Denkikan — Attraction in Kumamoto

I want to give this place 5 stars but I have legitimate complaints.

I have been wanting to come here since I moved to Kumamoto. But they make it near impossible to plan for a movie. That is my first and very major complaint. They give next to zero lead time about what movies are coming and when.

I saw Phsyco Goreman on bluray when it came out but really wanted to see it in theatre when it finally came out. I look up where. And had to drive all the way to Kagoshima.

A couple weeks later I look at Denkikan and see that they had the movie. But didn't advertise it until well after the other trip was planned. Until after the other theatre already had dates and time up. Denkikan made no notice it was even getting the movie. And... It happened again.

I really wanted to see Possessor. I look it up. And it's coming out in March in Japan. This time Denkikan is listed. No mention when on their website. We call. "We are getting it, don't know when". March comes around we call, "we are getting in April, don't know when." It's one week till April, it's on their coming soon page, no times or dates. Finally, dates and time are up 1 week before the movie play... 1 week! Movie night is a big deal for a lot of people, and in Japan people usually make plans months in advance. And they only play many movies for 6 or 7 days,.often only once a day. So if you don't check their website every week, good luck finding a movies. It's like they only want people that just come every so often and watch what ever that have playing. Becuase it's near impossible to actually plan what you want to see. Their coming soon page is like a month out. With no dates.

The theater itself is okay. Clean. About 90 seats,.nice seats. Good sound for a small theater like this. But the screen could be bigger. We sat in the second row, and it was fine I could have easily done the first row. If i was in the back half of the theatre I would just as rather watch on my 65inch OLED. I have seen all these movies on American bluray already. But want to see some of them in the theatre. Which only seems worth it here if you get to sit in the first few.rows.

Kinda glad we saw PyschoGoreman in Kagoshima becuase it was at a normal huge sized regular theatre showing all the other big named movies.

My last gripe. The screen had two vertical lines on it that I found slightly distracting.

I'll be back.... Watching that stupid website every week, because I love going to the theatre and seeing horror flicks. But...

こきおろします。窓口のスタッフ、特にながいスタッフ、接遇マナー最悪。恐らく接遇研修や指導など一切していないのでしょう。ホントに態度悪いです。映画館のスタッフはサービス業です。それすら理解してない、または履き違えてる様です。Denkikanを支えてるのは、お客さんだということを忘れないで欲しい。オレは上映している映画がいいから足運んでるだけ、だけど時々、鑑賞の気分がぶち壊しなることもある。このままじゃ近い将来、間違いなく消えるでしょう。いまさら変われないだろうし・・・。「セッション」大ヒット上映中なんて珍しく持ち上げてたけど、普段はそんなに客も入ってないし、その一因は接遇マナーのレベルの低さにあるかも・・・なんて、たまには分析してみてください三和文化企業さん。アート系とかミニシアター系の映画ファンなんて所詮、微々たるものだし、熊本くらいの地方都市じゃ数も知れてますから、先細りもいいとこだよね。あーあ、熊本もシネコンだけの情けねえ街になっちまうぜっての。福岡まで足運ぶの面倒くせえ。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　PS；シネコンがダメという意味ではありません。接遇マナーはDenkik...

気になる映画があったので、13時過ぎに試験が終わってからDenkikanデビューしてきました。 いわゆるシネコンには何度も行ってましたが、こちらは良い意味で騒々しさもなく落ち着いて過ごせる映画館でした。 館内は清掃も行き届いており、座席はライトヘビー級の私でもゆったり座れて心地よく映画に没頭する事が出来ました。

チケット購入の際に割引きの類の有無を聞かれましたので、提携駐車場のチケットを提示しましたら、駐車場の100円券と映画料金の500円オフのサービスがありました。 車でないと街へ来づらい私としては大変有難いサービスでした。 気になる映画がまた見つかったので、時間を作って伺いたいと思います。

普段は家でDVD等で映画鑑賞しますが、大きなスクリーンで観ると、あっという間に作品の中に引き込まれますね。 色々ある人生ですが、幸...
