Grandin Theater

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

I watch a lot of movies. I have never walked out of a movie in my entire life before going to the Grandin.

The picture quality was completely unacceptable. The lights in the main auditorium were too bright. The picture was washed out and it was easier to see the people in the audience and the bricks on the walls than it was the movie, particularly during the movie's frequent night scenes.

I have never complained about theatre quality before, but after half an hour I got up and informed the staff the lights in the auditorium were too bright. They said the lights were fine. I asked for a refund. They said they only offered refunds for technical issues, and apparently "washed out picture" did not qualify as a technical problem.

I paid $8.75 for a movie I did not get to watch. As much as I would like to support independent theatres, until the Grandin Theatre shows more respect for the motion pictures and the customers that pay its bills, it's not worth preserving.

Reviewed from Yahoo! Movies: indie and foreign films paved the picture highway............as they did for sound and picture quality. Thank you very much. The Grandin is a gem and should remain that way.

Reviewed from Yahoo! Movies: This theater is a landmark in Roanoke. It's a favorite place to go for many in the area. They show a lot independent movies you can't see in a usual multiplex theater. It has a lot of character as does the Grandin area.
