  • Kristen Stewart

Service was horrible!!!! The staff were unprofessional and unpleasant. We hosted an event here and staff treated me and our guest horrible. This location will no longer get my service. The seats were uncomfortable not the recliner kind. I did like they had a nice bar and a variety of food options.

  • Darlene Jackson

Went to this neighborhood theater to see John Wick 4. Enjoy the movie... the theater was very clean, and the tickets were moderately priced. Didn't care for the cheese popcorn... it wasn't very good or very fresh... overpriced and a waste of money. Decent movie theater, just skip the popcorn...

  • Yusef Brown

This neighborhood theater has really taken a turn for the worst. Unclean. Terrible customer service. They have vendors in the hall ways selling merchandise. It used to be a much better theater when it was under the old management. Such a shame

  • Juanita Williams

I remember when this location use to be SMG and was amazing. Now, don’t even waste your time. They show you commercials with no picture and only sound. Then when I went to inquire about it, the lady at the concession stand told me the movie

Needs improvement. Box office was closed, yes closed. How is that even possible? The self-serve kiosks were all broken. You have to purchase your tickets online; I used Fandango. Then you get a confirmation number, no barcode or QR code for

  • candy W

I will say my visit was horrible and ghetto. When you walk in there are no individuals greeting you and you have to purchase your own ticket. Ypu have no clue who or what is coming in because anyone can get in with a gun or whatever weapon.

This theater would have got more stars but they were short staffed. Most of the drinks at the stations were out and there were kids talking and playing during the movie and the food wasn't good. The regular popcorn was good but the cheese

  • Kitt Scott

2 stars for the teenagers and kids but mostly the disruptive teens who show up and talk, talk, oh and talk during the whole movie from the time they sit down until they are forced to leave by security and that’s only if security can catch

  • Darryl Nelson

Chatham theater was terrible today. Get there ticket machine's were down. The line was almost to the door to get tickets I get up to the concession stand to get popcorn did not explain to me that there was no butter like no butter really.

  • Sami Iman

Look the service was great! The staff where helpful. But the place itself… the floors are sticky, the bathrooms are a MESS… and the actual theater I was in to watch the movie was HOT!!! So hot that I couldn’t properly enjoy the movie. And

  • Stephen L. Carter, Sr.

The movie house would be better served & attended if they used their very expansive Marque to post movies & show time. With the tremendous vehicular traffic from HomeDepot & the many stores in its proximity, their frugality loses me from

  • Darlesia Vestal

Take the family out! We've all purchased bootleg movies before or received one as a gift, however, screw that and take that family back to the movies! This theater has some of the cheapest movie prices, food, drinks, etc..I went down the

  • Jessica Leake-Covington

Highly recommend. Star who I think is over special events make this place my go to for all incentives at my school. She is kind, understanding, and flexible. The theaters are very nice as well. Thanks Star for everything this school year.

  • Jacqueline Gibson

Decent theater, horrible sanitation in women's rest room! The tissue roll was on top of the tissue holder and 1 left on the sink! There was no soap and it looked like they never mopped at all ever! Covid is real and although the theater

  • j Love

What a GREAT improvement!! My family have been coming to this theater for years... Due to changes over the years ( almost empty nester) lol my adult children have venture out on their own in different venues of theater however just this

  • Kelly Keel

I’ve seen at least 6 movies here this year and not a single one in peace. Other reviewers have mentioned mess; yes, it’s dirty, sticky, gross etc. It’s worse that movies can’t be enjoyed because of constant disruptions from other movie

  • Lisa Swan

I have to admit that my expectations were low, but was pleasantly surprised by this movie theatre. It was clean and affordable. I went during a matinee, so I’m not sure if the snack prices were the regular ones, but they were amazingly

  • R V

I had a great time seeing Sound of Freedom at this theater. I had some questions about the bar and food selections and Antonio was very knowledgeable about all the products his theater had to offer. He was very nice and had all of the

  • Dawn Smith

Horrible Horrible!! Never again!! Went to see Retribution so this is very recent. The theater was nasty! Popcorn everywhere...tables sticky and garbage can full of trash. Pop area...icee/slush machines sticky and juice everywhere.

  • Fitzgerald Sinclair

Pay your staff so they're happy to be there, the theater itself was okay, dated projector but very serviceable, uncomfortable seats, larger than average, worse sound, but it was empty so that was nice, please clean your bathrooms.

  • Queen

This is my go to for a local neighbor theater nice and clean. Great food and drinks. The bartender is awesome the cocktails are worth it. I take my grandbabies there at least twice a month to what ever is out.

  • Jenice Murphy

My first visit, the theater was clean, and the young lady at the concessions was. My only issue I think they should offer smaller popcorn sizes for kids and adults who may want a smaller size. Will revisit..

  • Mary Ware

Great moviefood, cocktails available, theater space and seats comfortable and clean, plenty of free parking, wide movie selection. Staff efficient and courteous. Many kiosks for automated ticket purchases.

  • Alpha Bruton

I went here for the Flip the Script screening of the 2023 Fellowship program new directors. TRUE Star booked the entire theater to celebrate. Only African American-owned movie theater in South Chicago.

  • Veronica Cervantez

Food was Good also had a Lemon Drop drink from the Bar area. Manager was Super cool always helping out. Not busy for a Saturday night. Enjoyed the movie with my 2 teens and loved the Reclining seats!

  • Ella James

They have changed since last visit 4 years ago. Arrive early if you're not an online ticket holder. Two ticket Kiosks are available. Late afternoon the Bar was closed. But still enjoyed the movie.

  • Terrell

It's decent. The free bag of popcorn is really small. I like the Emagine theater in Frankfurt because their popcorn is fresh and warm, and you can put your own amount of butter on it.

  • Ava Ortiz

I had a great experience when coming to this movie theater, the manager Antonio helped me and my family out with food selections and was a great help and I had an amazing experience!

  • Michelle Jones

I went there yesterday just to find out they’re closing permanently. 1-30-24. I’m not sure why though. I was just there with family earlier in the beginning of the month.

  • William Rashed Marshall

They're really doing to much in that lobby. Ok I get the bar thing. However that dj loud music is out of realm. We're going to the movies. NOT THE CLUB.

  • Debbie Mccoy

I like what they did to the theater. The new decor which really isn't new now looks good. The bathroom could use a little more cleaning

  • Sherrell Soriano

They really turned this theatre around. Very nice bar, and small dance floor. They even have days you can go stepping. Really nice❕

  • H Yvonne Thomas

Enjoyed the movie. Always a nice, comfortable experience. Prices are moderate. The parking lot could be maintained a little better

  • M Machelle Whiting

Reasonably priced. Menu options were good. The food was good too. We enjoyed everything except the actual movie, lol!

  • Keepinit100 Everyday

Nice venue but it’s 2023 every establishment should have updated to accept mobile pay now,Apple Pay and Android Pay

  • Mitzi Almaraz

First time here.... No one is at the front desk. The parking lot is dirty but there are plenty of spaces to park.

  • Reginald Sigler

The place was clean and the check in was fast. You can buy tickets online to save you time and select your seat.

  • Diego Anderson

Great, comfortable Family-oriented theatre..also available for private screenings & special events.

  • Natalie B_613

Good Food, good customer service even though they understaffed, and clean theater room.

  • MARY DAMPEER

Enjoyed the Color purple with family on Christmas
