Id like to start by saying in my formative youth I lived at your theater, I probably saw 5 movies a month. With that being said I love the remodel, it looks very nice. The purpose of this email is this weekend I tool my so to see that God Awful movie the power rangers and while they took there seats I went to order food for my family consisting of 1 drink, 2 entrees and 3 condiments for a total of 6 items....I know what your thinking, not to hard to remember that right? After the cashier took my order about 10 minutes later a girl from the kitchen brought up 2 boxes with my food so I grabbed my Drink and food and went to the theater to watch the movie. Of course My wife immidietly asked wheres the condiments? Did you not ask for Ranch and honey mustard for the Chicken fingers? You didnt ask them for ketchup for Logans fries? I said why of course Dear! I then proceeded to walk Back up to the restaurant area where a group of people had formed (its 730 on a Saturday so of course its a little crowded....like 8-12 people so not that crowded) I then wait 23 minutes....No Im not making that up, I wait 23 minutes so I can re request what I had 33 minutes ago and just when I think hes going to call on me he darts over to the other end of the Bar and takes the order of 2 people who had just walked up. About 3 minutes later the girl from the Kitchen walks out and I request to go and get the other items I had ordered, really I WILL GO AND GET THEM!! Lord knows I do not want to waste another 30 minutes. So in Conclusion please either A: Hire more staff to assist the Cashier(he was continuously working so Its not like hes lazy) or B: Leave Condiments out so Customers can get them there selves.

as a former employee, I can honestly say that quitting this awful place was one of my best decisions. when Ale was the manager, I loved my job. but, the new manager is the reason why I quit, and little does he know, he is the reason for the loss of all of the employees after me. hes also the reason why hes about to lose even more of his employees. he is arrogant and rude and harsh and I feel bad for my friends that have to work with him every day, including the assistant managers that Im very close with. not only is the GM a huge prick, but I came and saw a movie and had a huge bug crawl up my arm from inside the seat while I was eating popcorn. now, lets sit back and watch him do absolutely nothing about the bug problem or the way that his harsh demeanor affects his employees. (only rated 5 stars so people can see)

I used to come to this theatre frequently and had been for nearly 20 years. I tried to go here my cousin who is 15 to see the movie Sully, about the plane that landed in the Hudson river but they would not allow it. They have s rule here that doesnt allow anyone under the age of 18 to see any movies after 8pm unless accompanied by someone over the age of 21. My 15 year old cousin and I (19) can both drive cars, I can buy guns, lottery tickets, cigarettes, and explosives but can not go see a movie with someone who is old enough to do most of those things. I assume the rule is to prevent the theatre from becoming a day care but get real. Its a stupid rule and from now on Im going to University 16. I

I am a long time customer having gone here for over a decade. In all that time the theater has been very good on supplying a good movie experience. Nowadays a lot has changed and for the better. The inclusion of a restuarant and bar has really allowed for a better experience by allowing you to bring good quality food and alcohol into any of the theaters. Beyond that the staff is always friendly and quick to help and the entire building is very clean with only the occasional sticky floor from a spilled drink or nacho combo. A definite choice to go to if you want to see a movie.

We attend Beechwood more than University 16 because its less expensive & more restaurants are nearby. It could stand an upgrade as mentioned in earlier reviews. One thing that I dont understand is why it is so cold in the theatre. In the middle of the summer, I have to wear a light weight jacket to be comfortable. Glad someone else pays the air conditioning bill. Has someone found a correlation between being cold and consumption of popcorn.? Staff is always friendly, and the lines move along. Save yourself some frustration and park behind the theatre.

I thought I liked this place, but Ive realized that this theater does not care at all about the presentation of the movies themselves. Ive noticed that they do not bother to show a film in its correct aspect ratio, which can be noticed in things like opening credits or other text on screen. Also, one screening I saw, the movie randomly stopped, and the screen started showing the First Look previews. A minute later, the movie resumed, but not where it left off. Also, the lights in the auditorium turned back on.

Twice now I have been to this cinema and been disappointed with the sound in the theater. the balance between the center speaker, the left and right, the sub, and the surrounds is so lopsided that it was hard to enjoy the movie without being able to enjoy the dynamic sound experience that we expect when we pay so much for a ticket. I dont forsee the theatre having their rooms recalibrated anytime soon.. As this is my second disappointing experience there. if you are an audiofile, dont go see films here!

Theyre fine. The theaters are generally clean, they always have the latest big hits, they move lines along fairly quickly but they also fail to be outstanding in any way at this location, unlike Cine downtown which has an immense personality and added value. But, since they only have two screens and favor independents, if theres a 3D blockbuster I want to see first run in Athens, I see it here.

Worst movie experience yet. Went to The Dark Knight Rises midnight premiere and the sound did not work the entire time. Many people, myself included, walked out of the theater multiple times to tell management about the problem. They did nothing and did not even offer any sort of refund or compensation for the horrible experience. Do not go here. Go to carmike in Athens

I like this Theater, employees are nice enough, a couple PR classes and they could shine right up, but. But the pop corn leaves a great deal to be desired. My suggestion to the owners is; please change vendors or product as Ive decided: I can not to spend hard earned funds on very poor and cold, unsatisfying popcorn. Nice Theater though.

One time I went to the managers office to tell them how much I liked the theater. I was about to knock on the door when I heard an older gentlemans voice behind the door loudly singing along to Rock Lobster, but he was singing the chorus as "cock monster". The teenager in the box office looked very nervous. 5 stars.
