REVIEWS OF Cinemark Movies 12 IN Iowa

Shelly Jones

Could use an upgrade, but love how cheap the tickets are. :)

alma perez

1st of all let me say that this theater needs a lot of remodeling. The seats are so old, I see heads imprinted in the seats. I felt as if mites were crawling on me from the carpet. 2nd my surround system in my room sounds louder then the theater. I could here every person whisper as if they had a blow horn. I'm glad I don't live near this movie theater. I only went bcus my daughter invited us for my grandson bday....but never again. 3rd I would rather spend the extra $9 to go to a nice movie theater and sit on captain seats, comfortable and relaxed.

Rusty Shackleford

low end movie theater, but it's fairly clean, all the snacks you'd expect...just wish they would demolish the rest of the mall around it and make the theater better. it is their main source of income so you'd imagine they'd invest in what matters.

Cindy Mutchler

Love coming here...just out movies at great prices

Rebecca Swihart

Great place to go for a movie. Prices are high for food and drinks, tickets are fairly cheap though.

Chelsea Blair

I frequent this theater because they have $5 tickets. The price MIGHT creep up closer to 6 on a weekend night but if you catch a matinee or early bird the price drops to $4. There's nothing fancy about the theater, it's your standard spot and it's in the abandoned TX City mall. But they play all the current movies so you can go see whatever summer flicks you want without breaking the bank. If you live in Galveston County, especially TX City or LaMarque this makes a good hang out spot.

David Bubba Strong

Good prices. Ghetto, hulled out seats with numerous stains all over them. Had to decide between not wanting to sit down at all and the better of two evils. Loud obnoxious unprofessional employees. Really sticky floors.

Dylan Cox

It's definitely not the most fancy or updated theater around, but the ticket prices are way better here. So if you're like me and just need a comfy chair and a big screen then this place is good for you to save some serious money at the box office.

Alex Torres

A decent place and good price to watch a movie.

Catherine Ingrasin

I waited months to go see this movie with all my cousins we had 10 people total in our group. When the movie first started it was so low you could barely hear what they were saying and on top of that there was a group of teenagers that were talking which made it worse. Then the whole movie the same teenagers kept running in and out of the theater. The officer and an usher came in there twice and talked to them but after the officer left they still kept running in and out so there were several scenes we missed or couldn't hear because they kept going in front of us and were talking during the movie. Now I will have to wait till it comes out on DVD to see the whole thing. When I called and spoke with the manager all he said was they were having issues with the projectors and an usher was supposed to be monitoring it. Evidently they were not. He said they will have someone monitor more often.

james foster

Great Staff, Clean, Well Organized. Had a great time!!!

LS Kyle

Seriously, going to see the newest movie at a fraction of the cost. Customer service could be better. This place definitely needs a good cleaning. However, the kids don’t mind and nor does my grandma. Family or friends night out on a budget.. there’s a pool hall in the same center and bar..

Geary Long

Good prices on movies! Really good! very aged theatre though

Ruth Galindo

Movie was great ..although popcorn tasted funny and so cold

linda Odusoga

Nice place for the price. Wish the food was cheaper

Ron COLLINS

Love it.

Donald Johnson

Good place to take the kids and pricing is fair. Not a high end theater just a good place to watch a movie.

David Carlisle

I love this Cinema. Easy parking and incredibly cheap tickets. Why so cheap, the mall is practically abandoned and the theaters aren't as spacious as the new ones. They're not small like the ones in the 70's but they aren't the grandiose modern style you'll find today. We bought 3 tickets to "Deadpool 2" for less than $20. There was one older lady who took a phone call during the movie but she quick enough about it.

Lillian Lopez

Loved te seating. Need to get tickets in advanve if more then 3 ppl. Food costly. Great movie selections.

Olga Alcocer-Solano

Place could use some remodeling, better seats.

Daniel Williamson

Couldn't beat a 3 dollar movie. Say the movie upside! Everything was good , no complaints. Food and drink prices was average as usual

Dustin Armstrong

My kids and I love coming here.

Sarah Mains

I ain't to say it is clean or fancy but the prices are good and parking is good.

Universal 82

Good movie theatre for a cheap movie. Seats are ok but not fancy the sound system of the theatre is dated but works.

Karen Elrod

Dont like how they set you

Desi playz

If I could give a 0, I would. Rude staff, soda that tastes like water, and expensive food, unbelievable people even come to this place. Never would come back to this location in my life. I really hope they read this and understand what needs to be fixed. We came late another movie in the past, we were willing to pay double when only 10 minutes late. They don’t know how to run a proper business.

J. S. Richards

This is an old theater in a nearly shuttered shopping mall. The tickets are in expensive however, cheaper than any other first-run theater around. Adult weekend film ticket is $5.25. You can't beat that. Popcorn is fresh. Cokes are good. What more can you want from a theater for the price?

Elliott Johnson

I highly recommend the pizza, out of this world! If your of age Cinemark has adult beverages........A+++++++++++++

Greg Corcoran Jr

It's a movie theater, concessions will always have a wait during prime time, show up 15 mins early or more for concessions and finding a seat while the lights are still on, but average movie theater has 15 mins of preshow presentation

Ken Swain

Theater was fine no handycap doors to get in building

Candice Kane

It is an inexpensive place to watch newly released movies

Cameron Jackson

The seats aren't the best, but the price absolutely can't be beat in the area. The staff are friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms.

Moriah Torres

You get what you pay for LOL that's all I can really say.

Azure Draws

Staff is friendly and professional, theaters are relatively clean and tickets are cheap. I wish popcorn and drinks were less expensive, but that comes hand-in-hand with movie theaters in general. Overall a good place, especially for movie night with the family.

Ercie Moeini

Always enjoy a great movie that is presently showing at major theatres and not having to pay ridiculous prices! Friendly staff. Clean seating and bathrooms!!

