there for a few hours. Do yourself a favor pay the few extra bucks for a theater with proper temp control fresh concessions and a trained staff.

Update: This theater has gone down as far as having pleasant viewing experiences go. About a year ago, I took my son to a film and the theater was filthy. The floor was sticky with something that wasn’t soda. There was garbage everywhere.
People bring their kids all of the time as well. My husband and I went to see Straight Outta Compton and there was a woman sitting alone in front of us. She had 2 boys (about 6 or 7 years old) sitting elsewhere in the theater but came to ask her questions about every 15 minutes during the movie. Very annoying and distracting.
Then, and I kid you not, her phone started ringing. And her ring tone was Stewie from family guy (from the episode where he gets attached to Lois for fixing his teddy bear) saying «Mom, mom, mama, mom, mama, mama, mom, etc…» and she wouldn’t answer it so it just kept going. My husband got angry and said «what the f*ck!» and she turned around saying, «it’s not me» but we could see her phone lighting up in her purse.
So yeah, bringing her annoying kids to a movie they shouldn’t even be seeing, then having the most murder-​inducing ring tone go off mid film just ruined our whole experience.
This place is not the same as our used to be.

This is my local theater of choice. First, you’re not going to find a first-​run theater of this quality with cheaper tickets than Tinseltown. Matinée’s are a few bucks and evening prices are easily $ 3 – 5 dollars cheaper than other theaters in the area. Seats are comfortable and as clean as the competition. The audience sizes are always minimal (ie.less chance of some numbnut kid talking on their cell phone). I think they do a decent job of cleaning in between shows and the screen sizes are commensurate with local, large theaters. You’re not going to find reclining seats, over-​sized screens or over-​the-​top audio here, but the other perks certainly pay off. Cheers.

Been coming here since the opening. Great prices. Bathrooms are clean, albeit stalls are small or the toilet paper dispensers are just way too big. They are practically over the toilets.
Never had a picture cut in the middle of a film. Lots of parking. The service has gone through ups and downs throughout the years. There was a time when only one person would be working concession stand. Things run smoothly now.
This is my go-​to theater.

Nice big movie theater but can still get crowded fast but that’s what movie theaters are for. They have a new credit card machine so don’t need to give it under the cashier window anymore and even at the food stands. The people who go here at times are pretty rude but i give the employees credit. I like it here.

Cashier person wouldnt let me get the student discount with my state id clearly stating that i’m underage and in high school.

Okay, so it’s not the newest or cleanest theater, but the tickets are super cheap. Food is pricey but that’s to be expected. Popcorn is better than Randall. Most of the people who work here are super awesome.
Like others have said, during more popular movies and showtimes, people can be obnoxious. Sometimes it’s annoying, sometimes entertaining. I’ve seen kids under 5 at 11pm showings of scary movies.

Overpriced for the concessions and just seems dirty. The bathrooms need updating and the staff is not very friendly.

Really cheap for the ticket, so that’s only reason for any stars. Concession stand way more overpriced than any other ive been to. Its dirty and run down looking. As usual, the minorities don’t know how to act or let their children be loud during the movie. I only go to the movies like once a year so its doable. Wouldn’t want to deal with it otherwise.

Love the price and also love the fact they play Spanish language movies. I think the place can be cleaner.

Awesome prices on movies. The tradeoff seems to be filthy restrooms and the slowest concession stand employees ever.

As everyone else has attested, they’re pretty affordable most of the time, and damn near cheap the rest of the time. It’s not as fresh as other theaters, but it’s not nasty. Some of the issues… people talking, kids at R rated flicks, etc. happen at all movie theatre.
There aren’t a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, aside from Denny’s and a Popeyes. However, you’re next to 88 so you can get to somewhere fairly quickly.

We’ve been going here for over a year now. I go here to catch the early bird special which is $ 3 for the first showing. Turns out the crowd isn’t so bad either. No rowdiness. No crying babies. No loud talkers. I dig it.

It’s not the cleanest theater around, but it’s one of the cheapest. Ideally, this is where I’d see every first run movie, but I’ve had to move farther away from it for work. I dig the retro look of it; it’s a reminder of when Aurora saw better days.

