Westbrook Cinemas — Attraction in Westbrook

Grandmother and her 8yo grandson next to me at concessions counter ordered two bottles of Dasani water - Manager asked for $9.50. She said thank you and walked away. I had to confirm if he actually said $9.50 for two bottles of purified Dasani water that you can get at Walmart for ten cents a bottle as I thought I might have misunderstood him and he said yes - and had the audacity to further try to justify the price by claiming that the theater had to make a profit.

The theater was clean, and the young women at the counter were very cheerful. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I took one star off because of the misleading advertisement on their website...

This theater holds a special place in my heart. Yeah, the decor is a little outdated. Sure, the seats are original and need upgrading. The concessions could use restocking, but the popcorn was great and the candy, was candy. Haha! I remember coming here in 2001/2002 with my friends every Friday. I saw a lot of movies here. I just came back with those same friends more than 20 years later and couldn’t help but thoroughly enjoy the experience. Nostalgia is powerful. Is it an XD/IMAX 4K experience? No. But, it’s a locally run theater that’s showing new and rereleased movies on screens that look good, and speakers that sound good. (We were in Theater 4.) It needs some work aesthetically but the bones are there. Invest a little in this place, support the staff. It’s got...