Patsy Grand

The popcorn is always stale and the seats are very sticky it’s never really a good experience

Marquise Edwards

Kinda deserted, but all was good

Matteson Williams

theatre was ridiculously hot & smelled like cat pee. def not recommend

Jesse Courtney

This theater is pretty good the matinee price is always amazing though the concessions are a little steep. The actual theater rooms are always cleaned properly though the seating itself could probably be replaced as they are rather aged. The picture quality is great though and I've never had a bad experience. Staff is courteous and helpful, overall it's a nice experience every time.

JC

Went to see Pets 2 today, theater clean and cool, compared to heat outside this was a nice feeling.. have been to this theater many times and it has been extremely over hot or extremely cold but never just right like today..

Donnell Garcia

They don't take care of this place. Pretty dirty and always popcorn all over the ground. We haven't been there in years

Jason Stamper

A great price for new movies.

Dylan Schmidt

The price is awesome but it definitely need to be renovated and cleaned up.

dam dot

I used to work at this theater when I wad in high school since 30 years ago. Great ticket prices for the age of the theater.

Julie Monarez

Great matinee prices. Sometimes the bathrooms could be cleaner.

R. M.

Not too bad I always watch the first showing a family of four can watch a movie with 2popcorns 2 sodas for about $30.00 that's not bad

Curt

Extremely slow service at concession stands. Rude people in ticket booths. Filthy bathrooms with broken toilets, sink fixtures loose and broken. Paper towel dispensers broken. Broken seats in theaters. Very poorly managed facility. Not worth shopping in here. Rather drive a few miles up the road to a clean well managed facility. This place should be a dollar theater at best.

Chris Wedemeyer

I like that cinemark has theatres where you can watch a new movie at an old school price. This theatre is not as big and up to date as some of the others, but they have the original faire that many of us grew up with...

jennie saxon

Price's are good and they always have a variety of concessions. The theaters are usually clean, but this time the floors were slippery.

Todd Reed

I've been going to this theater for years. I love the staff and all of the recent updates!

Holly Nagel

Great theater

Mel mariner

movie and popcorn were good despite some old people sitting in our spots

dalton cribbs

madddddd chill brother

Jessie Liebenguth

Cinemark is the only show in town for movies, but recent renovations have made for a much nicer experience. Seats are new and comfortable! Movies 12 shows all the standard movies, not many independent or "art-house" movies. Cheaper on Tuesdays, but doesn't replace the loss of the dollar theater a few years ago.

Jason Kramer

Afternoon movies are the way to go!

ray lumley

Wish the had a 4D screen here if they did it would be 5/5....

JC McClain

comfy chairs, good staff. Snacks are a little expensive, but what else can you expect from a movie theater.

Anasia

I'm a frequent flyer. Love the movies. This theater has reclinable seats and a variety of different concessions.

Casey Griffin

Very clean, staff is friendly. Seats are nice and spacious and comfortable. Concession prices are what youd expect at a theater. Matinee prices are nice

Brandon Tharp

It's 4/19 and they are still currently renovating the snacks area. They do have a back up one in between the theaters. Must reserve seats with ticket order. Seats are comfortable and have motorized recline. Arms do go up on either side. Not much of a slope for seats.

Della Rivera-Casanova

Prices higher than I was use to back at home. But the new luxury loungers are really nice and have changed my movie theater experience

jesus dominguez

It's a decent movie theater

V MC

Watched Infinity war here great place

Stephen Maixner

Reclining heated seats... Friendly service.

Krystal Christensen

Nice movie theatre, ridiculous prices.

Schweitz

Very comfortable chairs and they also have alcoholic beverages

Michael Cravens

Great. Clean. Quiet Great theater.

Bonni Meis

Always good.

Emma Ziemer

This place is way too expensive. Their large popcorn is about $7-$8 and no drink are less than $5. Unless you plan on spending about $25, I wouldn’t plan on going here.

Rodri Gueva

The best I hope to he soon

Katie Titus

It has been several years since we have been to this theater and were pleasantly surprised to find they now have the lounging chairs! The theater was clean with plenty of options for snacks. The variety of times available for each movie worked out great for us! Will definitely be back!

Daniel Flippo

$5 Tuesday is a great deal for this theater!!! A decent snack bar, beer for the adults, heated recliners for seating, clean bathrooms and good service from the staff. All in- a great experience!!! I did a double feature. Two movies, a large refillable drink and candy- about $20 with the Tuesday deal. BUT- I will gladly come during regular priced movies. Definitely worth it.....

Gene Hubbard

First time we been to the movies sense the new seats , and their very comfortable. Now just needs adults drinks and we'd go more often

Chad Huddleston

Love this place

Benjamin Humpal-Pash

Has to wait 7 minutes to get tickets no one was at register but this has only happened once otherwise, really great

Angela Anderson

Services great reclining seats are wonderful. My only suggestion is they put a heat Source in the neck section of the loungers LOL... It would have helped my arthritis.

Andrew Denner

Very nice recliners with heated seats. Otherwise it is your standard movie theater. Either pay before going inside or you can also skip the line by using the kiosk inside.

Andrew Doss

Very nice since the remodel - they now have the reclining seats with plenty of space. Good price if going to a matinee.

Muhammad Shahid

Comfortable sitting. Tuesday package is as less as 5 bucks Normally one ticket costs more than 8 bucks

Jason Mickelson

Movie experience was good. Bit of trouble getting help before the show.

Dennis Platt

Great place to go to watch movies, has been updated and has recliners. It has also been awhile since I've been there. Friendly staff

Erik Hoveland

The wait in line for snacks was awful. "cinemark policy" that I had to take my receipt. Even though cashier had to Walk 20 yards to the only printer. Movie I was seeing required to purchase tickets ahead of time. No problem. Makes sense. But then I am required also to pay the online "convenience fee". Come on. Seating was nice and comfortable.

