    In recent years, they updated the restrooms, the screens, and projectors. Seats are still sub-par. 4-stars now.

    Lewisburg Cinema 8 - Popcorn seasonings!

    Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure when this place opened up (maybe a couple months ago?) because…read moreit didn't seem to be super-publicized or anything, butttt...it's located in the empty lot behind Lowe's, and is pretty ginormous, as far as establishments in Lewisburg go. I don't usually go out to watch movies because it gets to be rather expensive and I'm on a starving-student budget at the moment, but on Bargain Tuesdays, it's $5/ticket all day, and for movies starting before 11 a.m. on Saturdays, it's also $5. Otherwise, tickets range from $6-8 depending on how old you are. The seats here are super comfy + spacious! The popcorn and the drinks seem to be all-you-can-eat, which is a novel concept for a movie theater (at least to me). Food/refreshments at movie theaters are notoriously expensive, but considering that you can refill as many times as you want, that makes it more worth it (assuming you really do get up to get more). A small popcorn is $4.75, and the ginormous tub is $6.75, so make your decision depending on how good the movie/your company is and/or how frugal/lazy you're feeling! My favorite thing is probably the fact that they have all sorts of different toppings/seasonings for the popcorn, from your standard butter to...ranch, garlic parmesan, cheddar, caramel, and kettle corn. :D I was going to try every flavor, but got stopped up on the kettle corn, so...maybe next time!

    The theater is o.k. but the staff could be better. The "girl" selling tickets had no personality…read moreand acted like she wanted to be anywhere else but doing her job.

It beats the mega theaters. We attended the Rocky Horror Picture Show here also. It was a lot of fun. They had a theater group along with the movie. It's a cult classic.

    This Historic and Non-profit theatre which opened its doors more than 90 years ago as a local icon…read morein Grandin Village, continues to be the center of attraction of this dynamic neighborhood in the City of Roanoke. Today I decided to go visit and experience first hand the magic behind this theatre that besides showing movies and holding special events, it has and will always be the heart of this community, and as I was able to see and experience for myself offers a unique movie going experience. When I first arrived, I was fascinated with the magnificent restoration of this Historic Art Deco Architectural building. Little did I know that I was about to experience one of the best movie going experiences of a lifetime. For I discovered that a local community movie theatre is more than just a place to go watch a movie and eat popcorn. It is a place to feel the pulse of fervent community in action. At the ticket booth I was greeted by a young lady and asked to go inside to purchase my ticket because her computer was not working as it should. So I proceeded to do so and walked over to the concession stand where a lady greeted me with a warm welcome and not only sold me the ticket but after I asked her about the theatre, she gave me a personal description of key points of its structure as well as other activities that took place here. Among other things she told me about the Art Gallery on the second floor, the different viewing rooms and the two owls located in the main one, and other events and activities that they have year round including the fundraisers. Also, tonight they were having the Rocky Horror Picture Show showcased by the Tolls of Madness Troupe from Virginia Tech. The cast will dress like the ionic characters and encourage audience participation through callback lilines aimed at the screen and throwing various props as called for by the film. Needless to say the two shows for tonight were sold out. What an exciting event here in this community movie theatre in the Star City of Roanoke! One could see the excitement and enthusiasm of all the theatre employees, from the ones behind the concession stand selling the popcorn to the ones finishing putting up some light up the stairs to the second floor as part of the Halloween decorations. Inside the main viewing room I was impressed with natural red brick walls and the two owls. The chairs even though they weren't as reclinable as some of the ones in new modern theatres, they made you feel at home, maybe because they reminded me of the many time I went to my hometown movie theatre before many of them have become extinct due to lack of creative management and competition from the big new modern ones. Last time I went to one of those the room temperature was so hot to the point of being uncomfortable. But here, in this cozy and warm not so little theatre, the air-condition worked just fine and contributed to the excellent movie watching experience. As I was leaving there was a crowd of people outside waiting to come in for the Rocky Horror Picture Show; and I thought to myself: Now I know and have experienced the magic behind the Grandin Theatre and wish everyone who reads my review can do the same.

