Took my children yesterday and had an amazing time seeing the new Croods movie. Staff was extremely kind, place was clean, lots of hand sanitizing stations and masks were worn. We had a fun and safe experience. Thank you!

Being the only cinema decently close to Maggie Valley and Waynesville, this is definitely a good option. This cinema may look small and maybe a little run down, but they really do a good job of showing an example of how looks may be deceiving. I was very impressed with how fair the prices were at this theater versus prices at a major chain like AMC or Regal. The inside lobby is small but has everything you would need. The rooms are different sizes, I was in the medium-sized room for watching Jumanji 2, this room was impressively good in terms of sound quality and the picture quality. There are some more rooms all very close to one another. They have a much smaller room and a much larger room. The seats were comfortable and allowed you to slightly recline back, not fully. The sound and screen were great quality, as mentioned before, but during my movie I was able to hear other movies adjacent to my screening room. The lights also were not turned off halfway through the trailers and they play the same three commercials over and over again until the trailers start. This is overall a nice small town cinema, don’t go in with the high expectations you would have with major chains like AMC or Regal.

I am so glad to have Smoky Mountain Cinema and I love to support them! I would recommend them to anyone. Workers are always courteous and friendly. Place is clean and they have done a remarkable job remodeling and putting in all new seats and updating screens. I feel the food is a bit pricey but overall I will continue being a customer here. I hope they can stay open!!

Very nice place. Staff friendly. Recommend going and giving them support.

Had a blast at our first drive in!!

Rented a theatre for a surprise date night and it was amazing. Highly recommended.

WONDERFUL THAT OUR DAUGHTER AND THE KIDS IN THIS COUNTY HAVE SOMETHING HEALTHY TO DUE DURING THE PANDEMIC

Just watched Jumanji Next Level at this theater. At first glance it appears like it might be a dump from the outside. But upon entering I was impressed. Its quaint. But its nice. The prices are very reasonable. They have everything you need. They even have these powders you can add to the popcorn with various flavors. Nice touch. The actual screening room was nice. Way nicer than I thought it was going to be. The seats were very comfortable and clean. They even recline, which was surprising. The picture quality was very good and the sound was excellent as well. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely go back.

They have some good movies. Great price to watch a movie

Its not your plush Asheville experience but it was great for Waynesville,NC! Took me back to movies in my youth. Seats were comfortable enough, popcorn was good and the staff was friendly!

Looking forward to normalcy again! :(

Very nice cinema and absolutely wonderful staff!!!!

Thank you bringing the theater back to life. It is great to drive 10 minutes for a movie instead of 30 mins. The popcorn was great! The screen and sound was awesome. Smaller theater but perfect. Quaint place. Small town theater and love it! Hoping people will support our local businesses.

Great experience, very nice people!

So pleased to find this movie theatre here in Waynesville. Very helpful counter staff, clean facilities and comfortable seats. Makes going to the movies easy and pleasant.

So glad the movie theater is back. Minus being able to hear other movie playing at times it was great. Prices are much like other big names theaters.

Went and seen IT 2. My first trip back since they reopened. The sound is a tad on the deafening side, but Im not complaining... Id rather it be a little loud than not loud enough! Overall, just glad we have a local option for movies again! Thanks to everyone that played a part in reopening our movie theater

I was slightly weary about this theater after reading reviews but decided to try it anyways. I was surprised by how clean and nice everything is. It may not have the top of the line equipment like the Regal Grande but it gets the job done and fixed some things that others have complained about. The lighting is much darker during the movie, its very clean, and the prices are average to match every other theater. Bonus points for me, its 10 minutes away from my house. The sound system is great with perfect balance and doesnt blow your ear drums out. The employees are wonderful and nice and love to chat if you have a minute to spare. My wife and I had a great experience and will definitely be heading back for our next movie. Definitely check this place out and show them some love.

Cool place. Super nice staff toward my daughter. Got to pick where we wanted to set and seats were very comfy

This is a small theater but the have updated Dolby 7.1 sound and its awesome. Love the hometown advertisements and the prices are great!

I came here on the inaugural day this place re opened. It was clean and the popcorn would be fresher than ever when I came. I came to see Spider-Man far from home, and it was a great movie. The Bathrooms were clean and spacious. The people working there were friendly and seemed happy to be there. However, I didn’t like that during the movie, the lights are too bright in contrast of other movie theaters. And it kind of made the movie slightly less enjoyable due to the lights. Other than that, highly recommendable.

