Relatively good. One thing that stinks is there is no marquee out front by the street stating what movies are playing, they also dont have marquee inside either, nothing stating times or shows playing, but yet, they can have a big advertisement for the alcohol they sell; I guess we know what is more important to them! Also had a bad experience, waiting in line, 3rd one in line, the guy selling tickets takes the man he is helping to a different cash register, 2 cash registers down from where he started, rings his order up there and then just stands there and says "may I help next in line". Instead of coming back to let the people know who are waiting for him to return, that he is not coming back because register is not working he just leaves us standing there, very unprofessional!

had a horrible experience! wanted to see Sex and the City 2..got there 10 minutes late.. bought ticket and drink..expected to miss the beginning of movie.. went into theater and movie was not on..Had to go back and tell the employee and he said he would get it on.. waited over 7 minutes and so called "manager" came in and told me she would not start movie, I missed the time (movie should have been started at 1:05pm) after long discussion I was leaving very disappointed but the kicker was as I was half way out the door the "manager" yelled " Have a nice day" So unproffessional for a manager, I could tell it was very sarcastic..

The good. -$5 movie Tuesday is a solid. -Nicely maintained local theater. -Good staff. -The addition of their beer selection with voodoo was a great touch. The bad. -On rare occasions the movies are nowhere near loud enough. -The biggest complaint I have though, are seats are noticeably aged and need to be replaced. Especially the ones with broken recliners, which are terrible in a packed theater with few options. Both of these things can ruin the effect of the movie experience in my opinion. Side note: The "VIP section" could have waited until after the regular seating renovation.

Expensive, but convenient. Much better experience at Cinemark Tinseltown in Erie with slightly cheaper tickets and better seats, but that doesnt stop us from visiting The Movies At Meadville from time to time. The worst part is their loyalty program. Originally they could look you up by phone number if you forgot your card. After they redid the system a while back, if you forget your physical card there is no way to look your rewards up and consequently all points for the transaction are lost. Overall, nice theater, just a little problem here or there.

Stay away from this place. Tinstletown in Erie is a lot less expensive. I have been try to use a pass for 2 years. The pass explicitly states not good on weekends of first week of movie. So we go on a Monday and they still do not honor it. That pass is a contract for 1 admittance that has been paid for.I do not care what your new passes say. This place was mostly empty and now they lost 2 more customers. I could use this pass on week night of the 2nd week movie is there. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing if a movie makes it to the 2nd week.

They say they have to have id and my daughter had hers and they still said no!!! They need to put on door so all parents and kids can see this. And an accurate on what kids can see on the website!

The guy saying there is no marquee is just flat out wrong. There is a 40" TV in the front window and a giant dry erase board, both have the times on them. Then you walk through the door and there is ANOTHER TV with movies and times, and there are printed out papers on the counter with showtimes and movies.

Absolute best theater in the area. The screen is big enough to get a good view in the back, the chairs are comfortable, and the popcorn is great. I drive an hour and a half to come here because the theaters closer to me cannot compare.

A lot of the stuff in the arcade is broken, but aside from that, I love going here. Pretty clean (all things considered) and the overall atmosphere with the movie posters and fish tank makes for a cool place to hang out.

Price seems to keep going up. Its $30 for my family of 3 to see a movie without snacks. Id rather wait a few weeks and go to the bargain theater or rent than pay the current prices.

A great local theater with a small bar for those of us who like to have an adult beverage while we watch a movie. They also have a birthday party room, which is pretty cool.

Large, spacious, comfortable theater featuring at least 9 individual theaters and the latest movies at reasonable ticket prices. Highly recommended!

From out of town, price was less than half of ours back home. Not real lmax but still good quality. Seats were great. Would definitely go again.

Best movie theater around. You can find a great price for matinees, but even weekend nights are reasonable for a date night.

Great experience! Some of the seats were broken and leaned back too far but otherwise a great independent movie theater.

Food prices high, much like any theatre. But the seats are comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the bathrooms clean.
