Marcus Village Pointe Cinema

I love this theatre. It is one of the best that I have ever been to. The staff is friendly, young, but friendly. If you haven't heard about one of the movies that are playing, there is a book there for you to flip through and see who's starring in it and what it's about. However, most of the staff have already seen the movie and can tell you what it's about without spoiling too much. The tickets are cheaper than the other 'bigger' theatres around town..meaning, the dollar movies. I believe they are running 8.50 for adult tickets, but don't quote me. I just know that they are at least a dollar cheaper than the others. Expensive, yes, but what theatre now a days isn't? They have a huge lobby for people to hang out it before the show and a game room for the little ones to be occupied. I have not personally had a birthday party there...as I'm far too old for that now, but I know that they offer it and it was full of teeny boppers when High School Musical came out. The chairs are big and comfy...enough that I have actually fallen asleep during a not so great movie..(*cough...Indiana Jones...cough*). People complain that it's a crappy intersection, it's not...168th and Dodge...I come in from 180th, easier that way and a side road that not too many people use. People also complain about parking...park in the back of the theatre and walk around while the sun is still out so that when the movie is over and it's dark...you can exit out of the side of the building and straight to your car, rather than walking around the building in the dark when it's colder and more scary. Anyway...great place. I recommend this over AMC any day. In fact, I'm going there tonight for the Twillight premeire.

location for, well, anything. You have to drive that dangerous stretch of West Dodge Road to get there, and I'd never recommend that to anyone. Parking is lousy at this strip mall. I don't know what they were thinking, building here.

Occasionally they do show an art film or independent film, so I'll give them a few stars for that. The location (and parking) is terrible. Ticket prices are out-of-control high.
