Finally got to see a movie there this past week. While I have waited for so damned long for there to be an alternative to the dump that exists down in Lexington Park - they really need to do a few things.
One is - they need to put up some kind of damned signs or a marquee. For Pete's sake, the only way I know what movies are playing is, I look it up online. Seriously, you can't tell what's playing EVEN if you drive your car down there and drive past the ticket booth. In addition, they need better advertising for the theater on 235. Yeah, there's a movie theater back there. Could you be a bit more specific? Times and showings would help. Even a scrolling display like in front of Wildewood would be ok.
Two - it's too damned cold. It's hot outside - freezing indoors.
Three - the whole feel of the place seems - cheaply done. SPACIOUS, at least in the halls and lobby.
Four - they need to label the screens with what movies are playing. All you get is a number - and you look at your ticket to see the number. Almost every theater I've been to in my life, they have signs inside telling you what is showing behind what door - and sometimes, times.
Five - my wife was a little ticked that the restrooms were a little underfurnished with commodes - and one was already out of order after a month on the job.
Lastly - if you're going to go with stadium seating - go a little further with reclining seats. They're better than Lexington Park - but worse than Waldorf or Brandywine.
-----------------------------
That said - it's a nice place. Very clean. There is a LOT of parking. I've never seen it full, so I can't speak for how it goes when there's a crowd. We plan to go again this weekend. Even with my aforementioned complaints, it's a lot better than the one in the Park.
