Regal Arroyo Grande — Attraction in Arroyo Grande

I have been going to this theater since I was little and loved it. Unfortunately, lately there have been a lot of rude people going to this theater. My past few movie experiences here have been ruined by inconsiderate people loudly exclaiming, moving around, and talking during the trailers and movies. When I brought this up with a manager, they were very gracious and offered my boyfriend and I each an extra ticket on them.

It simply reaffirms my need to drive 20 miles for a good movie experience. I’m disappointed in this theater on multiple levels.

I guess I’m just a laser projector, Dolby Atmos, reasonable prices...

The theater's charm is overshadowed by its outdated amenities. The seats, reminiscent of the early 2000s, offer minimal comfort, detracting from the overall experience. My main gripe, however, lies with the excessive advertisements. Despite arriving 10 minutes early for an 8:45 PM show, the 30-minute ad marathon delayed the film's start until 9:15 PM. Spending nearly three hours in such seating proved to be a challenge. Moreover, the irony of enduring numerous ads for the theater itself added to the frustration. Coupled with the steep $16 ticket price, the outdated facilities and prolonged ad segments hardly justify the cost. This combination unfortunately leads to a mere...