Thomas Rodamer

Great movie theater! i always go on Tuesday's on $5 movie night. Its perfect. I get off work at 6 and go almost every week. Since the dollar theater shut down this is the best deal around.

Eric Daniels

Our tickets were bought by friends. We didn't get concessions. We enjoyed the reclining seats. The theater was clean.

Lori Erickson

This was my favorite theatre when I lived on the Ames area. Always great staff and the best popcorn! !!

Steven Sheets

The chairs are so comfortable and have a heating system and can recline nicee

Franklin Johnson

Visited from out of town while on RAGBRAI. Nice little theater, good seats except the leg portion of the recliner doesn't extend all the way up.

Kalie Skifstad

Movie was good but seats were a bit uncomfortable and the floors were very dirty. Also smelled like urine

Kruger Family Fun!

Very comfortable and roomy seats! Huge screen! Concessions are very expensive though! $13.95 for three small drinks!

#leon#TM sylvester

How did you get my email xD eny ways i liked this cenema it's my third time coming to it and i love it

Judge Clemons

Kids always love the movie experience...

Mamie Larry

Movie wqas great

David Gilder

For the price, the best theater in town!

jeremiah ware

Me and the wife took two of our daughters and one of our sons to see wreck it Ralph and everything was good except that the guy be hi d the concession stand did not want to be there. Really bad slow service.

Luke Aiuppa

Very out dated. The seating is 15 years old, uncomfortable and disgusting

Cheri Wood

Great theater. Cannot beat the prices ANYWHERE!!! Seats are comfortable and they are good at cleaning each auditorium in between seatings. Staff is friendly. Nice assortment of snacks as well. It is almost the only theater we go to.

G Cadogan

There was a constant crackle from the rear speakers. The bathrooms were very run down. No one was available at the snack bar.

Sebastian Martin

Hands down the best bang for your buck. 4-6 Bucks for the basic movie package. If you are a simple person who wants to just watch a movie comfortably, this is a good place. The up keep isn't the best at all, but the youngsters do a decent job. The front booth can be a bit slow, regardless. This place is top tier.

Michelle Dorsey

Was clean enough but the times online gave for the 3d showings were wrong. Neither listed were 3d and when I bought the 5pm tickets I was 15 minutes early and movie was all ready on. I missed the first 15 min or so. Very disruptive people in the theater which isn't the theater's fault but over all made for a bad experience and first impression. Won't go back.

Christian Paez

There will be occasional long lines every now & then, but not often.

Maqx S.B.

Always good seating because it's out of the way

jesse` ruiz

Nice...Pretty cheap prices compared to the valley

Darla Hankins

Great place to go watch new releases

Mario Mcdonald

This cinemark is nasty. Seen roaches in popcorn. Popcorn gets burnt quite often cuz oil machine is not maintained. Some staff are rude. I used to get courtesy cups of water or soda now all of a sudden its not allowed unless paying customer. Not only am I employed at Mall of Mainland I often purchase merchandise and tickets. Popcorn always on floor. Floor is always sticky. Someone said rat ran across they foot. Bees were inside theater for week straight.

Frank Benvenuto

This is a great discount theater. We have been coming here for years. The movie quality and the movie sound is great. The people working here are friendly and helpful. The popcorn and food is always fresh and a must-have when watching a feature presentation. Finally, the ticket prices are very reasonable. We will be back. We always come back.

Stacy Welch

Friendly staff. Clean. Large seats. Good matinee prices.

Chris Dupla

Back in the day this theater was the place to go as I was one of the only theaters in the area to have THX sound. Sadly, it's tired and worn out.. It needs to be either refurbed to at least be something of a movie theater or just shut it down. I think I saw the graffiti on the wall from when I went there in 91! how don't care cheap it is, having a neck cramp from the the same purple chairs isn't worth the cost!

Artic Gamer

Seats are ruff besides that its good

lubary

Very good to watch a movie texas city la marque

Missjas

I like cause i live near there and because um

Killer death Zi

They have nice employees

Jovan Joiner

The seats are small but they have great prices

Brian Moran

Love going to this theater. Its definitely worth a bargain matinee. I certainly wouldn't call this a spot to take a date but for 6 kids it's a great outing.

no mo

Great place to watch movies but big

Angelina Pike

As a struggling business it was decent. Still needed cleaned. Now that sections of the mall are being rebuilt more business is coming in. It may not be cheap but how about hiring a service to clean the seats? Steam clean maybe, just to get the gunk out.

Crimson Ronin

An amazing experience for a good price. You can tell the staff care alot and are doing their best with what they have

Joshua Ruschenberg

Best deal you are going to find. Is it old? Yeah. Does it smell? Yeah. But that's what living in Texas City is all about. So drop whatever you are stealing from Walmart and come watch a movie.

Alera Welch

Good price for tickets. If only I could say the same for snacks

Sauce Jay

Best staff and ticket prices are well

Ahmed Ismail

Nice cinema

tammy stewart

Cheap seats but messy mess. Popcorn spilled and walked all over in the lobby. Good movies and good prices

Monique Hrachovina

The drinks, the food, the atmosphere, the seats, the cleanliness,,, EVERYTHING was just Amazing! Pricey but worth it.

Jonny Hernandez

Its a good place and it has good custumer services

Justin Newkirk

Great ticket price if you are on a fixed budget. For two people its $10 or less. The concession is over priced a good amount. But its a decent low priced place to go for a relaxed night.

Sonia H

Prices are Awesome! Floors can be Cleaner. If you wear flip flops

Keith Johnson

Ticket prices are priced reasonably well, took the whole family and had a blast.

Angel Medina

It's good for the price.

