Ive been to this theater three times since its reopened after the Covid shutdown and I have had great experiences. They have been playing retro movies for $2 like Harry Potter and Jurassic Park as well as new release movies for $4.50-7.50. Two times we had the theater completely to ourselves, and one of those times was for a new release movie on a Friday afternoon (Tenet). You can buy tickets online but there is a surcharge and they ask you to print out your tickets. They have a lot of food options besides popcorn including burgers, fries, and funnel cake sticks. They have the Coke freestyle machines but you cant get refills right now due to the pandemic. The reclining chairs are great and they are practicing good social distancing. I hope they can stay in business because this place is affordable and convenient.

I love this theatre, Ive been coming here since I was little and if it ever goes out of business I will kill myself. It has gone through some tough times. I think it converted into an Indian movie theatre at one point. They just showed Bollywood movies. Then it switched back to regular movies. Theyre all movies that are in their last run, and theyre very cheap. Its great to catch a movie here if its no longer playing in other theaters. The screens are awesome and the seating is also great.

PS recently in March made some upgrades or some may consider it a downgrade! They raised the ticket price from $2.50-3.50 to $4.50-7.25 and now show newer movies! I liked their old model of the older movies and the price was great! They do have reclining seats which are really nice. The concessions are reasonable I normally just get a slushy and popcorn and it’s around $13. As for the cleanliness the theater seating area tends to get a little dirty as the day goes on! I recommend going to any show before 6pm for the cheaper price and it not being as crowded!

Great prices, friendly staff, reclining chairs. Sometimes a screen will have a noticeable defect, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Saw a great movie - Ford v Ferrari. Popcorn was fresh. Seats comfortable and good sound. Price per ticket was $3 less than other chains. Conversion of this theater to better compete has been well done.

Im jot totally sure how this place stays in business, but its very cool to watch first-run movies at a discount. Come on a weeknight and its all but deserted. They make their money on the concessions, so be sure to buy a hot dog or something. Keep this place going! Comfy recliners, great picture, good sound, no complaints!

Inexpensive tickets, retro movie theater look, decently priced snacks, and now theyre playing newer movies (they used to only have movies that were at their last weeks in theaters). Great place to take the kids and save a ton on tickets.

Great prices! Good selection of current movies out. Comfy chairs that recline. Disgusting bathroom! So grimy im sure it hasnt been cleaned in a month. Over all, the place is dirty.

Review №16

Great prices, friendly and helpful concession staff. Our only issue was they sold out of seats to the show we stood in line for. Unfortunately since its a small theatre they only have 1 shower per movie. And their next one would of ended to late for our kids to stay up. So we had to brake our kiddos hearts and come back a week later when we werent busy again.

Review №17

Saw Star Wars Rise of Skywalker. This was not an IMAX 3D experience. If you have high expectations of your theater experience this is not the place for you. The experience was adequate. Small intimate theaters with budget quality sound and viewing. Bathrooms were tidy. You can tell there has been some wear on the entire facility and ownership is making attempts to run a small town theater. Its perfect for the kids but I wouldnt go back to see Star Wars, Top Gun, or any action packed movie.

Review №19

This place is disgusting! I dont come to this theater often but every time I do its filthy but I guess thats why the tickets are so cheap you get what you pay for. I prefer the recliners at Marcus cinemas better anyways, and every time I go there its clean I will be taking my money elsewhere! :)

Review №23

Good experience. Its an older theatre, but they have made some upgrades. Nice leather seats that extend. You can purchase your tickets and seats online, and pick them up at the kiosks near the concessions. $4.50 before 6pm, and $7 after for general admission. Ive noticed they are also starting to show newer movies which is awesome!!!

Great place and the prices are pretty good. My kids like this place . The new chairs are decently comfortable. There not as comfortable as Addison but then again they dont charge as much as they do. My favorite thing about this place is that they serve Coca-Cola products.

First time going here. The staff was super friendly. It did seem like they were understaffed though. Also seemed like some of the customers just didnt care which made the place a little messy. Other than that though the experience was nice. Also the quality of the screen was great as well.

First time weve been to this movie theater and LOVED IT!!! We did go early in the day around noon. And bought 5 tickets for a show. We got 2 large drinks and a tub of popcorn all for under $40.00! Not to mention the amazing seats. Very comfortable and they reclined. From now on this will be the only place we go for movies.