    I had time to kill during my short stay in Roanoke, Virginia. I looked around the area via Google…read moreMaps and found Valley View Grande theaters within walking distance of the Valley View Mall. I had a few hours to kill so I ended up coming to the theaters and watched a movie. Before I walked over, I looked online to see what was playing that day. After deciding on what movie was good, I walked on over and entered. The space inside was pretty large and reminded me of my favorite theater back home. Complete with a snack bar and what you'd expect from a typical movie house, I spent about 45 minutes looking and observing before buying the movie ticket and some snacks at the snack bar before heading into the movie theater for my movie. The theater lobby was nice and clean, clearly what you'd expect from a professional movie house these days. The service at the snack bar was friendly and pleasant. I had forgotten that the prices of snacks are inflated and it's because you were at the movies. Oh well, it is what it is. It's not that much more, so I just chalked it up to being on vacation. The theater itself is a semi large one with stadium seating. While the seats do not recline, there was room to put food and drinks. While I was there, only a handful of people decided to join me for the film. The theater was clean and definitely nice to see a film in stadium style viewing. I sat in the middle of the theater, so I got the full experience of the film without having to angle myself to see everything. I was glad that the movie theater had restrooms, so I didn't have to leave the theater mid film to do things and skip out on large portions of the film. I normally don't watch films while on vacation, but when I do, it's nice to have Regal here in Roanoke. The overall experience here at the Regal Valley View Grande theaters here in Roanoke was typical and yet refreshing. I hardly go to the movie theaters these days, but when I do, it was near the Valley View Mall In Roanoke, Virginia while on vacation. I was glad that the movie prices were $10, which was a nice price for a movie before 4pm. It was a nice movie experience and I'm happy that I got to watch it. Having that downtime during vacation helps with alot of things these days. While this Regal cinema is a good place to go with family and friends to catch the latest movie releases, it's not a place I'd typically would go unless I was bored. Still, glad to find this place during my vacation. The snacks were typical and movie snacks are always fun and delicious. Be prepared to spend a bit more for yourself and your friends and family. The seats were comfortable and I had a lot of room. It almost felt like watching a movie at home with a really large theater system. It was nice having that stereo surround sound that makes being in a theater that much more exciting and enjoyable. And so, if you feel the need to watch a movie while working or vacationing in Roanoke, Virginia, consider coming to the Regal Valley View Grande for a new film release or two. Whether it's to watch the latest film from Hollywood or just past the time with family and friends, you'll find and discover that it could be the hottest ticket in town. This Regal Valley View Grande theater location is centralized in Roanoke, Virginia. It's a short walk across the street near the Valley View Mall. It's physically located at 4370 Valley View Boulevard NW. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's limited parking for y'all who drive. For those of you who love public transportation, local Roanoke bus service route 15 direct services the Valley View Mall. Just walk a bit from the Mall. There's always Route 25/26 serving the airport, but you'd have to walk about 2 miles thereafter. Then of course, there's Uber and Lyft that can help you with that as well. For the most part though, spending time and watching the latest movie releases was something that I didn't think was possible in Roanoke, Virginia when I was here. Truth be told, it was a nice experience that made my vacation a better one. The snacks were delicious and the popcorn was fluffy and buttery at the same time. I rarely have popcorn, so having it with my movie with a large soda was definitely a treat. Do yourself a favor if you're in Roanoke, catch a movie here at Regal Valley View Grande. Quite possibly the highlight of your trip here. 5.0 stars for the overall experience, mostly for location and the movie choices. The seating was great and felt like I was at home with a really updated movie studio. Support local! A+

    I was seeking a niche movie that wasn't showing elsewhere and I got in here at the last minute…read more It's a convenient location, but this theater looks old. Not retro. Old. It also had as much popcorn on the floors as any I've ever been to. The movie turned out fine and nothing terrible happened, but the experience of buying a ticket at one of two kiosks (should have done it online) and dealing with the low-quality environs would not inspire me to return under any other circumstance than the one that brought me in this time.