Carol and Gifford Chaney

Volume is always a bit too high

Montana Ramirez

Affordable and family friendly! Staff is friendly and professional! No fancy, oversized seating- but if you're just wanting a movie with popcorn, snacks and drinks at an affordable price, then this is your place! As an added unexpected bonus, there's a restaurant/pub just a few steps away if you choose to arrive early and have dinner and an adult beverage or two before your movie starts!

Sharon Goble

Prices are too high and the floors were not cleaned from the night before. I was there for the first batonnet of the day and there was popcorn on the floor by my seat. The smallest popcorn they had still cost 550

Italo Sena

Nice theater and good price.

Nicholas Lambrecht

Movies, snacks, and alcohol are all cheaper at North Grand Cinema in the mall. The seats here have a heat option which is nice, but i think the seats are more comfortable at North Grand Cinema. They go back farther and are a little wider. Overall, you can get everything cheaper at the mall cinema with the same experience.

Erik Farrell

you can get a beer and ice cream cone while watching a movie - what else is there to achieve in life? XD

Emily Lo

Love how the outside resembles an old school movie theatre! The seats are comfortable. Only odd thing in my opinion would have to be how the seats are placed. They are below the screen and you kind of have to look up to watch the movie. Not sure if this is a norm but i've never experienced a theatre like this. Overall good experience!

Krystal Parker

Nice seating good picture and sound, overall a good viewing experience but the lobby is very hectic and confusing with the new design

Al Risden

We traveled by the building to see what was playing and when. Niether of us live in Ames but were visiting and thought a movie might be a great was to relax. We were able to see the shows and times from the road that passed by the theater but unfortunately our schedule didn't allow us to stay. We were right in between times and just couldn't wait for the next round of shows.

Kathy Nelson

Personally I think it needs to gift me one of those seats.... every theater needs those seats

Joe ron

Electric lazy boy Seats are crazy comfy.. Lots of leg room now too. Food is way over priced though.

Jami Tharp

Nice place. I get alot of popcorn from here, even when I dont go to the movie.

Gourab Bhaskar

Heated leather seats, High quality audio and visual quality It’s really great

Billy Dyke

Great theater experience. Lines move smoothly. $5 Tuesdays are fantastic, especially for a town full of poor college students. The reclining seats are a godsend.

Jake Talbott

The lobby is fairly dated and worn, but the theaters are updated with leather recliners. Audio and video quality were both good. Snacks are pricey, but not anymore than other theaters.

Seth McCoy

Love it. The reclining, heated and large seats make watching a movie much more comfortable than it used to be. Taking 4 kids and 2 adults was very responsibly priced when done early in the day. The theaters have been clean and the food/drinks were good. The bathrooms are always clean and the staff friendly.

Michael Thompson

Loving the new look!! Plus they got a bar! Whhhhaaaatttt!

Justin Garrison

Very nicely updated theater. Comfortable seats. Although I do miss the ugly tile and arcade in the lobby..

Nick Behrens

The new seating is nice. They also now have beer and wine. Nice to have

Debra Prescott

Expanded services. Now you can enjoy a beer or wine...margaritas are coming. Comfortable, heated, reclining lounge chairs.

Janelle Jaenke

this place is great since the remodeling has been done.the seating is great.

Joe Ferrell

I'm still getting g used to the reserved seating, but the recliners are very comfortable. The updating was needed and is very appreciated.

Dragon Star Productions

Amazing sound quality in their movies, nice and comfortable seats, OUTSTANDING food and beverages, and nice people. If you want to see a movie in it's finest glory, this your theater to watch it at!

Lia Lauderback

Love the new seats and how they aren't as crowded together anymore. It's a really enjoyable way to watch a movie. We probably won't be driving to Altoona anymore.

Shawn Bryant

Perfect seating, chairs have been updated

Alex Abbas

Updated theater with recliners, bar, and clean. Only disappointing things is they never have the back snack bar open, so the lines are ridiculously long.

pamela reese

good movie, good service

Kieran F

They finally upgraded to the leather reclining seats. Much better feel to it than before. They also did the outside so it looks nicer. Only reason a star is missing is because they only seem to have one or two 3d showings per day..

John Riker

Fun place to go to a movies

David Johnson

Newly remodeled with reclining heated seats.

Casey Riker

Newly remodeled, reclining loungers with heated seats. The recliners in altoona are better. These ones only angle out at the feet vs others that go straight out. And the arm rest in the middle does go up, but is uncomfortable if your sitting close with someone. Cup holders are great though as they are above and below the moveable arm rest.

Jai Bird

Love love love this theater. The staff here has always been gracious and happy. Even when I dropped my extra large popcorn and made a horrible mess. Great seats too!!

Carson Williams

A little spendy and front row seats are way to close to the screen.

Luke Turczynski

A high quality movie theater with reasonable rates. Good popcorn and great service

Zachary Skarshaug

Good Ambiance.

Russell Senenfelder

The theater is always clean and in good order when I come here. The upgraded seats are nice as well

Jeremy Halladay

Lil warm in theatre. I was actually sweating a little. I told a worker and they told me they'd make it cooler. It never got cooler. Not a huge deal but we were uncomfortable the entire time

Breanna Peters

Wasn’t happy about paying an online fee for tickets. But the movie was great, seats are comfy, leather, heated, a little too cold might want to bring a jacket. Cute little date spot I hate going to the movies but I enjoyed this.

April Weber

I go here pretty frequently, probably 2-3 times a month depending upon what's playing. Never once have I been disappointed with the staff or theatre in general. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. Love the self checkout style ticket machines. Has a 1960s old theatre feel to it that makes it stand out from other theatres in the area. Would be cool if they replaced the rarely used arcade area with a small bar considering the demographic of Ames.

