The Venue is GREAT! But we need to find a way to make people NOT TALK THROUGH THE WHILE MOVIE. I paid my money to see & hear the film...NOT people talking at full voice for the entire film!!! I was furious!

Loved watching a classic this afternoon. Also got a 44 (yes 44 oz) drink AND the biggest bag of popcorn Ive ever seen. Drink and popcorn only 10.75 with a free refill of popcorn ( if wanted).Definitely TOO much for one person as I could only drink 1/3 of the drink and not even half the popcorn (much less a refill) lol but will keep in mind next time when sharing with someone else.So for UNDER 13.00 I got to see a wonderful classic AND more popcorn and drink than I could possibly consume myself. Awesome deal!! :)Also theater and restroom was clean:)

For only 2 or 3$ you get a ticket to see some good movies. It may be a little older but still very good. I enjoy that they show movies such as; Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Jaws, and other old classics. For a younger person it gives me the opportunity to view them the way they were meant to be viewed.All in all 10$ for a date night for me, my girlfriend, and a big box of popcorn and a soda is alot better than 13$ for a ticket at a normal theater.

It waa great! The price was very affordable. I watched Tenant with a friend and had a great time. It is a little run down, but for the price it was more than worth it!

Only been here once and I would definitely go back. It was such a nice looking place inside and all of the staff were very kind. We saw Coco (I think its spelled that way) and it was awesome. The prices are superb!!

5 bucks for two tickets. They have new movies and old ones, following procedure. Its a great place to spend some time and relax. Come out and support!!

I really like the theaters and its always clean. I will say the only reason Im giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the large popcorn doesnt have refills currently because of covid but the price is the same. If I dont get the refill then I dont want to pay full price. Otherwise the staff is always friend and fast and we always enjoy our time !

Review №12

Matinee movies are $2.00. Extra large popcorn and 2 extra large drinks were $15.00. The drink is 44 oz! This will be a weekly if not twice weekly visit for me. Ill have to ration myself with the goodies. But its nice to know that a Nana on a disability income can treat her grandchildren at least once a month. Today they had Frozen II, a Star Wars movie (sorry I dont remember the name), 1917, and my girlfriend and I watched Fantasy Island. Nothing like the tv show. The chairs are amazing. I have a broken shoulder and was able to raise arm rest up to keep myself comfortable. The theater was clean as was the restrooms.

So pleased to see the theater where we saw so many movies with our now grown kids brought back to life! Ticket prices cant be beat, and Im happy to purchase some concessions to help keep them in business. The new seats are comfortable; if you can wait a month or two for new movies, you might even be able to afford a movie night out with YOUR young kids. You might see some old folks there, too.

Review №16

Ive been to many discount theaters and this is among the best! Overall, its very clean, staff is friendly and the concession prices arent insane. Quality of the film choices is good, especially bringing in a few foreign and arthouse selections. Theaters seem to all be in decent shape. Plus $2 vs $13 has my vote!

Review №17

This is a great place to watch movies without going completely broke. Its always clean and everyone is fairly friendly.My only complaint is that it isnt very handicap friendly. The bathroom is very hard to get into, and the biggest stall cant fit a wheel chair very well. There are also only 4 handicapped parking spaces.

Review №18

Only reasonably priced theater in town. Sure you will have to wait a few weeks, but just start another Netflix series and your block buster of choice will be here before you know it! Throw em a bone at least a few times a year...or as the classic infomercial comparison now goes...you can support your local movie theater for what you pay for a cup of coffee.

I love having a dollar theater again. Modern day movie ticket prices are so ridiculous. This place keeps a good selection of movies, old and new. The staff is very friendly. My ONLY complaint is that the theater seats are in dire need of replacement. They are quite uncomfortable and very squeaky.

Review №22

Great place. Clean, low priced, comfortable seats, great screen and sound quality. However, it is not stadium seating; it is hard to see through people even 3 rows ahead. Still, the theater isnt busy, so it is easy to spread out for good sightlines.

Review №26

Great value compared to overpriced movie theater in the area. Just must be willing to wait a few months to see the new releases. Plus, concessions are reasonably priced - get the large refillable popcorn.

Review №27

The theater was okay, of course it lacks the same nostalgia that it had back in the 90s when I went there as a teenager. The seats were very uncomfortable but the theater is old and refurbished so we cant expect top quality seating. I may visit again but prefer a more up to date movie theater.

