The IMAX staff was wonderful; very accommodating. It has been quite a number of years since I last visited the IMAX Theater to catch a show. I didn't remember how cramped the seating was :o), though the seats themselves are comfortable. Once seated, best to stay seated until the show is over; otherwise, it will be quite a task to get out, especially if one is seated in the middle of the row and the row is completely filled. All in all though, aside from the tiny inconvenience regarding the lack of space between seat rows, I think everyone pretty much enjoyed the show and the setting. Note, the documentary is on Youtube as well! I also want to give a "shout out" to Mission BBQ for providing a complimentary meal for those attending the documentary. The food was delicious; the meal consisted of: coleslaw, baked beans with brisket, mac and cheese, sausage, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, buns - along with tea (sweet and non-sweet), lemonade, and water! Thanks so much Mission BBQ!

Mid-sized IMAX screen, sufficient and comfortable seating, smallish concession stand…read more All in all, just the right size for our population. I've never been to a sold-out event here and, frankly, I often forget this is an option. That said, it's the best screen in the county - and if you're really looking for the larger-than-life experience, this screen yields a beautiful IMAX experience. It's no Warren Theaters IMAX - but then again - there's only one of those (in Wichita, not in NYC!).

While in town, I went to go see Frozen 2 at this movie theater…read more It is so ample, both in terms of parking and actual space. The employees are generally friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and did I mention that the seats are reclinable? Win-win, hello! I'm not sure about prices admittedly, seeing as my friend got us the tickets, but I was heavily pleased with the entire experience. It made for some fun times.

Me, I did my part to follow in my father's footsteps by standing in front of the speakers while Grand Funk Railroad and Sly & The Family Stone played. If the sound level at the movies is any indication, then any regular movie goers are doing their part to keep hearing aid providers in business. When I have to remove my hearing aids because of the volume, then I think it's safe to say the sound is too loud. My wife had to wear her ear protection headphones as well. I still go when my wife wants to because she enjoys seeing some movies on the big screen but if it was just me then I would be happy to wait for any movie to come to streaming. When you only understand about 25% of the dialogue it's pretty hard to follow the movie and at home I can stream the sound into my hearing aids and control the volume. Plus there's always closed captioning if needed. Just like our previous experience with Oppenheimer, I will watch The Odyssey again when it's available for streaming so I can hear the dialogue. If the sound volume wasn't bad enough, there's the cost too although we did ok with a senior discount on our tickets for the 1 pm show. We did miss out on getting the "deal" on 1 large popcorn and 2 large drinks for only $27+ because we were running late and didn't want to miss the start of the movie. I thank my lucky stars. Spent that money instead on a much more satisfying meal at Sonny's BBQ after the movie. :-) This movie theater complex has been here awhile now and has already been through a major renovation when they installed reclining seats and other improvements. Now all of that is wearing out and another renovation is probably needed. The hydraulics in the first reclining seat that I tried wouldn't hold position and kept leaning further and further back. I have seen other seats that were marked not available, probably for the same reason. There are other signs of wear and tear as well. Despite all these things I must say that if they dealt with the loud sound level issue I would be inclined to come to the movies more often, at least during the day when I can get a discount on tickets. Still might have to stay away from the "deals" at the concession stand though. P.S. Our son is working as a well paid projectionist for the 70mm version of The Odyssey and says that the sound level is mandated and can't be turned down.

It's clear that minimal effort is being made to maintain the property and it really shows. The landscaping outside is completely overgrown with weeds and grass giving the place an abandoned and neglected appearance even before you walk in. Inside, while the staff is friendly, the theaters themselves are often dirty. It is not uncommon to find popcorn, wrappers, and spilled drinks still on the seats and floors from previous showings. They clearly do not clean the theaters in between showings. CMX has the potential to be great, but they don't seem to wait to even try anymore.