Adnan Alam

Was not allowed in as I was carrying a backpack. I have been here before couple of times and have always enjoyed the shows. But without any notice it is unfair to discriminate against people who carry bags (or don’t have cars to stash their bags in). I am only visiting Ames, and use Uber in most cases. Cinemark should either provide explicit notice about carrying bags or provide lockers to store bags.

Lisa Seuferer

Comfy! Great seats, yummy food, great sound, clean bathrooms

austin woodin

Nice updates to the seating and now serving wine and beer.

Rob stirle

Good place to go but if North grand has same movie is go there instead better everything seats prices service but movies 12 Does get more movies

Wayne McCray

Really nice seats and a friendly staff!

Nolan Jessen

This is a nice theatre, with comfortable seats and a good setting. Tuesdays have fantastic prices, which are great if you want to go have a nice fun time with a group.

Rachael Christman

Always a great experience. Love going on Tuesday for $5 day!

Jay Herrick

Great theatre

Steve Earl

Movie and seats were great concessions were terrible waited for ever to get what we want Very disappointed

Barry Williams

Great screen sound was a little loud prices during the day are great

Eric Pieper

Seats weren't very comfortable, but very much worth the lower price compared to other theaters in the area

seand 713

A A place where you can get a bang for your buck.

Maddy Elizabeth

horrible. i would NEVER go back. my friend and i went to this theatre with my parents. we were not aware the movie was rated R, so we had my stepdad buy a ticket and walk us in and then leave. right as the movie started, the guy working the ticket booth came in and told us we had to leave. he did not even offer us a refund, and was very rude. there was a plethora of children in this movie unattended. first off, this is not even his job, and we had consent from parents. never again, and the mall is trash, absolute trash, the food is disgusting, and theres 2 stores. 1 star.

Ronnie Pearson

So I have been coming to this place for years. Like 30 years. Never seen it this bad. Started off with none of the credit card machines worked. So I had to go to a atm to get cash. The went to get drinks and snacks. None of the machines work for the fountain drinks, slushies and the credit card at those counters didn't work. So we had to get drinks out of the coolers from what they had left. Which was water and a lemonade pretty much. Also before we got to the counter for the food it looks like a bomb went off. Food, dirt and popcorn everywhere. Its absolutely disgusting. But when we went to the cinema its self nothing was different. The smell in the cinemas gross. Should have known when a employee said this place should have been shutdown. Had to use the bathroom and the urinals are over flowing with urine and trash in them. One of the sinks was taped up with plastic. Nothing works here or is sanitized. So gross now.

jiff pom

It's a decent place, the seats can get uncomfortable, and its relatively cheap. The snacks won't disappoint, and the staff are nice. I give it 4 stars

Nikki John

Great place. Great experienced with the Grandkids.

Salvador Romo

Great prices on tickets. And the staff is always friendly. Seats could be more comfortable but overall if you want to watch a movie it's a fantastic choice

Rick Hill

Great prices getting in.

Marlalynn Yourell

Always enjoy this theater. Prices are right!

Allen Moore

Great price on tickets. Not crowded and clean

Christopher Buantello

Never had an issue here, prices are great too

Ginger Nelson

Love going here even if its not first class seating. Pricing makes it all worth it

Alma Hernandez

Good place to go a have fun. Movie and games

V Lo

Good prices but update the bathrooms please!!!

Amber Jacobs

Decent place to see a movie.

DJ Alibi HTX

Not bad for a little movie theater in town

Rae Esqueda

Took grandkids to c Antman and whasp. Had fun and emjoyed

Nathan Norman

For your eyes only

Jessica Munn

It's an old movie theater, but gets the job done.

Bill Nik

There selling point is the low price of tickets. You can get them pretty cheap compared to other luxurious movie theaters. But that comes with less of that expensive luxury you might enjoy. The chairs are just simple plastic and tough cushions with a cup holder, rather than the leather La-Z-Boy recliner the $20 ticket places have. The popcorn is ok while the soda and candy is the same stuff you buy from CVS. And if you are a hardcore germophobes beware, the floors are 'bout as clean as a gas station's. The chairs are relatively free of large particles as they fold up and everything rolls off but you should still keep an eye out for stuck on gunk. Potty breaks are not encouraged either. If you really have to go its as good a place as any, but try and hold it till you can get home or to a nice restaurant.

Lila Zuniga

Dirty smells really bad, food extremely expensive

cesley amber

Family friendly pricing, even for early showings! Its an old joint, but that gives it a certain charm.

Alicia Perkins

Si awesome only 4.50 a movie no matter what it is cool place

Frankie Roger

half the price as cinemark in Webster. seats are not as comfortable though.

Kenneth Frohne

Best discount cinema in the area - clean facility and courteous staff.

Gerry Mena

Theater itself is always on the dirty side, but price, and quality of film image and sound are great.

Jennifer Doyle

Like the price but its pretty dirty

Charlene Adams

This was the filthiest theater I have ever been in. My teenage son and I went to the see The Lion King Real 3D in cinema #4 at 5pm on 7/20/19. The seats looked awful but I assumed it was just old. I sat down and about 5 minutes later I felt like something was biting me on my feet and back. I was itching all over. We changed seats and it eased up some. Disgusting. This place needs to be steam cleaned from top to bottom. I will never go back to this theater. It’s a shame too because the screens were nice and it is close to my home. I would rather drive to Webster where the theater is clean than sit and itch and wonder what is crawling on me!! Clean this place up or shut it down!!

Pebbles Stone

Price was right but needs better seating.

nick Gonzales

Great service, very friendly staff and a great price

Lacrema La

I personally like this theater. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of parking. I don't have to pick my seat ahead of time. They are nice. They have the kid pack combo of popcorn, gummies & an icee. They don't have stadium seating, but I don't care that much. It would be nice if the people watching movies were more respectful.

