Went here for the first time in nearly 20 years. I wanted to go to one of the AMC theaters, but the matinee time was available at this theater. The concession workers were nice and your ticket gets validated so you get free parking which was a pro, and the restrooms, lobby and theater was nice and clean. But the con was the feature with the projection on the big screen. I really could've saw this at home, but I wanted to support this feature. The other con I didn't like my food item that I wanted a refund on. I had to wait for the manager and they/them wouldn't grant it. I would recommend Living Room Theaters, Kan Kan, or the newly Alamo Drafthouse. This theater is no different than the average theater you could go to.

Drove 5hrs to watch the 70mm editions of tenet & DUNE 2- I appreciate that parking is complimentary with tix purchase. The concessions and service were excellent. Same crew helped me both days and were excellent. The audio! And theater didn't disappoint. All the extra $ I spent to make it here was worth it. I did not tour any other exhibit or feature of this gorgeous building but I strongly recommend watching a 70mm feature here. Honestly. I'm probably coming back indy to watch dune 2 again. No other way to watch such a movie..

Fabulous screen and sound system. Definitely see anything you can here. Skip the concessions (I only had the popcorn). It was the crappy, dusty salt, super cheap type. For $20 a ticket, the popcorn could use an upgrade.

An incredible viewing experience, boasting one of only a handful of IMAX 70mm projectors. The sound is deafening (when it’s meant to be) and the picture is crisp. Great selection of local beers and typical concessions. Plus they have a rewards program and validate parking! They recently upgraded/updated their seats as well, so now the experience is plush and comfortable for bigger people, too.

Basically no bad seats in the theater, sat far left (C31) and still had a great view of everything, but I can imagine the front two rows might get some strain looking up the whole time. Seats were comfy and most recline slightly, but there is very little leg room for people over 6ft or in situations where people might need to shuffle past. Films generally have no trailers and only minimal State Museum ad clips before starting, our 4:30pm film started only about 10 minutes after posted time. Concessions are the right size considering there's only one screen, but gets backed up when everyone shows up 10 minutes before start time so show up earlier if you want popcorn.

Definitely one of your favorite movie theaters in Indianapolis! They always have a great lineup of movies, and watching them on an IMAX screen with high end sound is incredible. What I like the most is that this movie theater is always clean and never crowded. And the type of folks that come here is mostly adults which makes the whole experience more peaceful and relaxing. A cherry on top is free underground parking (just get a free ticket validation at the concession stand). The only reason for 4 stars is the seating situation. It’s the Frontier Airlines of auditoriums. The seats are narrow and there is no legroom, especially if you’re 6 ft or taller. They also recline easily, so people sitting in front of you can hit your knees (which happened to me, and it wasn’t pleasant). If they can add a few inches between rows, this would be a five star movie theater!
