    For $320, see all the movies you want plus free popcorn over a whole year. If you love movies, that's the deal of the century.

    Best theater in Columbus! Get a duet membership! Also, go to see movies 🎥 that are independent mainstream art house foreign, it doesn't matter!

    An independent theater. It's expensive - $10.50 - and has theaters with as few as 20 seats. An asset to the town where you can see docs and music films that you'd otherwise not see in Columbus.

    If you park in the adjacent garage, you can pay for parking when you buy your movie ticket.

    Lots of independent films play here. They sometimes have Miyazaki movie nights and play interesting cult classics.

    Get in your seat 20 minutes before your showtime to see Columbusland! Funny pre-show talking local and movies, unlike anything in the country... and I'm in it!

    I once watched vintage porn here on the big screen, on my birthday. If you have a chance to watch vintage porn with 50 other people in a theater, do it

    Thanks again gateway for another half-assed projection watching a Midnight showing of The Visitor in screen 7 while the audio from another screen or maybe the shitty music in the lobby bleeds in.

    Very cool deal - pay something like $300 and see all the movies you want for free for the next year!

    Theatres and screens are VERY small and fill up quickly. If you get dizzy sitting in the front row, get here early or go elsewhere.

    Better prices than Lennox. Lots to do nearby. Always a good choice for a movie.

    Their tastes aren't the same as mine, but you can't beat the membership prices if you are an avid moviegoer.

    Good for indie movies. Old school screenings. Long line on weekends. Ugly Tuna rabble beware.

    Don't bother seeing 3D movies here those cheap asses keep the light bulbs below the required brightness saving them $ but causing a less then stellar presentation that's not worth your $.
