Always a clean facility and friendly helpful staff. We go the movie theater occasionally and this location is our first choice.

Located across the street from my hotel for the week (Hampton Inn). Don't be deceived by its older style and outward appearance...The inside has a kiosk for purchasing tickets yourself, but also a staffed box office as well. Best of all, the seats are modern cushioned recliners. So comfy! You can order tickets in advance online but of course that comes with an online fee too. $5.50 for Tuesday night showings is a steal! All movies, all day, with an additional charge for 3D movies. Also on Tuesdays, get a free 44oz popcorn with the purchase of any drink! Caught a Tuesday evening showing of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which I would say had the theater more than half full. They were also showing Little Mermaid, Transformers, and Guardians of the Galaxy, and had ads for Elemental. No complaints at all with the movie projection/sound, cleanliness of the place, etc. Must be summer vacation and was also a good way to escape the Canadian wildfire smoke that week. read more

Very clean in the screening room and a lot of space. Different than the theater we have back home. Staff was friendly. And the popcorn was good. read more

Four stars because there's always room for improvement ... clean entry space , helpful and kind employees ( both at ticket and refreshment counters- they work well together to make the experience efficient ) Choose your seats at the ticket counter, most theaters are small and intimate but never seem too crowded. I suppose that is due to the lounger seats that give plenty of elbow space. The bathrooms have many stalls and have been checked regularly, it seems. When we were there just last Tuesday a gentlemen was directing everyone for clean up as he was cleaning, too. He said something like "This and this needs to be done. Whichever one can do it." I'm sure it feels good to be a part of a team and not just commanded around. WELL DONE !! Then, when we came out of the movie two gentlemen were discussing who was going to do what after we left. Refreshing to see young people working together. read more

Over priced and uncomfortable. Would rather watch a movie on a plane. Small theater that needs to be updated. Alexandria deserves better- this is proof that with no competition in the area consumers lose. Still can't believe the price is so high. In a "real" theater like in Minneapolis the cost is a lot less and the seats are comfortable (not sweat stained airplane seats like in Alexandria). The movie was good but I went to the theater for a "good experience" not just "an experience". The Quality was the same as a 1992 rear projection TV and I think the seats were made to go into a Yugo demolition car. My advice if considering going here: go to Walmart, purchase a BB gun, shoot yourself in the eye and watch a movie while staying the night at the hospital...it's probably cheaper and more comfortable. read more

Best theater ever! Awesome people, comfortable theaters, a lot of variety at the concession and amazing movies! read more

This theater has been around a while, pretty standard movie theater. I was able to pay by debit card, contrary to some reviewers. I loved the movie popcorn carpeting, so cute! The seats were bizarre, high and forcing me to slouch uncomfortably. I went there with three 6th grade girls and when I couldn't get comfortable, I looked over at them to find them all leaning forward, not even using the backs of their seats. Theater temperature and sounds were good. Something to do on a rainy day at the lake in March. read more

What a shockin day. We go to the theatre to celebrate mommas day for my beautiful wife and here corker of a mum. We are excited as it's the first family outting since my accident. I'm currently in a chair only way to get around. I bit the bullet took my pain meds gritted my teeth in the hopes we could try have a lovely day out. We book our five tickets I explain I can move from the wheelchair to a comfy seat. We go in and they don'thabe what we asked for. they've got four seats and a spot for me to remain in the wheelchair. So we move. Next thing in comes a manger upset about seating and that we aren't in the right seats. I explain the situation. I ordered a seat not just a feckin parking spot. She goes on ranting nd the whole thing is mortifying. It gets sorted everyone gets a seat. After wards I wheel over to speak to her politely as I'm not happy She proceeded to stop listening to my words talk over me and say it was all my fault for not telling the guy selling tickets I needed a real seat. I tried to explain that we had done just that. She rudely turned away nd carried on with what she was doing. I'm just shocked. This was my first real outting into the world wheelchair bound since my accident Furthermore it was a celebration of appreciation for two wonderful mommas. The rudeness and blatant disregard from cinema 9's manager is extremely annoying Very disappointing. read more

Truly, this is the worst theater I have ever been to which is strange to say because I really love movies and theaters. I have given it several chances, assuming each bad experience was an isolated event, and every time I end up extremely upset with both theater and service. Theater lights are way too bright and are on for the duration of the movie which obscures the screen and service has always been rude and unhelpful. I have even had my signature on a slip made fun of by staff the minute my back was turned. Their equipment has broken down while I've been mid-movie and the spokesperson was extremely condescending to the movie patrons and was resistant to refunding the money. Openly they only offered vouchers to come back that night for the movie and needed to be hounded for a refund. When it come right down to it, I'd rather wait for movies to come to redbox than to go here again. FYI: about 20 min away Sauk Centre has a nice little theater. Never had a problem there. read more

LOVE the new theaters and seating! Such an amazing improvement! I am so glad to see this theater get the updates it needed and then some!

