Great little secret of the town!

Illinois theater has been on our downtown square for many years and is clean with fresh popcorn, soda and candy. They are wheel chair accessible but it would be a good idea to park on the square to get to the smoothest sidewalks. They have tons of movie times available. They will be on the northwest corner of the square. Don't worry if you pass them because there is parking behind the theater.

Tonight was the premier of the movie Halloween. Unfortunately there were several under age kids in the theater who were talking, shouting profanity “f” word, and running up and down the aisles! I have never had this type of experience at a theater. Finally a young movie attendant asked several kids to leave. The manager said her hands were tied since parents came and bought their kids’ tickets and dropped them off. My research shows that for an MPAA “R” rated movie, kids under 17 need to be accompanied by an adult. What a night!!! Plus the movie was horrible! It was gory, boring and not scary or suspenseful. And the “f” word was very overused so it lost its effectiveness. Hated to see it used by so many teens in the movie. Not a good example. Parents be aware!! Jamie Lee Curtis disappoints!

Impressive. I had never seen the lion king, well the new one was great and the food and service was awesome. Cool staff and great vibe.

Mark Holman

the seats where comfortable and recline. It is very affordable when you can get your drink and popcorn for $10.

Lisa Warner

Can't wait to go back! Haven't been to a movie in years. Can't bring myself to pay for price of ticket and food. Illinois Theatre has a great movie deal. Owner came in before the movie and stated that he didn't want to keep us all afternoon so we only had 2 previews. Had a great time for an affordable price.

Hunter Mogg

Non expensive and is cheaper than most places for movies. Would recommend to anyone

Lee G

Like stepping back in time with updated screens. They are not the biggest screens but all the seats are close enough it does not matter. Place is beautiful!

December Bugg

People are super friendly and helpful, their prices are cheap and the quality is tremendous. Definitely going back again.

I always have a great experience.

Linda Schwartz

It was cold, movie was o.k., prices too high for someone living on social security. Guess I'm getting old.

Beth S

Went for the first time since the theater had been sold about a month ago. We loved the value of the "best movie deal" (ticket, drink, and small popcorn for $8) and the service. The manager greeted us in the lobby and introduced the film. Great experience and makes me want to come back soon.

Amanda Cox

$8 movie deal includes popcorn and soda

Dameon Divers

Nice little movie theatre, with "welcoming" staff and great ticket prices.. Found this place whilst visiting from the U.K.

Karla Cannon

Movie and snacks/service was good. I don't like the stairs,however.

Christa Andrews

I loved the overall experience. Very nice workers. Clean enviroment. Good popcorn. And the 8 dollar deal cant be beat. Plus i love that they have sensory days.

juju utter

I went to their pancake show with my little one and it blew me away. All of the employee’s were VERY polite and the prices were mind boggling. 8 bucks for a ticket/movie/popcorn AND pancakes?!? It was a dream. Will go here from now on.

Cheryl Powell

Loved it. Seats were comfortable and it was not crowded so there plenty of elbow room.

Ashley Shawgo

Best movie deal in town!!!

Glen Clatterbuck

Once a single large theater with balcony, this theater now has five smaller screens of various sizes, some on the upper level, and some with stadium seating. There have been upgrades to improve handicap access and better seating options Including recliners. A decent concession stand with fresh popcorn, and prices are tolerable. A traditional/classic setting to see a movie.

Mike Perry

I enjoy watching movies here. A community jewel, in my opinion.

Mayank Lakhlani

Very simplistic, reasonable and enjoyable place to go for. Staff is very genuinely polite and kind. I will definitely give them a visit again.

Simonne Lashmett

Small but mighty!!! Love this place. People are always nice and helpful. And they dress up for star wars

Kevin Klein

Comfortable seats and a good price for first run movies.

Caroline Boris

A really nice small town movie theater. Go for a matinee and you can see current movies for less than it costs for a movie rental at some places. The theater is anyways clean, the staff is airways helpful and the movie selections are always great!

Jose Arce

Bargain prices with very good movies.

Julian Evans

Absolutely love it here.

The price is great and only 5 buck for a soda and popcorn

I really like this old movie theater. It's comfortable thanks to the remodel, and the staff is always friendly.

Jonathan Warren

I went for the first time this weekend and was surprised with that it had stadium seating! I will definitely be coming back.

blumpy79 Ole Gamer

Comfortable seats and reasonably priced considering other theaters overcharge on snacks.

Laci Looker

We will only go to movies at this theater. We wait until this specific one has the movie we want to see. For a family of 4 to get tickets & each have their own popcorn and drink the price comes to around $30!!! You cannot beat that! If we were to go to RMC it would easily cost us $80. The Illinois theater’s new owners are awesome. Everyone is friendly and it’s clean.

Yt Universal_duck

It's great since it's close to town, but all the new movies take a week to even show up. So if I want to watch something new I'd have to go far.

Steven H.

Its an older theater but they keep up modern times with the projectors and seating, and that's what its all about anyways so its a great place!

Corey G

Great place. Service was awsome. And to all the people. ( YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) that leave all the filthy nasty messes after the movie is over are horrible people and I would hate to see the way you live at home. The employees there are to provide you with great service. Not to be your mom!! Please show some respect for other people and dont be so nasty in public.

Audrey Ham

Loved the show

Brenda Friday

Great price good movie's and friendly services

Russ Hymes

Jacksonville, IL is fortunate to have this gem of a theater. Through the years I have seen improvements continue in customer service and renovations to this classic entertainment venue. Bad movies are sometimes inevitable but definitely not a "bad" theater. It you want a movie experience with a touch of nostalgia, Illinois Theatre is definitely an enjoyable choice.

Nancy Harris

What a great place to bring the family. Always a good variety of movies and best part is the price.

Peter Berwyn

Good prices

Dentler Loschen

Great old style theatre to go to. Prices are also good for a movie theatre.
