This movie theatre is O.K, except for the acres of gum and popcorn on the floor, the holes in he ceilings, the uncomfortable seats, the bad sound quality, and the outdated game systems. The Floor- when I first went in to the theatre to sit down, i thought that i was walking on bubblewrap floor. Wherever i stepped, I heard crinkling noises from the popcorn. And i saw small dots on the floor, which were probably gum. Eww... The Ceilings- i looked up and saw water damaged ceilings, and one of the foam ceiling panels had a big hole in it, surrounded by mold and stains. They also had fans, but they did nothing but collect dust. The Seats- About half of the seats were incredibly squeaky, all of them felt like I was sitting on a slab of cement, and There was gum and ticket stubs in the cupholders. The Sound- when I heard the sound, I thought that they either used 50 computer speakers, or that they had a 5 year old fix all the wiring. The Games- I did not see any games that looked like they were made in the past decade. There was one Car game where the wheel spun around nonstop. If that was part of the game, then they need new games. If it wasnt, then they need new games.

Its not a bad theater, but the place just feels old and under-maintained. The staff is friendly and seems upbeat, and some of the theaters have nice sound, but everything is old! The arcades are a joke: nothing newer than 2000 is allowed in the building, and there was one time when I counted 8 machines with out of order signs on them, meaning about half the place was broken. Speaking of broken, I went here to see Green Lantern several months ago and the line went out the door and took FOREVER to get tickets. When I finally got to the ticket lady she informed me that not only were the credit card machines not working, but her computer was freezing up on her. She was surprisingly polite about the situation, which made me feel bad for her, but also bummed because I ended up being late to my movie due to the inconvenience. Like I said, not all is bad: the concession prices are much cheaper than AMC, and the popcorn is amazing, even for someone like me who isnt necessarily a popcorn fanatic. Plus the free refills on large items helps too. Hope this review helped!

List movie theater used to be the go to place on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon. However with new theaters coming up this place has become what I refer to to as a s*** hole. The seeds are rotting away the floors are sticky and the seeds resemble those from United Airline coach class flight that youre afraid youre going to get your ass dragged out by a flight attendant or a security guard. Every time I walk down the aisle my feet tend to stick to the ground due to spill pop and popcorn thats probably been there for the last 20 years. If this place wants to continue to gain new customers I would recommend installing a new seats and cleaning your floors. The one thing that this place has going for itself is cheap tickets and affordable popcorn and snacks for the kids.

Its about the same distance between this theater and AMC Roseville but I always go to WBT17 because its less crowded in the parking lots and theaters. Matinee prices are $5.50 and later is $7.50. Screens and sound are up to date and comfortable stadium seating in every theater, and every theater Ive been in has been well cleaned. During the summer they do free showings of kids movies on Wednesdays which have been great.

First time since Emagine took over from Mueller and not impressed. Waited an unusual amount of time at concessions even for a busy theater, which this was not. They had no bottled water so they gave me two cups and pointed at the drinking fountain. Apparently i work there as a water cup filler while trying to balance 2 tubs of terrible corn we couldnt even eat. It was so bad. Drive to Marcus Oakdale and enjoy it!

During the week you are better off going to AMC Rosedale; its just $5 for a movie instead of $9.75 this place charges. On my last visit I asked for a cup of water. They gave me a cup and told me to fill it on my own at a drinking fountain -- which was broken and sprayed water everywhere. Quite rude. Other than that, theres nothing too entirely special here. Concessions are slightly cheaper than elsewhere.

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and 2 of the doors in the womens bathrooms do not shut. The cashier who helped me was very rude and put it my order incorrectly. The theater is very over priced in my opinion, and the customer service was very minimal. I also had to go through 3 different sets of 3D glasses until I found a pair that were not scratched up or dirty.

Great theater. Great service. Great prices. Ticket prices are really cheap compared to Marcus or AMC. Concessions is also really cheap. The popcorn is delicious! They have the best freaking popcorn in the state. The staff is generally really nice, especially during the rushes. The theaters are usually quite clean, which is nice. Overall, just a really awesome place :)

This is the local theater in the Centennial School District area, everyone usually goes here and tickets are cheaper than most others. I went to an evening show at another theater and was surprised by the ticket and concession price. White Bear can be a little dirty but it has many theaters and the speakers are great.

This movie theatre is awesome compared to other ones. They treat you with good service, nice food, and last a CLEAN movie theatre. They always are nice, sometimes they even charge you less than the tickets really cost. If oyur looking for a movie theater then you should try this one.Youll love it. I know you will.

This will always be my favorite theater for discount matinees. The venue itself is a bit out of date, but concessions service is fairly fast, and cant beat the $5 matinee prices. Plenty of parking, and not crazy busy most of the times Ive been there, unlike the Rosedale AMC (which is equally close for me).

Decent theater that isnt usually busy. The popcorn is good. It doesnt have all the bells and whistles that other theaters have but thats what I like. I just want popcorn and to see a movie. Dont need all the other gimmicks.

The White Bear Township Theatre is a wonderful place to take friends and family to see a newly released movie. The theaters are clean and comfortable, the screens are without imperfections, and the surround sound is impeccable.

I recommend the theater a lot. It has the best popcorn in Minnesota! The speakers are amazing it isnt to quiet and not to loud but just right. The seating is phenomenal and very comfortable. This theater is a must.

$8 tickets. Nice theater. Usually we have to wait a long time for popcorn, even if there are more people working than people in line. I wonder what they are doing? They look busy, but no one is getting my popcorn.

Seating is a little old, but the value for tickets, popcorn and soda cant be beat. This has been my primary movie theatre for years. Unfortunately more recently they changed the popcorn and it is extremely bland
