We have had several unpleasant experiences at this theater in the past two months.
During our first visit in July, a man came charging out of a theater, swearing loudly (f-bombs) and complaining about the sound not working. He was confronted by another patron about his behavior, and they ended up in a physical altercation in front of my son and I. This incident was not addressed by either theater employees or security, and both men were allowed to separately re-enter our theater to watch the film.
On our second visit, two patrons engaged in a verbal confrontation in the theater about a child taking during the film. No punches thrown this time.
Amazingly, we managed to attend a screening without incident on our third visit.
During our most recent visit (5th or 6th?) yesterday, a mother came running to the concession counter to alert the staff that her son had been physically assaulted in the restroom and requested that they call security. Mall security did ultimately come to the theater on that occasion, though it was unclear if the perpetrator was detained.
In addition to that incident, the projector in our theater had a bulb explosion that destroyed the projector. Everyone received a refund and voucher for a future showing (thank you), but we ended up having to drive to another movie theater to see our intended film.
I understand that the events listed above are not the fault of the staff, but we were generally disappointed in the lack of adequate customer service and slow or nonexistent handling of situations that would alarm most patrons and would concern me if I was in a management position. Concession service has also been slow and disinterested.
Suffice to say, we won't return to this theater again. It had much better management in its previous incarnation as an Arclight, and we never had to worry about the behavior of other filmgoers.