Review №45

Love the newer seats with the extended legs. My kids very much enjoy being able to be comfortable and spread out a little. Although prices better than other theaters, this theater is also quite old other than the chairs. Used to be worth it when the prices were much lower even though the movies were just out of other theaters. I never minded and neither did my family. However since they made them first-run movies and increased the price it is not nearly cheap enough to make it worth it to go to this theater instead. We havent been back since they made the switch. Wish they would switch back!

Nice theater, however, the service is not always good but they do get busy, may need to consider increased staffing. However, sometimes they talk with other employees or walk away when waiting for help, refill popcorn & wanting to get back to our movie. Bathrooms not good either, need upgrades on both fronts. The theater is pretty nice & the recline seats are awesome! Concession & food are great too! We have been going here for many years & will continue!

Review №69

(Since star ratings go by 1s, I cant give this a 3.5 otherwise I would.)When I went to go see Endgame (no spoilers, dont worry!), the door was open for like the first 30 minutes so you can hear people talking in the lobby and someone was courteous enough to close it even though the staff shouldve been the ones to do so. Also, there was an uncomfortable breeze (keep in mind that it was cold outside) in the room which made it inconveniently cold. As far as the seats and viewing experience (in terms of sound and screen) go, it is great and you get MORE than what you pay for. Would highly recommend but just keep in mind that it may not be an /all-around/ great experience.

Review №71

I enjoy the Pricing of new shows and concessions, however, recently i have noticed that they seem to be short staffed so the cleanliness of the theaters and bathrooms are not at their best. Definitely get there early for ticket and concessions if you havent bought your tickets online cause you do both at the counter and it can take awhile.

Review №72

Comfortable recliners in a roomy theater. Better prices than the big theaters. The overall place is much smaller but it has a certain charm that goes along with it. Absolutely will return to this theater many more times.

Review №73

The worst movie theatre experience I have had in a while. The seats were filthy, the popcorn was stale, the projector in the theatre repeatedly glitched during Aladdin, and they raise their ticket prices after 6 for whatever reason.Above all, the employees were absolutely intolerant and rude when I ordered a simple large popcorn.

Like every discount theater, the floor is a little messy, but the seating is new and comfortable (and assigned). They sell hot dogs at the concession stand for $1 if you need a snack for cheap! Favorite spot for a family outing. We eat at olive garden first which is right nearby, then head here for a movie.

Good price ontge ticket and concessions. I was surprised to find assigned seating. It didnt help that Im blind in one eye. Walking in the Theater it was dark to begin with. On a hard time locating the seat numbers and Row numbers.. After 5 minutes I Gave up and found a seat.. Sure Enough someone have A ticket from the seat I was in. I got up looking for An employee to help me and was not able to Find anyone to help me. I Gave up and I Left without Watching a second of the movie I went to see. I should have gone to Stratford Square. Im just going to wait for the movie to come on cable.

Support these guys, not only are they a local business, but they are blowing away the competition when it comes to bang for your buck, you can tell this place has been open for prob 30 years, but they have adapted with the times, offering recliner lounge chairs, in addition to reserved seating!

Review №90

This theater has the potential to be really nice. The reclining seats are comfortable, they are the first theater I’ve been to that got the message to widen the aisles so you can walk past people without bumping into the footrests. Tickets were very inexpensive, concessions were reasonably priced and reasonably good, and the staff we talked to was friendly. That is why I gave them three stars instead of the two it probably deserves. However, the bathrooms were disgusting, the trash bins by the theater doors were overflowing and made it nearly impossible to dispose of your cups and popcorn tubs after the movie, and it’s a good thing we didn’t really NEED staff because it appeared only 3 people were working in the entire theater (which probably played a part in why it was so filthy). My husband mentioned many reviewers had said that, due to the lack of a ticket taker, they didn’t bother paying for tickets but just walked in and watched movies. I would imagine that also contributes to the lack of effort to keep things clean. People who aren’t paying to use the theater aren’t likely to care if they trash the bathroom or their popcorn spills all over the floor because the cans are too full. We went to one of the latest showings and when we left the theater after the movie not one staff member was in sight. We are going to give the place one more chance in case it was an extremely “off” night, but won’t return if we see the same issues again.

Review №94

Affordable tickets and great seats with new released movies. Its $4.50 for matinee movies for children and adults. They do sell some fries, hot dogs, nachos, and other hot food. A tub of popcorn is only $7.25 and you get one free refill a large pop is $5.25 with free refills. Gave it a four because it doesnt have waiters and bar, but also because its connected to a mall and space can be limited.
