We've been coming to Marcus since it first open but the seats are worn and ripped now. The bathroom smell and the staffs hospitality had been lack for years. Our most recent visit was completely ruined after a manager informed us of their new bag policy. I spent the whole movie worried about my purse sitting in my car. I had bought these tickets as a special treat to all the little girls I watch during the week. I bought them back in October to see the new Frozen 2. This encounter ruined it for all the moms and myself. The manager was rude with my mom. I even offered to show them the inside of my purse. Honestly with the progression of issues over the years (from the bathrooms to some of the highest matinee prices) this was last straw. I'll be taking my family to see the new box office holiday line ups somewhere else. Not worth it! read more

Excellent venue , very comfortable seats, kind staff. I would definitely go again in the near future read more

My fiancé and I attended this theater for a date night. A large group of teens were sitting behind us and were extremely obnoxious and loud. This made it extremely hard to enjoy the movie. I feel there should be staff keeping an eye on the theaters at different times to ensure this doesn't happen. Needless to say, we will be finding a new movie spot. read more

Usually one of my favorite theaters in town, but on this visit both popcorn machines were down. I feel like that's something they should tell people before buying tickets. Half the fun of a movie is the popcorn! $2 off pretzel bits is not compensation. read more

Marcus Crosswoods Cinema - Busy lobby on a Saturday night - Cinema Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We go here often. I love getting tickets online for reserved seating. If you are a Marcus Rewards Member, there's no service fee on Fandango. You also receive free popcorn on Tuesdays during their $5 movie night. Crosswoods was the first theater in my area to offer Dream Lounger reclining seating. It's been about 3 or 4 years now, and the seats are showing signs of wear. The leather is cracking, and my daughter's swing table on her chair turned the opposite way and was blocked by a pole so it rendered it useless. There were a couple of tables removed from the chairs entirely and just thrown at the end of the aisle. So, there's definitely some chair maintenance that could happen, if that's even a thing. The concessions are typical of any movie theater, but I like that it remains full service as opposed to AMC. Everything I have eaten there is good. But you know, all theater treats are well overpriced. I've never had a bad experience watching a movie--no technical difficulties and patrons are polite. I definitely will continue to come back. read more

Overall a pretty solid cinema. Seats have a little wear and tear, but they are still comfortable. Ticket prices are fair and better then most other cinemas. Tuesday they have $5 dollar movies, which is nice. read more

I love this theater. The seating and movie selection alone should be enough, but there is so much more. Buku parking. Lots of handicapped parking as well. Buy tickets online, at the foyer kiosk, or at the entry desks from the friendly, helpful staff. Do they pick the most upbeat employees to greet you, or are they just mirroring the excitement of the patrons? Dream Loungers are the only way to go. Every seat, every theater. Choose your movie, and reserve your seat from the display touch screen. Sometimes there's a ticket ripper, sometimes not. The large number on your ticket is easily identifiable as the theater number you are going to. The numbers are well defined by above each hallway entrance. It's not rock science. Plenty of people working behind the concessions to keep the lines moving. It almost seems as if there are a certain number waiting, another counter opens up. One does nothing but keep stocking, so as to keep things going. Who wants to wait for popcorn? My wife swears by this popcorn here. Stick with all the standard theater popcorn tips(Reheated last nights corn for first batch?). I think we all know 1/2 a bucket with butter added, then repeat, is the best way. Throw on some of my own CaJohns Fire Dust, and we're rockin'. I have not yet tried the food or pizza. I'm hoping that posting a picture of that thin crispy crust will remind us to eat here next time. The restrooms have been hit and miss. I will say that if on my way in, I let someone know, it is cleaned by my return on the way out. The seats are all the rage. Some have the armrests that raise to let couples cuddle in a love seat setting. The big, wide, leather, pleather loungers with cup holders have power controls to raise the leg rests, and recline with ease. The theater is spacious with the rows between seats. It has to be, to accommodate the elevated feet from the reclining head in front of it. Now remember that the row must also be far enough away to let another patron pass by with concessions in hand without inconveniencing reclining individuals. Less seats, but more theaters, for more viewings. That means more chances in seeing a film when it's right for your schedule. Pick up your Marcus loyalty card or app when you go. Collect and use their rewards. And we'll see you at the movies. read more

