Quiet during the offseason, fun way to spend a nostalgic cloudy drizzly, Tuesday afternoon and evening!

we went to see a movie on a rainy day at the beach.. This is not a large cinema with the fancy chairs.. It is a little dated, but the seats were fine, the AC worked and the movie went off without a hitch... So overall a good day at the movies! read more

As others have mentioned, this is an exercise in time travel back to a different era in movies where you didn't have seats that lie flat, 28 screens or hipster menu choices that can be brought to your seats. No, if you're below a certain age this is probably like a gulag. If you're above a certain age this is called a history lesson from when you were younger because there were no other choices. A few random points: - You can buy tickets in advance via their website but there is a surcharge - F&B offerings are expectedly slim but pricing is on the reasonable side - If you are towards the back of the theatre make sure you close the door as the noise from the lobby will bleed in and you won't hear the movie - You will definitely pick up some noise from the adjacent theatre Go with the flow and apply some context as to where you are. No, there are not going to be tons of "comfort upgrades" at a strip mall movie theatre considering the size of the surrounding area that it's in. Just be glad this exists at all. I mean sure you might have to overlook the leaking ceiling in the lobby or the need to wait a few minutes while the concession area registers each get rebooted a few times or the line in the parking lot to get in since they basically start all four screens at the same time but the staff we encountered were friendly and we appreciated the option to do something at night since the overall choices in the AB area are slim. Good Enough. read more

Friendly staff and clean theaters. Great sound system too. It's a little hidden so you have to look for it but we'll worth it.

Old & out-dated. The employees were great, but they really need to update this cinema.

Small comfortable movie theater, you can order tickets online. Concessions where great. Great place to catch a movie at the beach

Clean, quaint, old timeish theater. Great prices, fresh popcorn, and awesome concession combos. Friendly ladies working. Great way to spend an afternoon if needing a beach break. read more

This is the best movie theater around. The staff are all very friendly and profoundly hospitable.

Be prepared to step back in time when you visit this theatre that hasn't seen any comfort upgrades in decades. Seats are narrow, flat and don't recline. Movie goers expect more these days. Constantly frustrated that this theatre and the one in Emerald Isle seem to always show the same movies at the same time. If you're coming to the area bring your own movie options for those afternoon thunderstorms that will pop up. Your back will thank you for it. read more

So where I come from I have never seen a theater so small and having only 4 choices .. but again I would t complain since they had 2 of the movies playing that we wanted to watch . So was a good activity for a rainy day / or a lazy after dinner . Not bad if you have nothing else to do and want to catch up on a movie read more

This is an okay facility to see a movie. It's a bit dated and you can hear the movie next door through the wall but, it's adequate. I only give it one star, however, because they don't get very many movies that an adult would like to see. Apparently, if Disney or Marvel aren't involved, it's not worth showing. We don't get to see many movies. read more

This is a great small theater and just perfect for the area. The staff is friendly and polite. The theater was severely damaged by the last hurricane and has received an update. It is a little busy at prime movie times, but very comfortable during matinees. Prices are reasonable. The majority of the movies during the summers are for kids. But they do have R-rated movies also. They are right next door to a really good small ice cream shop in a small strip mall with lots of free parking. I have gone many times, and will continue to do so. read more

Tiiiiiny theatre with very quick check in. Friendly reception area, purchased goodies ahead of time but their selection looked pretty small. They lost a star because they literally only had four movies to choose from because the theater is so small. read more

Saw elysium for eight bucks. The theater was a throwback with floor to ceiling drapery . Haven't seen that since the seventies. Great sound and clarity when shown we had Almost a semi private screening . We went on a monday. read more

Decided to take the family to a showing of Planes. The establishment is tucked away in a strip mall and easily located. This theater has four movies playing at about four times a day each. This place does take cash only and gives you the option of using a ATM that looks a bit old and unsecured. Once you go in the theater it was clean but I did not check out the bathrooms or concessions. The theater itself was not stadium seating but did provide booster seats for children which was nice. If you need a theater to go catch a quick flick, this is your place. Just don't look for the latest and greatest technology in this movie theater. read more

We love going here. It is very old school and small, but lower prices than other places, the popcorn is good and the drinks are not watery. Everyone is fairly friendly and service is quick. I take my son in the summer to the free movie series. It's a good place to go for a smaller, more quiet setting. They DO take cards now. It's nothing glitzy, but we love the smaller local feel. read more

Just went to see Secret Life of Pets. Had two roaches crawl along the wall by my head. I killed both with my shoe. Went to inform the manager and was met with a response of, "There is concrete behind the walls in there so what do you expect." read more
