Oh how Hot Springs needs a new up-to-date cinema. I recently saw “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and while the staff is friendly and they have great popcorn, the film presentation was just terrible. This cinema was built in the early 80’s, way before digital sound. All five auditoriums have DTS and when “Apes” would have a quiet spot, the sound next door from “Cowboys and Aliens” would come rumbling through. I guess was really made me made was that Apes is in 2.35:1 aspect ratio but they had the screen masked off for 1.85:1 so there was a bit of the image on each side that projected on the side walls. I guess they think Hot Springs movie-goes don’t know they difference. I don’t care for 3D films so I haven’t had the chance to see a 2D film in the large, stadium house.

they seem to have changed its name to Hot Springs Mall Cinema according to the website at http://www.btmcinema.com/
One cinema has 3D and Stadium seating and an second cinema has DLP installed.

I’m from Wales UK,I spent two nights in Hot Springs with my wife in 1993, we saw “The Fugitive” at this cinema. I can see why they gave it it’s name, but still it’s a bit of a mouthfull isn’t it ?

Screens should be changed from six to five.

Does anybody know if Cinemark ever operated this place?

I would guess that “Untraceable” and “I Am Legend” share the same auditorium.

This reminds me of one of those logic problems on the LSAT. Four movies are being shown four times a day. Two movies are being shown only twice, which means they fit into the four slots for the fifth and last theater.

On this theaters website, the fourth movie “Untraceable” starts at 4:15. The other movies start at 2:00 or a little after.

That would be a good assumption. I counted six movies playing at the same time on the website, but I would go with the ad.

This is advertised as Behind The Mall 5 Cinema. I would assume from that name that it has five screens.
