I was very excited to attend an event at Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, until I came to my trusty Yelp app and read through the reviews. It's one thing to have a couple bad reviews mixed in (you can't please everyone) but when almost ALL of the reviews share the same issues/concerns......gasp.
I didn't let the reviews deter me, I was still excited to visit a new (to me) movie theatre. Got off the elevator I was definitely digging the vibe - big windows with all the natural light, great overlook to Victory Park, cute bar area with seating and games. Not too bad. We were early but we went ahead to our designated theatre to find them still cleaning up from the previous movie. This gave me hope since most of the complaints were of the lack of cleanliness...I saw them with my own eyes cleaning.
We asked if we ordered outside of the theatre would they bring it inside and were told no, which isn't a biggie, so we decided to wait until we were in the theatre to order any food/popcorn. So in the meantime (while they were cleaning the theatre) we sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks. Bar area was nice with a huge screen tv - perfect for watching football. I ordered the sparkling strawberry 75 which was delish!
It was now time to enter the theatre, that I saw being cleaned with my own eyes...y'all. I get to my seat and guess what....FILTHY. How sway!?!? LOL! Popcorn and crumbs all over the seat and literal trash balled up on the table connected to my seat. How'd y'all miss all of this?!?! HOW!?! Before the movie started I decided to go to the restroom because Wakanda Forever was like 3 hours and I didn't want to miss anything. I should've just waited the 3 hours because that bathroom was DISGUSTING. There was dirt, hair and buildup on the back of one stall. One stall didn't have toilet paper, next stall didn't have seat covers. I went to three different stalls and just gave up the fight. Y'all nasty for that one.
No issues with the actual movie/sound/screen, but we did order popcorn (popcorn was actually very good btw) and we had to chase down the young lady at the end of the movie to pay.
The two stars were for the popcorn and bar lol, #DASSIT. I'm not sure how this place is staying open under the guise of "luxury"...because whew chile, the ghetto.
