| - I moved to 'old' Henderson 2 years ago, and while exploring my new 'hood, I was delighted to see a stand alone theater that looked both functional, and on a bit of the 'old fashioned' side. I drove by a few times, noting that this cinema was indeed playing the latest movies that were offered at other theaters.
I have 3 children, and one hot summer day in 2011, they were driving me absolutely bonkers! What better way to entertain them for at least 90 minutes than an air conditioned movie theater. They'd nibble on movie snacks and I could take a quick cat nap (just kidding! kinda...) in my seat while they watched a movie of their choice .
The box office girls were pleasant and quick, and I was shocked at how CHEAP the matinee prices were! I also noted the evening show prices and was happy as well. Way under the typical $10+ ticket elsewhere.
The ticket collector woman seems to always be the same one, no matter what time of the day we go. I think if I *don't* see her, it would mess up my whole routine experience-she is the little extra delight. She's dryly humorous, very matter of fact with her instructions as she greets you, but sometimes on good days, she gives a little commentary about the movie you're about to see.
Snack bar prices are expected-a little pricey. They do offer snack packs for mini noshers like myself, or perfect for kids. Right around $5-$6, which pretty decent.
If you get there early, you can kill time and play in the arcade. Air hockey is a highlight, and the room is big enough to accomodate a whole slew of kids, come school breaks, weekends, or Holidays.
I've gone to every type of show from matinee, evening, even midnight showings of some of my favorites (you know where you absolutely HAVE to see it as soon as it comes out) and my experience has always been pleasant.
This theater is great due to distance from my house and affordability. A true no frills theater with great employees. I'll be back, that's for sure.
