Unless something changes, they are open as of 8/25. Come on out, see a flick, buy some candy and support your local theater! A good cinematic experience at a great price.

My kids and I drive a little further to come here. Great atmosphere, theyre popcorn is the BEST!!!!! Plus, the popcorn has a lid on it ..... why does everyone not do this???? So easy to mix the butter in with a lid, and share with your kids as its also a bowl! Movies are priced great, much easier on the wallet!!! Screens are not the greatest, or greatest sound systems, old school seats, but the great prices and great popcorn have earned our customer loyalty!!!

I had a wonderful day! I spent a lot of my day here today. I saw 3 movies for the price it would have cost for 1 movie at most other theaters. The movies were new too! The concessions arent too high priced either! It was very clean also. Nothing bad to say. Highly recommend!

5$ for any movie. Truly cant beat that type of deal. Not the cleanest place but otherwise a pretty good deal

It was a good experience. We didnt get any food or drinks, so I cant review that part. I think Id give a fifth star if they had more comfortable seating, but then the tickets wouldnt be so reasonably priced. Lol. Frozen II was a really cute movie, by the way. :)

Very affordable for our growing family. Very clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We are huge movie buffs and this place makes it affordable for us to go often.

The theater is dated, and you can see first-run movies. The concessions wont break the bank. Im not sure how the theater stays open with ticket prices so low.

We got bit by a bed bug here in the last studio to the left. They never replied to my feedback left nor emailed us. A shame me and my son always go on Fridays to the last show and now I kinda am scared.

Gonna start off with this:Im not against any of the employees, theyre all fantastic and do a great job!!However...Will not allow you to bring your own drink / food item in here when you have valid medical reasons -- even if its just a banana and water. Now normally this rule is easy to follow and understandable, but when somebody with a medical issue tries to explain *why* they need to carry food and drink with them at all times, youd think an exception could be made.

I give credit on the price tickets. Fair price BUT the movie started almost a half hour late! When I went to the bathroom and my fiance waited for me. The manager came out and acted like my fiance was doing something wrong when they advertise when a movie is showing I expect it to be shown at that time. I understand being a little late but a half hour?

This place is just great one of the best theaters I have been too period. The reason I think that is because I dont deserve anything good in life because Im a loser and so if youre a loser nobody like me too you will like this gross, cheap, ugly movie theater thats only good perk is its $5 a ticket. The posters outside the theater still say Mad Max Fury Road if that says anything. This is the type of place you expect to see a clogged toilet and dont want to fix it, might even want to make it worse.

Cheap prices no reason not to take your kids to see the latest movies. Weve seen all the marvel movies and star wars plus others. Plenty of show times. I recommend it.

Extremely dirty, had horrible odor. Poor customer service.

Nice place, great popcorn. Big reason such a low score is they charged us full price for a four month old, no discount. Really ridiculous.

Cheaper than any other theater around, with new releases and excellent concessions

Ticket prices r great at 5$ but popcorn, candy, an drinks make it seem like fine dinning. My advice is to eat before the movie.

Review №24

The prices are reasonable always have been. I’m not sure if they changed management or what.. growing up in Marion I never had a problem with the movie theater it was just like any other movie theater except some times they wouldn’t get new releases as quick as the larger cities did.. but.. never have I had a experience where the lights stayed on throughout the entire movie and the volume was low. I asked if they could the turn volume up and shut off the lights like any other theater. The staff said yes but..never done it! I even had other people ask in my group they lied and told them the same and never done it.. It’s a movie theater for crying out loud. The sound of my chewing popcorn or rattling through my bag of candy shouldn’t overshadow the sound of the movie...plus the management was rude. There wasn’t too many ppl in the movie to began with and one of the ppl I came with checked her phone its not like their was anyone behind them their practically at the last row of the theater and the manager decided to come out of her office to tell her to get off her phone..because the light shined so bright she could see it from up in the podium... now my question to management is how do you figure that the light from someone’s cellphone can cause a disturbance to the movie viewers but the several lights that you and your staff neglected to shut off during the movie can’t ??????????? If It wasn’t for me inviting everyone out to go to the movies that day. I would of left midway into the movie to go to the next town just so I can actually see and hear my movie! No matter the cost plus Columbus has $5 movies all day every Tuesday. Definitely not wasting my time here again if this is how you guys are running the place now.