Loved everything about it, use to come here as a child every week and now doing the same with my children. i know the prices seem high but they are cheaper than going to asheville and its what they have to do to stay open, only advice to owner as an avid movie goer, please turn the lights all the way off or near off once the movie starts, thanks for bringing it back

Great to have the theatre back. Little uncomfortable seats but all in all a wonderful theatre.

During the entire movie the lights were on in the theater right next to the screen and you could barely see the screen. Comfortable seats and great popcorn were a plus. I hope it was just an oversight of a new theater.

We wanted to try out the new theater that was recently reopened....needless to say we were very disappointed. We paid $27 for two tickets and some popcorn. The screen cut off part of the movie. The seats were very uncomfortable and I was happy the movie ended so I could get up. I was looking forward to going to this theater...however I can assure you I will not be returning.

Nice Place. Butter and season your own popcorn! Will definitely return.

Staff nice. Seats could be better. Sound & picture very good. PLEASE DONT PUT SOOOOO MUCH SALT ON THE POPCORN. Please dont put ANY salt on the popcorn. We can add our own. Health concerns for many of us. Thank you.

Freaking awesome!

Love having a movie theater back in Waynesville The theater was very clean and the employees were very nice

They show current movies and perhaps the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in at a movie theater!

This place was great, decent prices and comfy chairs, the only problem we encountered is my wife is legally blind and the theaters before and after the movie are DARK. She couldn’t see at all and had a hard time maneuvering to the exits/her seat. We even waited after the movie for about 5 minutes to see if the lights would come on and they never did. Definitely need to consider some sort of aisle lighting for ADA purposes.Also, in the middle of the movie the bass went out and caused us to listen to a movie through a tin can. Staff got it figured out pretty quickly after someone was informed, and I know it’s still in the new stages so no big deal. Didn’t impact the movie experience for us

Best thing to happen to Waynesville, especially special Tuesdays. Will be back after the the Virus is over.

Love the theater! Seats were comfortable and not overcrowded!

The new seats were comfortable and the price for two including a small soda and popcorn was ONLY $15. Fantastic deal!

Great little theater! Glad we now have one local :)

The only complaint I have about this place is that you cant find ticket prices on their website! I am so glad someones reopened this theater. Staff is extremely nice and very pleasurable to talk to, the seat are very comfortable and rock, the sounds was perfect and I really enjoyed the experience over all!!!! I cant wait to watch the last Star Wars movie here come Christmas.

Great Staff, Reasonable Prices, Fun Snacks. Sound was amazing. Seats comfortable and your choice. Hate reserved seating . Just what the town of Waynesville needed! Welcome to the community.

Not bad, could use a good cleaning but overall not bad.

First off the prices do not make sense there, the popcorn was absolute trash and gross, the fact that we got a free refill then they refuse to refill the popcorn because they already cleaned everything, is just wrong, you shouldn’t tell people they get a refill, then not refill it. In the theater area it is way to bright in there and need to lower the lights. This was my first time going back after all these years and I’m surely not going back there.

Just saw Double Tap with the wife. This is NOT the Waynesville theater of yesteryears!!!!! The new owner has remodeled to perfection and stated hes not done yet. Hallelujah, no more driving to Cherokee or Asheville to watch movies!

Pretty comfortable seating, wasnt crowded though I think 4.50 for a Dasani water is a little expensive I know they gotta make money but come on.... Other than that had good time watching the lion king

Nice place, new seats, sound is outstanding, its an old remodeled theater so it doesnt have stadium style seats but rather a gradually sloped floor. Drink refills are free, popcorn was good with seasonings available for free, we had a great experience overall.

The service was great. And sadly not much has changed. The hardware store noise of banging and power saw is new but the sound from the other theater still drowns out the movie you are watching.Worth it for $5 Tuesday only.

Great theater, clean, the staff is friendly, popcorn is fresh, concessions are reasonable.

Enjoy the movies! Popcorn and drinks are tooo expensive !!!!! Like to he e Christian movies we have seen there!

