Reviews of Pell City PREMIERE LUX Cine, Bowl & Pizza Pub (Movie Theater)

Rachelle Painter

It is so nice to have a theater close to home, with a bowling alley and game room. The service was great. I wish they would deliver the food ordered straight to your chair, but baby steps, right now when your pager goes off you have to meet the server at the door to the theater room you are in. Popcorn and drinks were great. Best thing about popcorn is that you can put some popcorn in, and then some butter, then more popcorn, then butter...you get the idea! The pizza was only so so. I am not there for food anyway, just did it this time since it was the first. The seats are AMAZING!! I love me a red recliner! Overall, on the movie end, I give them 4 stars. Still a few bugs, but will update later!

Before I begin I should say that I have visited this theater many times since it’s opening and my family and I have enjoyed every experience until tonight. I am not ashamed to say that I was just trying to watch Endgame for the 5th time, but just as the movie came on tonight I could tell it was too dark....I know everything is digital now and I do not know if they still change “bulbs” or how it’s fixed?? It’s been almost 30 years since I worked a projector at a movie theater, but I know that the movie was so dark it was hard to see color and this caused some scenes of the movie to be unwatchable. What has changed in 30 years is customer service. I was the third person in my group to walk out of the theater and let them know there was a problem. Several other people had gone out (including 2 other people in my group) in the first 15min of the movie which is unusual. When I went out and spoke to the usher, he told me that he had several complaints. I asked for a manager and when “Colin” came out he said that they had had not received any complaints. He then followed me back into the theater and proclaimed that “it looked fine to him” and he didn’t see a problem. He did not offer to move us, offer a refund, or offer a solution to the problem. He said he didn’t think anything was wrong or it “might” be a little dark, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He also said it had been running all day without a problem. I didn’t even get a “sorry”. I got “you can have a refund if you leave”, no mention of the $53 spent at the concession stand!! I am not one to complain and understand that I am dealing with kids, but I really expected better from a new theater that we are giving so much business to!! Everyone in that movie would have appreciated a short break for them to correct the problem. I will reaching out to the grownups over the theater on Monday to further discuss!! I do understand that problems arise, but it’s the way it was handled that is the biggest issue!! To add to this when my 20 year old daughter went out the second time to speak to them again about the issue not be corrected, the manager ( who was about her age, but 3x her size) refused to speak to her without the police officer. He called the office over with him like he was afraid!! That is ridiculous.

Movies done right! We have been doing movies wrong for so many years... Here, you get your own recliner, lots of legroom, and you don't get robbed at the concession counter. A great experience!

This place is awesome. From the comfy recliners to the charging ports in their arms, we loved it. There are trays attached to the recliners to place food and drink on that you can move around. If you order food from the restaurant during the movie they give you a pager and it lights up and vibrates when it's ready to pick up so you dont miss the movie waiting on food. They provided plates for our pizza we ordered. No lines to refill drinks or popcorn and their concessions are priced similarly to most theaters. The arcade is just a small, typical theater arcade, but then there's the rope walk that goes above the arcade, which is right beside the bowling alley. You can order tickets and pick your seats online or they also have computers as soon as you walk in. Staff was friendly and polite.

Brandy Wickliffe

Good prices on tickets. I work for someone in a wheel chair that loves to go to the movies, they do not offer a free ticket for me to get her in there to watch her movie. Trussvile does. Other than that, always clean. The kitchen got my order wrong twice this day but that happens.

There's an awesome new Hologram arcade machine. They said it's the first one to be built in America. So futuristic! It was really fun and different.

Tagan Poe

My daughter loves having her date night with mommy/daddy here!

Dustin Bick

Very different from a traditional movie theater! Having reclining seats and the option to have your food and drinks delivered to the theater your in is awesome!

Edward Hall

Such an awesome place to bring the kids or just to hang out with the wife. Not super expensive but worth every dime you spend. Definitely planning another trip soon!

Philip Smith

By far the best theater in our area. Game room and lobby area offer a lot of options to turn a movie into a full afternoon. I recommend giving it a try.

Robi Davenport

The place was AMAZING, except the $12 large pizza was the size of a normal small pizza from any pizza place. Will return but will eat somewhere else before I go.

Melody Overton

My husband and I took our 3 kids to watch a movie this past Tuesday. We all got in free due to the kids summer days. We purchased drinks and popcorn and really enjoyed the large reclining chairs and snack tables. We also let the kids bowl and enjoy the arcade. I can't say enough good about this place we love it and will continue to go back.

