Cool spot

I like that this theater is still here and going strong. Just one screen like in the old days. Good sound quality. Decent prices too. I particularly like the tiny weird shape of the mens bathroom.

Exciting for this place to open back up post-covid - what a little gem of a theater and a special place

This theatre is classic. I love the lower prices of course, but also they do a great job keeping it clean and with sound. I chose this theatre when I can.

Great prices and movies. The best kept secret in south east Portland. Plus a killer selection of beers.

Great place to see a movie. Parking can be tricky, but once there its awesome.

Great location. Net net prices available. They have the beer I like.great movie choices. I wish they would update the seeding. The seats are old and clunky

Good, local single screen theatre. Excellent pop corn. They sell beer and wine too. No food except for candy. Comfortable seats. Very good ticket prices for first run films.

I love this theatre. Each theatre and screen are the perfect size so that every seat is a good seat. Don’t pass on the beer, but their popcorn needs some serious work.

They cherry-pick a good flick every few weeks. Always seems to be something with a good IMDB rating. Laidback place with nice beer options and good popcorn.

I had no idea this little theater existed. It’s a nice tucked away theater. Good place if you want to avoid the crowds.

Absolutely love this place, cheap tickets, cheap popcorn and comfortable seating. What more could you ask for ? This is a great theatre to check out new movies for a good price. Not sure what kind of popcorn they use but it taste better than most theaters.

Perfect neighborhood theater. Tickets are cheap, only one screen but the best flics. Staff is some friendly dudes offering beer wine and popcorn. Just what I need.

Cute theater but definitely needs some TLC and repairs. Had to move 4 times to find a seat that wasnt broken in some way. Would love to see this theater revamped.

Awesome single screen theater. They get all the big hits and some smaller flick sneak in there between the blockbusters.Reasonably priced concessions and you are allowed to bring your own food in, just no alcohol, popcorn or candy.Grab some food from your favorite Hawthorne join and catch a movie.Staff have a great energy.

Great movies. Seats are soft and springy, maybe a little too much? Try a different seat if you dont like the one youre in. Good projectors and sound.

Cozy, good sound, drinks and popcorn. No notes of any obnoxious chain theater characteristics.

For the record, I love this place. The tickets are cheaper than major theaters, the beers are fairly priced with a great selection, and the staff is rad. The seats arent particularly comfortable so I recommend going when the theater isnt likely to be packed. Thats the only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars.Update: moved to 5* because they improved their seats. Love these guys.

Nice old theater with cheap tickets for new movies.

Nice funky old fashioned movie theater. Good popcorn and ginger ale.

Love this theater. Wish there was a better parking scenario but eh, New Portland amirite?! Great beer, good popcorn, great movie selection. All the best flicks come through here. There is a handicap restroom, there are some non-accessible ones too. Support your independent theater and come here.

Great intimate venue but pretty loud because it is so small.... gret beer selection though

Cozy little theater with beer and popcorn. This is a staple in the neighborhood.

Vegan popcorn and low key vibes

A good small theater for first and second run movies with in house concessions such as sodas, popcorn and candy. Good way to avoid the noise, lights, traffic and the crowd at large theaters. No parking lot, so street park, which in the Hawthorne neighborhood is a little difficult. VERY SMALL bathrooms, from back in the 30s and 40s, fat people must walk sideways to get in! However, one handicap accessible modern bathroom added in a remodel.

I love this movie theater. They often show great movies. The beer on tap is excellent and the prices are great. They have a nice screen and the seats are comfortable with a good amount of leg room.

Saw a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 35mm. Looked great, comfortable seats, and the sound (most important part of the theater in my opinion) was excellent.

A simple movie venue with everything you need to get you to the end of the film. Nothing fancy, just classy enough to make you wanna come back, not too classy that your fairweather friends will want to follow.

Cheap tickets and the best popcorn at any movie theatre (fresh, not too salty, and with real butter!). You can get a ticket and medium popcorn for less than a regular ticket at most bigger theaters.

A good movie and tasty Porter!!

Always a breath theater. Popular misconception... they have vegan butter if you ask for it!

Love this local theater. Very disappointed that they decided to run first run movies. They used to have great classic films. Still go there to support local business, but sure miss the classic movies. Now any movie showing there is also at 30 other venues in town with more comfortable seating. I feel theyve lost their uniqueness

Great place, great staff and great popcorn

My favorite place to watch movies. Reasonable prices for new movies with an old-timey feel.

