Newer place with stadium seating. Prices were average. Pick your own seats when you buy tickets seems to be the norm in the new larger franchises. Movies we selected were not packed in. Concessions were up to par with freshness and as usual we spend more on that than the actual movie tickets but hey got to get the whole theater experience . All in all, even though it s a drive from where we re currently located I know we ll be back when the new movies come out.

We rarely see movies when they first land in the theaters these days, but I was itching to see the 2019 version of Disney's The Lion King and hubby granted my wish on a whim - no planning required. It was every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be 25 years after the original. Hakuna Matata!

Not happy with this visit and probably never will use this theater again. Took my 3 kids to watch the new lion king, kids age from 4 years to 8 months. Got half way threw the movie and my 8 mo daughter got fussy and started to whine a little bit. The manager came in and was very rude to us, told us we had to leave cause of the crying and then proceed to talk about us as we are walking out with another worker. Went back in to get our money back and the same manager told us that if we didnt leave then she would call the cops on us. All I can say is this was the last we will ever go there. Plus the place was very filthy. Toilets clogged to the brim in used pee water, trash and popcorn everywhere.

This is a overall nice clean theater but it seems to be run poorly by the teenagers that work there. They sold tickets to an adult knowing that they were for kids not old enough to watch the movie and then when the kids went to go in to watch the movie the attendant wouldn't let them in without a ID to prove their age. They didn't get to watch the movie but they would not refund their money either. Something don't seem right about that to me about that. Did they think they could just keep their money? If they didn't want to let them watch the movie then they shouldn't have sold the tickets for that movie. Turns out that the snotty attendant didn't like one of the girls that was gonna watch the movie. Teenage drama!!! WAKE UP MANAGEMENT AND HIRE MORE GROWN UP PEOPLE THAN THAT.

I would much rather wait and spend money on a dvd than to spend money to be forced into sitting near someone who's going to ruin the experience for me. Assigned seating was the worst idea.

This place is very nice clean, and some of the workers are friendly. But I would like to say I've seen people just enter and not paying for ticket really need to make the workers pay attention there.

I used to really like Marquee Cinemas, but they've recently started making people sit in assigned seats and I'm not a big fan of that. Usually, that's something they do in bigger cities and for them it makes more sense, but for Beckley I just don't feel like we have the population to justify that. I would understand if they did it on the opening night of a movie, when they know it's going to be crowded, but I don't see the importance of doing it always.

It's very cold can you turn the heat up where the movie takes place and it's a very nice place but it's very cold every time I come I have to bring a hoodie and a blanket. But very nice place

Assigned seating is for the birds! One of the fun things about going to the movies was picking your seat.
Get seated beside of Mr and Mrs STINKY, and you cant breathe much less enjoy your very expensive family or date night!

No I didn't care for this theatre. You pick a seat from the computer when you go in and then spend to much time looking for it once your inside. Movies are first run, but guess I got spoiled at the theatre in Lewisburg.

Nice.

I grew up in Beckley and the surrounding areas and always enjoyed going to the movies. I used to go to the Crossroads Cinemas when they were at the Crossroads Mall and to the Raleigh Cinema at the Raleigh Mall. It was a good time for the whole family and a quite affordable one, too. However, as of late, it has become so expensive to even consider going. When it costs a family of four $37 just to get in the door to watch a 2d movie, I'd have to say that is ridiculous! Not only that but it costs an additional $20-$40 for refreshments. Parents can easily assess they would spend anywhere between $40-$80, if not more for a trip to see a movie!
No wonder so many people are avoiding the theaters like they have been and choosing to wait for the movie to come out on DVD! Another reason a lot of people no longer go is due to poor customer service and overall cleanliness of the facility. The floors are always sticky. The seats are filthy and torn and need to be replaced. I remember when I would visit Crossroads Cinemas, be it with family or friends, before the movie was even finished, there would be a theatre attendant standing outside the door with broom and dustpan in hand ready to clean the area before the next showing began. Very rarely did I ever go into that theater and there be a mess that was not being attended to. The staff was friendly and seemingly enjoyed their job, too. Unlike now.
I'm not saying that everything about Marquee Cinemas is bad nor do I expect that everyone will agree with me on my opinion and that is ok. I will still go there myself from time to time to enjoy a movie, but if it were more affordable to go a lot more people would go more often. I hope this helps!

You know what made seeing Avengers: Endgame a truly unique experience? The klanking, squeaky fan vent in the ceiling of the theater. Nothing like a rusty squeal during the quiet, heart felt moments of the movie. Here's a little tip: Get it fixed.

The seats and screen resolution here are good. Never had a problem with the staff and when we went, the employee at the concession stand was very helpful. One reason for the four stars is they leave some lights on while the movie is playing. Also, the theater could use a little sprucing up.

Different theater rooms have different levels of audio. Some near or at reference level, others far below that. So if you get some talkers, you're going to hear them easily. They don't always get the 'dead black' curtains right. I've seen a movie that was formatted 1:79:1, and the top/bottom of the movie was projected on the curtain! Or a 2:39:1, and they don't roll the curtain at all.

Very clean, very nice place. Tickets are a bit on the higher side. Matinees are 8.50, compared to lewisburgs 6$. Not to mention no early bird anymore either. Granted, moviepass helps tremendously with this. I do really like this place, but it could easily be made better. Like 'Force awakens,' they did actually adjust the audio higher when I asked. But 'civil war' they didn't touch it after I asked. Between everyone talking in the theater, it was tough to hear the dialogue.

Surround sound was not working and it was extremely muffled. The air was not on for what seemed like the whole movie, it got very stuffy very quickly. I will not be returning to this theater anytime soon.

We went to see I can only imagine. The place asked were we wanted to sit did not like that. I want to pick my seat when I get in the movie theater not before. But it was a little pricey for an early viewing. The place was clean and the staff friendly.

Overpriced and staff is hit and miss. Fun theater atmosphere. Ideal location as the focal point of a small, triple-sided strip mall. Seating is elevated on each row so you never have to worry about sitting behind a tall person. Easy to find.
