Montgomery Cinemas — Local services in Montgomery Township

I would love to give this facility five stars because of it's great variety of films, but there are a few drawbacks. There are many movies shown here that you can't really see many other places. This is about the only good thing I have to say. The projection in the theater is not very good. Many times, the place is also very dirty. But above all, the people that work there are the worst. Nearly every time I go to this theater, there are several employees that are extremely rude upon our arrival and do not want to help anyone at all. On top of that, they have their very own alcove in the corner of the concession area where they sit around and watch things on a laptop and THEY DO NOT LIKE BEING INTERRUPTED. I've had to learn this the hard way by getting a very bad attitude from a young lady on several occasions. If they aren't watching something, they'll be on their phones. I have nothing against phones, but you're working and that should not be your priority when you are supposed to be helping people.

Originally opened in 1972-1973, Montgomery Cinemas offers art-house films for the last 49 years! Now, a 6-flex movie theater featuring fully digital conversion, quite comfortable seating, and a Dolby sound system, Montgomery Cinemas is a fully family business operated by a son inheriting it from his father.

The concession stand...

Hands down the worst theater I've ever visited. Seats were uncomfortable (my wife's was broken). Things piled up next to the screen. Short arm tests that are too high with cup holders too small for the drink cups. Funky smell. Something was dangling in front of the screen (thankfully out of the frame). Screen had lines on it & a blotch that has been patched. Service up front was passive. We saw Apollo 11 -- fun fact about the theater is that they haven't done any updates or repairs since that first moon landing. On a positive note, it was a short walk out the front door...