Joseph Fuentes

I like the low prices, but the smell and cleanliness is questionable!

Cole Walter

Great for seeing the newest of movies, the most comfortable seating. Would recommend going on Tuesdays.

Ashley Schmidt

Comfortable nice staff

Doug Bockover

Comfy chairs. Decent screen. Good sound. Terrible bathroom location. Seriously, what movie theatre put the only bathrooms in the entire theatre at the freaking exit as far away from the movie screens as possible!?

Keri Holmes Rojas

The theater was clean and comfortable. Assigned seats means you do this have to arrive early. Staff was friendly. Restroom clean.

Douglas Gullclemons

Love seeing movies here. Everything about it is perfect! My only complaint is the distance between the bathroom and some of the theaters. As an older individual with a disability.. it can be a challenge!

William Mekemson

They have huge reclining comfy chairs now.

Eric Marcanio

Comfy seats!

Maria R

They have comfy recliners and reserved seating which is great. The lobby and hallways look old and tacky. The concession workers look like they hate their jobs. One dude was snarky with us when we decided to only buy a drink and no popcorn lol

Mom Iowa

I don't like this theater for the seats. They hurt my back! I used to love going here but when they changed I tried it and its not for me. I find I have to stay away from Cinemark theaters for just this reason. It's just too bad!

Christie Baldus

Comfortable chairs. Relaxing atmosphere

me meme

The new seats are a big plus, making the movie experience much more meaningful.

Richard Fenneman

Great place to see a movie. All seats are reclining and heated. Popcorn sucks though.

ThinkSpace IT

Nice seats.

Ferit Karakaya

very good cinema, nice and clean, but the staff is somehow confused. especially when you object to waiting on line when you purchased an online ticket, have a barcode or have them printed at the kiosk.

Bryan Pickering

Luxury lounging seats so it's a little more pricey than most theaters. They offer standard and 3D movies. Concessions are a little more pricey than most movies I go to, but it was a great family experience.

Ryann Nootz

I like it, it is fun. I like the heated seats. The popcorn is good. It has a big movie screen. I would prefer this movie theater Than anyoyher movie theater in Iowa.

Rickey Thompson

Hello what’s up with me earring the movie next to me Cinemark movie 12 yes I can hear the movie in other room. The popcorn and soda was great the restroom was clean . And the service was with a smile.

Demrie B

The lougers were so comfortable

Melissa Watson

Love this theater!!

Taylor Rodamer

Great movie theater. Love going there when looking for something fun to do and have a good time. Comfy seats. Good prices.

Jeff Hopper

Theater is very clean. Seating it's great. Large comfortable recliners

Erika Durby

Always enjoy the seating and the food options; but standing in line for food is crowded. So a little more space and an attendee at the food counter where the movie theaters are would be helpful.

Will Brown

Saw The Last Jedi, went to a matinee showing, the place was packed. I was impressed they were that busy during the day. Still an old theatre with no stadium seating unfortunately, however they did recently update to new leather reclining chairs which were very comfortable. You also have to purchase your exact seat now, no choosing once inside the theatre.

Rueben Salas

I think its a very nice place

Mohamad Aslani

Best theater in Ames, the have new chairs and it is more convenient.

William Chieves

The remodel looks fantastic. Highly recommend

Alexis Heistand

I enjoy the new seating. Heated seats and reclining seats yes please!

Sagnik Banerjee

Nice place for a movie but the one in north is more comfy

moff

Went here to see Detective Pikachu with my girlfriend and the service and experience was great.

Zoë Grabowski

Having been to this location twice, I am very impressed with the experience they provide. The seating is extremely comfortable, with arms that can be moved up out of the way for if you want to snuggle up during date night or cling to your unfortunate friend at a horror film. You can also lean your seat back without interfering with other people's personal space. The floors have been impeccably clean, which is always a bonus for those of us who are not a fan of that sticky just-stepped-in-soda feeling.

Trae Blessing

Good theater. Needs more bathrooms and stadium seating. Otherwise it’s nice.

Brian Dreesen

Would be nice if they didn't have assigned seating.

connie c

Great movie theater, seats lean back, though not as much as some other movie theaters. Their seats have a button that you can press to heat up your seat. Good concessions, currently updating part of their lobby. You can still go there and watch movies though.

Aaron Washington

Great concesssions. Heated, reclining seats but not very horizontal

Michael Abele

I like that I can find a movie a week after it comes out

Nicholas Boersma

Very comfortable seats, like all theaters though the price is creeping up.

Ava Dusek

I love going to this theatre it's nice very cheap tickets but they are very strict about checking ID's and what not but other than that it's a pretty normal theatre cheap tickets rip off concessions

Pavel Rodriguez

Exellent seats and location grate pizza and service

Mytra Thompson

The staff was great and attentve the theatre was clean and the seats were comfortable. I will be returning.

Samantha Ouzenne

Need to do a better job at keeping the restrooms clean

Antonio Barrett

Went for my birthday with a friend and had a great time! The only reason I give 4 stars and not all 5, is because the screening time were difficult to understand, and so we weren't able to watch both movies we had planned on.

Nikki Snyder

I would never go to this movie theater on opening night of a most liked movie

Lyryal Thea

Older Cinemark theater, nice new chairs, lower price on 1st run movies (including 3D!) than anywhere else in the area. I go to this theater more frequently than the newer, totally upgraded theaters. Does Not have stadium seating/ reserved seats/ recliners. (Loses a point due to the restrooms needing an upgrade. Tolerable - yes. Still not great.)

kverian bell

Love it get staff but the snacks are a little high

Shana Black

Great for all this time I haven't seen a movie in the theater because of it being so expensive. I was shocked to see 2 people get in for 7. Dollars and some change. Now inside is a different story big bucket of popcorn and large soda with some junior mints was 17 dollars and some change. People were friendly and jumji was a great movie. Miss Robin Williams but still and yet the rock, Kevin heart, and Jack black made a good movie.

