Reviews of Athena Grand (Movie Theater)

Tyler Rhea

Theater 11 had a few wrinkles in the screen. They never dimmed the lights when the movie started. The HVAC system is quite loud and can be easily heard over the movie.

Jennifer Kapelka

Great prices! Nice theater.

Cory Richards

good prices on tickets and food/drink

francis fosu

It was super good

Abandoned Gaming

It's good but prices are high compared to another theater nearby.

Jackie Green

Prices are very reasonable all ar6

Tim McDole

I always enjoy watching movies here, seating is comfortable and concessions are reasonably priced.

Avanel Holliday

Downton Abbey was a very good movie.

Lora Hall

Great staff and great seats. Not overly priced. Comfortable seating and wheelchair accessible.

Tony Gillman

Very nice and comfortable. Great price.

Malachi Law

Great prices, popcorn was delicious and cheap. Only complaint was the small drinks were extremely small for the price, but that's totally expected at a movie theater. If popcorn makes you thirsty, definitely get a medium or a large drink

David Groves

I have been going to this movie theater since it was first built. I still remember the previous store that was in its place previously. Ive never had an outright bad experience there. Generally it has been good. Staff is nice and the theater isn’t dirty.

Kartik Ganjoo

Definitely the cheapest movie tickets I have ever bought. Sure there is a cheaper place but it's a bit far from campus. Only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 star rating is that the areas I end up sitting in always have some sort of litter around it.

Robert Beck

Great prices, clean, neat and comfortable

Jon Davenport

had a great time today took my daughter to see the grinch for her 6th bday. the movie was great quality the employees were awesome and took great care of us THANKS ATHENA GRAND!

M Young

Movies for $5? Count me in! Don't expect gold floors or red carpet. Come here for the best bang for your buck.

Steve Johnson

Cheap tickets comfortable chairs cheap snacks great place to catch a flick

Terri S.

Love this place! We drive all the way from WV, but the drive is easy, and it's worth it! Great prices - two of us can get tickets and refreshments for under $20! Comfortable stadium seating and clean restrooms - what's not to like?!

Justin Robson

You can't beat the price, but sometimes the workers are rude. Was in the middle of a movie and one of the workers randomly came in and threatened to kick my daughter and her friends out. Now if they were talking through or being loud during the movie I would understand, but they were being quiet as can be. The worker offered no explanation and just walked out. Next time I'll drive the extra few minutes and go to Nelsonville or Parkersburg.

Jlynn Smith

Took my 2year old here for her first movie experience and it was a super fun evening.

Leslie Brooks

It's nice and glad the prices for dropped.

Todd Mcdade

It was a little warm in the theater but overall not bad

Ben Stanley

Good prices and decent seats

Kathryn Ross

My all time favorite place in the area to watch a movie. Employees are always kind and efficient. The idea that you can order your tickets and food st the same time, makes for a quicker way to get to your movie. Also love the popcorn bar-where you can butter and favor your own popcorn!

Thurlin Maynard

Good Boys, good film

Jeremy Miller

Claw machine, quarter machines, power your own popcorn, very roomy

Craig Jenkins

Has 11 screens, gets most first-run movies. Reasonable prices on tickets and refreshments.

James Smith

Great movie theater! Comfortable seats, great screens, and excellent sound all at a very reasonable price.

Bill Trout

A super place for everyone, clean huge parking lot easy to get in and out off street*

Ryan Herron

(Edit: Gave back two stars after receiving word that the problem is being investigated... Hopefully they get it taken care of) Went to see a movie, came out 2 hours later with bug bites all over my head and neck... Disgusting.

Jeff Finlay

I really enjoyed my experience at this theater. The ticket kiosk made buying tickets easy. The theater was clean and the seats were comfortable. The projection quality was excellent and the sound was at a comfortable volume. Considering that the ticket prices are inexpensive, compared to big-city theatres, seeing movies here is a great value!

Benny CP

Great place. Cheaper prices than New York theaters. Also exceptional service. Would go again.