Jana Jones

This was beyond the best experience. We bowled, played in the arcade, and even watched a movie. The reclining seats were so nice that I didn't want to get up. My popcorn and drink we're delicious. I have no complaints from this trip. I would recommend as a must see location.

Kevin Anderson

Neat place!! Recliner style seating in theaters. Concession prices not bad at all compared to most. Kids loved the arcade and ropes course. We didn't bowl, but looked like those who were bowling were having tons of fun.

LaWanda Embry

Met my sisters and aunt here for a August/September birthday outing. Saw Lion King while sipping a cocktail, and wine in our recliners. Reserved seating, so no rush for your favorite viewing spot. Aunt loved the endless popcorn, popcorn is her favorite thing!

Tara Davis89

Wonderful experience! Went to see the new Lion King movie, the seats were amazing! The most comfortable theatre chairs I've ever sat in. The popcorn, nachos and drink line up was self make and I absolutely loved it. It'd a genius new way of doing things to make it easier on employees and customers. I would definitely recommend everyone to go visit this place. You won't be disappointed

Stacie Honaker

We took a group of kids to bowl and play in the arcade. After spending an hour on bowling and all 7 kids spending at least $20 a piece in the arcade, we were sitting around the bowling area taking pictures. (Only one lane on the other side was bowling). Management (Bobby) was very rude to us. Kids were not even being loud, he made it clear to us that we were not welcomed.

Geoffrey Eggleton

No games here are in your favor. Low ticket payouts and forget the claw machines. I know they’re all rigged but these things couldn’t grip a flea. Don’t waste your money in this arcade. You’ll have better luck at oak mountain lanes in Pelham which is much more fun and will be great. Fix your games and I’ll fix my rating.

Shelley Roman

My movie theater experience was not the best. The guy who we bought the tickets from was rude and very unpleasant. The tickets were pricey and yes the seats are nice but inside the theater was extremely cold. I heard multiple complaints of people saying how freezing it was. I prefer other theaters over this one.

Tech Guy

The seats are amazing and the entire theater is unlike any other theater, at least that I have been to in the Birmingham and surrounding areas. As other reviewers have stated, I thought the sound system either was turned down too much or needs to be upgraded. But overall, a great addition to our community!

colton brookhyser

Awesome place to watch a movie!! Always go here now instead of Am Star in oxford!! They bring u food to your theater..they also have reclining seats!!!

Jacob Wells

Busy place on Saturday nights but I would expect nothing less for a single building housing movie theatres, a bowling alley and a arcade. Great reclining theatre seating and the popcorn and drinks are self serve. My new favorite theatre in the locale.

Precious Lewis

Fantastic! I never use the arcade or bowling but I'm sure it would be great for kids and groups of friends. I love the full menu of food available ticket purchase. It's a popcorn lover's dream, free refills! They have a full bar with beer, wine, vodka, and mixed drinks. The theater is super spacious, no more squeezing by ppl to get to your seat. The reclining seats with tables for your food is the cherry on top.

Jolene Taylor

I loved it haven't been to a movie in 30 years and had a great time

Woeful Zeus

LOVE this place! Me and the family go for special occasions. Full bar, well stocked arcade, very nice bowling alley, good pizza, and the movie theater is top notch. There really is something for the whole family here or also good if you just want to grab a beer with the guys and knock down a few pins.

Chad Pitts

It's actually a pretty nice place with different things to do there. I haven't been to the theatre part yet but will eventually. I went bowling and it's not a huge area but they have nice lanes and the only reason I put 3* was because they wouldn't let my 7 year old daughter use the bumpers because she was too old. The lightest ball they had was a 7lb and she just couldn't sling it well at all. They said their policy is 5 and under only with the bumper lanes so I won't be taking my daughter back until she's not enough to throw that ball or we find her a smaller one. If you don't have that she child it is a great place to go.

Jeff Daugherty

Theater is clean. Staff is attentive. Theater seats are awesome and assigned seating is great. Even though we didn't enjoy the movie we chose, we enjoyed our visit. We did not order food so I cannot rate it. We did not bowl either, but the lanes looked fun.

Andrea Ray

Very nice. I wish it were closer. It is about a 45 minute drive, each way, for us but it is so much nicer than the theater in Trussville...and they have better price options. So, we will make the drive from now on.

