Nice Chattanooga area Movie Theater

I live about 15 minutes from Tennessee’s largest mall, the Hamilton Place Shopping center. There are 3 movie theaters in the area, which I have been going to for several years. You have the one in the mall that is always packed, expensive, and you have to wind your way through all the teenage kids loitering outside. Then there is Wynnsong theaters across the street, which doesn’t have quite the same loitering problem since it’s not in the mall, but is still always crowded. Then there is the “cheap theater” that is only a couple of dollars, but there are lots of kids there too since it’s cheap. Plus the theaters are filthy, the floors are sticky, the chairs are broken, the sound sucks, the film is dirty and has hair and dust all over it, and the entire place smells like a locker room. Literally. But hey, it’s only a couple of bucks, right?

Anyway, thanks to my friend Kevin I recently went to another movie theater in Cleveland, about 18 minutes away. This theater is brand new, has very steep stadium seating so you’re sure to have a good view, the largest screens I’ve seen in a non-IMAX theater, nice seats with a headrest, no sticky floors, no odor, good sound, etc. Plus it’s $.50 cheaper than everywhere else in town ($5.00 for matinee, $7.00 for a later showing). So if you live around Hamilton Place, consider going to the one in Cleveland instead. I highly recommend it. I’ve seen 3 movies there in the past two weeks because I don’t have to deal with the hassles of going to the crowded Hamilton Place area, and it’s cheaper and nicer. Before I went to this place I only saw a movie every few months because I just hate dealing with the Hamilton Place area.

Their show times aren’t on movies.yahoo.com or anything, so you’ll have to go to www.uecmovies.com to check for show times.
