Entrance

I'm gonna make this reel simple. Temeku has to be the best matinee pricing. For two people it's only $20. The snacks always win the scene. Cheesy french fries Parmesan chicken fingers, and of course popcorn. The staff are scene-sational The concession stand has a seating area if you want to relax before or after the movie nice work team roll with the credits.

Newly remodeled, Temeku Cinemas won me over. It is unlike the big movie theaters. Everything is clean. The seats are very comfortable. Prices for their refreshments are reasonable. Service was good . It has a small theater feel.

Loaded Elote Nachos

This movie theater is 10/5. They are always clean, professional, machines always working, seats are clean, popcorn never burnt. We love coming here on Tuesdays as a family! They have a great menu with finger foods and desserts. The elote nachos are super yummy!

Chicken Tenders with the bbq and chipotle sauce for the win!

This was my FIRST time coming here with my hubby and it certainly will not be our last. At first we were like where's the box office? So we went inside and a nice man told us that we can get the tickets at the cashier line which was the same line to order food... AVATAR: 10/10 WOW! This movie was 3 hours long and did not disappoint! Totally worth seeing in theaters... THEATER: 10/10 was very clean and there was a lot of space to walk. The recliners were very comfortable and I like the fact that it has a personal table and cup holder... SERVICE: 10/10 MAX was very patient, friendly and helpful. We told her this was our first time here and she said we can just touch the screen for the seats we wanted. She also recommended the chicken tenders and Parmesan garlic fries! I really enjoyed the crispy chicken tenders and the chipotle sauce and BBQ sauce... We decided to sign up for MEMBERSHIP! We prefer this nice and quiet hidden gem over AMC and Edwards!! KEEP ON ROCKN TEMEKU CINEMAS!!!

Great sitting

Oh how I enjoyed coming here! They sampled their drafts to make sure we enjoyed our choice of drink. - Area to add condiments to your popcorn. ** Recliners - main reason to come here and they did not disappoint! ** (Next time we will definitely be trying the food out)

The theater is always clean and easy to get to your movie hall. The popcorn was freshly popped, you get free refills if you get the large bucket.

Trivia before our feature

Tuesday is bargain day. We took the grandkids to see GOAT. The movie was just okay but the venue was definitely 5 stars. It was a rainy day so thank god there was a butt load of parking near the entrance. Check in was easy. The guy that checks you in also gets you your bucket of refillable popcorn. They even have a self service abundance station that includes a butter pump and every popcorn seasoning you could imagine. The theater our movie was in (theater 6) is big with nice comfortable reclining chairs that have a retractable table. Sound is outstanding as is the high definition screen. Our visit to Temeku Cinemas was all that and a bag of chips. 5 stars all the way!

I am reluctant to give this theater a 5 star review, because I'd like to keep this hidden gem a secret! I don't go to the movies often, but wanted to see Project Hail Mary. The price for the morning showing was cheap. The theater parking is plentiful. The bathrooms and theater are clean. They have a great food and drink menu as well. The seats are clean and very comfortable. I also enjoy not having to sit through 25+ minutes of endless ads before the movie actually starts. It shows about 2-3 trailers and then the movie starts. Love it! The screen and sound quality are excellent. I really enjoy this theater.

We've never been to this movie theater, but it was playing, "K Pop Demon Hunters A Sing Along Event" on Sunday 8/24/25. Our girls invited some of their friends and we all went. 2 adult and 2 children tickets cost $68.56 through Fandango app. Upon entering no one checked our tickets. I saw some staff huddled to the side having a convo so I asked if I needed to show my tickets. The gentleman said yes and scanned my tickets. Then we made our way to concessions. The line was thankfully short. We ordered all of our food and headed to the theater. We were quickly asked to wait a bit and step out while it was cleaned, yay! We sat outside, ate our munchies in the seating area, which by the way had a giant Huntrix picture area with balloons! Heck yes! Nice touch for all the kids. Then we went inside and the theater was a good size; not too big, not too small. The cushioned seats reclined, what?!, and had plenty of space to pass by! The inside of the theater looked recently updated, but I have no idea since it was our first time being there. We loved the super comfortable reclining theater seats so that will bring us back.

Spacious seats

This is a beautiful theater! The remodel has made it a complete luxury theater! They feature local wineries, which I love! The seats recline and are incredibly comfortable! The sound and picture are fantastic. I won't go to any other theater in the area. They are of our quality and need serious revamping but not this gem!!! The bathrooms are clean, the theaters have wood flooring and seats are spaced nicely apart. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Don't waste your hard earned money and go to reading cinema, regal, or AMC. Temeku is all you need for a great price!

Love visiting this small location, especially during their Tuesday special where all movies are $5.75, all day. The reclining seats are nice and super comfy. They don't have stadium seating but the room isn't huge anyways so every seat still has a great view, mostly. I just wouldn't recommend sitting up front on the far sides. The staff is very friendly and welcoming so that's always a plus!

Ask the Community - Temeku Cinemas

Has this theatre opened since its shut down and renovation?

Yes

So it's NOT our local cheap theater anymore?

No, first run movies now but the only locally owned theater. Totally refurbished for a more comfortable experience.

What's up with the website?

From what I understand they have been refurbishing the theater and have not opened back up yet. I also read that they may try to become a first run movie theater, which will be sad if so.

I hadn't been to this theater in many years. It's been totally remodeled since then. The seats are…read morevery comfortable and roomy. Although a little worn already. Sound quality was good, the environment nice. I didn't have any food or drinks, but they do serve alcohol now. It's easy to purchase tickets and seats online.

This update is mostly about the food…read more.. Ya'll, I used to rave about the food here. They had the best veggie burger in the area and the best nachos I could find anywhere around. But it appears tough times have hit this theater or perhaps whoever used to make the food has moved on. Idk if you can tell from the pics, but the food quality has gone down. When I placed my order -in person and not over the app, not over the site- I asked about the nachos specifically: "are they dry?Or is there plenty of cheese?" 'Cus last visit, they were stingy with the cheese and toppings-the complete opposite of what I first experienced when I found this place. The cashier sounded unsure so I asked if I could order extra cheese. He assured, asking if I meant shredded cheese or nacho cheese. I said nacho cheese. I noticed the price didn't go up, so I thought perhaps he entered it in the notes or something. Well when I got my order, I noticed the chips were layered like cookies in a tray. I took it, maybe his notes worked and they wanted to give each chip extra love and attention. Nah. Bruh, I ended up with even less of everything than I expected. Even less than last time. All the cheese and sour cream you see there in the pics, that's solely on the tips. Also had the vegan burger. As you can see, the bread is drastically different from before. It's incredibly thick (not in a good way) from from bottom to top, but very narrow as far as being proportional to the patty. It didn't work well at all and it all fell apart for me. These pics are from inside the theater so lighting is limited but I was very disappointed. I came to see Backrooms and overall, to treat myself. This wasn't the treat I remembered. The food is consistently going down in quality so I'm not planning to return. It was nice while it lasted.
