Bad decisions

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Bought tickets, canceled within an hour, and did not receive a refund.
  • - Cannot reach a real person and will not use this company again.

Bought tickets an hour later I had to cancel and I never got my refund. I am super upset and will never go through this company again.

Can't find a real person to talk to and realistically it should be illegal for a company to just take your money.

I dont know what to do from here. But I know i will never again buy movie tickets online with this company.

Keep getting automated service which can't help me. I need to speak to a person.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Automated support couldn't resolve issues; I needed a human agent.
  • - Waiting for a callback and frustrated with AI-based customer service.

I was listening to whole music the whole time. I got an automated service which wanted me to talk to it but it could not resolve my issue so I needed to talk to a person.

While the whole music played, a system came on to express that it could say my place with a call back. So now I have to wait for the call to come through.

I'm getting quite irritated with this company and their customer service! Everything that has a problem cannot be resolved using AI and these companies better get with it if they want consumers to continue spend their money!

Preferred solution: I want the perks I'm entitled to as a movie club member

You take my money every month and give me 1 ticket when I should have about 8 to 9 hundred dollars' worth of credits. Where are my credits? I've been paying since before the movie happened.

Loss:

Cons:
  • There no one to speak too the membership is a fraud

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don't get the membership. It's a rip off

Disruptive Guests

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cinemark - Disruptive Guests

I unfortunately wanted to report an issue during the Wicked showing tonight. My boyfriend and I were seated next to two guests who were extremely disruptive talking full voice, yelling, singing, using their phones on full blast, and even reenacting scenes.

We reported them twice.

Security came the first time but didnt speak to them, and the guests only stayed quiet while security stood there. As soon as the employee left, they started right back up. My boyfriend politely asked them to keep it down and we got ignored and they continued being loud. We reported it again, and although the employee gave them a verbal warning, the behavior continued.

They also left a huge mess behind (spilled popcorn and trash all over their seats).

The situation completely affected our experience and we didnt get to enjoy the movie. It didnt feel like the staff handled the issue effectively.

I wanted to report this so it can be addressed. Thank you in advance.

Loss:
$50
Pros:
  • Plays awesome movies
Cons:
  • Do not take disruptive guest reports seriously

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Keep bothering the staff and reporting disruptive guests so that you don’t have to put up with their behavior for the entirety of the movie and ruin your experience.

Trashy and disgusting. Rude manager and employees.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The theater was dirty with trash overflowing in screen 1.
  • - Staff were inattentive; the manager kicked us out for taking photos and we won't return.
Updated by user May 13, 2025

I called corporate office twice. I've left messages and emails regarding the management at the river Rancho mirage, CA location but no responses or replies.

It's very sad that corporate does not care what is going on. We will not go to their movie theaters ever again.

Original review Apr 27, 2025
We use to love coming here. It use to be so clean throughout, even the bathrooms.

The customer service use to be great. It use to be the only movie theater we would go to. I even met my friends here. Well after this last Saturday, I WILL NEVER GO BACK.

Not only was the staff discourtious, lazy, and not working, but the General Manager, Brian Steven's, was THE worst manager I have come across in my years of law enforcement and business. 30 minutes prior to our movie starting, these young 5 employees decided to congregate in the open, front area, beyond the ticket person, in the theater screen area before the hallway, outside screen #1. They were laughing, playing, and talking, as the carpets under them and around them were filled with trash and popcorn all over the floor. This was the worst I have EVER seen this place.

It looked as if none of these 5 had cleaned any of it all day long. We were due for a movie to start on 30 mins and our theater was trashed. Yes I have photos and I was kicked out for taking photos of the work they were not doing, which says alot about their management and staff. Theater #1 had trash overflowing from the trash can, piled high, and overflowing onto the floor beneath it.

This trash can inside screen #1 was so bad that you could tell this was not from just the screening before. Which tells me these 5 employees are not being monitored and that the manager isn't doing his job and promotes non-working activities and socialization. Brian, never listened to our side. Instead, he kicked us out of the theater saying we could not take photos for evidence to provide to his Corporate Office.

This tells me he is aware of what is happening and does not want Corporate to know. Shame on him and shame on these 5 that are getting paid to do a job and not doing it. We tried asking the front desk for help and the young female there ignored our requests and said they were busy. We showed her a picture of them not being busy and she reported us for taking the photo.

Quite concerning. We will not go back Brian, but now people will know the truth.

Thank you for throwing out good customers. We won't be back to your trashy place.
Pros:
  • Great location
Cons:
  • Extremely filthy and rude management and staff

Preferred solution: Correct how you as manager and your employees treat your customers. Photos are allowed as long as we are not recording movies. Know your city ordinances and laws. It's a public place. If you don't want photos, then clean your establishment.

User's recommendation: Don't go

Communication with cinemark

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I reported via the online form but got no response.
  • - I reported again, received an automatic reply, and the refund is confirmed.

I initially reported through the online form, but since there was no response at all, and I was quite frustrated, I decided to use Pissedconsumer.com. Immediately after, I reported again through the online form, and I quickly received an automatic reply.

Despite it being the weekend, I then received a direct email from customer service promising a refund and to negotiate with the relevant management team to resolve the issue.

The refund has already been confirmed. I look forward to seeing if the problem is resolved next time.

Is anybody there? Ever?

AI Highlights
  • - Calls were made across days seeking help.
  • - Each call had long holds with no one answering.
  • - Greeting says help is coming, but no one answers.

Several calls made on multiple days to get assistance. Extensive hold times(over 40 minutes each call) and nobody answers.

You only get a greeting saying someone will be with you but nobody ever answers the line. Very frustrating especially after trying several times a day for multiple days.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Problem eliminated

Original review Mar 06, 2025

For some unknown reason, adverts via email from Cinemark, once received contained links that were all blocked. A huge X appeared if any link on the Cinemark advertisement was touched.

Also if one tapped Reply, that prompted a dead email address. So it was impossible to address problem thru cinemark.

  • - Trying to access Cinemark's site but it's blocked with no explanation.
  • - The user wonders why they are blocked and what was done.

I am trying to get on the website of Cinemark, but it keeps saying I've been blocked for some reason, and I don't know what and why it says that. Is there something that I did or something that it thinks that I didn't do?

Preferred solution: Unblocked on the website