OK, so, first things first: This is a very, very cheap theater that shows first run movies. Current pricing is $ 6.25 for a non-​3D movie, $ 8.75 for a 3D movie. Kids and matinees are significantly cheaper. With the name of the game being cheap, cheap, cheap, this is the sort of place you need to go to with your expectations well in check.
The place smells like musty basement, the people who work there aren’t too bright, and with tickets this cheap of course you’re going to attract the clientele who can’t afford to go to a theater with «regularly» priced tickets… Which, I might add, are typically double what Tinseltown charges.
With that in mind, expect people who…
–Talk during the movie.
–Respond to the movie with «Oh hell naw» and similar.
–Bring loads of kids and don’t pay attention to them.
–Bring their kids to R rated movies.
–Bring their kids to R rated movies, then spend the whole movie explaining to their kids what’s happening.
…and everything else you could imagine.
Granted, it’s not ALWAYS that bad, as it’s entirely possible to see a movie there with a normal, polite, audience, but it definitely seems to be a rarity. If any of this stuff bothers you, feel free to drive to any other nearby theater and spend twice as much money to see the same movie.
Personally, I love Tinseltown as the audience can sometimes be more entertaining than the movie itself. At $ 6.25 a ticket, you can go see a horrid movie without feeling bad. And, hey, I’m a sucker for a well timed «AWW HELL NAW» from the person sitting six rows behind me.

If you are looking for new movies in a clean environment for cheaper than average prices, this is your place to go.
Movie tickets are only $ 7.50 or so & their concessions are a little lower than other places as well. Since moving nearby, we go here a lot. We’ve gone to my Thursday 10pm movie openings & had to deal with little crowds.

UGH.
Went in on a sunday afternoon… Walked in at 1:30 for a 2pm show. AFter a quick 5 minute bathroom break, my 4 year old son asked for popcorn.
We waited in line. And waited and waited and waited. there were about 10 people ahead of us in line. 2pm then rolled around. You know, when the movie started. There were still 7+ people ahead of us in line.
I asked for a refund and was offered tickets for a later show. Right. Like, if I saw the 4pm show, i’d LOVE to wrangle my 4 year old for another TWO FREAKING HOURS in the movie theatre.
I got my refund and a half assed «we’re doing the best we can». I’m sorry, but no, no you’re not. If you were doing the best you could, the manager type person behind the popcorn counter would have opened up one of the empty registers, and started taking orders instead of wandering back and forth behind the counter aimlessly occasionally shouting «anyone need refills», or helping the cashiers get the orders together. I’ve been in DMV lines that moved faster. — The customers who were helped were helped SO slowly. — I’ve worked food service before and it does not take a tremendous amount of time to grab the simple orders that the customers were requesting.
My son was really upset that we had to leave, but i was *NOT* going to spend another half an hour in line and miss half the movie!!!

This is the place to go for a cheaper movie ticket… Until you buy a drink or some popcorn and your wallet catches ON FIRE!

Wow, this place is cheap. $ 6 a ticket on a Saturday night? That’s like, 2001 prices!
The ticket area is so small, people have to stand outside many times to wait in line to buy a ticket. The lobby is enormous… soooo, they should probably move the ticket counters farther inside so people don’t have to stand in the cold and/​or rain to get a ticket!
The theaters themselves are nothing special… but I had one seriously bad experience here. We saw «Sinister» on a Saturday night at around 8pm, and a mom behind us decided it was a great idea to bring her kindergarten-​age children and their friends to this R-​rated movie. Uh, seriously? The opening scene showed a family being hung from a tree. The freaking movie was about a killer of children! It was rated R! And yet, the mom thought it was a great idea to bring these 6 year olds! Not only that, but the mom narrated the entire movie for the kids. We kept turning around and looking the mom square in the eye with our best «Shut the f up» eyes, but the kids would just say hi and the mom would just stare right back at us. Ignorant.
I know its not the theater’s fault… but shame on the person at the ticket counter who thought it was good idea to sell 4 children’s passes to a R-​rated HORROR movie. This alone is basically the reason we have not been back. Maybe its childish of us, but wow.
The only reason this place is still in business is because of their awesome ticket prices!

It’s almost never crowded here which is great. I saw a 3d movie here with the hubby and we only paid$ 13.50 for a matinée! Awesome!
We did have to repeat our concession order about 5 times but oh well.
To the couple that thought it would be a fabulous idea to bring their 4 or 5 year old to a blood and guts horror r-​rated movie, and then let her run up and down the isle screaming: SHAME on YOU!
