My family and I love the Civic Theatre! The whole building has been renovated recently, and the…read moreupdated interior is stunning. The seats are comfy, the bathrooms are clean, and they have a good variety of fairly priced concessions with beer and wine. There is clearly a lot of talent in New Bern, because the shows are always great and the people involved in the productions are obviously passionate about their work.

Okay, but it could be great. Here are a few suggestions…read more Your air handlers and filters could use a change. The theater's air is stale, the air is heavy, and it smells bad. The other AMC theater in town next to Academy Sports does not have this problem. The process of checking you in is slow and inefficient, unlike at the other theater. It seems an exchange training program might help. Sometimes, a business gets good at doing things poorly, so it doesn't notice how poorly it is actually performing. Making people who have purchased tickets wait in line for people who have not or making everyone wait in line while people fumble around deciding on snacks is a waste of time for everyone. Separating them (even if they check in at the snack bar) in their own line would streamline everyone through much faster and give people buying food better service, too. The theater feels run down; sections are closed off but visible, which makes it look like a failing business, it's dingy and needs a refresh of paint and other simple updates, and it's in poor shape. There are very few movie posters and no major show displays that are common at other theaters. If the point is to keep prices low by operating like a discount theater, then the prices should reflect that, too. The movie itself and the theater were ok; the seats were somewhat narrow for a modern theater, and we are surprised they don't recline as they do much of the rest of the country. The theater also had the sound up way too high. Yes, I do have some hearing sensitivity so I keep a decibel level monitor app running on my phone. It was regularly over 100 decibels and hit 125 several times. Anything over 85 is damaging. Some theaters forget because they damage the hearing of the staff who can no longer sense when the sound is too loud. I enjoy a loud movie, but when you can see people covering their ears it's a problem.

All staff members were helpful esp. trying to help me with my Fandango ticket and finding it on my phone. I'm old, what can I say. LOL The price for a soda $7 is over the top but we all know it going in. The front entry to the theatre rooms was not clean. Popcorn everywhere. There were three or four people working the counter so one should have been told to go and clean that mess up. Did not use the bathroom so can't say. This movie theatre doesn't have any real up grades but it is close by and the staff is nice. Much better review this time since my last visit in 2023.

We did not get any food but concessions had a good variety of offerings. I will say I did notice that the bathroom and floors were a little dirty for it being so early in the morning but hey, no big deal. The screen flickered a few times during the movie. The individual who checked us in and pointed us to our theater was very friendly and seemed enthusiastic. We bought our tickets online and the process was easy. For two "discounted price" adult tickets, the total came out to $26 due to a service fee being added on.

I arrived at 9:58pm for 10pm showing. I hadn't been to this theater since I was a teenager years…read moreago. While in town visiting, my friend wanted to see a movie. What stood out was the self serve popcorn! I had never seen that at a movie theater before! It was so cool! You buy the popcorn bucket and then go get your own popcorn and you can add butter as well. There is NON STOP POPCORN! You can just go back and refill. The popcorn prices were typical, in my opinion. They have hot food as well but it stops at 10pm. They also sell beer and wine. I got lucky and the staff let me get good. I ordered boneless garlic parm wings and fries. You can come back to get it or have it brought to your seat, shin is what I did. I received the food in 9 mins. The fries were HOT! The wings were an appropriate temperature And they tasted decent. I like my wings saucy and wasn't that. The prices for the hot food is actually affordable! The movie started about 10 mins after showtime, which is quick ! Left to go to the restroom as I'm used to 30 min previews. My friend told me the movie started as soon as I left. I love the promptness! I wish this type of movie theater was in the city where I live! The seats were clean and they reclined. They have little trays with cup holders for your food, which was awesome! When I was booking the tickets, I saw they even have love seat type seating on the bottom row for couples. That is so awesome and cool. When I'm in town visiting again, I would most definitely stop by here if there's a movie playing I want to see! I will note that we looked at 2 different movies and the other move cost $5 more which was confusing. It wasn't a 3D or specialty type of movie showing.

I grew up in a very small rural town in North Carolina and I fondly remember going to see movies…read morehere as a kid. Imagine my delight when I returned home for a long overdue visit and found the Cinema East Park still operating! They've added two screens to the cinema over the years but everything else looks just the same as I remember. The seats aren't fancy stadium seats, they don't recline and they are laid out with the aisle down the middle of the theater. There have been some recent updates with fancy new digital projectors (the owners have obviously spent some serious money upgrading the equipment at the theater). This may be a positive or negative depending on your view, but the deer head referenced in previous reviews is no longer hanging in the lobby. The snack bar is limited and a tad on the expensive side, but the concession quality is really great! They have Coke Zero at their soda fountain (yay!) but expect one to set you back around $6.00. You'd think a small town theater would have cheaper concessions; these are big city prices around these parts. The noteworthy popcorn was worth the cost: they have a freshness guarantee and freshly pop it every 10 minutes or so. Fresh, hot popcorn is what's advertised and it's what you'll get here. Worth every penny. Call ahead to check if there are any specials or bargain nights with discounted tickets. The theater sometimes runs specials during the week to drum up business. This is a very small town and a very small theater; I hope locals and visitors will support this place to keep it running for another 40 years! Don't be turned off by the nondescript exterior or the charmingly run down interior (with tiles and carpet that appear to be at least as old as I am). Don't go here expecting to have first-class theater seats or sound. Do go if you want to see a movie and have a great time. If you love movies like I do and you want a small town movie theater experience with "big city" crystal clear digital projection, go here. You won't be disappointed!

The theater was okay, seating fine, though my daughter though they had recliners.....lol (in Jville, Na) During the movie we could hear the other movie (SO LOUD) it had to be an action movie. It was hard for us to hear our Romcom. At the end of the movie my daughter went to tell management. Perhaps moving action movies to a different room so it would not interfere with another movie would be helpful. When we told her about how hard it disrupted our movie the cashier just said, oh, I will tell my manager. No apology or let me get the manager. Just Okay.... We will never know if management was told or if they even care. Just an apology would have been nice to come out of the staffs mouth. They need better training on how to handle complaints. Just be aware of what movie is in the next room. The wall are thin.

Giant Splotch / Lines on the Screen…read more It pains me to write this, since this appears to be a locally-owned small business - so forgive me for what I am going to say. If they can confirm they have fixed it, I will gladly take the review down. But I wanted to warn everyone. The movie screen had 3 big stains on it, like someone had thrown drinks at the screen and they never cleaned it off. Plus, there were two thin black lines that ran vertically down the screen - and in the middle of those lines, a giant splotch - the biggest of the 3 stains - about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. And in the left top corner, a frayed black box eating up that part of the screen. I really wanted to walk out and ask for a refund, but the movie had already started and I didn't want to hunt down another theater and another showtime. I also considered that I should let the staff know, but it was so obvious (6 defects in total) that I didn't bother because there is no way I was the first to bring it to their attention. We live in Emerald Isle, this is the only theater on the isle, we are big movie fans and we LIVE to support local business - so this is extremely unfortunate as it's a dealbreaker for a movie theater - a clean screen. Please get this fixed....I'm posting this on here and Google so you can easily get in touch with me if you need to.

The employees worked efficiently to complete our food orders before we headed into the movie. The theater was impressive with reclining seats and a great sound system (even though I thought it was a bit too high volume). My only negative comments are - the louder movie in the theater next door overshadowed the quieter movie I was watching. The other comment was the same commercials repeated over and over before the movie began.
