I go to the movies about 5-6 times a month. I'm addicted. I actually love this movie theater. Yes there's talking because unless they pay 30 people to sit in every single one of their showings for the entire film they can't catch everyone. I've seen groups of kids thrown out who we're trying to movie hop. I've also seen ushers escort talkers out of the theater and get police assistance if needed.
I haven't noticed a huge safety problem, but I usually go on weekdays, or before noon to get $5.00 tickets. :) I go to the movies to enjoy myself so if someone is whispering I'm pretty good at either tuning it out, but if it's consistent I just tell Guest Services, and they're usually pretty good at handling it. There was a time when they couldn't catch the people actually talking so they let me stay and finish the movie, and gave me a free pass to come back and see it again or watch another... They have multiple managers, and I can agree that some seem too busy to help, but usually if I go to the Service area they take their time to hear me out. Prices are similar to average theaters in Houston. If you want it cheap go in the AM. Sometimes you can even get a whole theater to yourself :)