Margaret Corfield

Friendly ticket counter, smiling concession workers, clean and working restrooms and very enjoyable seating. Thank You for a delightful afternoon.

Gloria Bradshaw

had a blast. good hours prices n not that crowded when we went. i recommend.

Jennifer Hernandez

Good food good movies.

Jenny Luna

Great prices on tickets. Cleanly

Daniel Donnelly

If I could rate this with zero stars, I would. Started off with Stale popcorn and a flat tasting soda. I didn't want to get up from the movie and miss something, so I just dealt with it. The seats were uncomfortable as well. But what got me the worst was after the movie when I went to get a refill on my drink and saw a 2 inch roach crawling up the wall. Told the manager behind the concessions and he simply stated " Oh, I'm sure someone will kill it at some point, there isn't a place you can go in Texas and not find those roaches anywhere." I said he was full of it because I grew up in Texas and they aren't everywhere. But he just get on and couldn't care less, even though they were serving food there. Asked for the other manager, who told me they have had them for a while now and there is nothing they can do about it. I WILL NEVER VISIT THIS FACILITY AGAIN. They are a disgrace to the Cinemark name.

Wednesday

Movie wouldn't play lights kept going on and off no sound

Bonnie Patterson

Went to see Meg. Pretty crowded but air was ok. Temperature of theater was good considering the amount of people here. Floors weren't very clean. Price was good. I would go back.

Anjelina Filer

this place is AMAZING I come here almost every time there is a new movie out, the snacks and drinks are THE BOM.

Steven Scheck

Fast service good environment to go watch a movie

Yvette Marsh-Johnson

Movie theatre needs some major upgrades. Doors have to be propped open with trash can because door handles don’t work. Which means that noice form hallway disrupted movie, lights never dim in the theaters.. have been there twice in the last month and the issue has not been resolved. Concession stand always nasty.

Eduardo Lopez

Other than the fact that it's a little old and not as clean as ithey movie theaters, I live going here because watching a movie doesn't "break the bank".

Rocio Petties

Love the price very convenient for a big family!

Brad Pourchot

My family and I have been going to this theater for as long as I can remember. I remember going to this theater when Mall of the Mainland was still fully open. They have cheap tickets and always have pretty good movies in their theaters. Can be a little dirty at times, but for the most part it is kept a pretty clean. This is normally my go to theater when a movie comes out, because it’s cheap and you can still get the full movie theater experience. If you are in the area and haven’t been here, I would definitely recommend it!

dance2dubeat84

Better movie deals than webster

Mariah Washington

I was surprised that such an inexpensive theater would be so nice! Matinee on a Saturday was only $3 for kids and $3.75 for adults. We will definitely be back. We saw Lion King

Phyllis Burton

Been coming for years because tickets are so cheap. Seats are dirty, smelly, and torn, but I have dealt with it. I had mice run across my feet during movie. When I reported it, manager said they know but cannot do anything about it. Mice using the bathroom on seats and in concession explains a lot.

Tammy Whalen

My daughter and i brought the grankids to see goosebumps Halloween on oct.21 they put us in the wrong theater room when i walked in there was no movie name above the door as i always check after waiting an hour the movie finally came on it was the michael myers Halloween we went and complained and was given money back the next movie starts at 630 its sunday i explained to the manager kyle..i sais we have been here since 4 its not our fault we were put in wrong theater ...he said did you ask anyone ..as if its our fault ..i said there is no movie name above the door ...i said you should give us complimentary tickets so we can come back ..he said you got your money back and i said and you want us to wait until 630 on a school night we have already been here since 4..he said well thats all i can do im sorry ...he didnt even look at the upset kids we had already spent over 20 bucks on drinks and popcorn kyle the manager didnt care or he would have been a good manager and gave complimentary tickets for these kids and i could have written a thank you review ..kyle the manager needs better people skills to be working in the general public with people ...so now we go home after spending a ridiculous amount of money on popcorn and still no movie ..we cant be exspected to stay until 630 after being here since 4 on a school night im very unhappy with kyle..

Alyssa Gardner

Good to go to if you want to see a cheap movie. Not comfortable seating when watching a movie though. To me its always felt a little grimey. Bathrooms could be maintained better as well. Concession is alright, high priced but thats all theaters.

Brittany Haley

Good food and good movies

Cindy Riley

Love tgis place!

Jocelyn Hicks

We always watched movie here every weekend.. Love the place!!!

M.A. B

Quiet place, small lines and wait time.

Jessica Bowden

It was so good because I watched Allanden

Michael Strickland

3 stars because of the extremely cheap tickets. 4 matinees tickets for $12. Seating was terrible. You could not sit behind someone because of the very gradual slope. I definitely would not recomend during peak hours.

Frankee Nuklls

Nice theater

Tony Cabrera

It's alright I've seen worst and I've seen way better. It got the job done

April LaPoint

Love the popcorn

Kelly T

Have been going to this theater for years, and have always had a good time. They upgraded all the theaters so all the chairs recline, and are heated! Plus, they're oversize and comfy. They also just redid the front entry, so they’re offering alcoholic beverages! Multiple different types of beer, plus margaritas and daiquiris! Oh, and you now pick your seats ahead of time. You don’t have to worry about getting there early for a good seat.

Todd Hageman

Nice place to see a movie. Seating is comfortable. Unlike some theaters they don't keep it too hot or too cold, which is nice. Concession stand is too expensive, but theater concession stands always are. Staff is nice. They get a good variety of movies.

Lorie Ealy

Went to Angel Has Fallen. Intense but good.