Comfortable seats, reasonably priced concessions, always amazing staff

Great movie place, inexpensive, best popcorn and selection of draft beers.

Cool old school movie theater

Great beer and comfy seats

Prices were great. Service and beer was good. The seats were comfy and large.The seats were also absolutely disgusting. My SO came home with insect bites on her feet after the movie. We wont return.

Very old theater. The chairs are 60s or 70s old and the place has a one stall restroom. It has a tiny concession stand. The reason for the 5 stars is they have many films that the big name movie theaters do not carry. There are so few of this style of old theater left.

Everything you want in a theater: great sound, comfy seats, and real butter on the corn. A real gem from 1914, loved well and given the right upgrades through time. One of the best independent theaters in town, without question.

Great staff. Yummy treats and interesting alchohal selection. So far, all the mivies have been worth seeing and I love the environment.

Great value, but the chairs are showing their age.

Amazing staff that are fun to talk to, cheap tickets, bring your own food if you want beer on tap! All right in the middle of one of the funniest streets in Portland next to some other fun places to check out and hip shops. Probably my favorite movie theater ever. If youre willing to wait to see that one movie that you heard about a month ago after everybodys done talking about it for a cheaper price then this is the theater for you.

I love the old school feeling here. And all the ads that ran before the movie were local! The concessions were insanely reasonable! Great experience!!

Fantastic service and wonderful ciders selection. The sound in the theater is excellent.

Old but charming. The theater is big and the seats are more comfortable than I expected. You can get beer and wine and the price is like stepping back in time 20 years.

Great location. Check out the tiniest bathroom ever. First run movies. Good prices. Not part of tacky mega chain.

Great low cost theater with a beautiful screen and sound system. However I didnt give it 5 stars because the seats are a bit worn and the springs have gone a bit. If you are over 6 plan on making some strange arrangements to stay seated throughout the show. Minus that this is a wonderful local gem.

Nice price with current run movies. Also real close to Blackbird so cant really complain

The theater is currently phasing in some upgrades; replacing old, decrepit seats, giving more legroom in the process. Should be even better independent theater once thats complete.

Cinemagic is reasonably cheap without skimping on any of the customary accommodations associated with the cinema. Ive never felt let down by the sound or picture quality, they have supremely comfortable chairs with folding footrests (at least some do, specifically up front), and theyre even across the street from little big burger! Cant go wrong.

This theater is low cost to attend a showing of a first rate film. I have seen Wild, Superman VS Batman, and a few others. The chairs are new and have drink holders. I just saw Once Upon a time in Hollywood. The picture and sound were great.

Nice big screen; one showing at a time.

One of my favorite theaters in Portland. Cheap tickets, comfy seats, new movies, tasty beer and friendly staff.

Back to the Future soundtrack was playing when we arrived to see Deadpool 2. Smelled great and the drinks selection was ample. Will definitely be back.

This place is a classic! There are more beers on tap than screens in the theatre. There is only one screen and thats all you need. A super unique laid back theatre thats definitely got the Portland vibe.

Great place for cheap movie & beer. Seats are very comfy and they rock/lean back (reminds me of the 70s), and theres a good selection of beer on tap, as well as one selection of red and white wines. Matinee tickets and beer $5 per person/pint, and ticket prices are $7 after 5:45pm.

Cosy, indie cinema, good reasonably priced beer, good service and comfy seats.

Fun old theater. Get a burger across the street and enjoy a flick

Great single screen theater. Ticket prices are amazingly low for a first run feature film. Beer and snacks are on point!

This place shows movies a few weeks after theyve been released. The tickets are a lot cheaper than Regal Cinemas, and theaters like that, but theyre are other theaters in Portland where you can see a movie for cheaper. Warning: you need to be careful when you sit down on your chair, because the back rest will go flying back, and hit the guy behind you right in the arches. Long story behind that quote. Just be careful.

Go for the movies and come back for the old Portland feel. Real butter on popcorn!

Great theater! A little small but that is ok. No AC when you fist enter but the theater is air conditioned. Nice beer selection

Great little single screen budget first run theater that serves beer along with typical concessions

Great prices. Great location. Good screen. Friendly folk. Seats are not great.

Great place to see a movie and get a beer. Would recommend to anyone!

