While the Angel Theatre had plenty of charm, the place was disgusting! The lobby had no trash cans and there was miscellaneous stuff scattered everywhere. The bathrooms looked like they had not been cleaned that day. The theater seats were covered in who knows what, tables and cup holders were disgusting. Not sure how this happens but even the movie screen was filthy! You could see the dirt and water marks running down the screen. To top it off the staff looked like they hated their job. The place got busy and there was only 1 person helping. This theater has so much potential but seriously lacks management or owner direction! This place looks like it hasn't had a thorough cleaning in a long time! I felt so gross and grungy afterwards I couldn't wait to take a shower.

Pulled up expecting a little Disney magic. Got a museum exhibit from 1999. But the staff? Absolute…read moreangels. The VR is honestly the main problem. The graphics are not "retro charming." They're "did this render on a calculator." It's giving PS1. It's giving early Tomb Raider triangles. Pointy mountains. Flat water. Characters moving like they're buffering. I kept waiting for it to level up and it never did. It felt less like immersive VR and more like I paid to watch someone's unfinished game demo in a headset. And that's what makes it frustrating. The seats and the setup scream "this is about to be Soarin'." Like Disney California Adventure. Wind. Depth. Realism. That feeling where your stomach drops and you forget you're in a room. Instead I got "high tech seats" attached to low-tech visuals. Like putting a spoiler on a Prius and calling it a race car. The experience is clunky too. The motion doesn't match the visuals well enough to sell the illusion. So you're not transported. You're just... aware. Aware of the headset. Aware of the chair. Aware you spent real money to time travel backwards in graphics history. This should be breathtaking. It's barely "interesting." It's the kind of VR where you start roasting it mid-ride. Quietly. To yourself. Like, "oh wow, look at that polygon. She's thriving." If there was a "skip cutscene" button, I would've pressed it with my soul. Now here's the twist. The staff is the best part of the entire place. Super helpful. Genuinely kind. Patient. They felt bad that the VR wasn't hitting and you could tell they were trying to make it right with hospitality alone. That's rare. They're the reason I'm not giving this place a full villain edit. Restrooms were decently cleaned. Not sparkling, but respectable. Minus a couple moments that made me wash my hands like I was prepping for surgery. Bottom line. Come with zero expectations for the VR. Like subterranean expectations. If they ever upgrade the content, this could be amazing. Right now it's a tech tease with bargain-bin visuals. Staff deserves a raise for carrying the whole thing on their backs. It's giving... Avatar prices with Minecraft graphics. It's giving... Soarin' from Temu.

Not once did anybody tell me hey I'm sorry ma'am, but we're closing and that the people in front of you were the last ones we were going to help, no communication , lack of communication and customer service.

I was worried they would sell out knowing they only have one screen and show one movie. When it comes to pricing, the tickets are about the same price as big chain movie theater tickets nowadays. I paid $65 for 4 tickets. Upon walking in, you'll see that this place is small!. Once you walk in the front door, you're basically seeing all there is to see! I do love that old-fashioned, family-owned feeling though. We got a large popcorn to share ($8) and got butter and cheesy seasoning before walking in to grab some seats. As expected, there were lots of teenagers and younger people watching the movie, and they were a bit rowdy. Seats are comfortable and no complaints about the viewing experience overall. Tips: We were lucky that our hotel was right next door so timing wasn't a big issue, but I would definitely recommend coming 15-20 minutes before the movie starts so you can grab some good seats.
