Wasn't sure we found the right place. But it was. It could use a major upgrade between the bathrooms, which were terrible and the concession stand also needs some help. But It has 2 screens and you we saw 2 current movies for $12! It was worth going. We live 5.5 hours away. If we lived much closer, we would definitely be frequent visitors. I would recommend bringing your own snacks and if you need to gums the ladies room, make sure to go on the beginning. By the end of the night, they were super gross.

We went to see Barbie on Weds July 26, 2023…read more Bought tix on their website online, and a pop-up QR code came up as "here's your ticket." That QR code was not emailed to me. I got no email receipt for purchase. Ended up doing a screen capture/ and emailing myself the image of the QR code and showed that for entry, which worked fine. The projector blanked out three times during the film, for multiple lines of dialogue and most of one scene. I figure, once is a surprise, twice is - c'mon now. Three times? This almost certainly has happened before, and I don't know what the timeline is on repairing that, but I will save my money and probably not make the drive to pay to see a film there again. Popcorn was ho-hum. Hot pretzels were good. Husband loved the fried ravioli. But the thing, I'm there for the *movie*, not dinner out. I was happy to see the movie since everyone is raving about it, but I feel like the color vibrancy and pop I wanted to enjoy was missing in this experience. Random people turning on and off their cards and headlights during the film is annoying, but not the end of the world. Really though - fix that projector!

The grounds were in good shape and the snack bar had some murals on the outside. Snacks were very cheap, but the quality of some of the food was reflective of that. I would stick to the popcorn, candy and soda here. That being said, it is important to support the snack bar at places like this. So make sure to stop in, it's what keeps them open. I would stop by here again if I was in the area, the value for the money is well worth it.

The concession stand is old and takes forever to get something, but that isn't out of the ordinary at any old movie theater either. The movie quality was above average. The sound is great, they still have the old school speakers you can put in your window (and they work) or you can use your radio. I was surprised they still have the speakers, most drive-ins have gotten rid of those long ago. The bathrooms were sub-par, but again, what do you expect for an outdoor theater operating on their last dollars. As a guy it wasn't that bad for me - I can imagine for a girl it wouldn't be the best. But for $25 myself, my girl, and her two kids watched 2 movies for $25 - that isn't bad at all. Going to the theater would have run us at least $40 per movie would be my guess.

(This is mostly due to the fact that there really aren't a lot of choices for these types of things in the area.) I have been to the Clemens Center many times throughout my life and have had both really good experiences with shows as well as really poor ones. On occasion there will be actual legitimate shows that come, such as STOMP. One thing that I dislike is that the workers (many volunteer) are often times rude, unfriendly, or lacking knowledge when you have questions about tickets, etc... so be prepared for that if you are going to the Clemens Center.

Being a nonprofit theater this movie celebrates movies with decals and memorabilia. Cinemapolis contributes to the importance to the local arts scene. Upon entering Cinemapolis, we can feel the artsy and quaint vibe. Near the front desk movie goers can play board games as a great pre-movie activity. Cinemapolis emphasizes on value and affordability. The $8.00 large popcorn tends to be easy on the pocket! The concession stand offers tea and coffee for a cold day. The theatre sells unique merchandise. Movie lovers can purchase movie-inspired clothing at the counter. Movie lovers can see "Wicked 2, For Good". What a fantastic movie! A good point to note: the theater opens at 150pm. Stop in and enjoy the ambiance of Cinemapolis.

This movie theater is located in the Commons and is near various restaurants and hotels in downtown Ithaca. Finding showtimes and ticket prices online was easy, and I appreciated the friendly customer service when I was buying my ticket and getting popcorn at the concessions stand. Except for some minimal sound bleed coming from outside of the theater, I had an enjoyable movie watching experience. My one quibble was with the popcorn not being fresh and warm, but I'm hoping that was an aberration rather than the norm.

Points off because the picture quality just did not seem very good. Most theaters I go to the screens are bigger and stretch all the way across the wall this one is much shorter. We saw Avatar 2 here in 3D and I know that 3D distorts the quality, but I wish we just waited until we went to a theater with an IMAX or Dolby.
