Helpful employees, great snacks and comfortable seats always brings us back! The only negative thing was the damn commercials and a half hour of previews before the show started! read more

Was in one time and i love it . Friendly staff, small hometown feel and the only one in Town . I just did a price check for, Michael playing in, Santa Maria and those tickets were $6 more so better prices and i can't imagine how much their snacks and beverages are . That's why i moved from the overly crowded, congested with traffic big City of. Santa Barbara . Of course, all of of Santa Barbaran's eventually will bring that to Lompoc but I'll enjoy this Town while it lasts . read more

Got to love a local hometown theater that doesn't gouge price on concessions and genuinely is happy to provide their services. Every time I visit I always encounter a friendly staff that efficiently gets what you need to avoid long lines. Seating is pretty comfortable and the pricing is ideal all around. Great spot to enjoy a movie after some dinner nearby. read more

While you're not going to find state of the art equipment here you're not going to miss a thing. The theatre is more than adequate for viewing movies. Yes the theatres are small not up to date but I had no issue with the chairs nor the sound or image. You can't miss if you're in Lompoc want to watch a movie at the local theatre.. read more

Really happy that we have a great selection of current movies at this theater. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Seats are comfortable. All in all I am glad that we have this theater in our town. read more

The young lady working today at 12:15 was very professional and friendly. She was easy to talk to and got me exactly what I ordered and asked if I needed a box for my popcorn. Keep up the great work young lady. I will be back because of you. read more

I always expect to get a reclining seat in a stadium theater nowadays, but not at this theater. That being said, the theater isn't all that bad. The sound system was rock solid and the picture on the screen was perfect. This little theater has more than reasonable prices for their concessions. I got a frozen cherry limeade for $4. This time around I saw Deadpool 2 with my coworkers. Half of us got concessions and the others just came to watch the movie. One thing that I can't complain about is that the theater is across the street from my hotel. My only serious complaint about this theater is that the bathrooms are a mess. You can't flush the urinals and they are full of un-flushed urine. All of the urinals are full of URINE! Besides that, not a bad theater. read more

Prices are reasonable. Popcorn is ok Coke is ok theaters are clean, customer service is friendly and positive. Sometimes they don't have the best movies right off, but they get them later. read more

The place is a movie theater. Bathrooms are a bit worse for wear, lines can be long if you are coming on a popular night or for a movie opening. Snack prices aren't cheap but not as expensive as other theaters . Staff is friendly, seats are comfortable enough. Could use an update but it is well maintained. We enjoy our visits to "The Movies" read more

I think this is the ONLY movie theater in Lompoc. Don't be fooled by my rating on place. I really liked the place considering where I was (IT"S LOMPOC). The tickets are cheap. The buttered POPCORN is amazing! (should've got the large bucket. RAWR)... AND you know those "Kernel Season's" (that's only .9 oz ) you can buy for $1.50 at movie places like century theaters .. They have a self-serve bar of them, and you can put in AS MANY AS YOU WANT! (as many as you want!!!) I love free things =D heheh... They lost a star because they don't have hot dogs on their menu. (i'm sorry.. i really do hate taking away stars) They only show four Movies at a time. Which sucks because I do love to have options. I would've taken another star for that.. but it's LOMPOC ... lol The rooms are very cool, because I'm so use to century theaters and amc. I really get a kick out of unusual things (well just things im not use to seeing). The rooms have a old-school feel to it. In one room, the seats are not centered .. it has an aisle right down the middle and you have seats on the left and right side of the room. Seats are very big and comfy, but they are old school seats right.. so the arm rest do not come up. =( which is sad when you cant cuddle with your boo thang... lol i would've taking another star for that but it's LOMPOC...lol I'm not really from lompoc, but I do visit sometimes ...so if you live in Lompoc, and and dont wanna drive far to see a movie, this would be your only choice. The next nearest movie theater is in Santa Maria. But honestly this theater is not that bad. wishing you guyz 5 star service... thanks read more

Well, it's the only theater in Lompoc, which makes it my favorite! The people are friendly, the popcorn is fresh, the bathrooms are clean, and the seats have cup holders. That works for me! read more

