What a unique and wonderful find!…read more I wanted to see a movie that came out less than two weeks ago, but when I searched showtimes my usual (closer to home) theater had no more showings. But Maine Film Center was listed with showtimes, so I decided to give this new place a try! And I'm so glad I did! The building and amenities are all new and stunning! The theater was small but had very comfortable seats (all with cup holders). The audio and visual quality was excellent too. I bought a small popcorn too and it was the best popcorn I've ever had at a movie theater! The popcorn kernels had great natural flavor and were enhanced only with a sprinkle of salt and the optional butter, which tasted like real melted butter. There was no taste of icky oils and powders like at other movie theaters. However, for those wanting a bolder flavor, there was an array of popcorn seasonings on the counter for customers to add to their popcorn if they so choose. The staff was also pleasant and helpful, helping me with my transactions, pointing me in the direction of restrooms, and answering any of my questions. I highly recommend the Maine Film Center and I look forward to going back!

I was in Skow for my sons graduation and we were bored so he and his gf took me to the Strand to see the latest Pirates of the Caribbean flick. I was super stoked to sit in an actual balcony. It reminded me of being a kid. That alone was worth 25 bucks. The theater was clean and IMHO beautiful in its own way. Like a total throw back in time. NOw, I am not sure I will ever make it back to Skowhegan, but if I do and am bored, I will definitely visit Strand Cinema again.

I wanted to see…read moreNosferatu for a second time and every showing within an hour drive was sold out except 8:00pm at this theater. I can confirm that most of what's in the bad reviews is correct. Except the poor service part. The people working were not the issue. I think the people going there must be absolute pigs. I won't describe what I saw in the bathroom but no one making less than minimum wage should have to clean that. Also when coming out of the movie and at least two of the aisles, it looked like someone had spilled half a bucket of large popcorn. Now I understand, dropping a few kernels here and there, but this appeared like someone just dumped it. The actual theater is pretty bad. I guess I totally forgot that theaters used to be flat. It just doesn't make sense. You've got the screen 10 feet off the ground and you're also sitting eye level with the black curtain underneath it. The sound was not surrounding us. It would suck if theaters were still set up this way. In fact, with the way, people's home theater systems are now I doubt anyone would even go to the movies if it was like this everywhere. Chairs are reclining but not very comfortable. Anyway I don't live here so I'll never be here again.

They usually play one movie at a time, which definitely helps reduce the overwhelm of trying to choose a movie. There is one register where you pay for everything: movie tickets, popcorn, candy & drinks. Prices are way better than what you pay at large movie theaters. Definitely recommend if you're visiting the area. Also family and disability friendly.

I have been a long time patron of this theater. 20+ years. I've seen many owners, tons of changes, the scare that was Covid-- but one thing was always consistent besides the fresh popcorn. The staff. Many of us know who I'm talking about. The projectionist- Gracia- was there for longer then I had been a patron. She ran that place from the ground up. She even crowd funded (which I supported) purchasing the theater in 2019 before it was sold from under her. She was the bones the bread and the butter of that place. It was a labor of love and watching her adapt over the years and be so consistent was such a joy. Along with her awesome t shirts. This year there was yet another change of ownership. And I have come to learn that she was discarded like her 25 years of service meant nothing. And not only that, I was lied to that she left on her own. Which isn't the case. They also let go another staff member that has disabilities but a whole lot of heart. Sam was the light of my weekend. They worked there 12 years. My heart is heavy. This place was much more than a cinema. It was community. And now it just feels cold. I will not be returning.