I love going to Marcus when I go see a movie especially when it's $5 Tuesday I have See Spider-Man No Way Home about 2 times I'm going to go see it again I just love Marcus theaters read more

Marcus Crosswoods is probably the best deal in town when it comes to movies. Tuesday is a must here for only $5 for the movie, plus loads of deals on the rewards card like free popcorn or a large popcorn for only $4. Tuesday is a night when one might want to buy the tickets early and reserve the seats early also as things get crowded like even busier than a Saturday night. Monica and I have only had the popcorn here and it was good, the pretzel bites didn't look the best last night so we passed on those. There is plenty of parking and the employees are generally nice and hospitable. Students get a $5 movie night on Thursday with a college ID so that's a great deal as well. One small thing to nitpick about is the arm rest. Last night at our movie we moved the arm rest up, however when we tried to share the seat it wasn't as comfortable as other theaters. read more

Wow, the theatre in here has lazyboy type seats which you can recline--a first I've seen this for all of the seats. The sound and screen image where perfect. Plus, before 6:00pm it's only $5. What a great place. We'll be back! read more

Here's the thing about Marcus Crosswoods... It's like a place that businesses go to die. It's such a weird, under-visited area. Von Jazz used to be over here. Random night clubs pop up and go under. Random restaurants pop up, get rave reviews, and slowly die. It seems the current mix has been consistent in the area. And then, there is the theatre. I went with a friend for the first time, and it was like a major discovery for a cinephile like myself. I've come here for their smaller screen to catch films solo. I've had exactly one bad experience: the leather recliners are awesome, except when you sit down and discover the last person had a love affair with their popcorn, and you feel like they decided to share their love of salty butter with the arm rest. Bring napkins so you can be sure you can wipe down the oilled armrest. read more

Definitely a treat to go to! Was visiting family over night when my wife and I took our son with my mother-in-law to see the Secret Lives of Pets. At first I was turned off because we had to wait in line to purchase our tickets (at Rave in Toledo they have kiosks in addition to the cashiers) and the interior looked a bit out of date. But we were able to choose our seats on a touchscreen and could see what seats were available so we could sit together. We walked in the theatre and wow were the seats awesome! Full on suede-like material lounge seating with trays, cup holders on both the outer and inner armrests. The inside armrest also lifted out of the way in case you wanted to cuddle with that special someone. The best feature? They reclined so that you could practically lay down and watch the movie (electronically). Even reclined all the way there was still some room for other guests to walk past. The screen also seemed to be up-to-date and very crisp (and curved!). Well worth the wait at the beginning and definitely a must do when we visit next time. IF I had something to criticize it would be that I felt the volume was a bit louder than what I'm accustomed to. read more

Our favorite place to watch movies. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The prices are what you expect but you do get refills so it all balances out in the end. Aurora who helped us was patient as it took us time to decide. She suggested the meal deals. I was sad that there weren't full sized pretzels. However; the pretzel bites were the perfect size and were tasty. The cheese sauce that came with them had a flavor it was cheesy with a little kick of spice. read more

Love this theater . Been coming here for years Great stadium seats , pick your own seats , nice recliners ! Nice bar as well ! and now you can get pizza here which is actually pretty good ! We usually eat somewhere like J Gilbert's or J Alexander's which is close by , then go see a movie here . Makes a fun night always Lots of parking My only complaint would be that they need to Pave the parking lot , especially toward the back . Hope they do that soon Marcus is a great place for a movie date or family movie time . Check out my other reviews Cheers read more

