My wife and I have patronized Cinema City throughout our almost 2 decades in Connecticut because, unlike its multiplex competition, it consistently shows films worth seeing, films that are thought-provoking and artful.
The visual appearance of the theater is not particularly important — there are very few attractive multiplexes. Nor is the sound system a problem. The films this theater shows are not of a type that rely on special effects for their impact. The key is to maintain a safe parking lot and clean, comfortable seats.
While it is likely that the new Criterion complex at Blue Back will siphon off some of Cinema City’s clientèle, it is likely to be expensive. Perhaps Cinema City, with its free parking and relatively low overhead, could best compete by featuring quality at a lower price.
