    Our friends met to see Michael and while it was a nice theater with your typical prices, we were expecting nicer seats. They do not recline at all and they are tight to get around others. Overall good service and cleanliness.

    Very nice movie theater, clean and all you can expect from a Regal movie theater

    Tickets and food are expensive. Seats are tiny and crowded into the theater. They’re fitting in more seats than what’s comfortable within the space. Ontop of this the cost is over the top and you’re paying for less.

    How is it that one of the slowest theatres Oviedo has recliners but Waterford doesn’t? This I am confused about. Movie was good tho

    The staff hasn’t always been the kindest to my friends and I. I even had a worker raise her voice at me. But the theater its self is super big and has a lot of options for movies.

    Me and my kids took a visit to the theater this Memorial Day weekend to see the new Starwars movie on Saturday evening. The theatre was absolutely disgusting and the floors were very sticky. The bartender during the evening took forever with my drink around 945pm. She seemed quite dismissive and rude, not to mention confused. I didnt have a problem at first, but I was already frustrated with my movie watching experienceand was hoping things would be quicker. I am a frequent customer at this location and I am disappointed with the cleanliness and customer service I was given.