I'm not going to say anything that others haven;t already said about this place. From the leather reclining seats, to food choices, to $5 Tuesdays etc... What prompted me to post is that no one had mentioned that if you get their rewards card; they will waive the service charges when ordering online. That is a winner in my book! If you are a Marcus employee reading this, NEVER change this and you'll always win over your competition when you are on a level playing field with them on amenities. This location is a 5-star in my book with one exception and that is the bathrooms. They are atrocious beyond words most of the time. And honestly, I can deal with no hand towels and no TP in the stalls because you get that most anywhere that is busy and employing teens to man the business. The reason I am docking the star is that ALL the men's rooms stink like dried urine, and that is a management oversight issue. This location would improve above their competition if they put a weekly deep steam/bleach cleaning of their restrooms on their 2016 budget to reduce the repugnant stench that you are greeted with upon entering the restrooms. This location has three men's rooms that I have found and they all suffer from the same fate. read more

My wife and I go here constantly on movie night. What can I say, we are regulars. Its no five star, but I mean that is a high standard to attain for a theater. That being said, it is a nice little movie theater. What I love most about Crosswoods is the lounge chairs. They have lounge chairs in literally every theater. I have been to Pickerington Marcus before and they of course do not have all lounge chairs. I know what you are thinking, who cares about lounge chairs? Well you would be surprised with the difference it makes. I mean c'mon, who wants to sit an upright chair for 2 or so hours. Anyways, I recommend Crosswoods. And if you have a choice between Crosswoods and Pickerington, choose Crosswoods! read more

Marcus Crosswoods Cinema - LOUNGE CHAIRS!!! - Cinema Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I have been to this theater a few times over the year & it has always been so nice. Today I went & saw two movies with family & was so disappointed in how poor the up keep has become. The upholstery of one of our chairs was torn up. The bathrooms, I used two different locations both smelt like outhouses. How can you charge me $7 for some lukewarm, watered down nacho cheese & a bag of chips but can't keep the place looking & smelling nice. So sad :( read more

This was one amazing theater. I seen the avengers there and fell in love with the theater. I will be back to see many more. I loved the layout, the outdoor looks of the building and the staff was nice. I didn't get anything to snack on because it was a 8:30 showing, in the morning, but I'll see how their concession stand is when I go back. read more

This is the Tuesday night spot. I don't think there has even been a Tuesday when I'm in Columbus and I don't see a movie here. The $5 ticket price is cool. It's for all of the movies, including new ones, you can purchase online, reserve your seats, and just show up. Buy them early in the day because they can get sold out fast, depending on the movie. The theaters are clean and the seats are comfy. The bathrooms are typically very clean too. Such a nice date night idea. read more

SAFETY DANGER!!!! First, let me say that I used to love this theater for a number of different reasons....none of these things matter if you are NOT SAFE!! -$5 Tuesday nights -$5 student nights -Seats that can be reserved/purchased online -Refillable drinks and popcorn -Full-service bar -Reclining leather seats However, the decline in the safety & management of this theater is extremely disappointing. I would greatly caution young women who attend movies at this theater. We attended a 9 o'clock showing of a recent movie. I was with my high school aged daughters. During the course of the movie I began to notice that the gentleman next to me was touching his genitalia. Horrified I mediately got up and went to the ticket box. I bypassed the staff and went directly to the off duty officer. I explained to the officer that the I believed that the gentleman next to me was touching himself. I also explained that I was extremely uncomfortable and did not feel safe. I was then asked by Marcus theater staff members, Who were close by overheard the conversation that I was having with the officer to describe the gentleman's appearance. I began to describe this gentleman as younger, blonde and heavier set. The employees at the ticket box said, "Oh, that is Michael." To which I said, "Excuse me? You know who this gentleman is? Have you had complaints about him doing this before? Why is he even allowed to return to the theater?" To which the Marcus theater staff members replied, "Management says that we have to catch him in the act to actually be able to throw him out of the movie. If we don't catch him in the act we can't ban him or throw him out?" I was disgusted and felt extremely violated. It is irresponsible of an establishment to allow a gentleman who has exhibited such heinous behavior to continue to return and re-offend. On some level Marcus theaters has a responsibility to provide a safe environment for its patrons. Marcus theater employee state that they had multiple exchanges with this gentleman on previous occasions. I then said, "Ok, come back with me to the theater. I will return to my seat and you can stand in the back and watch. If you see something then you will have the documentation that is needed and you can remove him." I am not lying to you.... I returned to my seat. Low and behold within 30 seconds of sitting down this gentleman began to fondle himself. The next thing that I heard send saw was an officer saying, "Michael.." as he tapped on the gentleman's shoulder. Kudos to the officer for promptly responding. However, I had to be exposed to a SEXUAL PREDATOR!!! The management at this theater did not feel it was a priority to ensure that myself and my daughters were safe-demonstrated by the fact that the staff knew this gentleman by name. The staff stated that they had multiple complaints before in reference to his behavior at different movies. The response was, "We had hoped he would go away and just not return." I'm sorry that's not OK. What if my daughters had been alone? What if the situation had escalated? What if this gentleman had followed us back to our car? I will also state that during multiple various other movie showings I have experienced patrons who were vaping in the theater, patrons having sex in the back row, and rowdy, loud patrons that were extremely inebriated. It is as if the management and employees of Marcus Theaters simply don't care what happens once the lights go off. I caution women and girls to attend movies in groups and to be very aware of their surroundings if you choose to attend a screening....,because management is certainly not paying attention. I will also state that after this whole ordeal, I did not even receive an apology from the staff. A manager did not even speak to me. It seemed like this was a pretty run-of-the-mill occurrence and something that the staff was used to dealing with. It appears that this is a hunting ground for sex offenders and you should be very careful! read more

