“This place is the perfect lowkey summer night activity. It’s only $11 per person and you get 2-3 movies! Food and drinks are incredibly cheap ranging between $3-5 and they have a wide selection of junk food. The Popcorn was so so good! I docked a star because they need more defined parking spots and more staff helping with that. 30minutes into our movie, we still were being bothered by latecomers trying to find parking. The theater is also close to the airport so the occasional plane can be bothersome. Overall, this is a great night out and not too pricey! Definitely recommend!” – Mason P.

“We see all the big movies here. Star Wars every year as well as other more cinematic movies. The new seats are awesome. We have our regular tow and normally can get middle seats as long as we buy the tickets ahead of time. The popcorn here is also really good. I love popcorn.” – Melissa L.

“Five Stars! Ok, so maybe it helps boost the experience when you haven’t been to the movie theaters in more than a year, but this was a great experience. I enjoyed the salads and fries we got. Chairs were also comfortable. There is a big set of stairs to get up to the cinemas, but there is also an elevator making this a fairly accessible place for many people.” – Matthias Y.

“Very nice in-town film festival. No it’s not Sundance, Cannes, South by Southwest, etc. but you’re in Cornlandia so it is what it is and you get what you get.
You get to watch some (mostly) very well-made movies, help judge them, and sometimes even have discussions with the filmmakers. All for the price of a normal theater ticket.” – Jemmie W.

“If living in downtown, this is the closest walkable not so crowded theatre in the heart of downtown.. Most of the big banners are always played here and it is always easy to grab a spot since most of the folks drive down to an AMC to watch the movies.. Good staff, clean theatre and they also get parking validated which is good.. When lazy and still want to watch a movie Regal is right there in downtown.” – Jane M.
