Loved the old Rheem Theatre for the nostalgia but it had gotten pretty shabby over the years. The remodel under new ownership is amazing! They did a perfect job of blending the traditional with modern and their comfortable leather recliners, classy looking interior, huge screens and amazing sound make the Rheem Theatre our new #1 go-to place for movies. Will always look to see whats playing there first going forward.
I paid $45 for movie tickets and food which was expected at a movie theater. I know no one can help the prices except the ones who own the theater. Pizza was about $7-8 the pizza came out burnt twice! The first time we could hear the oven go off. I heard the other employee saying to the other ones behind the counter to take it out of the oven. They continued to ignore it. They didn’t tell us the pizza was out. Then we go up to have it remade for the second time. The pizza came out burnt. I would’ve asked for a third new pizza but the movie was about to start. Very frustrating to say the least. They need to keep a closer on the pizzas especially if they don’t know how to keep it in for. I know they may be busy but it only take a second to look at the pizza every few minutes in the oven to make sure it’s not burning. I work in the food industry myself and I understand it can be busy but to knowingly serve burnt pizza twice! I don’t know if there needs to be better training or what.
Excellent local theater. Decent snack bar selection with booze. Stairs could be an issue for some and I didnt see an elevator. Did have a lift for wheelchair/carriers.
The renovation is really a good idea. More comfy seats and clean bathroom. I love to watch movie here.
Well after many “re-openings” the new ownership group got it right! The new Dolby Atmos sound system is amazing and all new super recliners were 1st class. No more Walnut Creek for movies!
Real nice renovation. Super clean, very comfortable seats and the staff was professional and friendly. The sound system is awesome!
Renovated in Dec 2019 with brand new reclining sofa seats. DOLBY Atmos sound system. Plenty of free parking. Check it out! Well done.
Nice and local. Great if you dont want to drive to walnut Creek and the screen is better than orinda
Nice and updated theatre. Went to see Star Wars 9 and it was a very good time!
The mid-century remodel is excellent and staff are very nice.
Beautifully refurbished and updated. So happy this local landmark is back open.
New reclining chairs. Not crowded.
Very friendly staff. Good location. My son and I had lot of good time at Rheem theater.
Love our small town theatre - full of charm, character, and cadence of FUN! Great showing of family films on a regular basis—our go to place! And, it’s NOT a big box movie house, yet has all the similar amenities and good people! Supporting our local theatre benefits us all!
Nice place in a nice neighborhood. The theaters are very comfortable.
Very cozy, clean and comfortable. Easy parking in safe neighborhood. Super friendly staff. Glad to support our independent local theater!
The new Rheem is comfortable, clean and friendly.
Nice neighborhood theater with comfortable seating and good sound.
They are staffed by really nice people and the main theater is very spacious. We paid extra for reserved reclining seats in the front 4 or 5 rows (seating starts much further back than how older theaters used to set them). Good seats, good sound system and decent popcorn. The only reason I knocked a star off is that several recliners were broken and they were a little hard to operate.
Its a nice and small movie theater the seats are really comfy
Very old fashion, its kind of cool that way, but it ends up feeling more run down than aethstetically pleasing, but other than that its pretty nice
The theater upstairs was very comfortable. I was there for the Planatronix 16 mm film festival. I highly recommend the Rheem theater.
Small but nice. A bit more relaxing than the newer bigger theaters.
I love the Rheem Theater! So glad they are open again. They have made some updates to their snack counter that really expedite the process.
Great place to see a movie!
So much history behind. Looks like the owner is always there ( very nice person). Nice shows with lots of support from the community( line for tickets!). Big parking and safe area with good people.
Good service and good popcorn
One of the last classic theaters. Go there while you can. Hopefully it wont be torn down like the bowling alley and all the other vintage landmarks
Awesome new venue
Great place. Clean, comfy seats.
Friendly theatre. Comfy sofas to share with kids while watching (scary) films.
Great and historic theater! Has lots of movie artifacts. Great seating. Easy parking right in front of and next to the theater and nearby. Lots of unusual special events for all interests and all ages. Celebrity visits.
So wonderful to have this local theater. Not as grand as the theater in Orinda, but the architecture is wonderfully 50s and the service is personal and local.
Cozy, simple and not crowded. Also have big chairs to sit in and some couch like chairs. Was really relaxing, and easy to enjoy the movie.
Great old style theater. Interesting movie memorabilia in lobby as this is also a movie museum. Large theater downstairs and several upstairs. Nice to have a privately owned theater!
Very friendly and warm staff. Good prices on shows and snacks. Beautiful historic building. Glad it is open again!
Nice theater in my hometown. Its not the best in the area but much more convenient since its so close.
Its good. Its simple and fun to go to. Not giant or in a huge mall. Its one of the few theaters you can just chill with your friends.
Good service loved the old look.
If you live in Moraga, you probably already know and love this wonderful theater. Please support it by watching your films locally. I love the art deco, I love the ambiance, I love the local feel, I love how they promote artistic movies, as much as art events, besides the mandatory Hollywood stuff.
We had a great experience at the New Rheem Theater. The theater was full of leather loveseat couches and side-tables (kind of like a very large home-theater). The movie audio and video were very good, although the screen was on the small side. Again, the seats were awesome and comfortable and makes this a destination theater.
For a long movie, I was too cold...otherwise pretty good experience
Best kept secret in the area. This historic movie house has survived several attempts to shut it down. Its a great theater for this small town.
Its cool
Not bad, snack selection is very limited. Its doable. Old theater vibe.
Very fun old time feel theater with cool memorabilia from other movies. Only three theaters though.
I love supporting local business and having such a beautiful theater close to home. The special events are always interesting and the movie selections great.
Gotta love independent. Great special events and the memorabilia is awesome
Theatre is very configurable, but the movie League of Justice gets 1/5
It is such a classic theater, it has architecture, events, movies, and a nice bathroom. Such a classic feel that other movie theaters just dont offer anymore
Love the service and location.A neighborhood movie teatherwhere families of the Moraga-Lafayette areas get to see new released movies. Parking access is always available without worrying about expired meters or expensive parking fees. Just love it!
Very intimate theaters playing current movies as well as classics
Wonderful staff, huge screen, great sound, AMPLE FREE PARKING!
Very cool movie memorabilia and pictures in lobby. Comfy seats in theater.
I love this place except for the fact that they dont have kettlecorn :( oh and there is a small tear in the screen in the upper thatre I saw when we watched Kong that was fairly annoying.
I love taking kids to see movies here. Pay extra for the big cushy reclining chairs.
Its not as pretty as The Orinda Theater, but obviously born in the 30s.....Still, a very cool place to go and see a Movie.
Pretty much the only fun recreational activity Moraga has besides the Discgolf course at the commons. Love the seating its so comfortable! All the high schoolers use it though and due to the fact the seating at the back is just SO comfy, I wonder what the area would look like if you took a black light to it. Yikes!
Great little theater. Everyone in Moraga should visit there at least once to get the nostalgic feel of old movie theater. And to find out, most likely surprisingly, how good the picture quality and sound systems are. Not to mention those great, cozy reclining leather chairs in the front available for couple extra buck. Only thing missing is a glass of Lamorindas own Cabernet Sauvignon snd little bit cheese, but maybe one of these days we get that there too.
Perfectly charming Mom &Pop theater!
Amazing movie history on display. Very friendly staff !
Old fashioned quaint historic theater.
Little price, but the staff are amazing, and nice people
