This blog post will cover the cost difference in the
normal Angelika movie ticket and the discounted movie ticket offered by the
Comet Center to students as well as the overall experience of visiting the Angelika.
Cost

Visiting the Angelika normally costs $9.00 (Reading
International Inc., 2007), but buying a ticket with a student discount reduces
the price to $7.50 (UTD Office of Student Affairs, n.d.). Additionally, at the
Angelika on Sundays, there’s a Walking Dead showing that offers free admittance.
Angelika charges $4.25 for a small drink, as well as
higher prices overall for food. Angelika is another theater where I would eat
before or after elsewhere and just come for the movie.
Traveling to the Angelika by car from the University
of Texas at Dallas’s campus takes 15 minutes. Angelika is also accessible by
bus, with the travel time increasing to 1 hour and 19 minutes. (Google, 2013.)

Angelika’s exterior presents a modern look with its
sleek wording while hinting at old theaters by showing the currently playing
movie titles above the door. Angelika’s register for tickets is outside and
staffed, displaying the available movies, which had current movies with a few
old titles. Once inside, the Angelika’s interior looks bright and seemingly
crowded by the staircases and escalators immediately in one’s vision. Upstairs
shows Angelika’s large chandeliers as well as where food can be bought.

Angelika offers, “TV and the Angelika,” which shows
a live stream of the newest Walking Dead episodes on a theater screen with
other people just as hyped to see what will happen; other shows are available
as well (Reading International Inc., 2007). Angelika also provided zombie
themed shirts after the showing, a nice bonus to take home. They also offer
After Hours showings, which plays films in the theater not typically seen at
other locations, such as “Pan’s Labrinth,” “Aliens,” “Scanners,” (Reading
International Inc., 2007) and more.
With a welcoming environment and opportunities to
watch old films and show streams as well as movies, Angelika makes a great theater,
especially with the student discount.
