Beverly Hills, CA
Terrible customer service. I was at a movie this afternoon and a fire broke out in one of the restaurants that shares the mall with the theater, and not a single staff member came in to say anything was going on; we just heard shouting in the hall and another patron ran in and told us to get out. By that point, the fire had been contained, but the power in the theaters all went out so the movies were all cut short. Then, although there were 5 or 6 people working, only one was issuing refunds and the rest of the staff was just standing around. Awful afternoon, movie cut short, and didn’t even get a refund. Never going back to this theater. This staff needs some serious training.

The staff is great at this location, and the popcorn even tasted a bit fresher here than the Coral Ridge mall location, but it’s basically the same set up otherwise. I really wish Iowa City/​Coralville had a large, stand-​alone multiplex that wasn’t attached to a mall. Even though Sycamore is trying to renovate (and the clean, stylish Lucky’s is a great addition), this mall is still rather abandoned/​old, and the theater suffers from that as well. Picture quality/​sound, concessions, and types of films are on par with Coral Ridge Marcus as well. Bonus points for this location offering a few more films, but overall, I’ve still experienced better.

Comfortable seats and looks generally clean. Not that cheap at $ 10 per ticket and concession prices were also in the higher end. Overall nice sound and picture on the screen.

Dirty, we walked in and the theater still had trash in it (popcorn buckets, pretzel trays, candy wrappers) not appealing nor somewhere I would go again… quite a few staff standing up front but there’s nobody to get big trash in the theaters? Seems lazy.

Total busch league theater. Saw James Bond and the projector quality is up to par of a bootleg off a Chinese website. Staff was not accommodating, not to mention the icee mechicne is broken. Go to Mall in Coralville If you want a decent experience avoid this single A theater.

I enjoy this theater, they seem to have a few extra movies that you want to see compared to other places in the area. The theater is clean, has plenty of space, and concessions are reasonable enough here.
For me the fact that they seem to make an effort to play different movies that are harder to see in the area is a plus for me.

4.5÷5 — A clean theater, it doesn’t smell funny, nice size screens, comfortable seats, friendly and polite employees, sadly the only theater that shows limited films in Iowa City area; usually a month or so later than the release dates. I just wish that they had real Imax screens, maybe one day.

Good size screens and they usually show decent movies.

Dated, the theatre smells like pee. We went there to watch Harry potter finale in 3D, the glasses they gave out were in clear plastic wrap, not the ones I usually use. They wouldn’t stay on my face, so I have to hold them the entire time. The movie looked blurry the entire time, was it because of the knockoff glasses? The worst part: there was a dead bug shadow on one side of the screen for half of the movie, totally grossed me out. Worst movie experience ever. I should have asked for full refund!

This place has gotten a facelift. More screens, comfy reclining seats–
It even rivals Coral Ridge! They even serve White Castle burgers! I don’t think they even have White Castles in the rest of Iowa.

This theater seems to have all the new movies! The concession stand is usually clean, the restrooms are usually clean and the theater is usually clean. The seats are not designed to cuddle BUT they are big and comfortable. Essentially they are better built for action films! The theater is divided into two parts. The old 6 and the new 6. If your movie is in the expanded part of the theater, you’ll be much happier. I have no complaints with the older side but the new screens look better and sound amazing!
