I am a long time patron of this theater, there was a time when I thought I would not be coming back, but times have changed. The new company (Cinemark) that owns this theater has been putting money in all the right places - seat upgrades, paint, repairs, security, and the employees all think well of it. Ticket prices are way reasonable, and these reviews complaining about concession prices are exaggerating a lot - there is no way it could cost more than 40$ to get 3 people popcorn and pop, even if they each got a Large Popcorn and Large Drink it would be $34.50, but I dont know why anyone would need their own large popcorn and large drink - those sizes are obviously meant for sharing, you can get more than enough with their small popcorn and medium drink (what I get) - for less than 10 bucks, or for all the health conscious people there is a snack pack for only 5$ that comes with popcorn, a drink, and a snack. The concession prices are higher than Trilliums, but the tickets are much lower, so really it evens out. Also, this place is never sold out, the theater is huge and I almost never have to sit right next to anyone I dont know. They have great screenings - sometimes as early as 4pm the day before it comes out so you dont have to be leaving the theater in Flint at midnight. I love the people there, and I love the theater, and I honestly dont know why it doesnt have all 5 star reviews.

This theater is the worst place to go to watch a movie. I was so stressed out at the amount of money I spent at the concession stand, that I couldnt enjoy the movie. The concession workers are very arrogant and disrespectful. They think theyre doing the customer a favor by selling the high priced popcorn and drinks. Their prices are outrageously high. I had a worker try to sell me popcorn flavoring for $1.50, she said its because customers had taken the flavorings in the past. This should of been complimentary. I asked her why dont they keep popcorn flavoring behind the counter and allow customers use it in front of them. She replied "either you buy or not", It costs $16.95 for that stale, hard popcorn and 2 drinks. This city is already struggling financially and then you try to take your family out and support our local businesses and they try to rip us off. Shame on the Rave theater owners. If you put your prices down on movies and the concession stand, you will most likely sell out and make a lot of money. You need to think about that and stop being so greedy. I will never return. I will stick to NCG cinemas in Burton and in Grand Blanc. I know Im not the only one complaining because other customers had the same complaints.

I witnessed ignorance from your staff. I was standing behind these two African American ladies and your employee "Chrissy" was talking very rudely and sassing the customers. She was calling herself cussing them out and being highly disrespectful. Then when they went to the movie theatre room she was talking about them behind their backs in front of customers like myself. Since I witnessed this I do Not want to be bothered with Rave anymore. If you cant control the disrespectful mouths of your employees then I will go spend my money else where. Chrissy was white with short hair and she was chunky. This happened around 8pm November 4th, 2014. Oh and one more thing she did become a little racist by stating that the reason why the prices are high is because "People like you" (meaning black people) steal them. Your prices are high to keep the blacks out. Sad so sad but what she failed to realize is that I am white with black children and I got offended. The customer still spent $17.00 on popcorn and two pops. But the prices are ridiculous at the concessions. Well I hope she gets let go for her actions because it was highly inappropriate.

**Matinee times only** Its in a good area of Flint but I will not go there after matinee hours. which is anything before six oclock after six oclock towards the later evening, the crowd becomes overloaded with young disrespectful, rude, loud and obnoxious teenagers or young adults. which Im sure this problem occurs mostly anywhere. which is why I always go to matinee no matter what city or theater Im at. mainly during the week because the weekend you never know . Unless its a early show, I say between opening show time and 430 5 oclock. you usually dont get that type of crowd. For me its just safer and smarter. Not to mention the tickets prices are very reasonable, over the years the ticket price has changed a little, but you can always call and they will give you a price. and the theater is near a few fast food restaurants and little stores or gas stations. I personally always eat either before or after. because I think food prices at theaters are a ripoff thats my personal opinion.

June 16th 2017 I and three of my friends went to see the movie, "All Eyez On Me". The entire time we felt disrespected and felt we were victims of racial profiling. We bought our tickets 40 minutes before the movie was to show. Yet we were accosted by armed security guards multiple times even after we set on a bench to wait for the movie to start. Then I witness the same armed security guards accost three pre teens/teens who were trying to buy items at the concession stand. Then after we bought items from the concession stand was headed to watch our movie we were stopped by another security guard and asked to show our tickets. Yet we had already done this twice before. Only I and two of my friends were asked to show our tickets, my other friend who happens to be White was not accosted by the security guards or asked to show his movie ticket multiple times. I will not be spending another dime at this movie theater! I do not recommend anybody goes to this movie theater!

The staff at the concession area was beyond rude to my daughter and I. Then the actual theater was a pig sty with food on the floor and seats along with wrappers, wadded up napkins, empty cups and sticky seats and floors. It was GROSS!!! Then midway through the movie a group of rowdy teens came in and sat down behind us putting their feet on the backs of our seats and being loud and rude. Staff was notified and did NOTHING about it. We moved seats to avoid the creeps but thats just stupid to have to go through all that when WE are paying customers and they were crashing the movie as they were joking around with each other saying. I would NOT recommend this theater. The prices are too high for EVERYTHING and the environment is not family friendly at all. Go to NCG better prices and cleaner theaters with better security! Rave Cinema SUCKS!

My husband and I dont get out often We have 3 children and we rarely have time for each other. After taking care of the bills and doing the weeks grocery shopping we decided to spend our last $20 on us and go see a movie. My MIL graciously offered to watch the little ones and off we went. The woman at the cash register swiped our card and hit a button, immediately mulling oops under her breath. She asked us to run it again and this time it was denied. My husband pulled out his phone and check the balance. The money was gone, claimed to be pending by Rave. She had refunded the money instead of accepting the transaction. She called the manager over and he took one look at us and told us to leave and not be a nuisance. Thank you Rave, for ruining a very rare night out for two exhausted parents.