So my husband and I went to The Movies ostensibly to watch something. Looked like we were gonna be alone until this dude comes stumbling in muttering to himself, making all kinds of noise with some paper. Had some kind of light I thought was his phone. It got quiet as the previews continued. Next thing I know right in front of me this jackass engages his lighter. My husband asks him to turn it off. He says he can't see. The hubby tells him he's not going to use the lighter in the theater. Dude asks him what's his problem. My husband tells him to sit down and stop with the lighter. Duder is still ranting so my hubby goes out to get one of the workers. They take their sweet time and we're not feeling comfortable with this drunk ass so we get up and leave. At the door one of the workers says someone is going to "talk" to this drunk. I tell her you need to do a lot more than talk to him and we just want our money back because we're not sitting in that show with this drunk guy who should have never been let in. We got passes, but why would you allow an obviously drunk person to enter in the first place?? So we went back to see the movie we didn't see because of the "impaired" man, but before we went in my husband talked to the manager about our experience. She relayed that they'd had to call the police to have the man removed from the premises. She was more than nice about the entire fiasco and gave us popcorn and a drink on the house. It seems they will update how they respond to other incidents like this one for their patron's safety. Thank you! read more

Not bad movie theater for a small little town . I mean it's better than the old one . The only problems I have with this place is that it's not stadium seating so when a tall person sits in front of me I have to move to be able to see the movie . And it's hard to move when my feet are stuck on the sticky ground . But other than that it's fine . read more

Nice to have a theater close by. There are only four theaters which isn't bad at all, however, it's not an updated theater that we are all used to but it gets the job done. Small theater, great for an afternoon cinema. No stadium seating but there really isn't a bad seat in the theater. read more

Dirty seats, tremendously sticky floors, bad smelling restrooms, and the worst racist service! The ticket grabber asked for my bag but let every other person in the lobby with one. Honestly disgusting behavior in Lompoc's only movie theater. read more

I still like going here. They are currently doing some upgrades to the lobby and I'm sure that means they will continue through out the theater. It's nice to see a movie in Lompoc now and then instead of always having to drive out of town. Ticket prices aren't bad and concession prices are better than most as well. Let's keep this place alive and continue to see movies here! read more

SO RUDE!!! Went to the 4:30pm of Moneyball today with my best friend (who was visiting from out of town). I wanted him to see Lompoc in a good light so I took him to The Movies thinking it was better than Gemini. The movie began and the volume was almost completely off. After a few minutes I went to the lobby to ask them to turn it up and the guy barely acknowledged me. Nearly 90 minutes into the film the projector jammed and the film melted on screen. Again, I went to the lobby and told the same person. He said an obscenity under his breath and rushed past me to the projector booth. It took him 25 minutes to get the film running again and when the movie was over we went to the counter to find the same person there again. I asked to speak to a manager and he said "I am the manager." I stated that we were thoroughly unhappy with the experience considering the amount of times I had to exit the theater during the film and the 25 minute wait and the least they could do was give us vouchers for another screening. He immediately got extremely nasty and told us "If we wanted a refund we should said something when the projector broke." After sparring with him for a few minutes my best friend and I left extremely upset by his attitude. Though I live in Lompoc I often go to Santa Barbara to see movies in theaters. I thought it would be fine to save the drive time and support my home town but now I know why I should have spent the extra 45 minutes going South. AVOID THIS THEATRE if you enjoy watching movies. read more

When did going to the movies require a bank loan? This is nation wide but in Lompoc, really? Glad they do have matinee discount times.

This theater was super cute and pretty nice for being in such a small town. The people were kind and the theater itself was much bigger inside than I expected it to be. The only downside was that there were not too many movie selections. Only 4 shows at a time. But I went last night with my boyfriend to see hitmans bodyguard and had a pleasant experience (: read more

On the outside, it looks like something straight from Stranger Things. On the inside, it still looks like it's from the 80s. However, the retro and quaint feel fits the small-town vibes of Lompoc. Throughly enjoyed our visit to "The Movies". read more

Nice theater for a small town. The web site to look up their showings is www.playingtoday.com

So excited to see Beauty and the Beast! We got there early for the 1:30 show, they told us they don't open until 1. Reasonable, no problem. We wait around in the parking lot until 1, go back up to the door. The lady working there apologies, sorry for the inconvenience, but I can't turn on the computer until the manager gets here so I can't sell you tickets yet. Ok, no problem, people can be late sometimes. So we wait until 1:20 for a 1:30 movie, we can see the employee calling the manager trying to make it work. To no avail. Eventually we got tired of waiting, so we decide to go get some food instead. So disappointing! read more

