Reading Cinemas Grossmont with TITAN XC 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942

"I've been going to this theater for probably over fifteen years, it has always been my go to theater because of fair pricing especially for Titan showings, and a good location. I'm a father of three young kids and my wife and I have very few opportunities to get a babysitter and go out for a movie night, maybe only a couple of times per year. Last night was one of those nights, we were both excited to have a date night and go see the new Dune movie. Unfortunately, just a few minutes into the film starting we saw that a huge hair was on the projector lens or glass and it went across half the screen. At first it was funny, and we thought we would just go out to let them know about it and fix it. After asking several times, and seeing other movie goers asking for it to be fixed, nothing was done. We had a huge distracting hair across half the screen the entire movie. I'm extremely disappointed that the staff just ignored multiple requests to fix this, and that one of our few movie nights of the year was dampened by something so easily fixed."

"Lots of formats, clean theaters. Seats in cinema 1 could be more comfortable, but they're OK enough. 70 mm and TitanXC options are cool, giving the option of comparing different presentation formats for some films."

"Workers were very nice, had a variety of different foods which I love and their 70mm showing of Tenet was great!!! Would love to come back if there are more 70mm showings for other movies!!!"

"This theater is a fun old school palace of a place with a big snack bar serving the usual fare and some alcohol. Saw the Barbie movie twice here and Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX. The seats in all three theaters I was in are a bit soft but the bathrooms were large and clean considering the crowds. Oppenheimer was very loud but nothing that a couple of ear plugs couldn't fix. Parking is plentiful all around the Grossmount Center and theater is accessible from a mall corridor attached to parking lots."

"A couple dollars cheaper than most theaters but it's mostly a gross experience, I am surprised this place has been shut down. The original ticket booth and replacement mall side are shut down and tickets are dealt from inside on the back side of the ticket booth. Concessions are average, but no special frills. Layout. The original entrance on the parking side leaves a huge open area in the middle with Nothing in it. It would serve well as a concessions area or maybe a bar but currently is just an empty space, doesn't even have a bench. Seating is small uncomfortable chairs but average 30 years ago. The biggest downside is its broken, unkempt, messy appearance. Seriously clean the carpets once please. Final evaluation, good if you need cheap tickets but mostly stay away you will most likely get sick or bed bugs or something from this gross looking location."
