I chose the LDX. What is LDX? Luxury power reclining loungers throughout the auditorium Reserved seating throughout the auditorium Dolby Digital 7.1 sound with over 30,000 watts of heart pounding sound with expanded surround coverage to deliver the most realistic experience New screens with state-of-the-art reflective technology to provide the brightest picture Digital projection that produces the clearest picture So yeah, definitely worth a $1.00 more. Staff was friendly but looked bored. Cinema was clean and cool. We entered our LDX screening room and it was huge. Very clean and neat. Recliners were awesome! The movie was ok. I guess I was expecting something better. We still enjoyed our time and we'll be back when the heat index is over 90 degrees. Thanks for the cool time.

I think most of the town was there to see it. It's a small town ..so go figure. With prices like $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for kids...who wouldn't want to go to a movie. I felt like I went back in time....like 70 years. The theatre was a bit dated and old, but it's still pretty clean and neat...minus the smells of cow manure from some old farmers boots. Old wood floors and unique theatre decore. The seats are not the most comfortable. Popcorn is pretty cheap compared to the other Big time movie theatres...and..it tasted pretty good too. So of your ever in the area...go and support this little local movie theatre.

From their website:…read more Showtimes every night 7:00 PM Adults $2 - Children and Seniors $1 Yes, you read that right. And I saw "The Dark Knight" here last week - and it's still in first run! Okay, price point out of the way, now on to the rave. First - this is a real, old, big, one-screen movie theatre from the days when the movies were something special. The facade is a gorgeous example those days, its geometric, restrained 1930s style a joy to behold. Inside, the original light fixtures and fittings remain. The floor is HARDWOOD PLANKS. Modern, comfy seats fit perfectly with the style and ambiance, having been chosen with care. An original dairy wall clock hangs in one of the back exit hallway doors. Popcorn is on offer in front at the snackbar. The place is filled with kids and families. There's even a (very) stern usher, who polices the place for cell phones and contraband! The show starts every night at 7:00pm (a sign hanging by the box office window tells you when the show will let out) and my family confirms it is always packed. Gotta confess I got a bit of a lump in my throat, seeing all those people gathered downtown, hanging out and seeing the show together, having a bit of a real, old-time American home town experience. This is someplace to go out of your way to experience. Check out their website. Check them out on a map. Is Charles City a road trip destination? It ought to be.

One downfall I observed and also was a little disappointed with is the surround sound "ALL MAX" seem like most of the sound came from front instead of surround front the sides and back; at least in Cinema 6, not sure about the other cinemas sound quality. Each time I come here, I enjoy the experience overall! 2 thumbs up!!

The theaters could use a small amount of attention/upkeep/cleaning but overall they are in really good shape. Still nice to have a movie theater here in town. Theater food prices are what they are...overpriced...but that is the same in every theater. It's how they make their profit. Understood. And if you sign up for their newsletter/email you get discount offers pretty regularly. I also enjoy the recliner theaters and being able to pick your seats ahead of time. Staff is always courteous and friendly and helpful, and there is usually a decent selection of movies. Overall a 4 outta 5 experience everytime.

The theater itself isn't having the money put into it that it should. I was in the mega screen and the speaker constantly crackled. The seats are grimy looking and feeling, they need a good cleaning. To top it off the bathrooms were dirty. Hope that maybe AMC will build a new theater in cedar falls or Waterloo sometime.

They do not have 3D movies, however I don't see that as a big deal. Admission for any movie is $3 for new releases. They also have several free matinees, usually movies that are on DVD already that they show for kids. Make sure you bring cash, they don't take credit cards. They have candy and popcorn in the concession stand, but bottled pop comes out of the vending machines.
