This is an intimate locally-owned owned theater. They show mostly older and classic movies from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Its a a great place to take the family for a laid-back movie experience. The theaters are large with wide aisles and have the reclining powered stadium-type seats that are highly relaxing.
Movie theatre was clean and well kept. Prices are reasonable and I love the reserved seating. A note to mention, this theatre is located in the heart of Newark, College town, so its a younger crowd. So your experience, the audience may be a bit more vocal. So if your looking for a quiet theatre, this is most likely not what you want
A great little movie theater. Totally modern with a car and concession stand
Showing older movies but still a relaxing evening out. Must social distance and wear masks until seated.
Liked it much better as Cinema Center, when it still had that old theater feel. But honestly cant rate it badly when Ive had consistently good service and accommodation. This is a fully modernized theater with recliner seats and a small selection of food.
Great local movie theater. Friendly staff, great selection of food and drinks and always clean. Bonus there is even a bar where you can get a drink for the movie.
All the amenities and features (recliner seats, bar, etc) of a modern-day movie theater with that small town cozy atmosphere to it
Great experience. I love the reclining seats very clean
Very clean and the employees are all very nice.
Had a very nice time there. The company I work for rented the whole theater out and it was just us there. It was a nice experience. Overall from what I saw the theater was very well kept and I would most definitely go back.
Clean wide spaced open seating everyone very helpful.
Clean. Good social distancing.
Very comfortable movie theater. Rows are very wide, seats are very comfortable and recline almost to flat position.Theater was clean and sound was good. Definitely recommend this theater.
Beautiful theater! Very clean and great snacks!
Great theater with comfortable and spacious seating. I love going to the movies on Tuesday evenings when the ticket prices are reduced. It is very easy to make a seating reservation and I often walk in and get my tickets in advance to ensure good seating.
I want to love it here, but I just cant and this is why. The bag check.So, they offer dollar movies during the summer for the kids. The movies are pretty good and the seats are the large reclining seats. If you picked in advance the tickets are $2 due to the fees, but thats still pretty great.However, when you go to get your tickets checked or enter the theater, they thoroughly check whatever bags you have with you. (I say this knowing that my bag was checked three weeks in a row, while most of my friends were not.) I understand their policy, and I get the need to not have people bringing in tons of stuff, however, this is the main reason I dont like this policy: there are no healthy snacks and they do not offer a water option for the kids. If you purchase their kids snack it only comes with soda or sugary juice. Therefore, you then have to purchase an overpriced bottle of water. If you arent going to have anything remotely healthy available for kids, a parent should be able to bring in something for their child to eat or drink.
We love Main Street Movies! Small intimate theater thats family friendly, comfy reserved seating, affordable concessions, and they serve beer and wine! Our family comes here at least every other month for a movie night. Tuesdays has all day cheap tickets!
Love this theater. Really comfy seats. Good picture and sound. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Always my first choice when deciding where to go.
This review is for the prepared food only. I love the theatre. But I suggest staying away from the food. This past Saturday I went to a dinnertime showing ofc1917. I hadnt eaten so I figured, Support a local business, get dinner at the theater. I got the chicken strips and a basket of fries. They looked nice and were underneath the heat lamps. Chicken was room temp and the fries were cold. Unfortunately, I noticed this in my seat as the movie began. So I ate them, chalking it up to I shouldve checked sooner. Well, I have had a sore stomach and lower GI discomfort since that night. Still uncomfortable Monday morning. Not food poisoning, just bad food with awful after effects. My recommendation: eat before you go. Do not eat any food at the theater.
Had a wonderful experience. First time in a theater in 4 years. Amazing sound system, nice reclining seats. Will definitely go again soon.
Nice place with big theatres, but the seating isnt setup as well as other places. Our son had difficulty seeing over the seats in front because the seats arent staggered enough vertically. Also no armrest tables to put popcorn, etc. on. Probably wont go back
So its been awhile since i went to the movies 20 plus yrs. It was an awesome experience. You pick your own seats, they serve alcohol; get out. That is wild right there . you can fix up your own popcorn and stuff. How things have changed.
A top notch theater, a place to bring the whole family for a relaxing movie experience! Highly recommend! A+++
Best place to see a movie! Comfortable recliners, great staff, good food, bar, what more can I say?
Clean, comfortable and fairly priced. First-run movies in smaller setting than going to Glasgow with many nice restaurants in the area.
The threat is clean and the seat are comfortable
Great local cinema. Seating is in recliners and its assigned. Layout is a little strange with one theatre separate, at the front. Tickets seem to be machine purchase only, but you might be able to buy at the snack area. They do also offer beer.
