Its always a great experience at Tinseltown. The staff are really helpful in finding the right movie each visit my daughter and I make. My complaint is that every child wants popcorn and a drink with a movie, right? Tinseltown does a 4-5× mark up on prices of refreshments. For my family, we go when we have it in our budget to go. I dont like having to explain to my daughter she is not allowed popcorn and drink with her movie because it costs $12-20 for one drink and popcorn. They also took away free refills of large orders of those. I think Tinseltown does well enough that each child could be given, yes given a small popcorn and small drink on the house so that no child feels like they are not getting the full experience of a movie and popcorn. Last time I went with my daughter, it me around $50 after she played 2-3 games and got her treats, over $20 of that went to a lrg popcorn and drink in which I was told AFTERWARDS, they didnt give refills anymore. I just dont understand with such good competition below in Bristol TN and up in Abingdon VA, why does Tinseltown not offer these refreshments at better prices. The time before last we went, she wanted to take her water in and was told no. I went to buy one for her and a simple bottle of water was almost $5 and I told her no she couldnt get it. Its hard to explain to a child why they cant have something so simple, especially when they see other kids parents buying whatever their children ask for. It saddens her, why is it that my daughter has to be all sad about something so simple? I dont know, all I can say is she is a child and its hard to explain some things to children.

For the Tri-Cities, this is my theater of choice. For the price of your ticket and concessions, they provide the best picture and sound and the most comfortable and clean theaters. The drive from Johnson City is worth it when compared to the truly deplorable Carmike 14 cinema. UPDATE: Years later, and even with the addition of the new theater at the Pinnacle, this joint is still my favorite theater. Sure, it doesnt have all the bells and whistles of Pinnacle 12, but its reasonably priced, well-staffed by cordial folks, and great picture and sound. Sometimes, for certain films, I would go to the Pinnacle 12. I paid $75 (tickets and concessions) to take my family to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the Pinnacle. That was a mistake. The 3D projector broke but the staff didnt let anyone know until 30 minutes after showtime. And this was on opening weekend! So then all 100+ people had to stand in line for refunds (tickets only, I had to eat the concession prices). Another 30 minutes later, I had my refund and went to Tinseltown and watched the film (in 3D also) for less than half the price I paid to be pissed off at the Pinnacle.

While this theater doesnt have all the bells and whistles of the new ones they are the best in my opinion. They have priced movies more affordable then all the others. The seats and theaters are in good shape and clean. Sound quality is pretty amazing. The yearly refillable popcorn and drink are a must for avid movie watchers. My wife and I are here at least 2 times a month and sometimes more. This is actually farther from our home but I would rather drive the extra 15 minutes because I like the theater that much more. Also for the gluten sensitive folks the popcorn without adding butter is safe to eat.

Be warned: The person selling the tickets will tell you its OK for someone under seventeen to see an R rated movie as long as they are accompanied by someone over 21. However, the person tearing the tickets will not let anyone under 17 through to see an said R rated movie and they DO NOT give refunds. TL;DR: Tinseltown is perfectly fine with taking your money and then not giving what you paid for.

I always enjoy going to Tinseltown. It is clean, modern feeling, and has great sound. I dont usually buy concessions so that isnt a consideration in my rating. I understand others comments because getting movie snacks can make it an expensive family outing, but most movie theaters are expensive when it comes to their food/drink selections these days.

Second best movie theater in the Tri-cities after the Marquee Pinnacle 12. This used to be my go to theater in the area, and they offer special events (met opera, Dr Who special events, Star Trek special events, etc). Tickets and concessions are reasonable. They were doing renovations to the lobby and other areas the last time I visited.

Worst experience Ive ever had; I ordered online tickets for Deadpool and nothing was said about having my ID on me. My friend who was driving had theres though. When we got there they asked for our IDs and after finding out I didnt have mine they turned us down and had us escorted out! My tickets couldnt even be refunded either!

A consistently amazing staff, super clean bathrooms and theaters, and great concessions. Theres nothing I hate worse than a sticky theater floor, and the floors here are never sticky. Considering that Im here around 4 times a month, I feel like Id know. Keep up the good work, Tinseltown.

This movie theater is very very premium. It is also very fresh. They use the best of scents to make your nostrils very happy. This is a very amazingly good fresh experience. If youre lucky there might even be left over popcorn on the floor to have as a snack. I enjoy this very much.

pricey but cheaper than kingsport ticket wise. if u go to their website they have weekly coupons that are really nice like free medium drink with any size popcorn. and if u upgrade to a large its like 25-50 cents! so 6 ish dollars for large popcorn and large drink...i think so!

In my humble opinion this is the best movie theatre in the local, Tri Cities area (or at least Kingsport/Bristol). I know the theatre at the Pinnacle is pretty nice, but their ticket prices are higher. This theatre gets you the most bang for your buck.

The only thing I hate about this place is how far I have to drive to get there. Prices are super affordable ($4 matinee tickets, $6 regular). Theatres and bathrooms are typically clean. Screens are pretty big and usually not too crowded.

Awesome theater with very affordable price of admission. Friendly staff, clean. . Ive gone there almost every week since October of 2016 when I moved here from another state. Nothing at all bad to say about this theater.

Great space, great customer service, horrible prices for food but thats nothing new for a movie theater. The tickets are very reasonably priced, and the experience is a great.

Love the afternoon week days. Sometimes, just two of us in theater. Popcorn is great. The only complaint is the popcorn and other snacks cost way more than they should.
