I have not been to a theatre in years. In YEARS! The last time I went to a movie, Bloomington had AMC theatres on each side of town, and Bedford had 2 small multiplexes. I preferred the one that closed, but this place surprised me. Before going, I was told they have reclining seats. I thought this meant standard movie theatre seats that had a bit of a sliding action so you reclined a little bit. Nope. These are full on padded reclining seats that get you at about a 30-45 degree angle. There is plenty of room between your feet and the seat in front of you, so if someone has to use the bathroom or get up, it's not really an issue. There are cup holders, of course, and because it's now made for comfort, a screen does not hold as many people as it used to. It's somewhat drab when you first walk in. On a slow night they handle tickets at the concession counter. With business not being what it used to be, what were shelves that held theatre candy at either end of the concession stand are now just used for storage. It's a shame no one could be bothered to dress it up a bit. It's just a cozy little place with a few screens. The experience itself was great. The sound was blasting, the screen was big, and the chair was comfy. The popcorn was pretty salty, but hey. It's theater popcorn. This has to be the preferred place for any of us where I live. I fully endorse it. Don't expect anything fancy. It's a small theatre in a small town, and the company clearly expects to stick around for a while if they've invested in the seating. GO! GO! GO! read more

This theater is far and away better than the theaters in Bloomington. Great popcorn, thick cushioned leather reclining seats like a home theater, MUCH cleaner than the Bloomington theaters, and the staff is MUCH friendlier than the Bloomington theaters. Definitely worth the drive down to Bedford. read more

They don't even deserve one star. This was sent to all emails involving this HORRIFIC COMPANY or maybe just the employees..? ; What in the hillbillybob kind of theatre is this!? Tickets were purchased online. UEC Bedford. Nov 30th 2024/ Theater 4, Row A, Seats 1&2. Upon arrival 3 young girls had came and they had seats 3-6 & there are only physical Seats labeled 1-4. I'm actually disabled and I thank God do not require a wheelchair. I asked for assistance which was nearly impossible being the entire town comes to the movie day after Thanksgiving and there are only 2 poor workers here, and as much as I can understand how frustrated they must have been tending to what seemed like a hundred people. The employee saw the seat numbers and still instructed me that seat 1 is not really seat 1 but an invisible spot on the floor for a wheelchair. Our movie began at 11:40am (mind you, I'm disabled, STANDING as my seat #1 ( my son) and #2 is occupied by a teenage stranger., yet clearly states 2 on his ticket.) I don't understand why I was treated this way. We recently moved here from West Palm Beach Florida, so it's pretty unfortunate this is the only place near us to see a Film. After over 45 mins of waiting for a possible "folding chair" I had to leave. My son already missed 30 mins of the beginning, and my back cannot take prolonged standing, it causes me to faint. This was a case of the younger girls are prettier and the mom should sacrifice, I tried. Tickets were purchased and your company didn't have the decency to follow through with the purchase terms, provide the handicapped seats, nor the capacity, as well as the authority to tell the people who sat in Row A #2-6 that they weren't even in the correct seat. They're clearly labeled and illuminated in blue led. I have tickets, and photos I'd like to share. Also how unfortunate to have such a very understaffed team of two employees, no wonder all I got was rude feedback. At last given to me was a folding chair, for my disabled seating. Being in pain, and this mistreatment we left early, that & because of the audacity and disregard for the entire situation. Looking extremely forward to hearing back from your company, that I couldn't get ahold of by phone, nor is there apparently a manager on duty, I'm appalled by the service here. The seats are clearly labeled as was the confirmation email. Male employee is clearly unable to read the receipt or see their own theatre setup. By far the worst cinema experience ever and after asking for help, I literally could have ran out the door, how embarrassing.. I'm legit in shock this was how it was handled. I'm requesting a refund in full, an explanation as to the situation & to actually watch the movie we paid to see, in "comfortable seating and reclining chairs ". Please advise, see attached -and thanks for your time. read more

See all

Good small town theater. Don't believe the hate on this place. Friendly people and the owner is awesome. I've been there several times and always had a great time. They even have recliner seats, you normally have to go to the super expensive AMC theaters for that and pay a massive amount. You gotta support this theater or it'll be gone, and we ain't got many smaller town theaters around anymore. read more

We have been to this place 2 times. The first time it was filthy. The trash was over flowing, the bathrooms looked like they haven't been clean in months with half of the toilets not working, and the floors were disgusting, Literally trash everywhere. The second time, we encountered the rudest, white haired man at the ticket counter. Someone needs to teach this guy customer service. You would assume with his age he would have respect for others and able to resolve a problem or irritated customer with easy and perfection. I assure you this was not the case. We will longer attend this theatre or any others of its locations. AMC will get all my money and always knows how to keep a clean place and customer happy. read more

I have had a good time at this place. Very clean and the popcorn is delicious . The drinks are good. I reccomend you go.