David Combs

We drive 45 minutes to go see movies here. The only place you can see indie movies and critically acclaimed movies. Owned by the University and run by students. Its well run and everyone is friendly.

Rodrigo Vilela

Great movie theater. Has lots of rooms, screens are fine, chairs are conftable and is up to date with the latest releases plus is almost never crowded. Staff is awesomely receptive and popcorn is always great. Ticket prices are fair and fitted for all. For me it's not a 4 star just because I think the rooms need to be renewed or renovated as some lack better conservation, some smell old, walls and sellings need an upgrade job and air-conditioning can sometimes smell musty. Treat that and you we all will enjoy a first class experience.

John Bailey

Nice and clean and reasonable.

Tiffany Williams

Good movie theater great prices

Josh Frash

Athena Grand is an awesome place for movies in Southeast Ohio. Ticket prices are cheap ($5 for adult anytime) and is worth the higher price compared to Movies Ten for the projector quality. Concessions are a bit more but still affordable. Movies pass through here quickly so be sure to see the popular films soon after they release

Jennie Ellison

Took my girls to watch MIB International. It wouldn't take my card for some reason (it worked just fine at a different location afterwards). I'm HOH and I got the closed captioning device. It was the first time I've ever had the experience. It meant a lot to me and it worked great. Everything was perfectly timed. I loved it. We passed a cheaper theatre on the way that didn't offer the service. There's a bit of a smell, but the seats are comfy and they're on a steep incline floor so you don't have to worry about seeing over people's heads (like the aforementioned cheaper place). I'm glad I made the trip for this place.

lynn melton

Best price for going to movies

İrfan Emrah Kanat

For the price, it is incredible value.

Rustyr

Seen a great show. Was relaxing. Easy parking. In and out smoothly.

Benton

Definitely an aging theater. Many screens have blemishes that are distractingly visible during projection. Otherwise, staff (mainly highschoolers) are kind and fast. Prices are great.

Shamima Nasrin

Nice movie theatre. Very close to our house.

Dean Rooker Jr.

Best movie theater around

Shaylyn Allen

Love that this place does special showings. Well kept, good snack variety, not too pricey.

Joshua Green

They need to improve Customer Service when a showing is reaching max capacity. Bought four tickets and several concession items for my friends and had to leave minutes later since there weren’t enough seats and they refused to give refund or some sort of credit/exchange. If they see this and claim seats were available, don’t believe them... 2 seats were available (not the four I paid for).

Daniel Middleton

Very nice discount theater. All the new movies. The concession stand has good deals.

Robert Burns

Nice theatre. Too many comercials before movie though.

Janel Folden

Clean and friendly. A bit warm. Great prices!

Dirk Dempsey

Great venue. Lots of selection for movies and food during the movie. Very clean and well kept!

Richard Noecker

Upscale and modern when compared to Movies 10, worn and dated when compared to almost every other theather I've been to. But, if you are in Athens, this is where you go, and the price is unbeatable compared to most theaters. Having an automatic reclining seat might be nice, but I'm really just there to see a movie. If I am allowed one big gripe (and I'm sure I'm completely alone on this one) it would be their hotdogs. No movie theater hot dog is great, and I don't consider myself all that particular, but their microwave dogs are terrible. I find comfort is knowing a hot dog is perfectly cooked after having rolled around for hours.

Tyler Zwolenik

Great prices and comfy seats! Can't ask for much more

Lisa Smith

Always friendly, and the best part is a family of 3 can buy snacks and drinks and tickets for under 40 dollars. The seats are nice and it's always clean. Well worth the drive from Parkersburg, WV.

Heylea Allan

Good prices on everything here. Good movies. Mostly everything is good, setting is super bland though and the chairs are just bleh. Other than that great place to see movies.

CWL

I live in Parkersburg & drive all the way to Athens to catch movies. The price, screens, and staff are all much better than I can find in my own town. Sometimes the bass from one theater bleeds into an adjacent one, but that's my only nitpick.

