We practically had the tiny theartre to ourselves. The picture and sound were clear. Price for seniors was $8. Price for everyone for first showing of the day is $6. Price is $11 for 3D. Workers polite.

This is a cozy little cinema. It can be easily seen from a vehicle moving in normal traffic. Free parking is readily available. I watched The Avengers: End Game in 3D. The price was reasonable for a Friday night. The concession stand serve popcorn, sodas, water and stuff. The restroom was very clean. The staff are very courteous and helpful.

Good small theater with about 5 up to date movies showing at all times. When the other big theaters are sold out, this is the out of the way theater where you can catch the new movie with little or no crowds. They have a small concession stand that has the regular movie items needed to enjoy the show. I only hope tbey can survive and stay open for a long time without the big name franchises taking over. In this case, small is good.

Staff told us the showtime was canceled even though they still had it on google cuz not enough people showed up to the previous one. Waste of time.

You will be able to watch the movie. You wont spend almost $20 on a ticket its affordable. I use to love running to this place. Whenever a big movie came out and the big theatres was sold out you knew u could watch it hear until 1 day I dropped my keys and use the light on my cell phone. The seat were so filthy and dirty I just couldnt sit down. I then said let me look for another seat and every seat looked like someone peed on it or spilled juice mad times and the seat had never been cleaned. All of these nasty stains! Before this moment I wouId visit in the past and sit down comfortably. But after what I saw I just wanted to jump in the shower immediately.i then went to the front where they serve food and asked for a garbage bag. I sat on a garbage bag and since then I have never went back. I rather stay home and miss the movie then deal with those nasty seats. Renovate those seats

Said they werent showing the movie I wanted to see because not enough people came to the first showing. Also the manager was very rude.

The price is the best part. The actual theater is pretty bad. The speaks sound like a sound bar, no surround sound. My last visit, it smelled like a zoo. The staff is polite and very social. Its not very crowded, Ive visited on numerous occasions and was the one patron in the theater. In conclusion, if you want to go to a very no frills theater, this is it.

Cheap, simple, not usually packed, sodas, popcorn, icees, & cotton candy. They dont have food food, but theres a cheap pizza place right next door that does the trick. Definitely recommend for constant movie goers.

If you are trying to find a movie theater for the best price this is it. Dont expect anything else. Nachos I ordered were stale couldnt get them, even my Lil ones said they tasted wierd, the worst part was the manager had a really nasty attitude and very poor service the other staff were more friendly. It definitely will not be on my list of local places I usually try to support.

Please do not waste your money here. The seats are covered in some unknown gunk, the bathrooms are revolting. There are roaches and overall the place is distasteful.

Closed early instead of honoring showtimes posted on their own website. Workers dont seem to care about their business. Could use improvements on many fronts. 2 stars because of fair pricing.

This Cinemas is very small but cozy. Located near few other shopping center. If you prefer a more intimate place to watch a movie then go there. But if you more about the big crowd then not the place for you...

Never again. I was afraid. I bought the tickets and felt disgusted. It is really cheap. I think they only offer like 3 movies at a time.

If youre all about the finer things in life this place is not for you. Its a small theater, very old very cozy looks like it hasnt been updated since maybe the early nineties. But they have the movies you want to see when they come out for half the price of other theaters near by. $8 or $11 for 3d and a dollar less for children. Some occasions may warrent spending extra on reclining seats and a dine in theater but at this price we can afford to see more movies more often and were supporting local businesses. The more we watch movies here the more money theyll have to pay the people who work there. Great place for the price point and in the walking distance from my house

We was watching Avengers and something hit my foot. I thought I was crazy, then a mouse jumped on my thigh. I jumped up so fast and ran out of there. Nastiest theater I have ever been to in my entire life. Of course they gave us our money back!

Review №28

It used to be a great place to go see a movie and used to have games and cheap Tuesdays soon they stopped selling popcorn tubs and souvenir cups took away the crane game and the driving game, renamed their place and then again. place looks too dull to even go see a movie there. Granted, its not expensive but Id rather see movies in theaters with reclining chairs.

My favorite place to go with the kids. Movies are super affordable, yes place is older, but staff is super nice, all the new movies and super cheap snacks.. Please dont come and pay 8 dollars and expect AMC reclining chairs!!!