Julia Jackson

Amazing seats! They are very comfortable and you can reserve them online, when the website works. I did have a problem with that aspect but the environment made up for it.

Shawn Aric Haywood

Really nice set up. Very friendly staff. Only dealt with movies. Recliners were boss! Kind of wished I hadn't already eaten so as to try the pizza.

Brent Payne

Wow, best movie experience in the state. Easy parking, quick service (quicker if you get tickets online and pick your seats ahead of time), reclining seats, .... Awesome.

Mark Lusk

Best thing since the comfort of the drive in. This is actually an idea I had years ago but never followed up on. So they owe me some money. Having said that. Love the reclining seats and tray table for drinks and food. I actually ate chili cheese nachos in the dark without wearing any of it. They also give you a buzzer like your at Olive Garden or something and activate it when they bring your food to the theater door. You just walk to the door and get it, Bon Appétit! Great and fun concept. The kids love it and have a blast. My wife likes the fact that she can store her purse and other gear on my tray while she uses hers too eat. Guess I need to lose some weight anyways. Luckily the arm rest have cup holders.

Maria Hayes

This is a really nice theater. Seats are very comfortable, even heated! I love how the popcorn is dispensed making it super easy to get the whole bucket buttered and not just the top pieces. I don't like the reserved seating though. Makes it a little challenging to go with friends unless you buy all togther and I want to pick who I sit next to in a movie.

James Poe

Friendly staff. A little pricey but typical for this sort of entertainment. There are some pretty good deals depending on the night and time frame. All-in-all a good place to do something different.

Marianne C

Best theater ever. The bowling alley is affordable, new, clean, and well designed. There are plenty of arcade games. I love the reclining seats. The only thing is that drinks and food are overpriced. One dasani water is almost $6 after tax. I will still give them 5/5 because all movie theatre food is overpriced, so I can't discredit their other qualities

W S

Awesome game room and lots of things to do for kids. We are at the lake for the weekend and since it was raining we needed something to do to keep the kids busy and this was it! Awesome place and we will for sure be back next time were at the lake.

Brandy Musick

Perfect Family Fun Night! Buy your tickets well in advance for new releases for best seat selection. Our kids are 9- 21 and everyone had a great time. It's a little chilly so be prepared.

M.&J Diaz

Clean and friendly. My 4 year old grandson loves playing the arcade games. Husband and I enjoy bowling and watching movies.

Klattu

Car show today. Very hot. No drinks or anything for attending. About 15 cars. Hopefully they will do better in future. Maybe 1st Sunday each month, to follow 1st Friday in Gadsden.

Led 972

It was awesome. My only complaint is they need to upgrade the sound system. Gadsden premier cinema has much better theatre sound. Love the recliner seats, the bowling and the fact you can take a beer or cocktail into the movie.

Stephanie Smith

Really nice movie theater! I would love to do some of the other stuff here, its really cool. Bravo Pell City!

J. Parker.

Great concept!! clean friendly help.Officers were present the movie theatre Outstanding Please go.O and 12 lane bowling plus game room too!!

Preston Holloway

OMG this is how you watch a movie! This place is amazing with reclining lazy boy seats!! Perfect for taking a nap while your children eat popcorn and drink free refills of endless soda so that they can talk non stop on the way home while you are trying to gather your thoughts and emotions because of the endless struggle bus that is your life. The entire place was so clean you could eat off of the floor! Bring a pillow five stars.

Crystal Cochran

Great experience.. Love the design of the layout. Free refill on popcorn and drinks any size. Great deal. Also, watch out the seats are so comfortable, you will take a nap and love it.... The price is competitive with other movie theaters. Well worth the experience you're going to have

Brigette Bridges

We went here for bowling and the arcade. We didn't see a movie this trip. They have a lounge with specialty drinks they have come up with apparently. What food they have is extremely over priced. The only good thing id's free refills inn soft drinks and popcorn which are self serve.

Autumn Blankenship

It's REALLY fun and just an awesome place for date night or just a fun night out with the family!

Deven O’Day

I really like this theater. The price is reasonable and there's something for everyone. Although I do like the reclining seats, they're not super comfortable. They also make a lot of noise when they recline so it's distracting during the movie. Overall, I enjoyed my time and the theater!

Tracy Farley

They get one star because even though the place is nice, people make or break you. The MOD Colin on 10/12/19 at 9:11pm is a POS and should probably rethink his career if he can’t provide basic customer service.
