Been once in 8 years. Just got tired of the whole thing. To get a decent seat you need to arrive early enough to watch 45 minutes of commercials. Sound way to loud. Movies you pay too much for are the length of a 2 hour tv show. Over priced not very good snacks. The people. Predictably of plot lines. Just not much there any more for me.