My boyfriend and I were greeted so nicely by the Owner, Kevin. He was delightful to talk to. My boyfriend being the talkative butterfly chatted with him while I browsed around the lounge. It is honestly like a Blockbuster! (Sad days...that Blockbusters are gone) HOWEVER, this Retro rental DVD place is the New Blockbuster in Tally hehe. Rental DVDs from classic to new movies & tv shows ! Before, I took pics about this place. I wanted to ask Kevin for his permission because I was not sure if Kevin would find it to be rude. He told me, "Nah go for it, but make sure to tag my business" So I went at it. I learned a coupe of things from checking his place out: - Renting DVD's varies -Theres a Rental Theater Room in the back of the place, it's like a secret door you got through! *** You can rent the place for 2 hours for $80; bring your dvd and bring whatever treats your heart desires*** [Oh!] The place even has sweets and freshly popped popcorn so you don't have to bring your own sweets & popcorn. Of course can't forget refreshers :) ---Kevin has it all! Overall, I am jelly that Tally has such a cool place to rent DVDs with such a cool Owner. I would definitely come back here to bring my friends to watch a movie!

If you want somewhere to watch marathons of any of these kinds of films for a small fee, or if you want to rent a title that isn't immediately available on Hulu, Netflix, etc. this is an amazing place to go. This is *the* go-to place if you want to see classic John Carpenter or Lloyd Kaufman flicks and sometimes more offbeat and obscure titles back-to-back. There is a bar counter here that is set up like an old-timey soda fountain where you can sit and make small talk with your fellow fans of obscure and cult cinema (of whom at least a few are bound to show up). Live music events for alternative genres like punk and death rock are also sporadically a thing here: sometimes featuring local acts, sometimes featuring small label acts on tour. And if you're a fan of the style of artists like TSOL and The Damned, this is definitely going to be one of your go-to places in town and absolutely will be your scene. Bonus: hopefully this doesn't cross anyone's boundaries, but I gotta say the couple who run this place are extremely cool and attractive, and always wonderful to be around!

All students are granted free entry. Although, I'm no longer a student, I still find myself visiting the SLC when they screen classic films. For non-students, tickets are a mere $3. If you're lucky, you'll pop in on $1 popcorn night! (Tuesday I believe, but don't quote me on that). Housing over 300 seats, you'll be bound to have a good view from all areas of the theater. They screen classics, limited releases and blockbusters. If you've never been to the SLC, it's a venue worth checking out!

The concessions are small with the expected upcharge. There is a soda machine and very salty popcorn, but they do not mind you going in with outside food since profit is not their goal. You can also grab a coffee or an Italian soda at the Grindhouse Cafe that is directly across the SLC. They also have pastries and other things they can warm up for you. My favorite part is that you can come to watch a movie, and while you wait you can play some games on Steam or some League because they have very decent alienware gaming rigs you can use. You can also borrow a board game or a console system. They have Xbox Ones, PS4, PS3, Ps2., PS, Atari, Game Cube, N64, Wii..etc. They have a healthy variety of games and impromptu Smash competitions are not unheard of :p There is a stage where sometimes there is karaoke, game nights, and gaming competition. There is also frequent advance screenings of movies that won't come out in months, and those come with freebies and/or cool presentations by people involved in the films. This theater plays movies that are popular and movies that are not widely available. I've seen some of my favorite independent films here! Any student can suggest the movies, and different organizations can suggest theirs, sop there is an interesting variety. They usually play two movies, about 3 times per day. and 1 movie during the Summer. :d I think its a nice part of the Seminole experience as there is not that much to do in campus.

The home of the Tallahassee Film Society. From their website:…read more "The Tallahassee Film Society (TFS) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit organization. Incorporated in 1999, TFS was formed for the purpose of bringing foreign and American independent films to the Tallahassee area. Modeled after other film societies in the southeastern United States, TFS presents films all year around. In addition, we occasionally promote specialized film events and guests." Went to their screening of Food for Change and loved the space. Small and intimate but perfect for their collaborative screenings, where they pair up with community organizations such as last night's event with New Leaf Market co-op. I will be signing up for a TFS membership shortly!
