| - When movies cost as much as they do - even $5 for a matinee at other theaters, you have to try and save a few bucks where you can. Though there aren't any true "dollar theaters" left, this is about as close as you can get.
Pricing is a bit strange, however, so be warned: standard movies are $2, and all movies all day Tuesday are $1. Then if you have more than three people, movies on Monday are just $0.50, and movies after 6pm Friday and Saturday are $2.25. Got it? Even if you get the full-price movies, it's still a lot cheaper than a matinee at a regular movie theater, but just be aware that there are lots of prices.
The other thing to know is the automated ticket kiosk. It's inside the lobby. When you see long lines at the box office(s), just duck inside the lobby and serve yourself. At most, there is perhaps one person inside (often who doesn't know how to use it), and you're going to get in much faster than waiting in line. Generally there is no one in line.
As to the theater itself, it's a bit cheesy on the outside, with lights and such. The inside is typically pretty clean, but the crowds can get a bit out-of-hand on weekends, and you'll even see some police too. I agree that people-watching can be fun too. There are people who take toddlers to R-rated movies, and that bring their own food and play on their cell phones during the whole movie. But it's definitely worth the savings!
