Since the Rave was purchased by AMC, it has taken a nose-dive.  We used to drive 30 minutes across town to go to the Rave because of their great staff, service and experience - despite the fact that we have 3 theatres within ten minutes of our home. That isn't going to happen again.\n\nWe went to see a movie - the first in months - on a Saturday night.  There was a crowd, but it wasn't a huge crowd.  The lines moved sooo slowly, we almost missed the beginning of the movie, even though we got there nearly 30 minutes before it started.  \n\nAll of the fun \""extras\"" are gone - including free soda refills and the free popcorn sprinkles (one of my favorite perks). The men's bathroom was out of order, so my husband had to go to the other side of the building to use the men's room - which took him almost 10 minutes when he had to go during the movie.   When we got into the theatre, it was dirty.  There were spilled bags of popcorn and bits of paper and napkin on the floor.  It was not particularly pleasant.\n\nTo add insult to injury, the popcorn was disgusting.  It was warm (barely), but very stale.  I'd asked for new, hot, popcorn, but this is what I got.  I ate less than 1/3 of the small bag before I had to throw it away.