Great theater. Really comfortable, fresh, hot popcorn, small theaters, not too expensive. My new favorite theater.

Cute theater, nothing too fancy. Its weird because they only accept cash at the ticket window but will take cards at concession stand.

I've been here a couple of times with my wife and kids (4 & 7). We've never really been impressed. Basically the only place close by to see a movie. First off, they don't take debit or credit cards, which is unheard of in this day and age. Today when we attended they filled my large popcorn only 75% full. Their 3-D glasses are horrible. Very uncomfortable and give a low quality picture and they don't fit little kids. The people are friendly, which is a plus. read more

This is the best theater I have been to in a while. The prices were lower than I expected, the popcorn was actually tasty, the seats were comfortable, the picture quality was great, and the sound wasn't excruciatingly loud. read more

This place was honest ass like these people had the worst service I was treated like a minority and the price for popcorn and drink was outrageous. I would rather just stream the movie for free on streaming sites. I sincerely hope this place gets put out of business. read more

Not great. Does the bare minimum. They FINALLY accept debit and credit cards ONLY if you are spending like over 25 dollars. There are only 3 or 4 good theaters. The reast have smaller screens and worse seats and accorse only the very popular mainstream movies are shown in the good theatres... Since they are the only theatre in the area (read: monopoly) I will sadly have to keep viewing films here... read more

Fun movie theater, but I preferred it before Cec Theaters. I liked the big bucket of popcorn more than the bags, and even if they ask for butter and you say no, you still get butter anyways because it is pre-buttered, it's still pretty good popcorn though. The reclining seas are definitely a plus. read more

Love this theater! The seating is great, the employees are nice, and this is just a great place to be! I can't wait to go back! :)

THIS is ridiculous! They only have handicapped seating in 3 of the 7 screens there! I had to again sit-in back of everyone else. If you look at the photos you will see not room for a wheelchair without being in the way. I had no cupholder nor place to put my popcorn as I can not reach the floor at all in my chair. I have emailed them regarding this & the doors not being very handicapped accessible. There are no auto doors or buttons to open so we have to struggle. I was embarrassed because I was in the way & had to ask Todd to hand me soda & popcorn. He went to speak to a manager about it & she not only agreed but also gave us the owners number plus mentioned that she found it odd he keeps it that way as he was in a massive accident & had his legs rebuilt. So he SHOULD understand but doesn't. His answer before was to come on senior matinee Wednesday & said that there is always someone to open the door However every time we go there is NO help & we struggle to get through a door barely big enough to get a wheelchair through. I am going to contact him tomorrow & record the conversation. I will also be sending letters to papers & news networks. Being in the field of video based social media & an online content creator I think it's time I spoke for not just me but everyone else who is forced to sit behind the people they came with to see a movie & not have the bare necessity to make their way around the place which is the ONLY decent theater around unless I want to drive an hour to St Cloud which for me is a very hard trip in a car as the sitting in there is very uncomfortable. I think it's time to teach the owners about basic human rights & how to treat EVERYONE with respect & appropriate access. read more

Very nice small town theater. Prices are a bit high, but when you consider that refills are free on large pops and popcorns, it's not so bad. Also, anyone who is not an illiterate fool and has the slightest bit of common sence can see that debit and credit cards are indeed accepted, and have a minumum to be used. They are accepted, with a minimum purchase amount. Movie quality is actually quite good, thanks to the digital projectors the theater has installed. Some people that may be high maitenece pains in the butt, and complain about such a silly thing, but do not be fooled by those people that think others care that they cant be satisfied by anything in life. Those people can complain unitll they realize they are just hard to please losers and need to go get a life. But, unitll that happens, please do not take those people's word and miss out on a great movie expirence. Seats are just fine, not sure how anybody would find them uncomfortable, and I'm sure that anybody that does is just another one of those dudes I spoke of above.The employees are alway very nice and helpful. My advice to anyone that does not find this theater to be a good one would be to go to Walmart, purchase a BB gun, shoot yourself in the eyes so you go blind and won't be able to find your computer and spread horrible lies about a great little theater, and put false reviews on a site as well respected as this one. I apologize if that last line was from something else, but in conclusion, great theater! read more

For The third time in the last 2 months my husband and I have walked out mid movie. We asked who was responsible for the movie choices and was told it was the owner of the theatre. We are not prudes and we try to educate ourselves about the choices listed. We understand that you are trying to satisfy many tastes. We like movies that tell an entertaining story and do it with good actors and quality production. A variety of topics is desirable and of course, cartoons and family fare. Also, change movies more often. Some of the better movies you have shown you have run for such a long time that we had no choices left and we only go once a week. We finally decided one week that we had seen so many bad movies that we'd see Jungle Book with the kids. Maybe it's time to re think some of your choices or find someone else to give it a try. It's hard to believe that a new person could be worse than some of the stuff we have watched this Spring. Sincerely, Mary S. read more
