11/08/2025: Cinema is a magnificent art, and anyone showing it anywhere deserves five stars. If you're in the Noto area, this, aside from the open-air cinema in Avola, is the only multiplex within an hour's drive.
Nestled in a peripheral area like most of these large structures, we find it proud and well-maintained inside, with comfortable seats even in the smallest theaters. Popcorn and drinks are available, with somewhat obligatory pairings that are typical of these multiplexes, and they're nice and salty enough to make you feel like you're in a typical big movie theater. Complex set lists of new and old releases are the hallmark of a passion for the big screen and its rules.
The theater where we saw Jurassic Park was small, with comfortable seats. I must admit, the sound was decent, and the screen was perhaps too close and lacking in contrast. But friends, long live the cinema that shows it, and we enjoyed the film very well, comfortably, with the volume and colors of a theater, not a cell phone. Thanks to those who work in these facilities and to those who believe in them, even in these seaside resorts, sometimes deprived of this channel of visual culture and entertainment, essential to the healthy culture of a nation.
03/08/2025: My best friend and I grew up in this theater. We've been coming here for almost 15 years. I still remember when it became a multiplex.
They renovated it beautifully, and with the multiplex they managed to offer an excellent program, but it seems like the changes stopped there, years ago...
It's practically the only theater in Syracuse, and it's strange that they still have such small screens and very old seats. It would be amazing if they could put an IMAX screen in Theater 1, considering the enormous space available, including the seats. The world of cinema in general has made great technological progress; abroad, I've had the opportunity to go to several theaters with reclining seats, restaurants inside the theater with a huge selection of snacks, and service directly to the VIP seats. These, on the other hand, have remained stuck in the past.
The sound is often very, very loud, to the point of being disturbing and slightly distorted.
Furthermore, it's truly bizarre that if you book online, you pay more than buying tickets in person.
Years ago, they offered various promotions; with various phone providers, you had access to a certain number of tickets per month, and discounts. I don't think they offer any of these anymore.
The air conditioning sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, which is truly unacceptable in the summer heat in Sicily.
We'll keep coming back because it's the only cinema in Syracuse and for the nostalgic feel. It would be nice to see some updates after all these years.
