I would love to give this facility five stars because of its great variety of films, but there are a few drawbacks. There are many movies shown here that you cant really see many other places. This is about the only good thing I have to say. The projection in the theater is not very good. Many times, the place is also very dirty. But above all, the people that work there are the worst. Nearly every time I go to this theater, there are several employees that are extremely rude upon our arrival and do not want to help anyone at all. On top of that, they have their very own alcove in the corner of the concession area where they sit around and watch things on a laptop and THEY DO NOT LIKE BEING INTERRUPTED. Ive had to learn this the hard way by getting a very bad attitude from a young lady on several occasions. If they arent watching something, theyll be on their phones. I have nothing against phones, but youre working and that should not be your priority when you are supposed to be helping people. The theater is great, but there are many things about it that make me question whether or not I should return.

Plays indie movies, has decent hours, and the ticket prices arent expensive. Interior is decent, and the pop corn is good. Best thing really is that there arent a lot of other theaters in central NJ that play so many indie movies regularly-this is the spot. Also, near by is a good little Chinese food restaurant (actually Taiwanese I believe), and across the street is a really good Italian restaurant, so you can do those before/after a movie. Note: dont confuse this theater with Montgomery Cinema up the street in Bell Meade-that one is a regular theater! This (i.e., Montgomery Cinemas -note the "s" at the end), on the other hand, is the indie movie spot. You can find this theater on moviefone. come, where as the other one comes up on fandango for some reason --tickets cant be bought on line (at least on the date of this posting).

We always love to go to our beloved Montgomery Cinema. They have the best selection of films ever, and we frequently try to see ALL the films that are shown here, because it is such a great selection. We have friends who are very jealous, because they have to travel far and wide to see art house films - and we have it right here in the center of Montgomery!! Thank you for having such great taste, owners!! We go to your Hillsborough occasionally, but Montgomery - all the time!!! The popcorn is good, too!!!

I love this theater. Every movie is gold. If its playing here, I know Ill like it. They show independent, foreign, quirky movies (and sometimes really good mainstream movies too). Ive seen so many movies here before they became famous, like Little Miss Sunshine, Sideways, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Its wonderful to have this gem in the area. Its not a fancy theater. Some of the theaters are really small, almost like really large home theaters. Its a little shabby, but once the movie starts, who cares?

The place isnt exactly a palace but I could care less about that as it is the only theater in Central Jersey to show foreign and American independent films. There are however problems sometimes with projection and sound. I go every week as there is always something that I want to see. There are some very good restaurants such as Sahara, The Rocky Hill Inn and Yaos, in the area so dinner and a movie makes a nice night out. I dont eat or drink at movies so I have no comment about the concession stand.

Its a great place to go to see good films and not have to deal with dozens of screaming, out-of-control kids as they typically dont show kids movies or the usual "Hollywood Blockbuster" with cars being blown up, superheroes, science fiction crap, etc... The crowd is mostly middle-aged and older. The place is not dirty, but it also not a state-of-the-art multiplex. Its a older theatre. But I am grateful that it is there and almost always go there when I go out to see a movie.

I adore this theater. The employees are so nice and energetic, and seem to know the movies that are playing. The prices are incredible--I still cant believe how much cheaper this place is than the big theaters. The snacks are really great, too. Is it old? Sure. But thats hardly worth getting upset over. This is the only place in the area that plays this kind of movie, and it does what it does exceptionally well.

They play movies that you sometimes cant see anywhere else in the area. And its convenient, being right in the middle of town around stores and restaurants. But why cant they invest a few dollars to spruce up the place? Its not like no one is going there. So they must be making money. A little work would go a long way to making this place look presentable and welcoming again.

Montgomery Cinemas is the only theater in central NJ providing the intelligent, thoughtful movies, including foreign films and "indie" films. They have done so for years and, with their recent upgrade to digital, offer an even better experience. Montgomery Cinemas has the best of the best and were so grateful to have this theater in our neighborhood.

This is a wonderful theatre with great movies and happy, friendly, and polite employees! I frequent this theatre and I am so glad they provide quality American and foreign films. I give this five stars for movie selections and the popcorn! Great snacks and good prices make this a win-win for us!!! Parking is sooo easy, too!

The movies are EXCELLENT. The theater may not be state of the art but since the selection of movies is the very best in all of Central Jersey, there really is nothing to complain about. Ive also, over the 40 years weve been attending the theater in its current location or up the hill, found the attendants very pleasant.

This is a fine medium sized movie theater. The people working there are very nice. The movie selection is the best! They hold the movies for a few weeks and that gives me a chance to get to the movies to see it. Whoever is choosing the movies is doing a fine job. The theater is a treasure!

Im sitting in the theatre waiting out an audio problem that will be at least 20 minutes and management didnt have the intelligence to offer free popcorn. Just bad customer service. They could have made lemonade out of lemons but they chose to just stick with the lemons

I love independent movies, but this place is not worth the effort. There are frequent projection problems, and dealing with the usual clientele is an adventure in itself. Have you ever asked a stranger to save my seat in a movie theater? Ug. Welcome to Montgomery.

The Montgomery shows excellent independent and foreign movies but they show way too many commercials before the movie. I was there last Saturday (May 25) and the commercials ran about 15 minutes before the previews, which ran about 5 minutes.

One of the few alternatives in the area to the mainstream big-budget theaters, Montgomery Cinemas always has an excellent lineup of independent and foreign films. Parking is easy, the theaters are comfortable, the projection is good quality.
