The theater was also pretty clean. Employees were awesome. I'm hoping another good movie comes out soon so we can come back asap!

Fries hot and crisp and the burger perfect. We really enjoyed this. Once at our seats we loved the movie. The seats were nice and had plenty of room. The picture and sound was spot on and we had a good time The bad In the age of streaming with cinemas fighting for survival with the movie industry this was hard to be quiet on. The lobby was a complete mess. Every flat surface was dirty, sticky or had trash on it. Then to make it worse the entire time we sat at the only cleanish table to have our lunch a group of employee stood behind the counter commenting on what was on their phones. I was shocked. Sort of. But more saddened by the lack of I give a crap. That mess didn't just happen. It would take time.

They are super comfy like sitting in your own living room. The popcorn and goodies are tasty and fresh. The prices are not so delicious. If you have an extra $40 bucks on you, you can get a large popcorn and icy soda for two people. Gulp. I suggest either eating before the movie or digging into your piggy bank for the yum yums while watching Top Gun-Maverick starring Tom Cruise! In my opinion, he is worth every dollar I spent with all the snacks and cozy seating in a great theater. The staff rock. They are super cool and friendly. They make sure to offer the best seats, movies, and snacks for an all-around good time. You can't go wrong with picking this theater. They manage long lines seamlessly. Parking is perfect. My sister and I giggled and were in awe of one of the best Tom Cruise movies, delish treats, and seating that makes your toosh go ahh!

There was a loud rattle when bass was high as if something near the screen was loose/broken or the speakers themselves had been blown (this was so distracting and disruptive it almost ruined the whole movie experience) Restrooms: Two of the four sinks had plastic over them stating "out of order" the other functioning sink's hand sensor was ridiculous to try to use. It's hard to imagine a national chain of theaters being accepting of such low standards. What is even harder to imagine is a customer base which would continue to return and pay a premium for a substandard product. It has become a real challenge to justify the cost to see a movie in theaters, especially when the experience is better at home.

Let me first start off by saying that I'm usually the kind of guy who despises movie theaters…read morebecause of all the price gouging but that was not the case with the 12th Street Cinema. The 12th Street Cinema only plays movies once an evening on Friday and Saturday, with a matinée and evening viewing on Sunday so tickets usually sell out fast. I was amazed when we walked in the door and it only cost $10 total for my family of 4. That is unheard of with movie theaters today! We then walk to the concession stand where the highest price item was $2 for large popcorn and large pop. I'm pretty sure that most of the workers there are high school kids who volunteer their time for free which is how they keep their prices so low. The entire experience was great from start to finish from the friendly staff, affordable prices and clean theater. My only regret is that I've lived in this town for 3 years and am just now visiting the 12th Street Cinema. I can't wait until our next visit.

The long-awaited bathroom renovations were complete when I last visited in July 2009. It's nice, though I regret the space it took up in the main theater. Renovations are on-going - the owner works a second job to support the theater. Second run theater and more - they bring in magic shows, host birthday parties, and will do private showings of films (independent, special-interest such as Indian, etc.) . During football season they show the games on the big screen (for free!) and sell concessions. They do cheap matinees of kiddie films in the summer, and in October the owner brings back Rocky Horror. Nice marquee, big screen, big venue (cavernous - seats 300, less the couple of seats removed to make space for the expanded bathrooms). The owner is a sweet guy who was very good to us when we ran a Rocky Horror cast here - we still come back and visit occasionally. It's the sort of place where if you're a regular they learn your name.

A haven for film nerds & freebies!…read more This is a University of Nebraska-owned theater, which means that in addition to showing movies to the public, they use the theatres for film classes. During the school year when classes are assigned to watch a film there, they often open up the empty seats to the public, for free. They offer some good sneak peeks before movies are released. Recently, I saw Charlie Bartlett, American Gangster, & Forgetting Sarah Marshall there all for FREE before they were released in theaters. This is also the only place in Lincoln (and most of Nebraska, for that matter), that you'll be able to watch documentaries like "Control Room" & "Bowling for Columbine" in theatres. That goes for liberal films too, which won't garner much of an audience in Nebraska. For a couple years, they showed a compilation of all of the Academy Awards short animation nominees. That was cool - I can't even find that on Netflix! They serve the local community by occasionally hosting premieres of locally-produced shows for our statewide Public Television Station (NET Nebraska), or premiering local films & doing Q&A with the filmmakers afterwards. TIPS: 1) Check their site (www.theross.org) often for special deals (free popcorn?) and for the upcoming shows. You can also grab a flyer (to the left of the ticket booth) for that info. 2) If there's no metered parking available on the street, try the University's visitor lot, a block east. 3) Try the Kookaburra licorice. It doesn't even taste like "licorice". It tastes like awesome. 4) If you're going to a free sneak preview, this is how it works: - Go there a day or so early to pick up your ticket voucher. I think you can also do this the day of the show. This is not a ticket, & beware: they overbook it. - Get there an hour early. Again, at least one hour early. 30 minutes before the show, the lobby will be crammed full of mostly college students waiting to see a free movie. - Exchange your voucher for a ticket, & wait in line. - For some of the more popular movies, the distributor will send a "bouncer" to check your purse or backpack before you enter the theatre, to make sure you're not trying to make a bootleg. So...this may not be a good show to sneak food into either :)
