A gem in a region sorely lacking for movie theatres, though I'd say the studios aren't really making too many pictures for folks who don't T have young kids or who don't like horror flicks. Great popcorn and when they have a movie I want to see I can't wait. read more

Fine place to watch a movie. Friendly service. Good snacks. Comfortable seats. Good sound level.

Always loveovies on the big screen. There is usually something I want to see.Summer is another matter, But, that's to be expected...

I'm only going to give it 4 stars as it's new website is highly dysfunctional. The movie selections are great and I'd love to return as soon as they can get their website up and running correctly so I can make sense of times and shows. I am writing this review so management can take note about the website issues so as to get people back into this beloved theater. read more

Decent movie theater in Great Barrington. With the summer crowds it can be very congested in town and finding parking can be tricky. Also- if you're not familiar with this theater, finding the theater can be tricky since it is not located on the street so you can't see it unless you enter the public parking lot. But once you find it, it's actually a decent little theater. They show mainstream and independent films. Theaters are quite clean. Seats are okay- cloth upholstered not leather. Concession stand looks fine though I did not indulge. read more

I've always gone to the triplex, i've never had a negative experience before. Tonight a friend and I were going to a movie that started at 7:40 we were running behind and got there at 8. We were surprised when the doors were locked as we've been late to movies before and never had any issues getting inside, and we really weren't that late. The three people working looked right at us talked to each other then did nothing. we figured maybe they didn't see us, we stood there and they definitely saw us and nothing. nobody came to the door or to tell us if they weren't allowed to let people in. I have no clue but i'm honestly upset that no one could have even told us what was going on. we just stood there for awhile and eventually left. disappointed tbh read more

Small and intimate but huge in celebration of the newest films and varied other classic and independ flicks. I'm happy to catch the almost annual Woody Allen film here in the summer, in a theater that is always packed with like minded couples who roar like canned laughter at just the right times. Old fashioned " vintage " seats !!! read more

In an area where the options are, "Drive 30 minutes to Winsted to sit in a moldy nine-screen cinema with rowdy teens doing unspeakable things in a public setting", "Drive more than an hour for a decent large theater with stadium seating", or "Drive 20 minutes to the nice small town theater with classy intellectual films and the summer's biggest blockbusters", I pick Triplex by a long shot anytime! Four screens, usually alternating four to six movies, in the heart of Great Barrington offer a myriad of good films. There is usually something to please any cinematic palate. A recent trip back there boasted "The Change - Up", the last Harry Potter film, "The Trip", "Beginners", and "Sun Flower & The Secret Fan". There is literally something for all ages and all cinematic tastes, and for those that saw "The Change - Up", they can later redeem themselves by seeing one of the other more stellar films. In addition, The Triplex is the host to the annual Berkshire International Film Festival, showcasing new independent films along with panel discussions with filmmakers. I doubt your local theater does the same. If it wasn't for the Triplex, most people would have to drive 30+ minutes to see a big summer blockbuster and probably much much further to see any independent film of substance. Even in NYC, it takes me a 30+ minute subway ride to get to a good independent movie theater. It'd be quicker for me to drive from my parents' house to Great Barrington to the Triplex! (Oh, the humor I find in that...) read more

The Triplex is a top notch, independent theater, nestled in the heart of the quaint and artsy Massachusetts town of Great Barrington. I wish boston had places like this! Well in a way, we do...but the largeness of the Coolidge Corner theater and the corporate like Kendall theater can't really compare with the truly independent feel of the Triplex Cinema. Living in a some-what remote area, a small farming town about 20 mi north of Great Barrington, I was sure I wouldn't be able to see Napoleon Dynamite when it came out, but the Triplex showed it! Oh happy day! They occasionally show bigger, hollywood movies but usually ones that are in good taste, and garnering critical acclaim. With nearby, Simon's Rock College, an alternative to high school for uber smart kids, the Triplex is thriving and I hope will continue to do so. There is also a Sushi restaurant, Gon San, that shares the same space as the theater and is located in a loft area that overlooks the lobby, pretty neat! read more

Upon entry me and my compatriot were denied entry to movie we were looking forward to for months. The staff for the most part was standing around doing nothing and after we tried to buy tickets we were patronized and ridiculed by them. After being given the worst showing of disrespect and unprofessional behavior we left. What makes no sense is how they said it would be scary yet I don't think after looking at their faces for more then 2 seconds I could see any things more terrifying. This encounter really says slot about how this "establish", if it can be called one, is run. So if your looking forward to seeing a movie at the triplex here's pretty much the run down of what your walking into: 1. Walk into place trying to be to artsy for a town too small 2. Encounter staff who possess a little too much sass 3. Get turned down and feel uncomfortable as the cashier and the rest of the triplex trolls stare at you as you walk back outside into the cold 4. Try again with adult but still get turned down this time even ruder. Then (what I can only assume as sloth from the goonies) tries but fails, (seeing as he is a employee at a small town theatre and no comedian), to make a witty remark about Peter Pan 5. Leave and go to a better theatre Overall a pretty bad experience and some really bad staff. Really disappointed but I have one question: How is it that at age 16 a movie will affect me more then 17? Didn't think it made much of a difference seeing as the only things I'll get nightmares from is the staff then the movie. read more

