It has been 3 years since I wrote this review, and they still got the same old dusty 4 metre long cobwebs hanging down the ceiling in front of the screen. I guessed they dont bother vacuuming the drapes lined along the sides of the theater. I couldnt get over the dust, even though I dont have any serious allergies, it made me regret walking in there. You also might notice the audio sounds like its being played through a home stereo and only 2 speakers bought from a retail store like Target, I got over this after 15 minutes as well. If the employees arent being super friendly and helpful (like they are to everyone) it might be because youre complaining that they dont do chai mocha half fat non whip frapachino blends.Īt first you might notice the picture suffers in quality, I got used to that 15min into the movie. The tickets are cheap, the popcorn is great, and theres no godawful 40 mins of stupid ads and quizes before the show. If youre a snob, if you carry hand sanitizer around with you in case you accidentally touch someone, or if you frequently look for valet parking, then youre in the wrong theater. Pressed and ironed white trousers, a light pink polo shirt, complete with a navy blue sweater thrown neatly over their shoulder. This is reasonably distracting overall - so, if you really want to immerse yourself in a film, you may want to pick another theatre.Ī lot of people here are complaining of bad service, bad popcorn, dirty areas, etc. Theres frequent getting up and heading out to the lobby as well as fairly vigorous chewing, passing, and slurping of snacks. The one thing Ive consistently noticed about this theatre is that the audience tends to be as equally concerned with their snacks as it is the film. Outside of the Highland Park Independent Film Festival, the Highland Theatre primarily plays major market films, mostly blockbusters. The concessions are generally priced out of the range that I want to pay, but theyre not exorbitantly expensive. The seats are comfortable, the screen is in good condition, and the A/C is good (if a little on the warm side). This is especially true on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because its "Family Night" - $5 for all films, regardless of rating, all day. The Highland (Park) Theatre is a nice place to sit and watch a movie. Totally recommended for a date with a friend/honeyboo or a family on a little budget. Anyway, I enjoyed my experience there minus the sticky floors. We also came by bus, so I cant speak for parking in the area. The theatre is located in an area with a lot of restaurants (just a few blocks away, heading north), so we ended up just going to a little Latin American food joint and eating outside before the movie. We usually never get any concession snacks, so I cant speak for the prices. I ended up paying about 15 bucks (plus tax and all that) for my friend and I. And the best part: if you come before 6pm, adult tickets are 6.50 each. I noticed there werent any armrests attached to the seats. The rest of the place was relatively clean. The bathrooms are claustrophobia-inducing, and the floors were disgustingly sticky so I deducted a star. My friend and I saw the new Wonder Woman film. I visited here for the first time yesterday.
