I called them up one morning last week, and they showed up to my doorstep a couple of hours later to fix the problem with my garage door. They work at an excellent pace and they w...

Good Date 8/4/2009

Loved the experience! Large screens, comfortable seating, clean restrooms. A bit crowded at times so assigned seating is a plus. Best to valet park if you want to avoid a long walk back to the car. Nice restaurants... do yourself a favor and make reservations during peak hours.... and live entertainment in the courtyard. Pros: Good Location, Restaurants & Live Band Cons: Parking can be a hassle more

Okay, I enjoy the fact that I can purchase my tickets online and print them from my printer....I like it.\r \r My wife and I along with our friends went to see ""Watchmen"" today 3-7-09. My pal Dan bought me and my wife popcorn and drink which was awesome, he's cool like that. When the snack bar worker asked me if I wanted butter on my popcorn I responded with a 'yes', but very, very light butter. I get to my seat and the movie starts. My wife and start eating the popcorn and we're enjoying the butter until we get to the center of the bucket - and we're still tasting a very heavy butter taste. I walked just outside the auditorium to see how much butter was actually put on. This freakin' guy had put so much butter on my popcorn that there was a thick layer of it coating the bottom of the bucket. EFFIN' GROSS'!!! \r \r When the movie was over I took the bucket back to the snack bar and allowed the manager, Troy, to see what my complaint was all about. I told him that I was dissatisfied with the popcorn and that I wanted my friends money to give back to him. He asked me if he could re-fill it for me to my liking. I said that the entire situation of there being too much butter ruined my appetite and that I would simply like my friends money refunded to him. Troy told me that if I would have come to tell him sooner that he would be able to give my friend his money back, but since it was after the movie he couldn't.\r \r I nearly exploded with anger all over him. I said to him that it doesn't matter at what time I'm not satisfied with the purchase! The fact is, I AM NOT SATISFIED!!!!! SO GIVE ME MY MONEY!!!!!!\r \r He didn't give me my money back - so now I'm letting everyone know that Arclight Cinemas is not the place to go if you want someone to understand that you had an employee that cannot understand what the difference between heavy and light butter is!!! Stay away from Arclight!!!! MORONS!! MORONS!! MORONS!! Pros: Good atmosphere! Cons: Management staff does not care about you! more

Best Bar View! 3/1/2008

Arclight is the new wave of movie theater experiences. With assigned seating and impeccable standards for movie viewing, you don't have to worry about waiting in line for hours to possibly get a horrible seat or split off from your friends. Knowing that your seat is secure and just where you want it, you can relax and have a cocktail or bite to eat in their restaurant and bar. And with the 405 and 101 racing by practically next to you it's one of the best bar views in the city! Who knew traffic could be so calming and interesting! \r \r The bar here is one of my favorite new places to frequent! The atmosphere is very inviting and calm, the view fantastic, and the bartenders are super friendly and make some mean drinks! Really a great lil hidden find in the valley! Pros: Bar View, Seating, Caramel Corn Cons: Parking garage distance more

won't go back 12/8/2007

Before the switch over, the seats were really comfy and the front section reclined to make the best seats in the house. Now the seats thrust your head forward and they don't tilt back. They also got the showtime wrong on the website, so everyone who bought their tickets online had to wait an extra half hour! And I personally don't like being hovered over by swarms of staff and ushers, having to carry my ticket everywhere and being told by a teenager with a microphone what movie I've decided to see. And all for a mere $2 extra over the old price... what a deal! If you like airports, you'll love this place. more