If you live in Bloomington, it's worth the drive coming to Bedford to catch the new movies in theaters. They have recliners! And, their ticket prices are cheaper than AMC's. AMC charges more for their tickets and their seats are old and nasty. Their parking lot doesn't have lines so park carefully. They have concessions but no icees. read more

I recently saw a movie here and the theater was such a distraction I could not enjoy the movie as I should have. First of all the cost of the Matinee was 2 1/2 dollars more expensive than AMC theaters in Bloomington. The seats are cool recliners but the button to raise and lower the chair is on the inside of the chair and every time I moved I hit the bottom and the chair would lower or raise. Drove me nuts! The screen had 2 notable issues right in the middle of the screen and that drove me nuts. And last but certainly not least , the audio was horrible my home Theatre blows this Theatre out of the water in Dolby surround sound/ DTS audio. One other thing that wasn't a huge deal but for me , I just didn't like it .. you have to choose your seats when you buy a ticket. read more

This is our go to theater! Never had any problems going here, the workers are always nice too!

Went to the theatre this evening and was pleasantly surprised- hadn't been to this location in several years and I definitely will be back. The theatre was clean, well staffed and the seats were super comfortable with lots of leg room. This is a great asset for the community! read more

When I first moved to Bedford I thought it would be nice to have a movie theater so close. The screen for the one movie we did see had holes or tears in it! Not cool. All the worker kids were very friendly, but that cannot makeup for rips in the actual movie screen. That just means more trips to Bloomington when I want to go out to the movies... read more

I normally avoid this theater based on past experiences, but someone told me they had made some changes for the better. So, I decided to see Star Trek Beyond here on opening night. I can now say that I will never return to this theater. I can deal with the dirty and run-down aesthetics and terrible popcorn, but I can't overlook the quality of the screen and picture. When I get out of the house see a film, I expect the picture to be at least better than what I can do at home. That is why I am willing to pay the high ticket prices. Sadly, I wish I had stayed home. I was seated in theater #2. The projector was so dim during night-time scenes that you couldn't make out what was happening at any given time. You could barely make out the actors faces. I don't know if this was a bad projector bulb or something else, but it was terrible. The movie was good, but I feel like I missed two-thirds of the action scenes because they took place in space or at night. The picture was out of focus the entire time as well. There were also very noticeable tears in the middle of a the screen. Oh, and some strange square light kept appearing in the top right of the picture, like someone had a flashlight pointed there. I guess it was a light from the projector room. I've never seen anything like that before. To add to my frustrations, my small popcorn was so saturated with butter that it leaked through the bag almost immediately, ruining a good pair of pants. This was an honest mistake by the employee, but it is yet another issue that you can't prepare your own popcorn like you can at any other theater in Bedford or Bloomington. I should have just asked for a refund rather than staying for the entire movie, but I knew I wouldn't have a chance to get out and see it again. I just wish I'd stuck with my first inclination to see this movie elsewhere or wait for Blu-Ray. I'll never return to this theater unless it comes under new ownership or it goes through a major renovation. What a shame. read more

Nice theater but our son tried to play video game took his money they said not their games sorry. Ask them to unplug so some other kid wouldn't lose money. After movie still on and no sign or anything . Popcorn has no flavor they want 4.00 for a bottle of water, no wonder every one goes to the regal read more

Looks like they painted and fixed sealing problems :) New seats are amazing !!!

Stained ceiling panels, seats missing, and broken surround sound. We went to see Mega Mind - the movie shut off for 5 minutes and the sound went out multiple times. All of this would be okay if movies were a dollar or two, but they charge normal theatre rates. UEC Theatres needs to fix up this run down theatre located in Bedford, Indiana. read more

3D glasses were super dirty! Popcorn was the worst we ever had! Will not be returning! Save your money find a better theater!

So much nicer than before.My husband and I go to movies a lot and use to stay away from here because others where nicer. However we gave it another shot. The new seats are wonderful. The cup holder helps a lot. Keep adding those little things and they will be as good or better than the rest. read more
