    Area of refuge behind these doors
    Steven E.

    Haven't been to the movies in years and decided to see the new "Twisters" film. I assume there are 17 theaters since we were in #17. Pro Tip: If you go and can't find screen 17? Don't look over by screen #16, it's on the other side, at the end of the #1-7 hall. Theater 17 has the Ultrascreen DLX, which, to be honest, I'm too old to tell the difference. Sure the screen is bigger, but placing speakers throughout the house was a waste on me. The leather reclining seats are old and worn out, in desperate need of reupholstering. The heater in mine didn't work, but since it's July and it didn't feel like the a/c was even on, it didn't much matter. The concessions were great but pricey! $17 for popcorn and a big drink is ludicrous. Bet your arse we jumped on the free refills! Very disturbing that there is a need for three armed, vested security enforcers in the lobby. One of the young ushers tried to explain how I should feel safer. I was in this game too many years and know what's really going on. Just didn't have the heart to lay the truth on her. I believe we're going to become members and check out the rewards as well as promotions, such as Value Tuesdays and matinee viewings. 07/24

    I don't like how they changed their prices. They also don't give free popcorn for members anymore .

    I love this movie theater! They offer great prices (they offer a military discount), $5 movie Tuesdays, and the theater rooms always seems to be pretty clean. I love that they have a rewards program for members too. I got a free soda for my birthday which was unexpected and nice! The staff are always extremely friendly too. The only reason why I knocked this down a star was because there was one incidence where I ordered the pretzel nuggets and they gave them to me completely stale and hard as a rock. You could tell that they had been sitting out for quite some time. I do want to mention though that when I took them back to the counter, they made me a fresh batch of new pretzel bites with no complaints. Great customer service! This will continue to be our "go to" movie theater! Other perks - A bar (which my husband enjoys) Reclining seats

    Mushroom, sausage, and onion pizza.

    Marcus remains a fine theater and I'm very find of their Flex Plus subscription (I hope they keep it as I remember them ending their previous club fifteen years ago and feeling very disappointed). The service and atmosphere are top notch and the classic snack bar is pretty good too. But I'm very disappointed by their niche pizzeria. Greg Marcus, if you're reading this, $25 for the pizza (that was not even equal to a supermarket product) is too much.

    A Girlfriend and I saw 'Like a Boss' today and really enjoyed the movie. There are no dull moments and lots of laughter throughout this film. Tiffany Haddish did great portraying her character! It's the perfect movie to see with your BFF!

    Every time we've come, regardless of day/time, all the machines look like theyve never been cleaned

    Review update: While on crutches post hip surgery, we arrived much earlier than normal to accomodate my slower than normal speed. We were told we were 15mins too early to enter the main lobby and meeded to wait, standing, in the entrance where you buy tickets. I asked if we could at least go in and sit in the lobby given the circumstances and was denied. So, I stood for 15mins on my crutches in the entrance way until we were allowed to enter the lobby. I am the first person to recognize rules are in place for a reason but I also understand there are extenuating circumstances at times which call for a bit of compassion to the unique situation. Sure, I could have stayed home but I had been stuck in my bedroom for 6 weeks and desperately wanted to get out of the house and thought a movie would be a nice change of scenery where I could sit/lay back as needed. Since this incident, my husband and I have continued coming to this theater because it's the closest one to our house and we enjoy seeing movies. However, every time we visit the soda machines are deplorable and look as if they haven't been cleaned in days, or longer and the countertops are equally as sticky and gross.

    Free popcorn night!

    Loved the reclining seats and the prices for the matinee! The seats were comfortable and we enjoyed our movie. Would come back!

    The prices are steep and the reclining chair I got didn't work. So I was in the front and by the end had a very bad neck ache.

    This theater is going downhill. The seats are worn out, ripped, and dirty. The restroom is dirty and old. So sad.

    Decent place overall, however, this location seems to only want to open 1 side of the refreshment area... always long lines.

So remember if you're in Athens Ohio and want to go to a movie, go to this theater. Not to be confused with Athena Grand,also in town, a movie theater i most definitely would NOT recommend.

This is an important part of Athens and Ohio University. It's a great place for expanding your interests and learning about filmmaking. There's often big events happening there including a film festival each spring. I am a fan of theaters like this. There are some interesting and thought provoking films that are shown here. It's a three screen theater. It opened in 1915 as the Majestic Theatre. It became Schine's Athena. Each spring it hosts the Athens International Film and Video Festival. The festival was founded in 1974. It's sponsored by the Athens Center For Film. It has a history of student involvement. Ticket prices were raised from $1.50 to $2 in 1968. Students picketed demanding lower ticket prices. There was a settlement where a matinee would be $1 before 5:00. It was bought by the university in 2001. The College of Fine Arts operates it. I like interesting and weird films. I can find these at the Athena along with some classics. This is a great time for movie fans and those looking for something not the usual in theaters.