Went and saw Bohemian Rhapsody and screen froze for 15 minutes then had to sit and wait for it to be fast forwarded. this is the second time Ive had a movie freeze on me there. 5.00 is cheap to see a movie, you get what you pay for.

Absolutely LOVE going here its become a go to for something to do with my kids. $5 each makes it very affordable. Love it!!

Jo
Review №30

$5.00 a ticket is a great price. The only complaint I have is that they leave a bright light on during the whole movie right in the middle in front of the screen. Its probably not a big deal during a bright kids movie, but any movie thats remotely dark its nearly impossible to see whats going on on the screen.

Was ok but it needs to be in better part of town

Review №32

The price is great! ($5 all day). Concessions are typical theater fare with decent prices.However, it is a budget cinema in a budget town. The floors are slippery during the first show of the day. (Daughter said she was ice skating). Seats are OK but could use an upgrade soon. The sound system in most of the theaters is lacking.I go here for price and convenience.

Today i went to see a movie and after me and my sister went down the hall to use the bathroom because the movies bathroom was filled with people. well we didnt know they was shutting down at the time and the person who closes the doors after hrs got really rude and was cussing at me and my sister as we was walking out. I feel they need to improve more on who they hire.

They did not turn out the lights all the way which made it very hard to see the darker scenes in Aladdin.

Review №48

Price was good but my fiancé had her left arm ate alive by something,we are guessing by bed bugs. Took all necessary precautions before entering our home as to not bring what ever it was in with us. We will most deffently not be returning any time soon! The management acted as if it were no big deal and blew it off. That is not how you treat customers especially when they have a ton of bug bites from watching a movie at your theatre !

Staff did a good job of trying to control a theatre full off middle school students. Its sad when they have to threaten to call the sherif to get them to shut up! I hate to say it but I think they should make the theater 16 and up unless with parent/grandparent.

Love this place . Cheap daytime fun. Always had the best movies. Has been clean Everytime I have went.and the popcorn is awesome. The girls that work there always has a smile and really seem to care if ppl are happy with the theater. The restrooms are clean which is unusual for as many ppl.that go in and out of them. They have comfortable seating as well.

Friendly staff that are very knowledgeable about the features that provide, the snack they offer are very general and decently priced for a movie theatre, the price is very reasonable during all hours of operation. Great place to take the family for a night out.

Much improved over the past couple of years! All shows only $5 so its a bargain to take the kids to see a weekend flick. Concession prices are moderate. Its an older theater so dont expect giant sound and stadium seating.

Review №68

A discount theater. Set your expectations there, and youll have a good time. The facilities are decidedly small scale, seats are the minimum level of comfort, few options for concessions, and not always the cleanest facilities. But youll see a movie on opening weekend for less than the cost of a fast food value meal, so you take what you can get

Was really looking forward to seeing IT today. The theater ruined the experience for us completely! This was a SCARY movie and the overhead light was on the entire time! We went up and said something and were told Ill go upstairs and try to dim it but it doesnt turn off. What movie theater leaves the lights on?? This was a mostly dark movie and with the light on you couldnt make out alot of it very well. Plus their were kids under 18 in there laughing and carrying on the entire time. The theater was absolutely filthy! Those arm rests havent been cleaned in I dont know how long and I almost fell twice because there was a STREAM of popcorn butter on the floor. I dont care how cheap the tickets are if the rest of the experience is a bad one.

I should not have to stand and wait ten minutes for them to finish cleaning the theatre. By the time they were done, the pre views were already starting.I also shouldnt have to wait in line at the concession stand to buy my tickets.

Review №77

Sound, seating, and picture quality were all amazing. However, the screen was tiny, the whole place felt like a run down church (The marquee was a piece of paper taped to the wall) and the theater I was in to see Civil War smelled like a farm. Like, just like a farm. Overwhelmingly so.
