Being a nonprofit theater this movie celebrates movies with decals and memorabilia. Cinemapolis contributes to the importance to the local arts scene. Upon entering Cinemapolis, we can feel the artsy and quaint vibe. Near the front desk movie goers can play board games as a great pre-movie activity. Cinemapolis emphasizes on value and affordability. The $8.00 large popcorn tends to be easy on the pocket! The concession stand offers tea and coffee for a cold day. The theatre sells unique merchandise. Movie lovers can purchase movie-inspired clothing at the counter. Movie lovers can see "Wicked 2, For Good". What a fantastic movie! A good point to note: the theater opens at 150pm. Stop in and enjoy the ambiance of Cinemapolis.

The grounds were in good shape and the snack bar had some murals on the outside. Snacks were very cheap, but the quality of some of the food was reflective of that. I would stick to the popcorn, candy and soda here. That being said, it is important to support the snack bar at places like this. So make sure to stop in, it's what keeps them open. I would stop by here again if I was in the area, the value for the money is well worth it.

Its a bare bones drive in - so you can't expect a whole lot. Most drive-ins have vanished so…read morekeeping one alive isn't the easiest thing in the entire world. The concession stand is old and takes forever to get something, but that isn't out of the ordinary at any old movie theater either. The movie quality was above average. The sound is great, they still have the old school speakers you can put in your window (and they work) or you can use your radio. I was surprised they still have the speakers, most drive-ins have gotten rid of those long ago. The bathrooms were sub-par, but again, what do you expect for an outdoor theater operating on their last dollars. As a guy it wasn't that bad for me - I can imagine for a girl it wouldn't be the best. But for $25 myself, my girl, and her two kids watched 2 movies for $25 - that isn't bad at all. Going to the theater would have run us at least $40 per movie would be my guess.

First of all let me say that this was my first time ever going to a drive in theater. I have wanted…read moreto for years, but was never able to find a local one. My girlfriend and I were able to find this location after doing a little research. The price is outstanding. We paid $7 per ticket which gave us a double feature... Starting at 8:30 was "We're the Millers," followed by "Elysium." We were able to listen to the movies by tuning our stereo to 107.9. I think the transmitting volume may have been a little high though, when the movies got loud, the speakers got slightly distorted in the bass. There were many cars for the first showing, but we had plenty of room. Also, each spot is elevated upward for a better viewing angle. They have both male and female rest rooms outside attached to the office. Also, they have full concessions from what I saw, though I did not go in since we made our own popcorn before leaving home. All in all, an outstandingly fun time out with my girlfriend. I would definitely recommend to anyone. A word of advice: Since the movie goes through your car stereo, you will need to start your car occasionally to prevent your battery from dying. Though if it does, the staff is fully prepared to give you a jump.

Brought my girls to see Spider Man 3. Arrived 2 hours early to make sure we had a good spot when…read moreall we really had to compete with was swamp gas and mosquitos. Discovered that they were playing an R rated movie first. (Super Troopers) and a kids movie second (because that's logical... ) Asked kindly and politely since there were many other small children here, if they could possibly show the Spider-Man first. I was told no. Okay, fair enough. May I have a refund then? Also no. Proceeded to tell me that it is up to the parents discretion and that they would give me vouchers to another movie when I know that this is the last weekend they are open until next year. The audacity and attitude of a woman who is more preoccupied with ego than grace, self-righteousness, than customer service and wants to place greed over being polite and kind; can be penny wise and pound foolish and she can reap what she sows through customer feedback and subsequent public opinion. I won't ever patronize this business again based solely upon this woman's attitude and demeanor. Keepy measly $26 and invest it in some common sense.

However I've been delighted to find large crowds at (some) recent screenings ... And a few hardened cineastes like moi, at others , haw haw ... Two petty gripes: Any chance of ever getting coffee service back behind the counter again? ... I hate wrangling with the ornery keurig pods ... And, though I'm afraid this one is even more impossible -- I wish that for those of us walking back to C-town, that someone could persuade the groundskeeping powers-that-be not to chain the external steps in (endless) winter-time ... It's such a much faster & less lung-crushing way of getting back up to the top ... I guess they feel they have to do that though -- just so that if I slip on the ice & sue Uncle Ezra, that they can remind me that I stepped over the dang chains ... Oh well ... In concluding, what with all the multifarious distraction options these days, it'll probably never again be like it was in the "big 80's" -- when Statler would fill up every weekend with frat boys stomping on the floor and shouting "Tastes Great!" in unison, only to hear their coy sorority counterparts respond in coy contralto, "Less Filling!" ... before every picture ... Those were the days alright! ...

There's not often a film I desperately want to see at Cornell Cinema (most are classic films I…read morecould watch for free on Netflix, for example), but the occasional director's appearance or screening of a film that's just finished its run and thus no longer (or was never) at one of the other theaters in town makes it worthwhile (and given it's on the Cornell campus, it's much more convenient than the Regal out at the mall if you don't have a car). A couple other good reasons: the price is right for Cornell affiliates (tickets are only $5 for grad students) and the space is beautiful - the one-screen cinema is set in a soaring, classic 1920s auditorium covered in stunning murals. In the warmer months, screenings are even held outside. If you happen to be from Boston or are familiar with the Harvard Square area of Cambridge, MA, the CC is roughly Ithaca's equivalent to the Brattle Cinema or the Harvard Film Archive (it's university-managed like the HFA, but looks like and has offerings more along the lines of those at the Brattle).

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. Employees are also kind & very helpful. As a mom of 4, Hollywood Theater is definitely a win!
