The size of the theater was small, which was a nice thing. We purchased our tickets online and choose the seats we wanted. The snack counter was unrealisticly expensive, so we chose to eat elsewhere after the movie. All in all, the reclining and heated seats were very comfortable. We totally enjoyed the atmosphere and the movie. read more

This is bb theaters now. Only recliners. Big improvement in everything. Good popcorn. Everything is new. Sound of the movies is great. Theater is very clean and new. Smells fresh. Love this for Portland. I recommend read more

Okay this place is so lovely and there are heated recliner seats with swinging trays for food. The only complaint is today there was not much food (hot dogs) red sauce for the cheese sticks and Coke products. Come on guys, there is a Walmart and HEB close by. The manager should not tail it over there and get product. read more

Our family of four were visiting for Labor Day weekend and it happened to be national cinema day. We selected Beast to watch and although the movie was meh... the theater and restrooms were clean and well organized. The popcorn and pretzel were fresh and the pickle was cool and crisp. Their nachos were concession style with cheese drizzled over the chips and in the cup on the tray. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Avoid the Hot Dogs and Do Not Expect Any Customer Service I really do not want to write a negative review, but today takes the cake, I mean Hot Dog. Part of our order included a Hot Dog. Took one bite and the bottom half of the bun was stale/hard. So here I am with an undercooked hot dog and not very tasty bun. Went back to the counter to get new hot dog bun. Counter staff friendly, but not empowered and cannot help me- No new bun, no new hot dog, no refund. Can I get speak to a manager, please? Shift Manager comes out and says owner forbids any refund or replacement and besides " You took a bite of the hot dog". Good grief. What can I say say besides" OK" and left the hot dog on the counter and returned to the movie. I was flabbergasted, but I do have a choice in where I see my next movie. Northshore does offer 1 free refill on slushies and popcorn which is a safe bet and good deal. If you want to have a decent movie experience, probably better to head over the bridge. read more

I've come here twice. The employees are friendly. The place was clean. The popcorn was stale both times we came. Other than that, I liked this place and would come back. read more

The cinema could be a little cleaner, especially the bathrooms. Staff is very friendly. But if you want an empty plain box to share popcorn, be prepared to pay for that box, Free popcorn on Tuesday after 6pm read more

Avoided the bad reviews and tried it any away, the staff looked annoyed I was there, no one greeted us or took our tickets, no one gave us the 3d glasses needed for the movie, had to find some in the recycle box, they broke 5 min in. Needless to say, we left 30 min in.. definitely worth the 15 min drive to go to corpus for better experience. read more

Wow this place has gone downhill. Popcorn stays under the shelves But at least it's was still crunchy. The nachos are a different story. Stale chips and had to ask for extra cheese. I had two hotdogs which were lukewarm at best. A kids box, nachos, & pickle. For 31.00 it better all be good. Yeah right. Well hopefully Movies Inc in Aransas Pass will cate about good food and customer service. Side note the ticket girl at the concession stand was very helpful when I inquired about the hearing assistance headphones. read more

This theater is a bad choice. From the bad movie sound and terrible popcorn to the broken video games and horribly rude staff your are quickly reminded why you drive to Corpus to see movies. Update: we gave this theatre one more shot.... Since it was so close. ...And they dropped the ball again. Star Wars skipped right in the middle of the action. .... For two extremely loud and excruciating minutes. I warned an attendant at the counter on the way out so they may try keep it from happening during the next showing. They didn't care one bit. We are done. read more

Good place for a movie. Snacks are a little expensive and .25 cents for a drink carrier. It wascl an and staff were great

Bad experience ever!! The audience was to loud and everyone kept on laughing and talking disturbing me and my family. Worst experience ever!

U go to movies 3 times a month normally --good seats I normally get the kids pack snack and change out the gumming candies for skittles since u have braces but the witch manager at concession stand wont --after 2 years she says no -- read more

Don't spend money here. This place doesn't let you bring in any kids back pack! the seat fold up so u have to be an adult to sit on them. Now we are waiting for them to reset something so we can see the movie correctly. It was missing the top and bottom part of it. We should of known this when at the entrance they have a sign of "no refunds". I'm a where a shirt that says " no coming back". other side saying "ever". read more

Love this theater, have been coming for years! So convenient to not have to drive all the way to Corpus to watch a movie. They need to update the actual theater; seats are old, aisles are always dirty. Overall, a fine theater. read more