Cinemagic is one of my favorite theaters in Portland. Of course, part of that sentiment is due to the convenient location and that fact that it is across the street from Little Big Burger but the fact that I can go and see a first run movie without suffering through the hell that is Lloyd Center is wonderful.

Were it not for the truly awful seating, this might be a four star theatre. These seats are creaky, uncomfortable, and falling apart. Yes it only has one screen, but its a good sized screen. They have first-run movies for only $7.

Ive been going here for over 15 years now, and Ive only now had an unpleasant experience at Cinemagic. So I want to qualify my present comments with a general admiration for the place and its staff through the years, yet I feel that I should speak up here. I showed up for a Tuesday early evening showing of Birdman a few weeks back. My friend and I arrived over 15 minutes before the stated showtime, nor was this a brand new release at the location. We waited in line for over half an hour just to be admitted to the theater, thereby missing the first 10 to 15 minutes of the movie because the theater was so poorly staffed, and the staff so poorly coordinated that they could not admit the majority of the customers in time to start the movie on time. Yet the projectionist saw no problem beginning the movie on time even though half of the crowd was still waiting in line for the very nice, but overwhelmed, woman working the door, food and drink stations. Could there not have been better communication with what I assume had to be the only other employee to help this poor woman up front, or to delay the beginning of the movie until the crowd was actually admitted to the theater?? There was no explanation, no remuneration, nothing said at all. Very poor business. Ill wait a while before I return. I actually like being able to watch ALL of the movie.

Nice neighborhood theatre that has great prices, tasty popcorn and local beers on tap. The theatre is old but comfortable.

Great place with very awesome staff & vibe. Seats need replacing but they have beer & popcorn so that works. Cheap shows in the matinee hours for first run!!

Low cost films. Little trashy but I think its apart of the look and feel of the place. Not a bad place to see films.

Really neat old theatre. Single screening room. Has beer/cider. Could use small renovations.

Great for non-blockbuster movies. Nice old theater with good character.

Great old time theatre with popular movies and reasonable prices for admission and refreshments.

I love this theater, even if someone always sits in front of me when the place is like 1/4 full and proceeds to slam their chair into my knees. Be careful if you are tall. Get there early so you have time to get concessions as it can take a minute. So this theater is my favorite because it gets rowdy. I was in a movie where someones cell phone went off and three people yelled at the woman and got into a brief verbal altercation. Later on an old man had to loudly ask his wife about certain plot points because he fell asleep. Finally, hats off to you super drunk guy at the matinee showing of Star Wars VIII who finally apologized to everyone for laughing at all the worst times.

Pretty good non cineplex

Square is the only thing I can think about including a few rewards like movie going on for me to protect your pathetic domain and not just the one that you are trying to depersonalize with your friends

I have love for this because they showed Lawrence of Arabia a few years back and gave me the chance to see it on the big screen. Now they just show mainstream fare, so its less interesting. Not even that cheap anymore.

Cant beat the price at this cozy, locally-owned theater. Where else can an adult get into a first run movie for $5.50? Good beer selection, too.

No Beer! I love Portlands independent theaters, but come on, no beer? I think most of our great local movie houses have realized that beer is essential. However, they show a pretty good selection of second run movies, so they are forgiven, for now.

Solid, overall. Having to wait outside to get into the theater is a pain when the weather is bad, though.

Love this little neighborhood theatre!

Nice seats, good food and drink, wonderful movies

Love this spot, though I do hope new seats are in the near future

The only thing about about this place thats old is the building. Good sound and video. REAL BUTTER ON THE CORN!

Great value.

Love this place. The seats need help, but it is old so it kind of goes with it.

Great local cinema featuring decent beer selection and choice recent releases.

Great old school theater showing new releases. You can buy beer and popcorn in the lobby. One of many great old theaters that make Portland a great place for cinephiles.

Great cheap theatre playing hip movies with good food. Highly recommend for catching a new flick with friends.

Great staff, great popcorn, nice sodas, new seats, fun atmosphere. Tickets are cheap and there’s nowhere else in Portland I’d rather go to see a movie.

This is a cozy theater. Nice seating.

Good cheap theater with terrible seats.

Nice small theater, not fancy, but great none the less, highly recommend it for a date night. Great location by some amazing restaurants

Great under-visited theater. Reasonable prices and no crowds!

My favorite second run theater. And theyre getting new seats!

Very old theater. Grandpah seating is breaking down. Sound sytem is nit up to date.

I always try to catch my movies here first.
