Cinemark easily. Hard to beat those recliners with reserved seats.

Seriously? AMC O'Neal has reserved seating and much better recliners. Plus their Dolby Theater is the tits.

All theaters should have reserved seating.

ETA: and ushers should be able to hit people who put their feet on the seats in front of them with a night stick.

Malco: Best popcorn, decent seats, some weird screen placements in the smaller theaters (aisle down the middle of the theater, so no central seating).

AMC O'neal: Best seats, Dolby Theater is best option in town, okay popcorn, IMAX Theater has non-reclining seats.

Cinemark: Okay recliners, place is often filthy, shitty parking options. Does have more indie movies. Okay popcorn.

AMC Mall: No reserved seats. No reclining seats. Okay popcorn.

Movie Tavern: Go to Juban if you're into that stuff. Avoid Corporate location at all costs.

Celebrity: Shitty seats with obnoxious tables in your lap.

Cheetos Popcorn for the win. Plus, no having waiters in your face constantly serving shitty food throughout the entire movie. And the self-serve drink machine in the hall outside the theater instead of in the lobby.

I honestly forgot they renovated the AMC on O'Neal, but still probably can't justify going there since it's so much easier for me to get to Perkins Rowe

Crisp image with great contrast. Better recliners. The audio is amazing, especially if you're seeing the right movie. The bass will rattle your fillings, explosions shake your chair. Not just "loud" audio. Better audio.

The movie tavern on corporate is staffed by Burger King workers. Dirty theater and lobby, workers on their phones, etc.

I try and go to the Perkins Rowe Cinemark whenever I can

If you want to walk your arse off. They've taken away the front parking lot as an option (limited time allowed there, for shoppers and diners only). If the bottom of the parking garage is full you have to take an elevator, then walk around the block to get to the movie.

I'd rather go to AMC and park right on the side of the building and walk right in.