After the renovation of the whole theater this place went from a zero to a hero. Really comfy chairs and now you can get a beer and watch your movie at the same time! The food here is pretty good too and its not that expensive like the IMAX at Christina. If you live in the newark area this is a very good choice of theater!
The theater was completely redone from the old Newark Cinema center. The seats recline and are very comfortable. You can buy drinks but youre limited to two beverages per person and beer and wine is all they had which is okay. Sound system was good picture quality excellent and we enjoyed the movie.
Never a lot of good movies showing. The manager needs an attitude adjustment. The condition of the theatre is nice and up to date with good snack and drink kiosks.
Clean environment and associated surroundings. Courteous, helpful, staff. Comfortable seats.
Great movie theater. Really comfortable seats.
Great deals, comfy and nice
Pleasant seating. Good movies at good prices. Especially Tuesday.
Refurbished older theater with a bar and recliner seats nicely done.
Love it there. They have the reclining seats and its always clean.
Hadnt seen the new theater since its no longer the 4. Great updates.
Since the theater was refurnished, it is now very nice, clean and comfortable. It is worth the increase in price.
Very comfortable seats. It is a family business so the people working there are very nice and helpful!
Great atmosphere. Modern feel and look. Self serving kiosks to buy your movies tickets on site with credit card. If paying by cash you can buy your tickets at the concession checkout register.Nice assortment of foods and beverages and the pricing is very reasonable. They even have a Keurig machine if you want to buy coffee.Theater seating are reclining and leather. The staff is very friendly and you get the feeling they love working there and care.They have Tuesday movie ticket specials at $6.00. It may be a dollar more than other theatres but is worth it for a cozier feel and the concession stand options and pricing.
The theater nice and clean. I like it because its quiet and not a lot of people. The session stand could be cheaper.
Fantastic theater. It was revamped top to bottom a few years ago, and is now what I would consider a high end movie experience.Seats are reclining, wide and comfortable, and have a pull out tray table for food.Screens are perfect and audio is always spot on. Love brining my wife here on date nights.
Fun and easygoing small town theater - with the BEST seating!
Great comfortable reclining seats. Very clean. Love that they sell Bings Bakery sugar cookies too!
Everyone was super kind. It was very clean
Great date night theater, snack and popcorn during the movie. Love the seats, recliners in all 5 theaters. There is a bar and they have kettle corn.
Nice theater...very convenient to Hockessin.
Clean theater, very comfy seats - overall a great time!
Love the staff here! The theater is always clean and screens good selection of new movies. Highly recommend! Specially if you go to UD and need a quick Tuesday night fun ($6 Tuesday deals)
Very clean, very friendly staff. Super comfy theatres, small screens but worth the convenience of location.
Fabulous seats and they put extra butter on the popcorn!
Foods ok, could be better. Other than that, it was a good experience
Small theater, but does serve alcohol . Place was a bit dirty when we last went to see the Adams Family
Nice seats
Cute little movie theater. Easy to get to. Clean. Friendly staff. Newly renovated with huge black recliners and reserved seating. Pleasant experiences every time. Will go again soon.
Fabulous renovation of the old theater. Great to have a theater in Newark.
Great quaint theatre with enormously comfortable seats! Very clean, respectable staff.
Awesome!
They were one of the only local theaters showing Bill & Ted Face the Music so we went. They seemed to be keeping the place clean & sanitary. Had a much better experience than when we went in the past.
Good location. Good parking.
I have always loved this theater, even when it was run-down... I mean... well loved. Then, they remodeled the whole thing. The seats are super comfy, the food is delicious, and now they have a bar! I come here any chance I get. Love the place, the people, the town. Thanks for being you.
Loved everything about this movie theater up into i went to go in the move theater and noticed there were no emergency exit in the theater in this world we live in today i was. Uncomfortable the entire movie i will not be going back if there is no emergency exit this is no were i want to be
This is a predominantly a self serve movie theatre, which can be a good and an unfortunate thing. They renovated some time ago. There are does not appear to be an reclining seats, but rather the traditional movie theater seating. This theater is frequented by locals and University students. There is ample parking. Additionally, there are two-three ways to exit the overall shopping plaza in Case of rush hour or Saturday afternoon traffic.
Great location, very comfortable and clean.
I was just there this past weekend and I loved it. The prices for food and drinks are so cheap!! I dont go out to the movies much but when I do, I am coming here.
I was very disappointed with the manager of the movie theater today. After he forcefully screamed at me to “read the sign” he disrespectfully asked to search my purse. As I was on a date and I found this incredibly embarrassing. I will not be returning, and I hope that something is done about the attitude of the manager on duty at 1pm on June 3rd.
