Showcase Cinemas Worcester North

First, I called ahead to make sure they had the closed caption glasses and that they would have one charged for the showing and time I planned on attending. It was not. The manager complained that he was the only one on and never had time to plug it in. (About 20 people were in the theater lobby. Not a crowd.) Next issue... They brag loudly and extensively about their adaptive equipment but when it comes down to it the technology is grossly inferior. Closed caption glasses display a microscopic print on only one eye. (In my case, my blind eye) Two other options offered are headphones which interfere with hearing aid use. The other option is the device that inserts into the cup holder. This device causes the viewer to be constantly looking back and forth from the screen down to the CC screen. Not to mention that these devices have to be held up because they never stay in the cup holder as intended. I give the manager credit for refunding our money for the movie which I couldn't hear because of their inferior equipment.

I’ve been to this theatre quite a lot. It’s pretty outdated, and could definitely use some upgrades. The staff is always nice though the place feels a bit dead inside. I’ve only ever had one experience where the film melted half way through (My first showing of Avatar of all things) they gave us a ticket to come back and see it again. (I saw it all in all 2 and 1/2 times in theaters) There’s not as much of a crowd here as other theaters which I prefer to see movies with as little of a crowd as possible. The concession stand is a joke and a waste of money. Over all worth it to see major movies with a bit more personal space.

Well this is a fairly standard cinema, it does have a few perks. The first and most prominent is that it shows a large amount of Niche movies, such as Christian films that other Cinemas skip due to low General appeal. It also has a excellent location, though there is little immediately next to it

Very spacious. Plenty of leg room in the theaters. They also offer tools for the audio and visually impaired. Hadn't been there in years and place still looked like new and is very well maintained. File were clear and audio was good.

Convenient and spacious multi-screen cinema ticks all the boxes for what one might expect. A good place to check out first run movies in major release. Good sound and comfortable seating. The popcorn is generally cool and a bit stale... we just skip it these days and they lack off peak pricing discounts.
