Reviews of Eveningstar Cinema (Movie Theater)

Lisa Love

Love this gem, the movies that they show, their popcorn and toppings, and comfy seats.

Alejandro Garcia

Amazing, small cinéma. It's a one screen movie theatre that shows a different movie each week. There were a couple of comfy couches in the front row. There's a small concession stand before the Auditorium, but the place is also connected to Wild Oats if you're looking to grab a bite.

Henry Bingham

Love seeing movies here because they are "lesser known" ones. Staff is great and they have the best popcorn

Nancy Shapiro

Always excellent films. Comfortable theatre. Friendly unimposing ( hey, it’s Maine) atmosphere. Can’t go wrong ever when going to Eveningstar, plus great location in Brunswick. Nancy of Boston and Phippsbutg

Funky cinema and funky owner....The films are funky too----but very good!!! Very relaxed cinema with couches in the front...A casual place to go to see an art house film...

Marji Moser

I went to watch Mary Queen of Scott's. Evening Star Cinema is my most favorite theatre to visit for a good movie! I love love love its quaintness!

Theresa Arita

Small room, has space for wheelchairs, and had old couches in front. I pushed one forward to get knee room. $2 for can of soda, $4 for small popcorn-pricey- but I had a coupon which was nice. Lighting seemed to glare on the film, sadly. Movie embarrassed me, was glad to slip out the exit almost straight to the street. "Bohemian" would be the kind description.

Evening Star Cinema is my favorite movie venue. It's small comfortable and has a good selection of films for folks looking for more than explosions and expletives.

We were renting Eveningstar Cinema for a private showing of our made-in-Maine indie feature. The owner and stellar staff were incredibly kind and hospitable throughout the entire process. The theater is cozy and has a great selection of films it shows. This place has character, the people have heart. Proud to have this wonderful place in this state. Can't say enough good things.

My spouse and I have seen two films here so far. We try to go as often as we can. This place is fantastic. Great beer, reasonably priced concessions and tickets, a cozy indie atmosphere. They tend to play arthouse and other movies that go under the radar. When turnout is lower, they pull out old sofas to sit on. Can't recommend highly enough.

Brett

Decent one screen cinema. Concession and student discount were great but the seating wasn't very comfortable

dillon plunkett

Reasonable prices, friendly staff, good selection of movies, good options for drinks. Has couches. The only thing I don't like is the popcorn, always tastes stale to me.

Kyle Green

Small independent theater. The ticket prices are good, the concession prices are super reasonable and the atmosphere is awesome!

Benjamin Martens

Amazing cinema in downtown Brunswick.

Dusty Burrill

Went to see "Victoria and Abdul" with my ex wife. Great time.

Bob Doak

Always a great place for a show - makes you feel like you are at a friend's place (a friend with a great screening room0. Very comfortable and intimate.

Emily Keane

Support your local cinema! They have big squishy chairs and couches. Best popcorn with a bunch of free toppings to choose from.

Jason Sewall

Good films, comfy couches, and beer! What more could you ask for?

nick nelsonwood

Great small theater. They show lots of really interesting alternative movies. The snacks and drinks are also reasonably priced.

Melissa Quinn

Really uncomfortable seating, the person in front of you could end up in your lap because the rows are so tight

Marc Dionne

I love this place and the films that are shown here!

john ruwet

Great popcorn.....nice film selection....couch seating

Scott Duke

Really cool place. Friendly stsff.

Jim Merritt

Very unique

Daniel Snyder

Very good (indie) movies. Terrible (grainy, diffused, gray colors) projection system. Hope this will be corrected with new owner.

Eleanor Holmes Wilson

My favorite theater anywhere! The front-row couches make me feel comfy, warm, welcome, as if I have my own private screening room. The owner, and his dog, are delightful. The movies almost always top-rate, and the prices are from the 1980s. The owner is trying to open a new theater, which will not be as conveniently-located, but will have more than one screen. He promises to keep the couches.

Susan Pelley

It's been a convenient theater to see avante garde movies. Unfortunately, they've replaced the old worn chairs with traditional movie seating with absolutely no spacing between the rows. Be prepared to have your knees jammed or pity the folks who need to get out of their seat to exit a row and pass someone seated in the row. If you're taller than 5'6 don't go.

Kat Robinson

Not a fan. God forbid you end up in the first few rows- there are only sofas instead of regular theater seats. You will be squished next to a stranger. The popcorn is stale and tasteless, and you have to pay a dollar to add flavoring. I recommend going to Regal cinema instead; there is a larger variety of films. One redeeming quality of Eveningstar, however, is that some older movies are shown here, but Regal often has numerous vintage movie nights.

Guy Marsden

As a 6'2" tall person, the seats are really uncomfortable. they used to have couches in the front rows that were comfortable, but those are gone now.

Soxna Dice

Great indie movies, comfy seating, good popcorn, friendly staa

lshorette

Great comfy couches, popcorn with real butter and a rainbow of flavors you can shake on top. Better than the multiplex.

Phoebe Torsilieri

This is the best movie theatre in the area. I believe in supporting the small businesses (and their dogs, too!)

Mary Kay Weisenberger

I love this theater. Great films you will not see in the main stream theaters, friendly staff great popcorn. .. but the seats even after the recent upgrade remain a problem for any one tall, wide or with bad knees. Some of the seats rock backwards and hit the knees of the person behind you.

Jason Sirois

It's a nice old school theater. A cool experience.

Julie Mackie

The Peanut Butter Falcon was an interesting movie.

Bart Simpson

Great little theater.not like the chain theaters it has a small home town atmosphere.

Rebecca Rene ́ Kelley

So much charm in this theater! The owner is very hospitable and does a lot to make the experience enjoyable for his customers. Go see something there! I saw a beautiful film that really inspired me.

Sharon Randall

Best small theater in Maine; always a treat. Intimate, with genuinely quality movies being shown

allison withers

Great venue for first run films, especially now that oscar is mentioned daily