Being an avid movie goer triplex Great Barrington has the saltiest popcorn of any theater that I have been to. I have been traveling 45 minutes to Barkhamsted to avoid the salt. Nice little theater but it's all about the popcorn and this is the worst. People can add salt but this must be 60's - 70's mentality that if it's salty they will drink more. read more

Very small but nice movie theater. The theaters are very clean which is important to me. Parking can be tricky. It's a super tiny parking lot. I lucked out because someone was pulling out just as I got there. I think it's a public lot and not just for the theater. The popcorn was good. They also sell beer and wine which is cool. He tickets are a bit pricey. I think they were 13 bucks which is a lot more than I expected. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

The Triplex has long been the best movie theatre in the area; however they managed to alienate myself and many other long time customers, by not informing patrons that the air conditioning was not working on the hottest day of the year thus far. Whatever they gained in ticket purchases, they lost in mistreating loyal and dependable customers. Most of tonight's patrons were "seniors" who were very uncomfortable in a stuffy , hot and humid theatre. The Triplex managent should be ashamed. The manager disappeared, leaving a young staff to deal with angry patrons. read more

The Triplex Cinema is my go-to theater when I don't feel like driving an hour to Albany to go to the Spectrum. Triplex is a small, independent theater located right in the middle of downtown Great Barrington. It shows some mainstream films, but it also plays a lot of independent movies, which is what I go there for. Great Barrington draws a great deal of tourism during the summer months, so you will find that the Triplex is frequently packed during that time, but that has never stopped me from going! In addition to your typical popcorn and candy, the concession stand here sell some locally made packaged baked goods. I bought some cookies that looked remarkably similar to the "cannon balls" my mother makes during the holidays, and they were delicious. I had to leave the theater (before the movie started, of course) and buy some more. The one drawback that I can think of is that they sell movie tickets in the same lines as the food, which makes it pretty slow-going. Get there early! read more

Great hometown theater that tends to lean more on art house / independent films and not big budget Hollywood blockbusters. They do program populist cinema at times , but thats probably to please the younger crowds. Either way, comfortable seating, good atmosphere, clean. Love going here. read more

If you like indie movies and critically acclaimed films with a sprinkle of blockbuster hits set in one of the cutest towns in the southern Berkshires, you'll like the Triplex. It's my go-to spot for seeing a movie, and I've had plenty of great experiences. Grab some local snacks from the concessions stand and enjoy the show! read more

I went to Simon's Rock and reviewed movies for the college newspaper, so I was at the Triplex just about every weekend for two years. The location isn't the most intuitive and the architecture doesn't match the rest of town at all, but it's still got character and, for a relatively small multiplex, shows a surprisingly good mix of commercial and indie/foreign films. The staff was also always very friendly to me. The Triplex is an essential part of the GB community, and I hope it's able to survive and thrive for many years to come. read more

I have had several good experiences here over many years, however: I have also had several experiences where I've had to walk out of a movie due to technical problems, and it has gotten to the point that my wife has forbidden us from seeing movies here in the future, because we don't want to risk it not working out. The first incident was with Ratatouille in (I guess) 2007. We were really looking forward to the movie. The movie began, and there was no sound, but the picture was fine. This went on for several minutes. I ran out of the theater to inform the manager that there was no sound. At a certain point the sound came on, but they refused to start the movie over again, claiming that this was technically impossible! Needless to say, as we'd missed the beginning of the movie, we walked out and got a refund. It was I believe the next day that we went back, to try to see Ratatouille again.This time I go the phone number of the manager before the movie started and had it entered on my cell phone, just in case anything should go wrong... sure enough, the movie started, and the curtains weren't fully drawn -- i.e., the movie was projecting partly onto the curtains. So I called the manager from the theater and whispered "The curtains in Ratatouille... the curtains in Ratatouille..." They quickly resolved the issue, but it was annoying. So today we went to see The King's Speech. Again, very excited to see this movie. When the first preview came on I noticed a fairly loud buzzing/static noise coming from one of the speakers. ("Oh no, it's happening again," I though to myself.) I waited until the second preview just to make sure it wasn't a problem with the material. When the buzz continued, I ran out and told one of the employees what was going on, and she called the manager. I went back into the theater, and the movie started shortly thereafter, with the buzz. I tried to see if I could tolerate it, but quickly concluded that I couldn't. So we walked out. The manager wanted to give us a voucher, but I explained that we'd had problems with the theater in the past, and would prefer cash. He obliged. We've *never* had these sorts of technical issues at other theaters, and we see movies pretty often. read more

I have had some wonderful dealings with this theater. I arranged a birthday party for my son with a lot of gracious assistance from all of the staff, from the manager on down. That being said, I am constantly disappointed by the lack of at least one movie for kids here, most of the time. I know that this town caters to richer, older people who have summer homes in the area, but regular families with children live here - FULL TIME - as well. I know this is a small, independent theater and it doesn't have the flexibility of a larger chain, but the (often) total lack of kids' entertainment is a serious detriment. read more

this place shows movies. they have four theaters instead of three. i thought their website was triplexxx.com. it is not.

Never sit in theatre 3 on a saturday night. The sound of third rate street musicians comes through the wall and is more than distracting. The manager doesn't really give a damn about it. read more

Not a good place at all. You can't use a Beacon Theater gift card at this theater or a Triplex gift card at the Beacon even though they are owned by the same people-not customer friendly at all read more
