Really like the touch screens in the lobby to check immediate availability of tickets or book ahead ... Nice waiting area (though a... More

If you are planning to visit Escape because its from Sathyam, please do not. The place is good but add the price of food within Escape and parking charges at EA and you end up paying a lot more than you planned for.

Excellent infrastructure.. Still lacks something that Sathyam Cinemas has.. May be it is the ridiculous parking fee that is being collected here... But still... The second best cinemas in the city right behind Sathyam..

Without a doubt the standard against which any other movie complex is judged by - whether seating, screens, sound system, food and ambiance, staff and last but not least the wash rooms there is no place like the Ecape Cinemas. A pleasure to go to one of the cinemas and I visit one pretty often

We watch a lot of movies and of all the theaters we've watched them in, this is the best. Great seats, screens, sound and food. Wish there were more like these.
