It seems to be privately owned, and the concessions, although limited are incredibly fairly priced all I ever wanted a movie theater is a popcorn, soda, and maybe something sweet and they offer all of that. Great service, great shows, a great experience altogether The second time I went, I had a health issue mid movie. The woman at the concession stand offered me a ticket for a later show. If I wanted. It can't get any better than that and you don't see that kind of service anymore.

After experiencing other theaters, I will say unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not be coming here again. You can sense the shift as soon as you walk in. It feels dirty, it was empty (I know it was a Thursday evening). I really wanted a drink and asked the bartender for a recommendation as I don't know drinks very well and like sweet things. She first suggested a hurricane, and about 4-5 minutes of trying to charge me for it, I guess the machine wasn't letting her indicate that drink so I had to switch to something else that probably cost me more, a Henny Colada. After lots of ice and $22 later, the drink was not worth it. We got popcorn, a drink and candy and it was $46. The theater itself, the seats are run down, they barely recline and they are very deteriorated. I would not go back.

You stand in a line for a bit until they let you in and when you leave they make you walk all the way up and leave that way so beware if you have some mobility issues you may need to have them help you.

The only true IMAX screen/theater around, this is the place to see IMAX content…read more That said, this is also the best place to help you achieve temporary, and potentially permanent, hearing loss in a fun setting. When I watch movies here, my smart watch goes crazy with notifications that the sound is exceeding 80 and 90 decibels. Sounds above 85 decibels are harmful to your hearing. Gas lawn mowers are 85 decibels. Rock concerts are 90-120 decibels. Weekly limit at 90 decibels is 4 hours. Per week total, not per event. So a single 2 hour movie is half your weekly limit (to hopefully avoid permanent hearing loss, but not guaranteed it won't happen sooner) and 30 minutes/day causes temporary hearing loss. If the majority of film goers do not have permanent hearing loss, they will now! That's why I always bring 'Etymotic ER20XS ETY Earplugs' high fidelity, high definition earplugs with 20 dB sound reduction when I go to the movies and concerts. It's like a volume knob for your environment, turning everything down 20 dB equally across all frequencies. These are not foam earplugs which muddies the sound and blocks the highs. They are amazing; have been using them at concerts for many years and more recently now at movie theaters. https://a.co/d/5TOSKtz - these are the ones I have, but looks like they don't make them anymore. https://a.co/d/4HHnXGY - these look like the replacements. I wish I didn't need to bring earplugs to the movies but let's be real; I'll be lucky to get a meaningless canned copy/paste response to this review and it will be even less likely that theater will actually lower the volumes to safe levels.

Usually we are able to watch movies when they release at home via streaming or we'll do the drive in during the summer. This theater went above and beyond my expectations. The lobby was very clean, bright and open. It included a bar and an arcade as well as some seating for those who were waiting for their movies. The snack selection was good, they were out of pretzels when we were there but got pop corn and one of the special character sodas. They also had gourmet popcorn, Cheeto and Oreo flavored. The seats were comfortable and reclined, the theaters had plenty of space so you aren't climbing over each other to get in and out of the rows. Additionally bathrooms were right near the theaters so running to the bathroom mid movie.

I sat 10th row, center and had a perfect view of the screen. The sound was solid as well, but don't expect IMAX or anything like that. I'm glad I popped in.
