A tarted up shadow of its former self…read more What's left of the original decor is hidden behind countless taped up posters, signs and standing displays - to the point where it looks like a teenager's bedroom or a college dorm. I like movie posters, but you're bombarded with them practically everywhere you look. It's beyond overkill. The actual movie experience on nearly every screen is compromised by the dim projection and because they're mostly in oddly shaped rooms where sightlines take a lower priority to capacity and traffic. Before you watch a movie here, pull up the trailer for that movie on your phone. If the picture on the movie screen is not as bright, sharp and clear as the picture on your phone, there is definitely something wrong. The most common causes are leaving the 3D filter on for non-3D movies, using worn out projector bulbs beyond their expiration date, and running the bulbs at less than full capacity. My guess is all three happen here. The screen wall should be free of distraction, not competing with a ramp to an exit door, especially if that ramp pushes the screen up to an uncomfortable sightline. Worst is #6 where the seats face straight ahead, but the screen is angled oddly to the left. I understand why it was done - a bad choice years ago - but it's no longer necessary, and the result is an awkward asymmetrical sightline. Also, the blue lights on the stairs are 10 times brighter than they need to be. The glare in your eyes increases your chance of tripping, (I did, and the guy in front of me, too). The floor lights reflect on the screen, washing out the picture contrast with a blue glow throughout the movie. Not a premium experience. The main room is very sad. The once beautiful atmospheric sky ceiling shows peeling paint and water damage, the original stage looks like a basement with some kind of pipes or partially dismantled metal framework hanging over the screen. The staff are generally nice except when they're not, seats are comfortable but worn out. Popcorn is pricey but decent. It's bafflling that the theatre got a huge financial grant from the city and instead of repairing the main room and so many other details, they wasted money on things like planters outside. Saving labor by eliminating the box office and selling tickets at the concession stand can stall your access to seating, because you have to wait while everyone in front of you gets their snacks. Asking an unoccupied person behind the counter to pause whatever he's futzing with and sell you a ticket so you can move on gets a curt refusal. I'd like to see this place - and the usually nice folks who work there - succeed and thrive, and I still like the idea of going out to a movie, but for the most part, this place isn't likely to draw me away from the brighter, sharper picture on a halfway decent TV screen, except for an occasional event movie that I'd want to see when it comes out. That will still look much better when it's available to view at home.

Very stressful moment for her as my son's friends were getting dropped off and there was nothing she could do. Shame that the only theater within 30 miles is run so poorly.

My wife and I were visiting the area and decided going to see a movie sounded like a great idea. We…read moreended up seeing The Long Walk, and I would recommend this movie to anyone. It was a little confusing to find the entrance into the mall to go into the theater, but we eventually found it. Once inside, we went to the concession counter to get some food before the movie. We had not had lunch so my wife and I ordered a hot dog combo, a nacho combo, and a large popcorn. So all of the items we got were a hot dog (which seemed as if it were microwaved), a thing of nachos with a small cup of nacho cheese (with Jalapenos which were $1.50 extra), a large popcorn, 2 bags of candy, and 2 large fountain sodas. This came out to $58... which flabbergasted me. Upon walking into theater 9, the theater was smaller than I expected. The seats were also very disappointing. The seats were very low to the ground, and I felt cramped in the seat itself. I don't know if I am spoiled with the theater near us, but I expected a nice reclining seat. The theater was overall very clean, and once the movie was over, the staff were in to clean almost immediately.

I would also be doing a disservice if I did not mention how delicious their popcorn is, truly the best movie theater popcorn we've had at any of our local theaters.

Here are the weekly showtimes: Friday & Saturday: 4:00 pm & 7:30 pm Sunday 1:00 pm & 4:00 pm Monday-Thursday 7:30 pm Doors open 30 minutes before each showtime.

The theater is clean, the seats are super comfortable, and the picture and sound quality are top-tier. I usually bring my own throw blanket since theaters can be a little cool, and it just adds to the comfort. In my opinion, the food is reasonably priced--comparable to what you'd pay at a typical restaurant--and they offer plenty of options. I usually order the chicken salad, and my nieces love the wings and quesadillas. I know some people complain about the prices, but I truly believe you're paying for convenience and the overall experience. The staff is always kind and accommodating, and even the guests are generally pleasant. Out of all my visits, I've only had one issue with a food order. I had to walk near the kitchen to get assistance, which caused me to miss a bit of the film. But in their defense, it was during a very busy showing for a popular movie, and they were super accommodating once I got help. Matinee tickets are typically around $7, and if you're a loyalty member, you can sometimes get them for $6. I've heard Tuesdays are even cheaper, though I'm not sure of the exact discount. One great tip: purchase your tickets online! You can also order your food in advance, select a delivery time, and have it brought right to your seat. All in all, I highly recommend Movie Tavern if you're looking for a cozy, enjoyable movie-going experience with good food and solid service.

They have a great spot with multiple parking spots that slope upwards so you can see well even in the 2nd and 3rd rows. They have a brand new screen as well since a really bad storm tore down the last one. Fortunately the community refused to let them be defeated and rallied behind them to rebuild with donations and support. You will definitely get your moneys worth here! You pay $8 per person and you can often see 3 movies all on the same night! I will admit I'm getting old and usually leave after the second one but if they have something I really want to see, then I stay. Last week they showed The Boss, The Nice Guys, and Neighbors 2. All of these movies are newer and all of them an adult comedy. Sometimes they have themes, like family movies, adult movies, etc. The staff there are all really nice and really work their butts off making your food for you. The prices are fair for the food as well. Most things are under 5 bucks which is a great deal! I got a double cheese burger, large cheese fry, hotdog, and hamburger for my wife for under $20. They also do a free pizza drawing before the second movie based on your ticket number. Another perk is that you don't have the garbled speakers here, you can just tune in to the radio station set for the movie. That way you can listen on your car radio or smartphone radio app. The only critique I have is that their bathrooms are a bit...rough. It is an old drive in though, so that happens.
