Re: CaptiView in the Movies

[Guest guest]

Howdy from Texas! I have used the Capitview at Cinemark in the Dallas Fort

Worth area (West Plano and LBJ locations). Gave Cinemark feedback via the web

several times with NO responses. Tried to give suggestions and express thanks

but very frustrating with no response. If someone has a contact or email for

Cinemark, please let us know.

The viewer worked fine. The problems have been weak battery or transmitter not

on in the theatre. Saw THE HELP as well - good movie.

I love captiview. It is so much better than rear view. You don't have to move

it if you move.

Captiview is available in California at Century theaters, and there are

plenty of those around here. Since they appeared, I've really been

enjoying being able to go to any movie I want on any day. Open captioned

and Rearview Captioned movies are far more limited.

Captionfish is a good way to find captioned movies in your area, as they

list all sorts: captiview, open captioned, rearview, and even subtitled

foreign language films.

When my friend and I went to go see contangion, we didn't realize that was the

first day to see contagion with captiview. We were shock that we can watch

movies now came out the first day. There a lot of movies that you can choose

from at this theater. Now we can go watch any movies that came out the first

day. It nice to not have to wait till it comes out with rear view. It a hassle

with rearview. It takes up to a 3 weeks to a month after they came out till we

can watch it with rear view.

This is in Oklahoma city.
