Worst movie experience of my life! When I first got there I got a popcorn and a pretzel, the…read morepretzel was old and rubbery, inedible and the popcorn was cold and stale, for a matinee, first movie of the day, the popcorn was obviously from the night before. Then when we get into the movie in cinema 1 the screen is so dirty that every dark scene its all you see. So distracting. Then as the movie was wrapping up, we are watching the credits waiting for the after credits scene we know is there because we looked it up, and they shut off the movie! They literally stopped the movie before the last scene! Do yourself a favor and just drive to midland for any movie.

Maybe not the largest screen, but more than adequate. The concessions are normal, nothing unique. Comparing apples to apples, or in this case small town cinema to small town cinema, this is a perfectly solid 4 star review. Would I return? Absolutely.

This was an unexpected treat on our summer vacation…read more With the pandemic having every movie theater in our hometown shut down, I was intrigued and later delighted to find out that the Bellaire theater was not only open but showing a couple of movies that I hadn't seen before. For just a few dollars plus snacks my two kids and I had a wonderful experience seeing Raiders of the lost Ark in this beautiful old theater. We have an old movie house in our hometown, but it's nowhere near as well-maintained as this one. Everything about the theater is clean, and inviting. Great lighting, soft chairs, and a great sound system. I felt like I had stepped back into the 1980s when I used to go see movies in theaters like this. The staff that took care of us that evening was terrific as well, even bringing the popcorn out to my son when it was ready. When this darn pandemic is over I certainly hope this place gets a fresh influx of money from visitors, it deserves to keep going.

This theater was built in 1940. It is extremely well preserved in the Art Deco style. It has a very…read morenice angle to the seating. Not as severe as stadium seating in modern theatets but impressive for it's age. The seats are very comfortable and more impressive is there is plenty of leg room. The sound and picture are perfect. The concessions are very old school but acceptable. Sodas are the Traverse City Pop Company, can't remember their name. The only real downside is the bathrooms are up some very narrow stairs. Overall to me this was a 5 star experience. Will I return. Yes, I love this theater.

Of course, the ceiling black light mural is a delight for the eyes as well. But let's be honest. A big part of the attraction is the popcorn. This has got to be the best movie popcorn in the country. One taste and you'll have a hard time going back to the styrofoam they serve at the megaplexes. Going to the movies at the Cinema is an experience that transcends whatever happens to be showing on the screen...

I finally came this summer, when they were playing Barbie. We purchased tickets earlier in the day and ate dinner next door to make sure we got good seats. That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor. So much history has been maintained while adding modern comfort. The popcorn is also tasty and they carry local soda.

Not only was the movie so loud my ears were ringing when we left, the dialog was drowned out by the volume.
