Okay, my old review was when it was still Carmike. Eight years later and it's now AMC, but still…read morethe best in town. The theaters are cleaner and seats are generally in much better condition here than across town. Popcorn is heaps better here too, plus more food options. The ticket + concessions line here can be really annoying at peak times though, and that's the one thing I don't like about this location. AMC needs to get some self-serve kiosks for tickets here to speed that up.

Was in town visiting my partners sister! We had his 14 year old niece with us!! With there being…read morelittle to nothing to do in Champaign we opted to go to the movies! We saw Dungeons and dragons, highly recommend even if you don't know anything about the game! Lines were a bit confusing, ticket line and concessions are the same line. So essentially you buy your tickets and popcorn at the same time. Less card swiping, but lingers wait times! The popcorn station is pretty cool! The guy behind the counter was very nice and funny, he even helped me out and only filled my popcorn half way so I could put some extra butter on it, then filled the rest!! A true gem! I was surprised to see how much security there was, we're from Chicago and don't even have that many!! The main theater is HUGE!! Very impressive! Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Movie volume was perfect. I hate when you go to the movies and your eardrums are going to burst! The only sad part was the concessions was closed by the time we got out of the movie!! I get it, workers wanted to go home but my partners niece really wanted to take some popcorn home!

If you find yourself stranded and not into Big Ten sports? Where do you go in such a place? Trust me, walk through the door of Cinema Gallery and you will find yourself in some other realm. There are many more colors than just Orange and Blue, especially if you catch some of the glass pieces casting rainbows during the day. Some say culture traveled between New Orleans and Chicago and moved as fast as it could between the two cities once. Something must have fallen from the train and it stuck around Cinema Gallery. It is nothing short of gorgeous.

The girl at the register just stares at us. So we walk over. No hi, hey, or how you doing. Literally silence. It was pretty awkward. We ordered our tickets. Then she finally speaks after we get our tickets. "Enjoy the movie." Then as we're walking away I hear her say, ""Hi, how are you tonight?" to the next people. Ok. We decided to skip snacks and drinks. Went to our seats. The seats are good but not great. If you didn't know, you can order cooked food now. That's awesome but there's no where to sit your food. I'm guessing you put it in your lap. That's the other downside. I had to smell my neighbors onion rings. Bleh. Not my idea of setting the atmosphere. My last beef is the main reason I won't be going back. I decided I was thirsty. I get in line. The kid at the register looked up at me. I'd say I was third in line. The first person gets there items and leaves. He tells the next lady, he'll be right back. He comes back. Takes her order. Gets her stuff and leaves. He walks away. Doesn't say anything to me. I'm waiting and waiting. I finally look over and this guy is at another register taking someone's order! I was irritated. He knew I was there. I skipped buying a drink. I just wanted to watch my movie and leave. If you want to see how a movie experience like this is supposed go then travel to the CMX at the Mall of America. You can order food AND the seats come with trays to put your food on. The seating is comfortable and not cramped. This location was more concerned with how many recliner seats they can squeeze in. Oh..best part at CMX if you want a drink then you can easily get one. Shocking!

Employees know their jobs well and managers have been quick in helping me with my rewards card. The main theatre #1 is beautiful! 1930's architecture is hard to come by in such good condition, let alone still a public venue. A true timepiece from a different era, still serving the modern moviegoer. Of course some people have had their own bad experiences, but when I got to know the staff, unlike many reviews on Yelp, they really opened up how much they like their job and how some days it's hard to please anyone. I understand customer service jobs don't always hire the best people, but Classic Cinemas has made an effort at Paramount. Last time I was there I saw they got new card and chip readers, self-serve butter and soda stations, amazing recliners (which they've had for a while), and a new manager who was very nice to me.
