At Tropicana Cinemas you get what you pay for, so at $1.50 ticket for an out-of-regular-theaters movie, if you don't expect much you won't be disappointed. I like to come here to get the movie theater experience for movies I'm interested in seeing, but don't want to pay the movie theater price.
It's a great cheap night out. But watch out for the following:
Where the movie theater really makes it's money, as with any theater, is in the concessions, so watch carefully. What started out as a cheap $5 outing can quickly turn into $20 or $30 if you don't spend wisely. That being said - the $1 hot dogs are decent.
Also, make sure you arrive early to get a seat. Many times the theaters are packed and the lines to purchase tickets can get long. If you're a last-minute movie goer, make sure you add a little extra time to accommodate for this.
Final word of caution - make sure you use the bathroom before you leave the house and don't drink a lot of fluids while you are there. The bathrooms are ALWAYS in a disgustingly dirty state and reek to the point of inducing nausea.
Again, you get what you pay for. I give this a 3 star rating because it falls short in several areas - most disturbingly the cleanliness factor, but i don't expect it to be a top-end movie theater either. For what it is - it's A-OK.
