    This is my first time here at the theater since the upgrade to the IMAX. We arrived on the opening night of Captain America on February 13. All of the exterior window windows were previously there were people selling you tickets have been covered in vinyl sign wrapping. This first look dates a theater. Upon walking inside, all you see is a cheesy 90s theater that has some cheap accents to try to distract you. There's some random set up of a fly grey arms chairs in two long tows back to back. They do not look comfortable and there's no way you could sit in one of these and not have your conversation clearly by the immediate chair right behind you. They have kiosks for self check in but look like the cheesy low cost version of ones at Cinemark. The concessions aesthetics are super, super cheesy looking and that includes the 90s looking bar to the right with bartenders. The concession prices are wildly expensive. The ICEE branded paper cups were very misleading and are priced at $9 with tax. The soda being dispensed was all off branded flavors-cola, blue prawns cherry. There is only one size . Oddly, when you self check out, that is where you will find the commemorative large cups for each movie in the theater. The popcorn buckets are also randomly placed. There are helpful staff guiding you through the concessions and as you fumble your way through self checkout with the same scanners used at Publix. Let's move onto the theater. We sat a couple of rows from the back in sears 13/14. I was in seat 14 and the speaker was really close. It is so insanely loud-I could not sit there. I moved to seat 11 but still I had to use my fingers the entire time to block the deafening decibels that made the movie experience not enjoyable. It was not DOLBY SURROUND SOUND. Just giant speakers not balanced. I told my husband I won't be back to see another IMAX here. The IMAX AT World Golf never had these issues. The surround sound was balanced. The screen is half the width of the one at WGV too. Barely sized to be a IMAX. Hubby liked the laser screen. The seats really suck. I am 5'2 and I had to hop into the recliner to get in. My feet were about 12 inches from the floor. The recliners we not as comfortable as the ones at Cinemark. They were like a cheap couch, hard and not buttery. My hsuanf is 6'1 and his legs were too long. The end of the foot rest hit him at his mid-calf. The controls were not the best. For some reason they have a USB CHARGER. Are we charging our phones and talking during a movie? I miss the heat that Cinemark has with their recliners because this theater is cold. Te recliners are hard on your butt to me. The theater was very clean. Tickets to IMAX are $17 a piece. The concession prices are outrageous. What you get it not worth it. But due to the deafening sound of the speakers -won't be back. My husband said he thought they were trying to do the 80s vibe but in 2025. I think it is tacky decor. He was not a fan of Epic compared to Cinemark. It's like comparing a privately owned mom and pop old school theater to a high end corporate theater. Nothing was designed with the guest in mind. We live just 10 min away but we will gladly drive to Durbin Park. Let me go home and have a Tylenol because of the headache from the poor sound. The popcorn is already bagged and not kept in a warmer like at other theaters. As a result it is not freshly popped. I don't think they get enough people here because we went on opening night of Capt America and there were 17 people in the theater.

    The concessions area is very confusing. There was no one there taking your orders, as it is self serve/self check out. This also caused the area to be very messy (popcorn just spilled across the counter, bags randomly placed), which is a "no no" in any establishment serving food. I had to ask someone opening bags of merchandise near concessions for some nachos, as they were advertised, but nowhere in sight. The set up was just very unorganized and unsanitary. Once in the theater, we got to our seats and they were filthy. Leftover popcorn and trash from the previous screening were all over our seats. I thought the theater crew came in after each movie to clean in for the next group? Oh, and the recliners? Mine was broken and only came up 1/3 of the way. I didn't leave because my little one was super excited to watch the movie, but it was not a pleasant experience for me. Epic theater? What an Epic fail.

    Went to see a movie on a rainy evening in St. Augustine. The theater was all self-service with an attendant watching. We purchased our ticket at a kiosk. The concession area was all self-service too. I was so surprised how small the movie theater was. Only three rows with the first two rows being too close and the last row was already sold so I had to sit on the second row. Although they did have recliner chairs, they stiff and were not comfortable.

    I recently took a trip to St. Augustine to check out the new Epic Theatres and what a treat! We enjoyed a little red carpet action, treats from the concession-complete with pour your own popcorn that's refillable. I was excited to find out that the movie we'd be watching was the highly anticipated Mufasa! We got to enjoy it in the XL IMAX theatre with comfy reclining chairs, digital surround sound with Dolby 7.1 audio, and 4K Projection! If you're a movie goer, this is the way to watch a feature film! Definitely add Epic Theatres to your list! It'll be a nice treat!

