Rainy Sunday what to do? Go to a see a movie I've been wanting to see before it's gone! The…read morehousemaid is a book I'd read and wanted to see and I found it playing just 2 shows on a Sunday , something called a Final Cut feature. A $5 movie program they have here where each week they spotlight a movie for limited run with one or two showings, a chance to see a hit movie before it leaves theater. I got lucky ! Great not to have to spend a fortune as you can at the movies. They also give you a coupon when you buy your ticket for a popcorn and drink combo at discount price. Everything is done by self check out for tickets, with a person there to tell you where your theater is. They have a lot of concessions here too. Bathrooms clean, and the theater was pretty empty for my show. They have all the newest movies here and imax available. Lots of parking, and easy to navigate. This was a nice break in my rainy day, I'll be sure to see what's on their Final Cut showings in future.

For date night we decided to go see the Michael Jackson movie. The parking lot is huge and has lots…read moreof handicap spaces in front of the building. You no longer pay outside at the window. You can buy your tickets ahead of time online or use the Kiosk inside the main lobby. Concessions is in the main lobby and they have a few registers going at once so there is no long lines usually. You have your normal movie theater choices, nothing out of the ordinary. They do have a few specialty alcoholic drinks available, as well as a frozen Jack & Coke. Everything is a bit pricey. The theater itself was clean and you have assigned seats so no rush. Seats are reclinable and very comfortable. Lightning in the back row was dim and my wife almost ended up landing on her ass trying to find her seat in the dark. Movie quality and sound were great! Definitely will be back but probably eat ahead of time or sneak in some snacks......yes that's a Latino move but it's ok because I'm Latino! Go catch a movie, you won't be disappointed!

If you're looking for a real movie experience, not the loud, sticky-floor, corporate version,…read moreAperture is it. My wife and I have been coming to Aperture several times over the years, and every single visit has been great. We're actually here tonight to see Wuthering Heights, a movie she had to drag me to but if history tells me anything, I'll end up loving the experience anyway. That's what this place does. It makes you glad you came. The staff is always genuinely friendly, not the forced, robotic kind. The snack selection is excellent, and the beer options are consistently solid. It feels curated, thoughtful, and intentional--just like the films they choose to show. Anytime my wife suggests we go see a movie, I immediately say, "Let's go to Aperture," instead of one of the big box theaters. It's just a better vibe. You're in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem, surrounded by great food spots, so it's easy to make a full night out of it. If you appreciate independent film, a relaxed atmosphere, and a theater that actually feels like part of the community, Aperture is the move. We'll keep coming back.

My husband and I LOVE this theater! We came across it while trying to find a showtime for Clown In…read moreA Cornfield. a/perture was the ONLY theater in NC showing it at the time. We loved having the small theater to ourselves! The snacks/drinks are a little pricey, but that's what you get with most movie theaters. This one offers some of the best snacks though! Some stuff you don't see usually. They also serve beer/wine along with sodas, and they allow you to bring in coffee from the shop they share space with. We just visited again to see Superman and we're in a bigger theater (it seated 82). Again, an awesome experience. If you haven't checked it out, you should! They don't play every movie that comes out, but it's worth the trip if they're playing something you wanna see.

Greensboro meets Winston-Salem when The Idiot Box Comedy Club takes over Marketplace Cinemas. With…read more$7 shows, a wide variety of refreshments sold (from beer and wine to popcorn and assorted candies) and an all-male comedian roster, this was truly a treat that left its sold-out crowd guffawing and gagging, literally, over the deliverances of jokes that ranged from raunchy adult to downright childish and silly! These groups of comedians did not come to disappoint as they approached everything from crowd interactions to tongue-in-cheek monologues performed. Marriage, modern day behaviors and protruding manholes were just a boisterous bit of memorable subjects discussed, leaving the crowd both stunned and stuck in their seats, doubling over with laughter. Myself (and my friends that I brought along) arrived just 15 minutes before the sold-out show only to enter a jam-packed theater house full of comedy-lovers. Seated directly in the front row (because there were absolutely no other available seats), I confess to feeling a tad bit anxiety over the possibility of becoming one of the comedians' targets to tease... but as the show commenced, I/we was/were left more than thrilled to have the best seats in the entire house! Would I go again when these "idiots" return to the soapbox & silverscreen in Salem? Uhhh, duhhhhh! Should others be sure to check out whenever they do make their way back to perform? At that affordable price, you'd be an idiot not to!

I've visited only once -- saw Killers of the Flower Moon in theater 6 -- but absolutely the best…read moretheater experience in the Triad so far. Big screen. Good sound. Clean. Delightful old school atmosphere. Inexpensive snacks. Friendly staff. I might be wrong about this, but I *think* they play pre-show trailers before the start time, so your show really starts at its posted time. Seriously, I went to buy an Icee, the machine was still getting going, and the staff member offered to walk it to me at my seat when it was ready!

Snack bar concessions to the left of the entry. Also where you purchase your cinema tickets and any of items you might like. The staff are all friendly and courteous. We got our tickets and a drink and a popcorn each. Like I said in the beginning, it had been a while since I was last in a movie house. It was almost $70 bucks for two people and I used my veteran discount on the tickets or it would of been more like eighty. The theater itself was nice enough, but nothing fancy. It actually looked a little dated and dirty. Okay sound and a fair screen, my tv at home has a better picture in my opinion. It used to be an inexpensive way to go out, going to the movies. No more. A lot of things are said to have impacted and killed the movie industry, I believe the industry itself did it to itself. 2.5 Stars rounded up for the staff - not sure I would repeat, maybe maybe not? 01192
