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.

If you're on her mailing list, you'll get invites to her openings which are interesting. Check the hours,but you can always peek in the windows if she's closed. She's very knowledgeable. If you like investing in art, this is the place to go. Next closest is Chicago, Indy or St. Louis. Nice to support a local gallery.

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.

This is a great theater, it really is. I had stopped going since the arrival of the Ovation due to…read morethe fact you can reserve seats there. Then I got the news that wehernberg (Now Marcus) had these amazing comfy chairs. I thought, huh...I'll have to check it out on a movie I don't really care about. Then I also heard the game changer - you can now reserve seats! You don't know how much this matters. I love going to blockbusters and nothing is worse than waiting in a long line only to discover you and your group have to split up. Now that I have little ones, that's completely unacceptable. Why it didn't get a 5? I don't know what the problem is here. I don't know if folks that come here just aren't used to reserved seats, aren't being told or just don't care. I never had a problem at ovation, but twice now I've had to throw ppl out of my seats! Oh well.

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. She said she likes how happy the place feels and thinks that's why people like to go there more than other theatres. I agree!