My very favorite movie theater! I love that every theater has the dream loungers and they don't cost any extra. Plus it's awesome to be able to buy tickets earlier in the week, choose your seat, and then not have to show up way before the movie starts. It's the most logical thing to happen to movie going since... ever! Everything is always pretty clean especially compared with the typical movie theater. I love the rewards program because it's one where I don't have to put in extra effort to use. Plus I can use the rewards on whatever I want, tickets or foods or drinks, instead of having the use specified by the theater. I haven't attended many of the special showings but I'm always impressed to see how many fun, unique events the Marcus has. read more

This is my favorite theater in Columbus. The prices are lower than AMC and you still get those red recliners! Every Tuesday all movies are 5 bucks and on Thursday's students and faculty are $6 (although they have NEVER asked for a student ID anytime I've bought a student ticket). AND you get a free popcorn on those days as well! Definitely sign up for their free rewards card. One point per dollar and at 100 points you get $5 off. There's also a bar area in the lobby as well with a big screen projector where they'll sometimes broadcast big OSU games and such. Definitely my go-to for movie nights. read more

Seeing lots of technical glitches lately and the whole Crosswoods area is getting run down lately, the parking lot looks like a lunar landscape. read more

I will never go to this theater again. After buying tickets for kids movie on their website, we get there and they tell us that they cancelled that showing. I asked if another viewing was soon and they said another was playing in about 90 minutes... I said okay... we'll go burn some time and come back then. Then they tell me I'll have to pay up because the later showing costs more! I was like, are you serious? So when I was refunding with the Assistant Manager, I asked if they would really charge more for moving time to later movie because of their mistake... he said "that's right". No apology, not a care that we wasted time getting there and the disappointment of the little kid. AMC just got a new customer! read more

This is probably my favorite movie theatre in Columbus. I know what you're thinking - WHAT?! Easton is obviously super nice and high end feeling but honestly Marcus is a hidden gem. The seats are so comfortable - I swear they are better than Polaris or Easton. They feel like lazy boys and recline back soooo far and comfortably. Eastons seats are mediocre in comparison. The theatre is huge and pretty nice. My husband and I would choose this theatre over any in Columbus any day!! read more

Best theater in town. Hands down!! This theater went through a remodel not long ago. They now have all dream loungers, a pizza shop and sports bar inside. The prices per ticket are not outrageous and they offer deals depending on the day. Love Marcus!! read more