Ashlyne Patterson

We go to this theater all of the time. However, today when we went and saw IT Chapter 2 in theater 6 we saw two rats running down the aisle, under chairs. We alerted an employee and they said they were aware they had a "mouse" problem. So we alerted management and all they had to say is they were aware and that it was due to construction. I understand issues like this happen but we were given no explanation of a solution or a solution in process. This really freaked me out and is quite unsanitary considering people eat there. Until we are made aware of a solution we will be taking our business elsewhere.

Gabe

Nice facility, fairly clean. Decent viewing experience with the reclined seating. 3D screens are great as well but accommodations can vary from room to room. Concession stand properly overpriced like every other theatre.

Andrew Manss

Nice little movie theater. Small but nice and friendly staff. The seats are not bad, other movie theaters have better quality seats.

Wendy Golden

We went to see a movie on Friday at 7pm. They only had two people working the concessions. No one manning the ice cream bar area. Which was frustrating because it was our first time since the remodel. We requested a closed caption device, and they must need maintenance. After the second one I tried I gave up on them and watched the movie with much confusion. Then the chair my husband got was broken and couldnt recline.

Amber Davis

Comfy reclining heated leather seats!

Caroline Paxton

This will always be my movie theater.

Angela Kyhl

Popcorn needs work, not my favorite. And more drink choices like powerade and iced tea. New stadium seats are nice.

D-Block Sheek Louch

Perfect every other time but this time I daughter went in to see incredible 2 and when my daughter went to pay your card machine didn’t work, so they had to go inside and buy tickets which did work. Then my girls went to purchase food from the main concessions and not only was her card not working and so was other patrons there, devin came out and said do you cash and my daughters said no and he said I’m sorry you can’t get food. So my girls walked to their movie and noticed that there was another smaller concession and she tried it there and it worked.. just not a professional experience for two tweenies.

Babatunde Agbaje

I don't care for the new seats. First of all, it's not a full recline and the seats are heated. Why? On top of that, the button to activate the seat warmers are inside the chair by your thigh so it's too easy to accidentally turn on the seat warmers and by the time you realize it, your butt is on fire. Horrible design.

Mike Broderick

Great seating, use the Fandago app.

Joshua Przybyszewski

The theater is currently open, but it's under construction in part. They are installing new recliner-style theaters that are much nicer than the old seats. Obviously, the food is going to be overpriced. The tickets are reasonably priced; don't miss the cheap movie Tuesday deal! I'll rate 5 stars if it's quality after construction is finished.

Mike Erickson

The seats at North Grand Mall are better.

Doug Roberts

Great place to go and enjoy your self. Previews are fun to. The seats are nice to relax in and most of the time is quite like it should be. Keep up the great work. We'll be back very soon. Love everything about the theater.

Erica Keller

Always a great experience!

Shelley Jurgens

Great location, clean and selection.

Haley Bailey

It's comfortable and generally as clean as a theater can be. The only downfall is their service at the food counter. There always seems to be not enough people working and they have a food counter in a different area that I've only seen open once in the past 3 years. It takes forever and they're not speedy about their service at all. Other than that I really like this theater.

Gelli Ravikumar

Nice one to go, but it needs to get improved on its ambiance much more.

James Kilmer

I like this theater, it's conveniently located and easy to get to. They have matinees running all day long, sometimes beginning as early as 9:50! The seats are comfortable with electronic recliners. The popcorn always seems fresh, although like all theaters the concessions are far too expensive to get all the time. But for a treat it's okay. They have 3D and 2D version of the same movies sometimes. Plenty of parking spaces!

Justice Myers

Love it here the seats are amazing and they have a family friendly atmosphere

Michael manke

The movie started 10 min late the pop corn was cold an half unpoped the seat heater was nice untell it started cooking my bum no one even checked to see if I had bought a ticket or where my show was at at least the coke was cold

Tonglu Li

I have been thinking that the theater itself is not bad, until I encountered some other problems. Lost my wallet days ago. Called them three times and told them where to look. The only thing the person who answered the phone was good at was saying "we will call you when we find it." Can you just simply let me know if anyone has searched for it? Now I doubt that. I will give up my wallet and will go to North Grand theater in the future.

Garrett Rohden

It’s so nice and comfy in the reclining chairs! Love it would go there any time.

Deb Malsom

Great place to see a movie, recliner chairs that are heated when the air kicks in it takes the chill off!

Terence Rice

Nice and clean environment. Took my kids to the movies and had a great time.

Glenn Denetelli

Nice reclining seats

Christopher Burrows

Fine movie theater but SLOWEST SERVICE EVER!!! They have 4 or 5 staff behind the counter for concessions but can’t serve more than one person at a time and at such a slow pace. Takes forever should there ever be an actual line of more than 4 or 5 customers in front of you. Please Cinemark, fix this!!

Iowa Dad

This was always a great theater with amazing staff and the latest movies, plus some great classics. With all of the new updates, it's even better.

Kelsi Papesh

Great theater with kind workers and comfortable, warm seating. Popcorn is amazing and you can add more buttery topping at a self-serve station. My family and I always enjoy our visits.

Don Mingo

Pros - Not bad for small town. Service was good. Ticket prices reasonable. Cons - Floor lay out in cinemas not desirable. Sound little lack luster

Tanya Campbell

Great prices, tickets were sold inside during cold weather, yay! Love the new reclining seats, and they're heated! (Optional button to turn heat on next to reclining button.)

Rebecca Dunham

Love the newer chairs, reclining and heated option. Also, plenty of leg room; you don't have to stumble across others feet to get in and out of your seat. Also love the newer option of buying tickets online and getting to pick exact seats. No more stress to get there early to get good seats!

Lizzy Bulten

Comfortable seating. Reasonable prices for tickets and food, but never seems to have enough staff for the food counter. I typically stand in line for 2-10 minutes waiting to get my bag of popcorn and a drink.
