I posted this on Yelp earlier:
4 stars
This is one of the best bargains in the Inland Empire. While Terra Vista 6 Cinemas may show its age with its non-stadium-style seating, non-digital projection, and non-3D screenings, it also shows its age in admission prices: $5 before 5pm, $7 after 5pm, seven days a week.
Terra Vista offers first-run films, so there’s no need to wait to see the latest blockbuster at a discounted price. And while your date won’t be impressed by the theater’s lack of amenities, they’ll be impressed by your sound economic decision: a Saturday night movie at Terra Vista is $14 for two, while down the street at AMC, the same film will set you back $23. Take that $9 savings and splurge on the concession-stand fare or enjoy an after-movie snack to celebrate your financial acumen.
Note: Terra Vista occasionally runs special programming. In the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards, they usually show all of the Best Picture nominees. Next Wednesday (12/17/11) they’re showing Elf. This makes me smile. Smiling’s my favorite.
