Northshore 8

Love this theater, have been coming for years! So convenient to not have to drive all the way to Corpus to watch a movie. They need to update the actual theater; seats are old, aisles are always dirty. Overall, a fine theater.

Sad to see i am not the only one experiencing horrible customer service from the manager at this location. After a miscommunication with start time of a movie, my group and I arrived 20 minutes after the start time of the movie we had planned to watch. We were rudely greeted by this manager who refused to sell us tickets due to the fact we had one minor. Even though he was accompanied by his legal guardian, she refused us service and forced us to leave. Not even giving us a chance to explain our situation she continued to raise her voice telling us to leave. Not a very «Family Friendly» movie theater if you ask me

NEVER AGAIN. You think Starplex off Greenwood is ghetto… THINK AGAIN! Bunch of 8, 9, 10 year olds watching Straight Outta Compton because they’re parents buy their tickets and then leave. Noisy as fuck. Kids wouldn’t shut the fuck up. Their ac might’ve been turned off as well because it was hot and you could smell people’s body sweat. Gross pretzels, generic bottled water, all around TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Tried talking to the manager (old white guy) and he didn’t care so I don’t care to ever go back. Save your money, drive to C. C Century 16.

We got the movies at least once a week, sometimes twice. We love going to the movies. This is our local theatre and have never had much of an issue up until the last few times we went. It’s been hot every time. The sound is awful, and the consession stand employees are terrible. If my family of 4 are willing to pay 20 – 30 bucks in junk food the least your employees can do is not throw the food at us. Perhaps even a smile or a thank you. That might be asking too much. Sunday was the last time we’ll go there for a while. I’ll drive the extra 15 minutes to go to corpus and have a much better experience.

This theater is a bad choice. From the bad movie sound and terrible popcorn to the broken video games and horribly rude staff your are quickly reminded why you drive to Corpus to see movies.
Update: we gave this theatre one more shot… Since it was so close. …And they dropped the ball again. Star Wars skipped right in the middle of the action. … For two extremely loud and excruciating minutes. I warned an attendant at the counter on the way out so they may try keep it from happening during the next showing. They didn’t care one bit.
We are done.

Love my local Portland theater. Can’t beat the prices for admission and snacks. Not often you find a mom and pop run theater that also has 3D. Don’t drive to Corpus. Save your money and visit the Northshore 8!

Went to the new Star Trek movie yesterday. Lots of people with younger kids in there. They played a trailer for the upcoming Anchorman movie in which grown men stand there and several times mentioning «creaming your jeans». Attempts to contact the theater didn’t work since there was no manager there and the only phone is an info line. Also their «comments» page on the website doesn’t work. I don’t consider myself to be a prude or anything, but I find trailers with subject material like that to be highly inappropriate for audiences with kids. I am glad I didn’t take my grandkids since I would not have wanted to have had to explain what that meant to a couple of 7 or 8 year olds. Granted, a lot of movies coming out of Hollywood now are either trash or porn but trailers shown in movies for general audiences need to be screened for material like this.
And the popcorn was still stale.

I’ve come here twice. The employees are friendly. The place was clean.
The popcorn was stale both times we came.
Other than that, I liked this place and would come back.

U go to movies 3 times a month normally –good seats I normally get the kids pack snack and change out the gumming candies for skittles since u have braces but the witch manager at concession stand wont –after 2 years she says no –

Just left this place, everything was fine up until I asked to switch my bag of Candies for another one. Not for a refund, but for the same type just another bag. The bag was warm and you could feel the candy was melted inside. The lady at the concession stand wouldn’t even feel the bag! She just looked at me with a smirk, and said «they’re all the same, they’re all from the same drawer.» As if I was being some type of rude customer. What a jerk, I wasn’t asking for anything over the top, the bag hadn’t even been open yet, it’s not like I was demanding a refund. Sadly I think she might have been some kind of manager, since she looked older than the rest of the kids there. I’ve been going to this place for years, but customer service is everything. I won’t be back.
When you have a good experience, you don’t really tell people, but once you’ve had a bad experience somewhere, you tell just about everyone. Or at least I will.

We went and watched Sherlock Holmes this past Friday and what a miserable experience it was. Popcorn was stale, Movie was blaring loud, and you could roast a pig in there it was so hot.