My theatre of choice is the Dublin AMC, but so many people have been telling me to try Marcus. Well I have given it a shot, and while I totally see all the reasons why my friends love it -- I still prefer Dublin AMC. But don't let my personal preference dissuade you from trying this Crosswoods gem! So many amazing qualities: +Reservable seats! +Incredibly friendly staff +Can't-be-beat prices (the $5 Tuesdays is a real thing!) +A reward program that come with loads of perks +A full bar So why am I not sold already on the Marcus theatre? I know -- I'm crazy. My one big gripe here is that the seats are in quite a need of repair -- so many ripped headrests. I also didn't love the layout of the big theatre -- just not as cozy as the Dublin AMC. I know I'm being nitpicky, but since I rarely go to the movies, I really do want an amazing experience all around. But Marcus is definitely a solid choice that has rightfully earned many fans. read more

Nice low key spot, great spacious seats...great bar prices are not to bad! food bar good deals ...popcorn taste stale though

We used to like going to this theater and have seen many movies there, however it seems that recently the management has changed and they seem to not care about the patrons anymore. They say they care about Covid protocols but when I confronted the manager about that not happening he said " if you don't like it stay home and watch movies". I was shocked at his attitude and very disappointed that Marcus hires people like that. read more

Aw man wow! A mix of old school movie theater (the way the staff dresses) with modern seats? Winner winner! Those seats that you can practically recline flat in and not have to worry about bumping into anyone? Hot damn! We picked the "Ultra Screen" experience for our first time out and seriously - 3 story tall 70 foot wide screen? As the Lego movie sang "Awesome!!!" I highly suggest sitting towards the back of the theater like rows H on back so you can view without hurting your eyes or neck. You can either pick your seats when you get there or do the whole thing online ($10 a ticket with a $1 surcharge). There is a rounder in the middle of the place that has all the snacks you could want and then you have to find where you seat. That was my one issue with the place. We didn't know where to go and the ticket guy just said your theater is right behind concession. Nothing more to help us. We eventually found our seats and propped up or legs for viewing enjoyment. Being able to kick back to watch a movie without someone kicking the back of your seat or your having to stand or scrunch up when someone goes past to get out was so good! And $5 Tuesday movies? Fans we are!!!! read more

My favorite theater in columbus and I had no idea this gem was here until I moved to the area! $5 movies on Tuesdays for everyone (but they are very busy!) and $5 movies for students on Thursdays which includes a free popcorn! This is a better time to go if you're a student because it is far less busy than Tuesdays. The facilities are clean and the concession line movies quickly even if it is busy. Plus, the theater seats are AMAZING. They are huge and they recline. You can even lift up the arm rest in between two seats if you want to snuggle up with your date. Parking lot is plenty spacious. I highly recommend visiting this theater! read more

Oh. My. GOSH. THE LEATHER ELECTRONIC RECLINERS. This place is ridiculous. This is the first I've experienced the new seats and they are crazy. Blew my mind. I also could buy tickets online to what ended up being a sold out show. So that was nice, too. Great experience. read more

I like this cineplex. I have a few reasons: There are a bunch of good bars and restaurants right nearby if you want to do some combo of dinner/drinks/movie. The place is easy to get to. Unless you want to go to a 5:30 showing on a weeknight, the traffic at Crosswoods is pretty easy. And parking is a breeze. The theater is not brand-spanking new, but it isn't threadbare or otherwise run down. The staff is friendly. The popcorn is hot. The drinks are cold. The cinemas and restrooms are pretty clean. It is not "in" for the young crowd. Yes, I'm listing that as a positive. As a dude in his mid-30's, I'm OK with not having to bulldoze tweens to get in and out of the building. And there is far less texting during the movie... I will probably continue to make the Marcus my go-to for movies. read more

