    Back again, same review, but with some photos. Also, the cushion on one of our seats was sliding off, and both escalators are broken. This place needs help before it totally detriorates. That said, still the best way to see a movie nearby. So consider this a plea for help! Consider simply painting the entryway black? Or matching however the space is set on the left side the same on the right for some basic consistency?

    I came, as many will, for a massive IMAX screen. The building from the outside looks like a tiny podunk theater with a separate massive IMAX section on the side, and that's pretty much what it is. The entrance had machines to redeem an online ticket (which is advisable if coming for an event movie as I did) or buy a new one, and half of them were broken. So too were the escalators leading one up to this huge IMAX screen. But the end product was as advertised: the screen is huge and the sound bone-shattering. The reclining seats with little tray tables were suitable enough to sit in for a three-hour movie. The restrooms were not remotely plentiful enough to handle the people flooding in thereafter. So basically: big-ass screen, not a lot else positive to say for the place. And it was an expensive ticket. But for the right event, I'm happy enough that I went.

    View from Row F in IMAX theater. Glass wall intrudes bottom view of screen. This row not recommended.

    Watched the new Top Gun Maverick movie at the IMAX. Movie was great! Theater is nice. TALLEST IMAX: After recent upgrades, this theater claims to have tallest IMAX in the world. To be honest, I wouldn't have known if they didn't tell me. All IMAX are big and this didn't seem to be any different. AVOID ROW F AT IMAX: this is middle row with isle in front, so you don't have anyone sitting immediately in front of you. Seems like prime seats. However I discovered there is a glass wall in front of you that protrudes up to impact view of bottom of screen. I posted picture to show the issue. TICKET KIOSKS: You use kiosks to pickup tickets you bought online, or to buy tickets buy tickets on premise. There are only three, so be prepared for a line during busy times. BAR: They have a bar area if you wish to order adult beverages. This is not something you find in just any theater. FOOD COUNTER - Enjoy free refills on popcorn and soda fountain drinks. It is well managed and the line moves quickly. I was impressed! The butter and large selection of cheesy shaker toppings are located off to the side of the counter to move you out of the way.

    Looks like this place has had a little bit of a facelift since my last time here 2 years ago. This time our theater had recliners in every row. They still have the popcorn seasoning for free by the butter stations, which is awesome! Their concession items and ticket prices are lower than competitors, which I greatly appreciate. You can still see a movie without spending $100 here. They also have a sweet IMAX! Usually you can book tickets online, but their site wasn't working all day. We showed up and got tickets at the kiosk. Only downside the tickets were sold out and we weren't able to reserve online earlier in the day because of it. All ticket sales are done through the kiosk now. No face to face ticket sales. All seats are reserved. They do have handicap seating in each theater.

    HUGE IMAX Screen. Loved seeing Thor here and we had the theater to ourselves. Great sound and amazing screens. Can't wait to see another Blockbuster here.

    Worlds tallest imax

    Very nice theater, clean, friendly staff. Saw Dune 2 in world's tallest imax. Dissapointing that when the screen is dark, you can see the shadow of the backs of the chairs due to the lights on the floor that are left on during the movie along with the lights on the sides of the theater that impede on the screen too. Considering that a large portion of this movie is in caves and dark, it was pretty noticeable. For $25 I hoped this would be the best theater experience ever, but I couldn't get over it.

    This is a really clean movie theater. It has the recliner type chairs and regular chairs. You actually choose your seats when you get your tickets. They offer all the usually candy and popcorn but also pizza. The matinee show is $7 a ticket. The kids that work there are always nice.

    It's okay. From the outside I thought it would like quite different inside but it was just alright. Then again, I'm not really sure what I was expecting. I might have been tainted by my family's opinion of this place and perhaps that's what did it. Funny, since I tried not to let it do that any other time but they were really trying to avoid this place. LOL I suppose the idea of seeing a movie was too much and the other theaters were either too much trouble to get to or the show times weren't jiving with our schedule. So they broke down and decided to come here. I enjoy box offices that are situated inside the theater since purchasing tickets can sometimes be something out of National Geographic in terms of weather. The theater was clean and the outside of the IMAX theater is sort of odd - I guess the idea was to make it feel as though it was its own theater altogether. Kind of hard to describe but I think I took pictures that I'll have to upload so you can see what I mean.

    Comfy Seating!!

    This is a gem of a spot!!!! 3 screens!!! Great customer…read moreservice from the staff! Very friendly and courteous! Super patient and professional! I had an issue with my lights. One of the staff was super helpful and shared some information with me that made the visit even better.

As we drove down from Myrtle Beach in moderate rain, heavy winds, and under a tornado watch, I was concerned that we might lose the opportunity to see a drive-in movie. But, alas, the friendly owner assured us that the three shows would go on and that the concession stand would remain open until the movies ended. In addition to watching a movie, we also split a hearty meal of pork BBQ sandwich, beef hot dog with chili, French fries, and soda. More choices were also available including traditional movie favorites like popcorn and candy. The young workers in the concessions area were friendly, and got our order right. The concession area was spotless, even cleared of the pollen common in SC in March. For any RVers out there, this business participates in the Harvest Host program.
