    A Happy Customer With Icee
    Keyonda A.

    I would definitely recommend this theater to anyone who loves movies. Anyone who loves the theater atmosphere. This location is definitely an abandoned gem. I've been to the drive-in next door to this location but never gave it any thought to visit Bianchi. I decided to give it a try to see Harold and the Purple Crayon. This theater is beautiful from the inside out. It looks brand new to me. I'm a movie junkie so of course I signed up for their rewards program. Still not sure how it works but will eventually find out from the many times, I plan to visit. Ordering tickets online is a breeze. Nothing is complicated and the communication is awesome. My hubby is in his senior years so I was able to purchase a ticket at a senior rate for him. Once ordered, they communicate through email and supply you with a barcode to be scanned. You enter the parking lot off of Rosecrans onto Bianchi Way and make a right. Making a left would lead you to the drive-in theater. There's plenty of parking. They have a beautiful fountain which is photo worthy, alone or with friends. I deeply appreciated Samantha for calling us up by asking "who had online tickets". It felt good to move through the line under that provision. She was polite and very informative. The team members at the concession stand worked very productively. We stood in line but before we knew it, we were being handled by Ruby. Very polite and outgoing. I totally appreciate that this theater serve you snacks that are cozy and nostalgic. The nachos especially. Other theaters serve a box with chips and a small thing of cheese. Not this location!!!! Those nachos were old school. The kind you would purchase back in the day from an ice cream truck. The Icee was perfect and the popcorn was a generous portion for a medium. The auditorium was beautiful and private. The way it's situated, it gives couples an opportunity to sit alone. And those who like to sit to the back extra back support. To be honest, on my visit it was actually a treat because my hubby and I practically had the theater to ourselves. A father and son showed up but we were pretty much it. The restrooms were very clean and plenty. Also if you're a gamer, there's a mini arcade upstairs. They even have a mini dining area. I'm definitely coming back. This theater is gorgeous, simple and gives their customers everything they need to have a good time.

    This is my home movie theater. It's been here since I was a kid so I've been coming here for years. It's not the best. I believe only one theater in here has the recliner seats but the rest are those old school folding chairs which aren't too comfortable. Upstairs is an arcade with a small amount of games available. The concession stand is standard your basic popcorn, nachos, icees, etc. Very busy on Tuesdays because movie tickets are only $5.00, worth it in my opinion, if you plan on coming early in the morning on Tuesday just be aware the swap meet gets full and parking becomes limited when I went.

    I have been coming to this theater since 2018, I came back in 2019, 2022 and now 2024, best place to come to see a movie.

    My first time going to this theatre; less crowded, cheaper than the other theatres. Quiet, clean & I heard they got recycling chairs in certain rooms. Across the street is a Drive-In Theatre!

    Very first time at this theatre and I was a bit skeptical from all the reviews. My fiancé and I went to see a movie pretty early around 7pm so there was still light out and not much people but it looked like a really nice place. Unlimited parking so no hassling on looking for any, beautiful inside - it looks like you walked into a different world! There's seating inside for waiting/hanging out, an upstairs area, beautiful colors inside and good theatre snack options. Inside the theatre it was nice I would say it's not as clean as other theaters especially the chairs (that's my reason for the -1 star). Service is nice and it was fun to go to a local theatre that has gotten better. I'm not sure about how it was before but from what I read to what I experienced it has changed. I recommend giving it a try :)

    Nasty nachos

    Cool theater not to busy prices are way cheaper then at the mall or amc but they didn't have any personal pizzas on a Saturday and the nachos are trash ugh, overall it's a good family theater for sure. Oh we went to see boss baby btw

    Great intimate clean environment. I was surprised to see that they sell burritos, quesadillas,…read moretacos along with the typical movie theater snacks! I tried the beef barbacoa tacos and surprisingly, they had good taste. The only downside... quite small. The service was good, the lobby, restrooms were clean. The seating was spacious and comfortable with reclining seats! Will definitely be going back!

    As smaller, independent cinemas come, this is a pretty nice theater - clean environment,…read morecomfortable seating, quality screens and sound. It was also the closest theater to me playing the Peaky Blinders movie, since it opened in limited release. You can book ahead on Fandango, save the QR code ticket to your phone wallet, and scan at the door (though I do miss saving physical ticket stubs!). In my particular auditorium (3), the handicap accessible seating is in the very back and not the front like many other traditional theaters. Giving 4 stars though because seated in the back row, there is a huge bar on the left separating this back row from the accessible seating. You have to enter and exit from the right unless you crawl between this bar - which is probably tricky with concessions. In the event of an emergency, having this black bar cutting off quick access to the hind exits seems like somewhat of a safety hazard. Why is this there to begin with? Other than that, if you like reclining seats you'll certainly enjoy Milagro's. You can adjust the footrest, the angle of the seat, even the headrest. I have simple tastes, but found the recliners comfortable after figuring out which button changes what. Theater location seems kind of random, i.e. at the end of a strip mall. But there's ample parking in the lot and some restaurants nearby if you prefer to grab dinner before a show.