Affordable tickets and most times not crowded and thats nice. Just wish the seats were a little wider for big people or you could at least be able to lift the arms up.

Review №32

I come here probably twice a week I love it! It’s SO CHEAP! Tickets are like 2 bucks and the concessions is super cheap too! I love the popcorn! The staff is very nice and they keep the place pretty clean! After a movie has been out for a week or two they typically get it in this theater so I don’t mind waiting:)

What treat to find a value-priced theatre! My son and I saw Midway, shared a large popcorn, and each had a large drink...all for less than a 20-dollar bill! The theatre was comfortable, the staff friendly, and the selection of movies was good. Now that I know this theater is here, Ill be back !

Go here over Regal! You can get 4 tickets for the price of 1 Regal ticket. And it’s still a fairly quality theater.

Review №47

Love it. Cant be beat by anything. Ticket prices are great and they dont make up for it on popcorn and drinks either. Used to go to AMC and do the Dolby cinema experience with popcorn and drinks this would be over 50 dollar.

Review №48

I like the price of movies there. The refreshments are about the same as the other theater in town. We quite often get a large buttered popcorn and they are supposed to give a free refill but if you come out after a late movie theres no one there to give you more. Some of the older employees dont want to refill the bag if you come back at a later date to get your refill youre entitled to. Its obvious theres no hole punched in it and we arent trying to cheat them. I think its wrong and they should honor the request. I do wish they could do some remodeling of the theater seats. So many the stuffing in them needs to be made firmer so you dont sink so far down.

A nice place to see recently released films and classics. Reasonably priced entertainment.

Review №50

Best value around. Its 2010s movies at 1990s prices. Sure you have to wait a bit, but that just adds more value in my mind because I get to hear reviewed and know for sure whether or not I want to spend my money on the movie. Love this place.

Decent little place but some of the staff is rude. One of the managers had a very nasty attitude. Also, they could definitely use a deep cleaning.

Jo
Review №54

Wonderful little theater at a fraction of the price of larger cinemas. The seating and screens may not be the highest quality, but for the price and the chance to see pretty recent films, its certainly worthwhile.

Love that we have a cheaper movie theater option and that they show old movies. Theater is outdated a bit, but its clean and well kept. Got to see The Princess Bride and Avengers Endgame there last week and paid less than one movie costs at Regal.

Review №59

This place while isnt the most amazing theater out there the price you pay for is $2-$3 and that is where my good review is from. While this isnt box office day movies this is a amazing theater to take a family to so your not spending $50 on 4+ tickets Ill always go here with my wife to say theres a movie we wanna see but its not something we need to see right away.

Movie selection is a bit small, and chairs are a bit old. Staff is friendly, and it is clean, and nothing beats going to see a movie late at night for $6. Concessions is pricey, but thats anywhere.

$2 entry, seats were comfortable and spacious and included an armrest for a drink. The $15 combo included a large popcorn and 2 large drinks but courtesy cups are available and a small family could totally keep that the only purchase and survive.

A great selection of movies to see on a bug screen at a reasonable price. The theater is clean and comfortable. Great option to take the family for a cute movie or an affordable date night. They also run special where they will show old classics on the big screen.

Cheap tickets, regular priced snacks. $15 for two large drinks and a large popcorn. The sound quality wasnt the absolute best, but Im not complaining considering it was only $6 for two tickets! Theater was very clean, restrooms were just as clean. Would definitely consider returning!

Review №81

Very affordable venue. Seats are small, tight and low to the ground. If you are a young, thin, flexible person that fits comfortably in economy class airline seats, this is not an issue for you. If you are elderly, have aching joints and/knees, carry more than 45+ extra pounds, this will be an extremely painful, humiliating experience.

If you can be patient about it, Id recommend waiting the few months until new movies leave the main theaters and go to Venue. Much cheaper, but with better popcorn and friendlier service.

Lo
Review №92

Venue is a discount theater. If you can wait to see a movie, this is a much less expensive option than first run movies. Movies generally come to venue a I months after closing at the premium theaters. I love going. Movie ticket prices can really add for a family of four at a premium theater. Venue is a quarter or so of the price. It makes regular movie going easier to do.

This is a nice place to see movies with the whole family for a nice price. The lag seems to be about six to eight weeks, which isnt bad if you dont have to see something opening night.
