Their id policy is not presented as well as it is enforced.

The staff member was not polite about enforcing the policy as well. He told us they need space in the theater and there's a lot of people trying to attend. We bought tickets 2 days prior. The amount of staff members used as a security team makes the theater feel suffocating and like you're constantly watched.

But I returned from a 13 wk crisis contract in LA to find that they had ratcheted their prices up by 100%, by vitue of their new 'first run!' gimmick. Crushing. You can still catch a $3.50 movie, but only classics, and only a few are ever offered. I loved having a true cheap seats theater in town (as any good town should) where you could see a new movie for less just by waiting a bit longer. It's truly a shame. You might as well pay a few extra bucks and go to Century. I will still go occasionally, but I guarantee I will spend FAR less money there now at $7 than I would have at $3.50. I realize we are in trying times, but this is just seems like a gouge. Otherwise decent staff, great popcorn, presentable facilities, quiet atmosphere. For the record, this would be 5+ stars a year ago. I was tempted to rate lower, but have to give some credit for their years of past radness.

I am going to sound old now - but when I was kid the movies were 99 cents. you gave the attendant $1 and you got a penny back. they kept the rates low for years. granted the movies were always 6 months late coming to town but still the admission was only $.99. The prices now are higher but well worth it. if you are in the area stop by and support a long standing NW Iowa business.

If you have never visited a small town theatre, try this one as it is a pleasure to see.

The theatre area is always kept nice and its great to see the craftmanship of the age. I hope this review reaches people and they visit this theatre. It's worth the cost. Please drive if you live a distance, you will not be disappointed. Plenty of close parking. I would love to see this and other theatres like it flourish as they did in the past, it makes for a fantastic date night reminicient of older times. Right on Main Street, hometown USA.