It's been a while since I was last at the Marcus-Crosswoods. My husband decided he wanted to see the latest Star Wars movie and he picked Marcus. The overgrown grass and surrounding restaurants that have changed hands multiple times left me skeptical. I was completely WRONG. We entered and all kiosks were working and we got our tickets in less than one minute. We had a small line at the concession stand, but it went quickly. Food and pop is expensive, like every theater in town, so it's expected. The real value is inside the theater...oversized dream loungers so you can recline far back and get totally comfortable! With room for people to still be able to get through the isle! Since I get chilly in the AC, I especially appreciated the arm that raises turning the recliners into a snuggly love seat. (Not sure my hubby loved that part but I was nice and comfy). The whole theater felt new and not worn at all. The ladies room IS a bit outdated and worn out but it was totally clean and well stocked and I don't go to the movies for the bathroom experience so it didn't bother me. We since moved so it's not as convenient but we're definitely coming back to this theater! My pick over Lennox and Easton ANY day! read more

Best movie theatre in Columbus. I always love coming here with my little family. The staff is always so courteous and accommodating.

Came here because a friend had a gift card & was willing to buy my ticket. I liked the reclining seats & the building seemed well taken care of. Movie quality was standard & sound was also good. Nice place if you enjoy family owned theatres. read more

Very clean and comfortable! Staff is attentive and quick to resolve any concerns! Great atmosphere and movie selection. The lines can get a little long but other than that its an excellent place esp for families! Side-note: Tues and Thursday can get busy in afternoon and evenings.. the best time is daytime. read more

This looks like your average movie theater from the outside and maybe even worse for wear because of the pot holes on the roads to get to the theater. Do not let any of this deceive you. This theater is amazing! Just like a lot of other reviewers have noted, this is the only theater I will now go to if I have any say. Marcus Theaters takes the movie experience and elevates it. There is a bar in the lobby with a lounge area. They have two TVs against the bar wall and a wall projector close by that will play movies, live TV and sports, etc. You can also order food from Zaffiro's in the lounge area apart from the regular concession stand movie fare. They once had a bruschetta appetizer that my friend and I used to split. The staff would be kind enough to even give us two separate boxes, and a half portion would fill us both up. Unfortunately, they no longer have this as a food option, so I recently tried Zaffiro's "Thincredible" Pizza. They mean thin! It's like a cracker with sauce, cheese, and toppings. I'm not sure if I would get it again since pizza crust is one of my favorite parts of pizza, but it's $8 for a medium one topping pizza on Tuesdays and they'll even offer to deliver it to your movie theater if you don't want to wait. The actual theater experience is the reason why I keep coming back. Who wouldn't love reclining leather seats? Picking out your seats ahead of time also reduces the hassle of having to go early to get the best seats. Tuesdays are $5 films all day for members (super easy and free to sign up) and Thursdays are also $5 for those with a student ID. They will give free popcorn to members and students on these days as well. Also try to see what promotions are going on. They have discount movie series that play throughout the week and sometimes even on weekends. These film series range from holiday themed to Oscar nominated and even films for kids. They often have anniversary releases of some of your old film classics too. I once saw an old Hitchcock film here. Needless to say by how long this review is, I can't imagine experiencing a film new or old any other way. read more

Marcus Crosswoods Cinema - Zaffiro's Thincredible thin-crust sausage pizza - they mean cracker thin - Cinema Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

One of my favorite movie spots in Columbus. The dream loungers are amazing and comfortable. It really makes you feel like you're at home. The concession is wonderful too. They have a great selection and the portions for things like pretzels and nachos are huge! I've never utilized them, but there's also a bar and pizzeria available. One of my favorite things is the rewards card. It has some great benefits. Everything from tickets to food gets you reward points that can be cashed in for some fantastic advantages. Finally, Tuesdays are $5.00 for any admission to any movie on any type of screen at any time of day. It's a great deal. Also, if you're still a student, the $5.00 rate applies to Thursdays as well (with a valid student ID). P.S. - This place is always clean. No sticky floors or dirty bathrooms. That's a HUGE plus! read more

First time trying out the large recliner seats and thought they were great! They were spacious, comfy and cozy. I will optimistically choose to believe in the dark that they were also clean, ha. The food and beverage offerings were more plentiful than I've seen (full pizza and the like), which is a plus. Side note: I will never understand who or why people order the jumbo popcorn. Unless it's being split 10 ways. Additional side note: Star Wars lived up to expectations given the pressure to deliver to both old and new fans alike. read more
