While dating in the Ukraine you will want to take your lady out and about to show her a good time. Dinner and live theatre (Kiev has an excellent theatre and symphony) are always excellent choices but if you want the treat of a life time take her to a movie.
The movie theatres in the Ukraine are an experience unto themselves.
First, when you purchase a ticket to the theatre you are purchasing a seat and not just an entry into the theatre. For that reason you will be able to select the seat and the row you want to sit in.
Second, most theatre have very little airconditioning so don’t expect the sub zero temperatures that you get in some of the USA theatres.

Third, the cost of the ticket is not reduced because you are in the Ukraine. Expect to fork over the going USA rate.
Fourth, expect to get FRESHLY popped popcorn but bottled soda water. Of all my theatre going only one theatre in Kiev had fountain soda. (Don’t expect the Big Gulp holder built into the seat like we have in the USA so plan on holding your drink throughout the film).
Fifth, the seating in the theatre is large and comfortable but don’t look for the rocking chairs that we have in the USA. (Most of the theatres I attended reminded me of meeting halls for the KGB because they had a stage under the screeen. I always felt like the theatre was a converted building rather than an original theatre building).

Six, there will be no sub-titles in English. If you don’t understand Russian then pick a movie that is going to have sufficient action that you can follow the events without translation. I have seen Oceans 13, Pirates of the Carribean, National Treasure and Stardust. As you can expect Stardust which has a lot of physical comedy was very enjoyable although I didn’t understand a word of what was spoken.
Seventh, go to the bathroom at your flat before leaving for the theatre. I have attended theatres in both Kiev and Zaporojie and both had holes in the ground (see picture in this post) if your bathroom detail included more than urination. The first time I saw this I couldn’t fiqure out what I was suppose to do or what I was suppose to pull to clean up afterwards. As such, my physcial needs made the movie much longer than it actually was. (While on the subject of bathrooms you will find that in your flat the toilets have their own room. This is pretty common in the Ukraine. If the toilet paper in your flat is the sand paper kind it is not that softer tissue is not available but rather it is more expensive. I always stock up on the Ukraine Charmin equivalent on my first day in town).
Hope this helps you in the theatre. Like in the USA they frown on carry in candy and I never wanted to push the subject since a usher is present throughout the film in many theatres. However, we always stop and get a Hot Dog at the outside vendor (Ukraine hot dogs can be bought at most kiosk and are excellent. I particular enjoy the carrot shavings and Ukraine mustard on mine) and finish it off while standing in the lobby.
Eight, relax, laugh and learn to enjoy the ambiance
