Carmike Morgantown Mall 12

If you want to see a free movie, this is the place. The workers weren’t even paying attention so my friends and I just walked in. The bathrooms were gross. Looks like no one has cleaned them in months. Everything looks like it needs a good scrub down.

The movie theater is extremely dated especially since it’s attached to the mall I would think it would be a bit more updated. Oh well. They serve popcorn and have friendly staff so we will more than likely be back as this is the only movie theatre in Morgantown

Pros: The movie we watched was good. The theatre had nothing to do with that.
Cons: The theatre smelled bad. It was also brutally cold. AC in the summer is nice, but we were relieved to get outside into the heat just to take the chill out of our bones. We spent 63 bucks for 2 adult and 2 kids MATINEE tickets, some crappy stale, greasy popcorn, and a couple of drinks.
Conclusion: Our theatre at home in Fairmont may be a bit of a aged dive, but at least it’s clean, comfortable and affordable for a family movie trip. We will not go back to Carmike unless it’s free, and even then I’ll have to think about it.

I don’t see the hate for this theater… Yes it’s old smelling (like the AC is broke or vents have never been cleaned) and the seats aren’t the greatest… but when you’re going on Tuesdays or a «twilight» weekend show and paying $ 5 its fine.
Between the two in Morgantown neither even comes close to the theaters I’m used to in the Chicago, IL suburbs… there they have recliners, food/​menus/​perfect projectors, IMAX, etc… but this is a college town so w/​e.
I saw Man From Uncle and the 4:20pm start time was really 4:30…6 coke commercials, a Sprint ad, and at least 3 «buy our concessions» later, the trailers started (all SEVEN). The movie really didn’t start until around 4:45…fine for lazy college kids but really annoying for grown adults. Easy fix, just show up later I guess.
All in all not a bad theater, its nice that it’s next to the mall’s food court/​in the mall for fun after, but it makes me miss the theaters back home… especially the ones with multiple beers on tap and couches with restaurant tables… oh and they were $ 5ish too.

Only good thing about this theater is the student discount tickets.
We went to see a movie that was showing at 9:45 and 10:15, we showed up around 10:05 and bought our tickets, then I realized the girl have us tickets to the 9:45 showing. When I asked her to change it, she simply said «you haven’t missed much.»
We never buy snacks or drinks here. Extremely over priced. The theaters are also extremely dirty and sticky.

Yes, this theater does suck, but it makes for a good budget theater.
They have popcorn buckets where you buy a large bucket for $ 13 and can get refills all throughout the year for only $ 3.50. That’s unheard of at most theaters. They also have matinée times and «super matinée» times where tickets are next to nothing.
The theater itself was disgusting. Not very well-​maintained, but what do you expect for a cheap movie theater?

My friend and I were shopping around Morgantown and decided to go see a movie. I checked my IMDb app to see what theaters were nearby. Carmike 12 at the Morgantown Mall was the closest. Firstly, it is located in the wayyy back of the mall and made it very hard to find. When we arrived, we got our tickets and popcorn and proceeded to go to the room showing our movie «Don Jon». Our popcorn had way too much butter on it, it was disgusting. Then, I noticed our theater had a lighting problem. The above lights kept flickering throughout the entire movie, which the lights shouldn’t have even been on during the movie in the first place. The only upside to this theater is that it has comfortable seating and great cup holders.

Wow. Not sure what happened to the other reviewers but I have always went to Carmike and experienced at good time. People need to understand that theaters need to make money to and that is why there are ads before the movie. If you don’t want to sit around and wait for the movie to start then I would suggest doing what other people do and come about 20 minutes late if its not a first run night. Another reason I go to Carmike is at the time Hollywood wasn’t showing movies in digital format. Hollywood was still using film. Once you watch a movie in digital format it is impossible to go back to old school style film. As soon as you walk in the theater there is a huge LCD display showing what films are available. They even offer movie posters that you can take home for free. Carmike is also cheaper for students than Hollywood. I also believe there prices for general admission tickets are cheaper also. Carmike Cinemas has a promotion called «Stimulus Tuesdays» where they offer $ 5 tickets no matter what time it is, and $ 1.50 popcorn and $ 1.50 soft drinks.

This is in the back of the mall. There’s no sign… no advertisement of show times. Unbelievably hard to figure out. When you get there it’s just a typical sad mall movie theater. Tevs… but f’real… it’s like they don’t want to you find them.

We will NEVER step foot in this theater again.
We bought tickets for a movie that was advertised as starting at 7 pm. Instead, they showed previews and commercials for almost a HALF HOUR! A couple of the ads even sneakily tried to trick you into thinking they were the start of the movie but nope, just another obnoxious AD.
We walked out at 7:26 and had to argue with the rude manager before finally getting our money back and leaving.
A few previews? Fine. A half-​hour of them plus commercials, all at earsplitting volume? That is abusive and obnoxious. Never again.
