Unfortunately, they’ve updated how ordering works and it’s phone based now so people are using their phones during the movie :(

Yeah I still like them over other theaters but I hate that decision. It’s made worse by the fact that they haven’t implemented Apple/google pay so you have to type in the full credit card info every time.
I spoke with a server when they first started doing that and they told me that they were also supposed to speak with guests as little as possible. The servers are often movie lovers so I miss being able to talk about the movie before the show. Fuckin’ Sony.
I was gonna say that it fucking sucked the last time I went there and everyone was on their phones the entire time.
On the other hand, I went to a drive in theater and watched a movie in the trunk of my car with my wife, while people's kids ran around the parking lot playing. That was genuinely fun.
See that's kind of the same for me. I think it's all about expectations vs reality.
Drive in theater - I expect all that, expect the audio to be whatever because it's my car speakers, expect kids and people running around, expect some noise and chaos. It's annoying when people leave their car lights on though or headlights and don't realize it.
Movie theater - dark AF, phones are distracting as hell because my eyes can't ignore a giant bright light appearing out of nowhere and you're at the goddamn movie theater. Turn your phone off. If you can't keep your phone off for the duration of a movie or live theater show then do not go for the love of God.
Just inconsiderate assholes ruining it for others.