This is a family theatre in a great neighborhood. The theatre always has the latest movies. I saw Star Wars yesterday and I did not have to wait in a long line. The popcorn is great and the staff is friendly. I love having a neighborhood movie theatre five minutes from my home. The ladies bathroom needs a face lift...otherwise my favorite theatre on Long Island..Thanks...

Its not the most modern place but it serves its purpose for movies .The good thing is that its never really crowded although I wish they would fix some aspects of their building to improve the overall look.In terms of punctuality sometime there are some delays with the schedule time .but hey you get what you pay for

I rated the theatre 4 stars because I love the giant screens but the service is unsurpassed largely due to the courtesy of one Mr.Clinton Barkley. I was seen entering the theatre and this gentleman assisted me safely inside due to the fact that Im slightly handicapped. He also helped me to my seat and helped me outside to the pharmacy across the parking lot. Congratulations to the company for hiring such considerate employees!

I like this place in that it is small, cheap, and you will always find seats. The snack prices are good too, the bathroom is clean from what I saw, but it could improve a lot more. They should get those modernized popcorn machines.

Review №43

To be completely honest the theater itself, including aesthetics, food, etc, absolutely ridiculous...in the bad way. My girlfriend and I went to see Logan tonight and we almost passed it thats how small this place is. Pretty sure the pizzeria next door has a bigger sign in front. Personally I could careless for candy, and popcorn, Im not there for the experience, Im there for the movie, so I was surprised when the cashier said it was $16 total for both of us. We were so shocked we thought he said $60 and we almost handed him 3 twenties. The movie theater is definitely way behind itself. It could definitely use a ton of reworking and upgrades but never the less we got to see a decent movie for less than 20 bucks

Review №51

This is not only the best movie theatre for lovers in the Long Island area, it may just be the most erotic place to catch new releases in the whole Western Hemisphere. The decor is sensual, boasting many fully functioning seats per room and tastefully home-printed signs on the marquis advertising features. As of early April 2017, the lobby boasts cardboard displays of vintage 2016 blockbusters such as the classic TJ Miller/Jennifer Anniston joint, Office Christmas Party, cultivating an air of tender nostalgia for simpler times.You and your lovers (or children) will find yourself enraptured in the magic of the silver screen as you enter one of the many showrooms, each with a fully functioning color screen and audio-- perfect for watching movies. When you exit this hallowed place after viewing a feature, you will have no doubt that love is real. Two thumbs WAY UP. ;)

Review №53

Small, local cinemas with very limited movies and accommodations. Prices are definitely good at $8 a ticket on a Saturday night, however a large slush at $4.25 looked like a small, so it is give and take. The theaters are small (40-60 ppl max)with similar screens. Overall it was an OK experience and would only come back if I did not feel like going far to the theaters.

Review №58

This is a very nice place I feel as if I am at home sitting down in a rocking chair. I feel like they need to upgrade the chairs a little bit bcuz I feel the chair against my rear end and I can see that it feels a bit uncomfortable. The popcorn was a bit dry and we put butter into it i was not feeling it yesterday when I watched Jurassic Park. But I like the thought how they give u the best funniest most kindest staff ever!!!!! If you need help they r there. I also feel like they shouldn’t lock the doors when watching the movie just in case if someone needs to use the bathroom or if there is a trespasser. Other than that they prices r fantastic most loving people there and the most kindest ppl go there to watch some movies. I feel like the place is small bcuz the movie place is for like couple of people coming for a night out not a whole party of 16 ppl watching a movie this place of fair and a fantastic place to hang out with a couple of friends (about five) a great place just to watch a good movie! ;) Going to this most fun and great cinema is the best it makes me feel like I can come and watch many movies in that same day. Just because I am just a kid doesn’t mean my review doesn’t matter because as if for this review I bet it will convince others to see how great a place it is. I mean it does need a little upgrade but it is a very great place to go to!

I got to say the prizes impressed me but it was so tiny. Grease on the walls, broken seats, and small screen. It was the size of my garage! The popcorn was nasty too. Butter and not no difference! The place had few people there who were talking loud but I could hear the noisy squeaky chair noise over it! Avoid this place.

If youre looking for a completely uninterrupted movie experience (i.e., inconsiderate people texting during the movie, talking, et. al.) this is the theater you want to patronize! The building is dated and their bathrooms need to be renovated; however, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I cant say much about the refreshments as I dont often purchase these items before a movie. (BYOBB b!tches...Lol!!) Overall, it is clean and very much worth the lesser amount you would normally have to pay at the larger theaters.