Philip Skinner

Theaters can be rather hard to review especially in college town Athens Ohio, but this review will be as unbiased and rated off of several visits throughout multiple years. So without further-ado here it is. This theater opened up only …

Jaden Runyon

The seats rock and the arm rests can be put up out of the way. Good place. Will go again.

Tim Bailey

The snacks and drinks are expensive, but the tickets are very affordable, employees are kind and the theater quality is great. It was a good experience.

James Goble

Great experience.

john doe

Too expensive movies 10 so much better and cheaper

Barbara Donohue

Lots of movies, not all that expensive. Usually clean and friendly.

Chris Hogsett

Comfortable seats, clean. Nice prices.

morgan shiflett

I like going here its small but comfortable I rather pay a dollar more cause the seats are more comfortable than movie 10, I am surprised to see comments saying its expensive here cause if you try going to a movie in columbus than be prepared to pay at least twice as much. My only complaint is sometimes the theater is too warm, and it might need a lottle more cleaning but for the prices you pay I don't care too much

Luna Moon

Nice place, comfortable seats, great selection of snacks and drinks. Really friendly.

Willis Morris

Good pricing loved movies

Bruce Blackston

Nice place and very reasonable ticket and snack prices

Andrew Sockett

This is not you AMC or any other corporate movie theater, however for a small town theater, I was surprised on how up to date the movies are and how cheap everything is. The seats I might rate at 3 stars but for the price and quilts of …

william russell

They show good Christian movies when they are available.

Ralph Ross

Very clean. A nice place to go.

Mary Ellison

I love this movie theater. It has the best prices for movies and snacks. It is worth the drive to Athens.

Enviosscott456

Five dollars for a movie is great and the food prices are very reasonable. Comfortable seating and the screens are great and sound is awesome. The only complaint would be that it gets to warm in the theaters.

Ashley Lamraoui

Great price and good movie :)

Mr West Virginia

It’s a great place. Good times and great movies. But I was never there last week so I have no idea how google got that I was

Brian Jones

This is what a movie theater experience is supposed to be like. Do you remember the times when going to the movies was an adventure? Well, get ready to go back in time... This place is the best. We travel here from Parkersburg to go to the movies. We saw "The Hate U Give", which was great also. You can actually come here for a movie and, get popcorn and a drink, without having to mortgage your house.They even have an arcade and "real" snack food at reasonable prices. Athena Grand is also very accessible. The ramp is not an idiot designed stunt ramp. There are no clunky thresholds, nor are there any steep ramps to theater seating. Everything, as far as accessibility, was well throughout, well planned, and well executed. If you haven't been there and you're in the neighborhood, or less than a hundred miles away, you have to visit Athena Grand! You won't be disappointed.

Douglas Shackelford

Comfortable...a bit of a maze inside

Tosha Gardner

Large screens and comfy seating.

Ivan Park

Friendly staff Great seating and prices aren't too bad.

Kent Orr

$6 tickets are hard to beat, and great quality theater as well. Snacks are a bit much, but it's rare to find a theater where they aren't.

Sarah Lockhart

So clean, friendly and very helpful. The prices are great.

Marsha Bryan

Great place. Nice staff

Morgan Webster

Great prices and friendly atmosphere. I don't need reclining seats when the price for tickets and concessions is affordable.

jeff slattery

Variety of movies. Reasonable prices.

Allison Paolucci

Very nice.

Lou Hinkle

We have never had a bad experience here. The staff is first rate. Very affordable.

R.G. Yoho

Best place in the area to watch a film!

Thomas liming

Great Big Screens! Fantastic prices! Clean. Oh man I love this place.

Chloe Musick

Athena Grand is an affordable theater with a wide variety of movies given it's location. The seats have arms that fold up and down, which is a plus for me. There are also popcorn seasonings available at the concession counter. These options seat this theater apart.

ATL BuckeyeGirl

Best movie theater around. Comfy seats, cheap prices!
