ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

MOVIE THEATERS in ESCAZU, Costa Rica

MOVIE HINTS:
MOST movies are in English with Spanish sub-titles BUT their websites are only in Spanish so you can “highlight, Copy and Paste and go to the websites are in Spanish so bring up a Translate site if you need it.  I like http://translate.google.com ).

Wednesdays in Costa Rica are
about 1/2 PRICE DAY*!!!  
Most movies don't start till around 2pm weekdays and noon-ish on weekends (except when the kids are out of school)

NOVA CINEMAS
(2-299-7666)
Costa Rica has a NEW, REALLY NICE, 8 screen theatre with the MOST COMFORTABLE chairs in Costa Rica!!! 
Nova Cinema even has Costa Rica's first (and only) iMax Theatre and 2 REALLY AWESOME VIP Theatres with a luxurious Lounge

MATINEES (the first showing during the week)  -  2,300-c
•   D-BOX  -  Cinemark even has a theatre designated (I need to check into it if it's a theatre with all seats - or just some seats - 12 Chairs in the BACK
as it looks like with the D-Box system that gives motion to your chair during those types of movies (one of which was for "San Andreas" about a 9.0 earthquake in California [to actually experience what that feels like could really freak one out!  I KNOW it would me having lived through numerous California and Costa Rica earthquakes!!!])  (Adults - 7,500-c

• Seniors & Kids - 7,100-c)  •   Plus they have Real D and 3D (Adults - 4,100-c • Seniors & Kids - 3,700-c) and regular screens (Adults - 2,900-c • Seniors & Kids - 2,300-c). 

You can also ORDER TICKETS ONLINE:
NOTE:  You can ONLY do this via INTERNET EXPLORER 10.
Note there is a 150-c Service Charge•Convenience Fee attached to each ticket ordered online.
•  Select the movie you want.
•  Seleccionar Butacas = Select Seats
•  Then it takes you to Seat Selection but be WARNED - they ONLY give you 5 MINUTES to choose which seat.  Brown are seats that are ALREADY reserved (meaning all the others are open) so just click your cursor on to the seat you desire and it will turn Green.  NOTE - a couple times I tried doing this for just 1 seat, they wouldn't allow me to select a seat where there was 1 seat empty in between but it wouldn't even let me take 1 of 2 empty seats for the D-Box seat.  If all they have left is 1 or 2 seats - you HAVE to be ordering 2 seats. Hmmm!!