When going to a movie costs more than a college education (KIDDING, but close ), it was nice to find the $6.50 "Fiesta Tuesday" price. Website says "except special engagements" and I was happy to find out that seeing the latest Star Wars movie didn't qualify for a "special engagement". This theatre isn't as fancy pants as Edwards or Fandango, but for a small town like Lompoc, it's just fine. It was relatively clean, adequately staffed, and employees are functionable. read more

Not bad for a small, locally owned theater. My only complaint is that the seats are not stadium-style, so it was hard for my 4-year old to see. read more

Wish there was a score below 1, website says star trek at 9:30, no star trek employee gives me a tude about its not their website and its a problem with google and yahoo and yelp got it all wrong. I asked for some popcorn and they told me no because it was for paying quests of inside the theater. I feel bad for those in Lompoc if this is the only place to watch a movie locally. Need that Valley Drive In to make a comeback. read more

A small but comfortable and clean theater. We went on a Friday night and there was no line. I wish they offered military discounts. Popcorn was good. read more

Nice small theatre with small selection of movies. Employees were friendly but prices weren't cheap for such a small theatre. 10$ a person. Only had 2 popular movies and 2 no name movies playing. It was the only theatre for a ways away so it did the job. read more

Only choice in Lompoc but the sound system, at least in theater #3 speakers are horrible! The high and mids in the center speakers are so distorted making watching the movie not so great. I have had other poor experience before with there sound system in the past. Prices for popcorn and sodas too high as well. If youcan live with poor sound then not a bad place to see a movie read more

Only movie theater in town. Needs better selection in concessions, and maybe a midnight showing of popular movie openings. Overall, for being the only theater in town, it's a great deal. I mean $7.50 for a matinee movie, what a great deal. read more

I'm a big fan of small independent movie theatres. Prices are reasonable at just $7.50 for an adult matinee. It's kept clean and movies are always started on time. I'll keep coming back. read more

The theater is....ok, the concession stands are.....ok, the viewing is....ok, the price is....RIDICULOUS...they charge practically RPX price for their rundown theater. The ONLY reason I go here and there, is bc I'm too lazy to drive up to Santa Maria, and I think that's really the only reason this place is in business, is bc most of us don't want to drive 30mins when we can go 5mins. The price should really come wayyy down... read more

For a small town, this movie theater is top notch. The popcorn is fresh, it's always clean, and you can get a seat for opening weekend. The staff is pretty nice. The Movies Lompoc reminds me of going to the local 4-plex for dates when I was a teen before the monstrous 30 screen AMC swallowed up the local business. So what if it's a little out of date when you hit the bathrooms? It's cleaner than some of the theaters in Santa Barbara (Paseo Nuevo is sticky and gross). We prefer to support the local movie theater, especially when they went through the major expense of buying all digital equipment. The Gemini couldn't keep up with the drive to digital and shuttered. So now we only have 4 screens in town. If you want more screens and a bigger sound system, get yourself to Santa Maria & quit your whinin'. Santa Maria is about a 20 minute drive, or what you would drive in traffic to get to a bigger movie complex in a bigger town. read more

Wow - this place has gone downhill. We saw Batman vs superman today and the place was very uncomfortable - no air conditioning at all - very hot and stuffy and smelly, until it appeared to come on about halfway through the movie. Also, every single urinal (water-free style) was clogged and full of urine - disgusting. I won't be coming back - it's worth the drive to Santa Maria to avoid basic issues like this. read more

no 3D and smell of mold!? Rather watch the DVD at home or drive to Santa Maria/ Goleta.

Checked movie times online and verified showing of Entourage at 4:30 PM. When we got there, we waited in a rather long line. When we arrived to pay, the clerk told us the movie had been bumped to allow an extra showing of Jurassic World which had opened this weekend. No sign in box office or anywhere else to warn people of this. All online sources verified Entourage should have been showing. Employee apologized, but it was hollow considering the trouble we went through to get there. read more

I came tonight to watch Tarzan, saw there would be a showing for the life of pets at 10. I asked to make sure it would start tonight, and the staff said that it would. Me, as well as others waiting about 40 min only to hear them saying to another customer that walked in that it was not showing tonight and it would tomorrow instead. Completely wasted our time because of the very incompetent staff. During the time waiting someone walked into another showing without paying while also saying loudly that she normally walks in without paying, but the staff were too busy discussing personal problems with other people while using foul language. It's very unprofessional. Santa Maria is worth the drive than this dirty place. read more