We were able to score a free ticket this visit, which makes up for the lack of recliners. Concessions are also fairly inexpensive compared to other theaters. SC is a solid, budget-friendly choice for a night out.

    Disclaimer: This isn't a luxury theatre…read more During a time where it feels like I'm being nickel and dimed everywhere and self-service kiosks are replacing people (i'm looking at you regal LB town center), I'm happy Starlight Theatre exists. They know what they are, a value driven theatre that's run by real people with outdated but not dirty bathrooms. The most expensive tickets are $13 w/out service fee and value days are $5 for ALL movies without having to pay a membership fee (cough AMC). The concessions aren't ridiculously overpriced, theatres are clean but not spotless, they have some stadium seating theatres, they have FREE flavored popcorn seasoning, and they invest in Americas future by hiring high schoolers during a time when those types of jobs are being replaced by tech. Also, the "previews" aren't 20 minutes long like the other theaters. If you're looking for a place to impress your first date, don't take them here.

    Absolutely love this place. I've watched so many great movies here, from Spider-Man to Deadpool,…read moreand every visit has been a great experience. There's something special about watching movies at a drive in that regular theaters just can't match. The area itself is nice and spacious, and one of my favorite things is opening up the back of a large suburban car, setting up blankets, and getting super cozy while watching the screen. It feels relaxed, fun, and perfect for spending time with friends or family. The cafeteria is another big plus. The food is surprisingly good and very affordable, which makes it easy to grab snacks or meals without overspending. It definitely satisfies cravings and adds to the overall experience. If you're looking for a fun, nostalgic, and comfortable way to watch movies, Paramount Drive In Theaters is a must visit. Highly recommend.

    4.5 stars My husband…read moreand I ($26 for the two of us) went and watched Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie here and I would like to say it was a fun experience for the most part. We enjoyed watching the movie and not bothering anyone else with our little one too much(under a year old). I would like to say that it was our first time here and though we made it on time for our movie when I tried calling ahead 10 minutes to show time to see if (ex) a 7:30 show time is a hard start to a movie or there's trailers no one was there to answer the phone and I was already going to run 10 minutes late to my movie, I tried 3+ times. I'm the type of person who hates missing anything in a movie as it ruins the experience for me. I really wish that they had someone to watch the phone incase someone else had those kinds of questions. I will say for anyone wondering as of right now I don't THINK a (ex) 7:30 show starts exactly at 7:30 but more like 7:40. I would have to come again to see. The audio for the movie was great and the only "glitches" we had was when my car fully turned off every so often or Siri heard her name when no one spoke it (personal phone glitch). The visual on the screen was good too for the most part but might have been better if my windows weren't so bad. At the snack stand they had hotdogs, popcorn, some good selection of ice cream etc. , I wish I got the menus picture. I got myself a bottle of soda and two pizza slices. The pizza wasn't great but it was edible at least. I will say it's a great thing to that at the snack stand they have the option for you to buy a radio so you don't have to use your cars battery. But if your car does die, like someone's did, they are able to jump it for you. I would say one of the funnest parts, to an animal lover like me, was the fact they have cats that roam the theaters parking lot/outdoor area. They are shy creatures but a pure black one an employee nicknamed toothless was real sweet.

A lot of them are one day only special showings and some are played a couple days, so definitely follow their socials to see what's going to be showing next. They also have their own film club that you can join with discounts and benefits too. They also have their own merchandise too and participate in a lot of local community events, which is always neat. Love to see that. Concessions are also affordable, unlike at large chain theaters. Huge plus. I came back here again recently to watch the Bang Dream! 10th Anniversary concert showing. Lots of cosplayers, wota doing wotagei (Google it, you won't be disappointed) during the showing (testament to how chill welcoming this theater is), and we did a group photo at the end together and there was a merch gathering in front. Absolute W. Since it is a smaller theater, the restrooms can get super busy with lots of people there for a singular event, so keep this in mind if you have to time your restroom breaks best on intermission etc. My only qualm, though might makes sense based on context, but the seats were super uncomfortable (though I was sitting for 5 hours for a very extended showing) and my lower back and butt muscles were cooked. Maybe bring a cushion or something for the next visit.

They play many classics, horrors, and diverse films that are selected. Other movies currently playing include Gremlins and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You can go on their website and check out their movies. I would definitely go back and catch a movie again at The Frida Cinema. You can also rent the venue for film screenings, birthday parties, etc.