They have 3D movies but never show any in 3D format. If you're lucky enough (1% of the time). To find you're movie in 3D it's always the early show (11ish) and the last showing (9-10 PM). The owner, who I've spoken to many times, is so cheap that he doesn't realize he's losing money because people drive to Corpus just to see their movie in 3D. He charges 25 cents for a trey for your food/drinks. I'd give 4.5 stars if he listened to any feedback. I live 1/2 a mile away and still go to corpus for movies. read more

Unfortunately not a great experience. Why would the cleaning crew come in and turn the lights on while the movie is still playing. Then stand there with their broom and dustpan and just stare waiting for us to leave. HELLO- wait for the movie to be over. read more

This theater has gone downhill! I have family that live nearby and when we come and visit during the holidays we sometimes like to catch a flick. But as the years have passed this place has become more and more filthy and smelly. They either need to close down for a few days and bring in some serious steam cleaning machines or just remodel and rip out that nasty and smelling carpet. The seats aren't much better. I will no longer give my money to this dump until they have made some changes. I'll be happy to make the trip into Corpus for a better movie watching experience. read more

This place gets some bad reviews but my experience was really good last weekend. It was Clean. Popcorn was good. Prices were amazing at $5.00 adult? Still scratching my head on that but won't argue. I'll be back for sure. read more

Better than average...seats are comfortable and I like being able to pick my seat before going in. Girl at the ticket counter was helpful the last time I was in and gave me good advice on seating...Will use it again and again. read more

I love going to this place it's close by and it's really fun to take someone with you like your loved one and family friendly I always come back and the free pop corn after 6 on Tuesdays bring your own bowl !!!! read more

I just wanted to say how much my family and I enjoy this movie theater. We love going to a movie here almost every Tuesday, and yes we fight the crowd for the free popcorn. It's all part of the experience for us.. bringing your own bowl etc. there are video games and claw machines to keep you busy before or after your movie. They even have a little photo both.. which we love! Just wanted to write a positive review since a lot of businesses only get the negative side of things and we love this place! read more

This is a great movie place, still affordable. Free popcorn on Tuesdays (byob). My most favorite thing is the assistant manager Bobbi. She is always pleasant and smiling. My son is autistic, and as he had a small breakdown, she was reassuring, patient and kind. As I thanked her she stated she has a nephew who is autistic, and to come to her anytime she is here. I'm so blessed to have shared that moment with her and to know there are people who out there who will go the extra mile. The other staff at times can be rude or short except for a girl who has worked there a while, and an older gentlemen. I feel bad that I do not know there names to show appreciation as well. Thanks Bobbi, for making Portland'a theatre exceptional! read more

I've been there multiple times . The prices are good but the smell in the theater is terrible. Musty and damp . It smells like the theater was flooded and dried out. Seats and rugs need to be sanitizes or replaced read more

Location is convenient for where I live we go here often. The place is a lot dated seats are not very comfy. They could use some updates to make this place awesome. As far as service prices and food goes they are pretty fair and they even have a free popcorn night when you bring your own bucket which is nice of them to do. Never had any problems here and kids seem to enjoy it. read more

I've never had this problem but a group of me and my friends game to see a rated R movie with parent permission. They denied our tickets at the ticket check and as well as a few other group of people which has never happened to me or anyone else. This was very disappointing because now we had to see a kid movie. And this place is dirty. read more

Just left this place, everything was fine up until I asked to switch my bag of Candies for another one. Not for a refund, but for the same type just another bag. The bag was warm and you could feel the candy was melted inside. The lady at the concession stand wouldn't even feel the bag! She just looked at me with a smirk, and said "they're all the same, they're all from the same drawer." As if I was being some type of rude customer. What a jerk, I wasn't asking for anything over the top, the bag hadn't even been open yet, it's not like I was demanding a refund. Sadly I think she might have been some kind of manager, since she looked older than the rest of the kids there. I've been going to this place for years, but customer service is everything. I won't be back. When you have a good experience, you don't really tell people, but once you've had a bad experience somewhere, you tell just about everyone. Or at least I will. read more

We went and watched Sherlock Holmes this past Friday and what a miserable experience it was. Popcorn was stale, Movie was blaring loud, and you could roast a pig in there it was so hot. read more

