| - With Netflix, On Demand, and Red Box I'm not a huge patron of movie theaters.
That being said, this Christmas my husband and I received multiple movie passes, which means we are off to the theater.
We caught a matinee today. The lines were very short.
The woman at the window, Donna was exceptional. Made conversation about my husbands Star Wars wallet, and even offered to put our multiple gift cards onto one card which was amazing. (Now we only have ONE harkins card to keep track of!)
The theater it's self is HUGE. High Ceilings. HUGE Snack area. Random movie posters and paraphernalia. Really no different than any other movie theater.
Like I mentioned before, The hubs and I don't go out for movies a lot, so I was shocked that the already high movie snack prices have gotten even worse. We had free pop corn, and shared a large drink and still paid 5.50. Harkins is HUGE on the up-sale. WE had coupons for medium pop corns, and tried to get us to upgrade those. Can't blame a chain for trying. Especially in a world of instant gratification.
I will hand it to Harkins. I seem to prefer their seating. The right amount of leg room, and very comfortable. Plenty of room for me, my gigantic purse, and our comically large soda. I love sitting in the first row of the stadium, so I can put my feet on the bars. Movie theaters should realize EVERYONE wants to put their feet up, and install bars on the back of all their seats. Same old movable arm rest, and the movies are the same.
I prefer Harkins. They are my "home town" movie theater. Their prices are high, but so is everyone else.
I'm a little miffed their loyality cups refills went up to 1.50
Remember to grab a dollar cash was easy, a dollar fifty is a pain.