Firstly, definitely smaller than what we've become used to up in NoVA. All the theatres were on one level along the corridor at the back of the building, with combined ticket/concession stand at the front. We wanted tho get what we consider a medium popcorn, but they only had two sizes and both in the $7-8 range, more than what each of our movie tickets cost. When asked, the staff at the counter mention a "kid's pack" that apparently comes with a tiny popcorn and other goodies. I know a lot of things are supersized over here, but it was disappointing not to be able to get a snack-sized popcorn. The theatre was cozy and there were literally only two other people in the entire room, which didn't bother us. What did bother us was how the sound was coming only from the speakers in the middle and left, and no sound coming from the right side of the screen. We alerted the staff at the concession and they came out to check it out, but ultimately it was no better by the end of the movie. This was theatre 7 by the way, and we'd go back unless the movie was in theatre 7 and the issue wasn't fixed. We do like the discounted rate for certain showings.

From the looks of this theatre we are nearing Roanokes theatre extinction. Which is sad and this review won't help but I keep my reviews unbiased and transparent. The theatre itself was incredible hard to find as it was tucked directly behind Kroger and not visible at all from the main road. I ordered tickets online $28 for one child and one adult. Got the kids box (popcorn, candy, drink) for $12 and was pleased with the price for this. Checking in at the concession stand and picking up the tickets was relatively simple. Top advice would be, don't look down. The floor was absolutely disgusting and clearly it does not get cleaned often. The carpet is probably the original and is just beyond icky. Popcorn and trash everywhere. Showtime was at 4:15. The movie didn't start until 4:40. There were multiple retirement home and retirement cruise commercials that sort of set the tone and it was clear they are marketing to elderly patrons. The theatre itself was small and the seats are old and low to the ground, my child was basically awkwardly folded up in hers the whole time as she was not heavy enough to hold it down. Small children would have a hard time seeing here. But the movie itself was good, sound was fine, screen was fine. It didn't smell despite the carpet looking like it probably should. The bathrooms were not clean either and trash was overflowing. The space is large and the staffing is probably low and young. Lots of dirty work here is not being kept up with but at the end of the day it was a movie and my daughter enjoyed it.

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and entertainment venues, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Westlake Cinema, located in Hardy, Virginia is a perfect example. Located in the right corner of the Westlake Town Center, Westlake Cinema is a four-plex movie theater featuring a total of four theater screens with varying seating capacity, all located on a ground floor. Two screens hold 128 seats each and two other hold 174 seats each, to give the venue a total of 604 seats. The theater features first-run movies, stadium seating in comfortable reclining seats, Dolby Digital Surround Sound, RealD 3D, optional hearing assistance headphones, free Wi-Fi, and a full service concession stand. I invite you to view my photographs and videos accompanying this review to get a better sense of the inside of the theater and its amenities. Previously having viewed its website and taken advantage of purchasing my ticket online for their Wed, June 10, 2026, 3:45PM showing of Masters of the Universe, I had received an email with a QR Code to conveniently check in after arriving to the theater. I figure I would arrive early to watch the previews, but when it was 3:29PM and the theater doors were still closed with no one to be seen, I began to be concerned, got out my cellphone and gave the theater a call. No one answered the call but almost right after the 7th ring I heard someone opening the theater's doors. Later I found out that their doors open at 3:30PM, only 15 minutes before the start of the movie and that the movie time is actually the time the previews start. That doesn't give guests much time to purchase snacks at the concession stand. Maybe that is why they have it that you can purchase these online as well and by showing the QR Code, they will only have to deliver the items. Like in many theaters now-a-days, the box office is obsolete. Your are directed to purchase your tickets at the concession stand. When I arrived there, four people were behind the counter: a young lady cashier, two young gentleman, and and a friendly older lady. All of them were eager to be of service and once other customers began to arrive and order, they all went to work, were very efficient, and even began to smile. I was still full from having had lunch at Cancun Mexican Restaurant & Grill, but had them scan my QR Code ticket and stayed close by observing how they handled the other few customers. They did a great job, working as a team, and you could tell they also enjoyed doing it. The screening room was modern and very clean, with nice lighting that made it very easy to walk to your chosen seat. The reclining seats were very comfortable, and the air-condition temperature was just right and very soothing. The screen view and the sound were perfect. Used to going to large cities movie theaters this was a unique, soothing, and wonderful movie theater experience, and I highly recommend the place. This community should be proud of having a theater like this one, run by such a nice group of individuals who work great as a team.