We got the movies at least once a week, sometimes twice. We love going to the movies. This is our local theatre and have never had much of an issue up until the last few times we went. It's been hot every time. The sound is awful, and the consession stand employees are terrible. If my family of 4 are willing to pay 20-30 bucks in junk food the least your employees can do is not throw the food at us. Perhaps even a smile or a thank you. That might be asking too much. Sunday was the last time we'll go there for a while. I'll drive the extra 15 minutes to go to corpus and have a much better experience. read more

Great theater... comfortable seats... decent movie food... matinee prices are $5 which is awesome... friendly staff and great management

My biggest complaint is that they refused to let out group finish movie that they started late due to power outages. We dealt with dirty carpets, smelly theater and multiple power outages. But then we're told to leave or restart movie because the next time was too close. I asked for my money back. A two hour movie and 2 hours and 45 minutes later still don't get to see the end. Go somewhere else. read more

NEVER AGAIN. You think Starplex off Greenwood is ghetto...THINK AGAIN! Bunch of 8, 9, 10 year olds watching Straight Outta Compton because they're parents buy their tickets and then leave. Noisy as fuck. Kids wouldn't shut the fuck up. Their ac might've been turned off as well because it was hot and you could smell people's body sweat. Gross pretzels, generic bottled water, all around TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Tried talking to the manager (old white guy) and he didn't care so I don't care to ever go back. Save your money, drive to C.C Century 16. read more

Poor service and management. The woman who physically opens up the cinema is quite rude and short towards guests and always acts inconvenienced if you approach her. Ticket prices are great but with the limited movie showings, you can't see much. Prices of snacks is amazing but the snacks themselves (like the popcorn or pizza) are completely flavorless. Waiting for the theater in Rockport to open up again so that my family no longer has to go to this one. read more

Went to go watch a rated r movie with friends, all of us with parental consent. And we were denied entry and had to watch a kids movie instead of what we came to watch . Also the place is dirty. read more

Will not be giving this establishment business anymore. Employees are rude and plain idiots. Daughter took her 2 kids to see movie and also had her 4 month old. Weekend "manager" refused to let her bring in her baby diaper bag even though their posted signs says you can bring in diaper bags but they may be inspect. Daughters diaper bag was popular Skip*Hop back pack style diaper bag. The "manager" told her she could not bring it in because it was a back pack. Daughter told her to inspect bag and she would see it was a diaper bag. Employee refused to inspect, said that it had to look like bags in their poster and then told her that she could leave if she didn't like it. So no we will not be giving this establishment our business anymore. read more

Went to the new Star Trek movie yesterday. Lots of people with younger kids in there. They played a trailer for the upcoming Anchorman movie in which grown men stand there and several times mentioning "creaming your jeans". Attempts to contact the theater didn't work since there was no manager there and the only phone is an info line. Also their "comments" page on the website doesn't work. I don't consider myself to be a prude or anything, but I find trailers with subject material like that to be highly inappropriate for audiences with kids. I am glad I didn't take my grandkids since I would not have wanted to have had to explain what that meant to a couple of 7 or 8 year olds. Granted, a lot of movies coming out of Hollywood now are either trash or porn but trailers shown in movies for general audiences need to be screened for material like this. And the popcorn was still stale. read more

we went to see despicable me 3 .....theater was fine..if not chilly BUT the concession workers were very rude when we had an issue with the way over-salted popcorn.We were never given a replacement we were just told we needed to re-purchase. I will be going back to the theater in Corpus Christi & pass Portland by next time. read more

I would love to rate this theatre 5 stars, but I can't due to the pre-popped popcorn that sits in a glass display already bagged ready for some poor sole who is looking forward to a hot fresh bag of popcorn, cold soda, m&m's and a good movie. Only to find out that the popcorn was cooked quite sometime ago........DISAPPOINTMENT GALORE!! Please pop the corn fresh, thanks. read more

Yes the seats in this theater are a little bit dated and somewhat uncomfortable but other than that it's really a pretty good movie experience. The staff is friendly and the restrooms are clean. Ticket prices are 5 dollars if you can go during the morning or afternoon. read more

Never had an issue until I had to deal with Lisa (consession stand manager?) and Marcus. Both very rude and someone seriously needs to discipline these employees Both have bad attitudes and when I asked for a name and number to the general manager, Lisa refused to write it down and handed me a pen and said, "write it down yourself" read more
