Mt Shasta Cinemas — Attraction in Mount Shasta

What can I say.. I’m a visitor, and I decided to take my son and his friend to go see a movie. Not like we had many options. This is what they got.. I have been majorly spoiled by the theaters in San Jose. Reserved seating, lounge chairs.. but that’s not the reason for the 3 stars.

Purchased the tickets online: easy. Walked in, kinda just went to find seats without any hassles.

Found that our selections of seats were based of, which seats have drink holders connected.. ok!!

These seats have seen a lot. Time to let them retire.

Went to go get snacks and a drink. Friendly and nice employees, got everything I needed. Only issue, found out during 10 minutes into the movie, my Red Vines was already opened, and it was hard as rock.. They should replenish their candy selection.. or at least check.

Heard a complaint from the other theater room, that the volume was low.. so I thought that was weird.

Then as our previews started, and the movie was beginning... the huge outdated fluorescent lights were still on. Someone got up to tell the attendant, but she didn’t come back for awhile.. after 10minutes, she came back in.. and then 15 minutes in to movie, the office lighting was shut off.

The owner should consider throwing some money back in. I get it, it’s a small town, but movies are important to people, especially seeing the film the first time there. It shouldn’t be that trashy.

Take out your wallet and replace the things that have been there since 1982.. jk, I don’t when this...

The chairs are old with not much foot space. Extremely uncomfortable. They will literally hassle you for bringing a starbucks, EVEN if you are buying concessions and are a repeat customer. (They don't sell coffee, but won't allow you to bring it in).

They literally refunded my money and refused me as a customer rather than allow me to buy a ticket, a soda, a popcorn, and be able to enjoy my coffee with my movie that they DO NOT SELL. The manager was totally inflexible and passive agressive; it was the best day of his life to deny service to a theater goer over an outdated, petty rule.

In a world where movie theaters are dying, why is this bizarre rule still enforced? This theater is old, small, uncomfortable. It runs aweful, boring arthouse theaters from the local area AFTER all the other movie trailers and...

The staff are great, helpful and friendly. The theater and restrooms are really clean. Great family environment. Reason for the 3 Star rating. - The chairs are terrible. They're really old and outdated. A lot of the chairs are busted and don't have cup holders anymore. This leaving you no option but to either hold your drink the whole time or set it on the floor in front of you and hope you don't spill it everywhere. It would be nice to see the place get nice newer reclining chairs like all other theaters. I realize the the recliners would lower how many people fit in each theater but they are rarely sold out. So I think comfort over quantity is more important here. If they had the better chairs I'd definitely...