Very clean, nice facility, staff was pleasant. Love the reclining seats and cookie selection
Nice place mgmt is alil bit sometime but its an in n out good spot
I enjoy going here on Tuesdays, cuz its half off movies. Its all reclined seating, but I honestly dont feel like they clean the seats often or very well. The cup holders always seem to have liquid in them, but the floors arent sticky, so idk. I do see and Im not exaggerating, but everytime I go someone ALWAYS takes their shoes off and have their bare feet on the seats! EW!!! Who are you and why do you think this is something acceptable to do?!!!!!?!!! This is not your home! But I feel the popcorn is fresh and the soft pretzels are always fresh, so all-in-all its a pretty decent place.
Currently my favorite movie theater. Newly renovated theater with reclining seats. Matinee prices are quite reasonable. Fully reserved seating where you choose your exact seat online. The fresh kettle corn is sweet and crunchy. There are free seasonings for the popcorn and you can add the butter yourself. Beer and wine are available.
Was assaulted by a juvenile while on my way to the rest room. She was on her way back to her seat with a younger girl. She forced me out of her way as she didn’t want to miss the beginning of the movie which she was seeing for the THIRD TIME!! I was told to “move” in no uncertain terms! I was knocked off balance and almost hit my head on the floor.When I reported the incident to management it was suggested I return to my seat.A young lady arrived with a small bag of popcorn and a bottle of water. She apologized profusely for the incident then left as the movie was beginning.Other movie going occasions at this theater were uneventful.
Great little theatre. My flavor in the region.
Very clean but for a college town the food is very expensive. Seats are very comfortable!
Nothing what I expected it to be... It was awesome!
Small Town Theater Feel with Big Time Theater Accommodations.The Theaters are fully equipped with Hi Def Audio and Visual Equipment, high grade Recliner Seating. The Concessions are tasty, and varied. Popcorn is the best in New Castle County. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, like the old neighborhood Theaters used to. Fun fact, they are owned and operated by local business named, Westown Movies. And for night and weekend showings they have a beer counter. A nice perk, in an already great theater.
Great Recliners that are perfect for movie watching. However, the lights on the side are distracting and you can hear other movies and people in the hallway while watching your movie. Needs better sound proofing+Darkness. The snacks are great, and is a pretty good movie theater overall.
Nice spot for a date night movie
Great place, recently renovated. Has all the perks of a big movie theater (including the high prices) but its just in downtown Newark! Theres plenty of parking available and the reclining chairs are a blast (if you fall asleep please dont snore ;) )Edit: We bought our tickets online for a movie that started at 7:30 PM and when we arrived they had changed the start time to 7:15 PM without letting us know so we lost 15 minutes of movie. An email or text message shouldve been nice. When I told the person at the register she looked at me like saying what do you want me to do?
Great theatres with recliner seating. First run movies. Good sound. Good food (beer also). Good prices. Great parking. Discount prices on Tuesdays.
Recliner seats were comfortable with unobstructed view. I would have appreciated a bit bigger screen and sound.
This place has the most accurate name of any business ever; its a movie theater with 5 screens located on Main Street. Im partial to this theater since its only seven minutes from my house but it does have great matinee ticket prices and the reclining seats are comfy as all get out.
The power reclining chairs with built in cup holders are comfortable! You can choose kettle corn instead of traditional popcorn along with traditional movie food choices. Theres also a bar if youd like a vino or craft beer during the show.
Nice remodel. Great spot usually.not crowded
Good place, not the best, butit is ok for waching movies
Recently remodeled and a nice alternative to the the 10,15,20 multiplexes out there. I have seen several first run movies there recently and enjoyed my experience. The usual snack bar and also a small bar for beer and lite wines.
Great place to watch a movie.
Since, they rebuilt the theatre its amazing. It is comfortable. Concessions are above average. There are White Castle burgers and Icees.
Awesome little theatre with a “small town” feel to it. Very comfortable recliner seats and pre-assigned seating so you don’t get stuck right up in front (if you don’t want to)
Decent prices, nice clean theater with fully reclining chairs, and the food isnt bad. They also serve alcohol which is a nice touch.
Have been to this theatre multiple times. Its always clean, the staff are always friendly and its always a nice experience. Reclining chairs are a standard of today that this theatre meets. Will continue coming here to see the latest releases.
Really nice since the reopening/remodeling was completed. Only one large theater, but overall is enjoyable. Discount day, large lounge chairs and quick service.
This theatre is clean and comfortable. The remodel is well worth it and I go here rather than the mall.
Love what they did when they did the upgrade to this theater. Big electric recliners with a lot of leg room. Only issue is food quality in the consesion area.
Clean, comfortable chairs, and great sound. Awesome experience and blows away AMC.
As long as its in the main theatre its awesome
Jurassic Park at great theater. No wait tonight. Seats so comfy. Air perfect, not too cold. Just perfect. Great movie too.