Loved it, loved Star Wars---Rise of Skywalker!!! In 7.1 surround sound and digital projection! Plus $5 Tuesdays when the two of us went!!!

The seats are comfortable. Lets support our newly furbished theatre. They do run first run movies. What was showing this past week was also at the Biltmore in Asheville. No need to drive that far anymore just for a show.

The movie was great sort of a moldy smell in one of the cinema but not to bad

We love having a clean, friendly local cinema!

Great seats, price and popcorn and Downton Abbey was excellent.

You just got to go because for me it is a wonderful place to go when U can not find anything to do .And a cool place to be at summer so just a place to hang out and injoy a movie .

Thankful to have something fun for families in Waynesville without driving to Asheville! Renovations are amazing, staff is excellent and we cant wait for our next movie outing!!

Love this place

Great staff, clean and comfy seats

Charming and absolutely the best staff. Much more personal and friendly than the big, fancy places.

Dont listen to the negative reviews it a new theater there getting back to were it needs to be keep up the good work

Prices are cheaper than a big theater, but the fact that they didnt turn the lights out in the movie was a little strange. It still needs some more updating, but not a bad experience.

Glad this place open again. Now dont have to go all the way to other countys.

This Cinema just reopened. The reason I am giving it three stars is due to the 7.00 price for a small popcorn. That is only .50 less than the matinee ticket price.

Considering till now we only had the strand for movies this is a upgrade for going to see a flick however if your a big movie buff dont expect too much here not much has changed other than the front booth and sound upgrades and some renovation in the theater itself. Still close to how it was before with the floor being just at a slight slope no stadium seating & the seats are still the flop down style and not very comfortable especially for a 6 year old. The sound is much better than before gets really loud and you can feel the booms and bangs but at times it was almost too loud and this is coming from someone who loves watching movies with Dolby Atmos surround sound at high levels. We were also a little disappointed at the ticket costs me being $9.50 and my child being $7.50. Tuesdays they have matinees for like $3 to $5 I believe or a all day ticket. All In all I wasnt blown away however we probably will go in the future as long as they play good movies i dont miss having to drive 40 mins to Asheville or 25 to Cherokee.

Seats were not positioned to where kids could see over them unless they were at an angle. I feel like concessions were very high.

Not no cheaper like they said coast $19 for two adults. Theater smelled musty and seats were used not new you would think they would have new seats with the price and the front entrance was dirty needed vacuumed bad. Were proble just keep going to Sylva or Ashville just not inpressed.

Im giving 3 stars due to the high prices, Ive been 2 times already, first time it was 39$ for 2 adults 2 popcorns and 2 drinks, 2nd time the front was horriblely dirty and the popcorn tasted horrid to be 9$..On a positive note the seating is comfortable even for used chairs, The surround sound is amazing, movie quality is great, and the staff so far has been so welcoming...Maybe once all the kinks are worked out itll be perfect

Charming upgraded theater brings back memories

Love the big screen and new lion king

Nice to have a place local. Support it now.

Great place to see first run movies!

Seats to high short people cant see over them. Didnt look clean from the front door to the theater. Tickets were cheap but my granddaughter was charged ridiculous price for a small bag of popcorn and three small drinks. Not what I expected at all.

Great family atmosphere and affordable fun!!!

Thank you for reviving the theater! This is an absolute asset to WNC!

Good for the size.

Came to a matinee, it was 7.50$ for children. Drink size was way too large. Prices way to high.

It is small and old but if the new owners would put a little $ into newer seats and etc it could be little more tolerable. Watching a movie in the smaller theatre is literally pain in the neck. Also if urn cold natured dress warm and maybe even take a blanket during colder months because their cheap with the heat.

As others have said, no, its not the most modern theater (no 3D, no stadium seating), but for a small town its great to have it. It has 3 screens, one large auditorium with a large screen, and two small, intimate spaces that put you right up close to the screen, but sitting in the back two or three rows is fine for viewing. It has first run movies with a $3 admission for seniors for matinees. That aint bad.

Corner of shopping cent not easy to see from street

The theater sends one back to a simpler time. The seats dont adjust but the quality is the with new release movies and great customer service.

Great Theatre where you can still take your family and afford popcorn and a drink.

Small but friendly.

Very clean place

The movie threater looks better then ever!

Good

Loved it

It is local!

Expensive

Nice