    So the facilities are quite nice. Satisfactory. However the staff is barely alive, no affect, no customer service. However that's not a big deal totally understandable. What's not ok is how dirty the theatre was, nasty, popcorn in almost every seat, paper towels everywhere, three cupholders drenched with half dried soda dripping down the seats. Overall it seemed the cleaners didn't even attempt to do a mid showing clean for hours. Very dissapointing especially since the theatres themselves and the reclining chairs are very high quality

The seats are comfortable- large, reclining, and can also be heated (which is a very nice treat during the record cold temperatures outside). The popcorn is always tasty. You can add as much or as little butter as you prefer. There are a variety of other food options as well such as pizza and chicken tenders. You can even indulge with a milkshake or a cocktail! I love that they serve coke products and especially coke icees!! Also, it wouldn't be a theater without a large selection of candy to choose from. Of course I think all movie theater candy is overpriced but it's part of the experience. I especially appreciate the ease of purchasing tickets online and having the opportunity to select your seats ahead of time! It certainly alleviates the stress of worrying about being able to seat your party together and gives you the ability to pick the exact seat you want. Overall, always a great experience at Cinemark Durbin!

The 270-degree panoramic setup with the main screen plus the two side screens made us feel like we were basically inside Pandora. At one point I wasn't sure if I was watching a movie or if Jake Sully was about to ask me to pass the popcorn. Speaking of popcorn: excellent. The pepperoni pizza? Surprisingly legit for movie theater food. And the soda options--so many choices it felt like a soft drink buffet. Major win. The atmosphere was super comfortable. The air wasn't freezing (thank you, Cinemark, for not turning the theater into an Arctic survival test), and the recliner seats were perfect. Even for a long movie like Avatar, we were comfortable the entire time. No back pain, no seat shifting, no regrets. Now, full honesty: there were a few slower parts where you could tell some people were this close to falling asleep. Not because the theater was boring--but because it was that comfortable. If you doze off for a minute, honestly, that's on James Cameron. Overall, fantastic experience. Great food, great comfort, and ScreenX alone is worth the trip. We'll definitely be back--hopefully for something a little shorter... or with caffeine next time.

    Wonderful theater! I simply can't believe I haven't reviewed the IMAX before now…read more It is a huge theater, yet when you enter the lobby it has a small, welcome feel that is nice. The staff is always super friendly and the popcorn is always fresh! For our first 5 years here, my family and I had an annual pass. Such an amazing deal that was! You could get unlimited documentaries and 50% off newly released movies. Plus, you got coupons for free drinks and popcorn. In addition, each member received one free entry to the World Golf Hall of Fame Museum. And there used to be mini golf available that was unlimited as well. We've seen it change over the short time we've lived here and sadly, they don't get the patronage you'd think. From what I understand, from the start they were supposed to have an off ramp going directly to the area...but that changed and it didn't happen, and inadvertently hurt the area from the start. A lot of folks don't even realize there is an IMAX here or anything else. I suppose for most folks it is rather hidden back in the World Golf area. So sad really. The area has so much potential and the theater was one of the main things that was holding on. But they can't hold on anymore. That said, the time is coming very soon for them to close their doors for good. If you haven't checked out the IMAX and want to...you better hurry up! The theater and museum were going to stay open until December, but are now both closing their doors 1 Sep. Check out their website for showtimes. Yes, yes...there is a ton of parking and it's easy to find and a nice walk from any parking lot in the area. If you aren't familiar with the area, then use your GPS. It is a pretty drive back in here as well. Once you get here, you may be pleasantly surprised...it is very pretty. I'm sad Shell is closing this location, but I get it. I surely hope another theater group picks up where Shell is leaving off and reopens this theater again one day. It will certainly be missed!

    So Palatka is a small town and they definitely like to keep things simple here. Which is why I…read moredon't expect a large and fancy theater. This one is definitely not. It only has three theaters and are typically the most popular movies at the time. We've been a couple times and they are usually big box office movies that we know will be there. The tickets are super cheap, I think we paid $5-$7 max on a ticket and you purchase them at the concession counter that takes up the left side when you walk in and on the other are some arcade games. It's not super new, it feels a little dirty and old, but it's not terrible all things considered. Inside the theaters there are a good amount of seats with pretty stiff seats which thankfully have cupholders. Where my gripe really comes into play is with the cleanliness of the theaters. If you make the mistake of looking up you will see that the ceiling isn't covering all the piping and whatnot up there. And everything has just an incredible film of dust. It's just awful to look at. At any given moment I'm afraid that the vibrations from the sound will just knock a giant blanket of years worth of dust over everyone. How the employees are constantly sneezing or getting sick is beyond me. Other than that, the theater is nothing fancy, but a decent place to watch new movies. I believe it's the only option within maybe 30-45 minutes and I'm sure we will be back again.
