Reviews of Bright Star Cinemas (Movie Theater)

Shay G

the lines were too slow, missed half the movie.

Kevin Allen

It was warm and the ticket atten to wasn't very helpful

Greg L

Heavily over-priced. Go to Greenville or Mt. Pleasant. 51.00 for popcorn candy and sodas.

This is a very nice theater for being so small.

Todd Pitt

Kinda odd picking a seatbefor you get inbut love thenew theater

Harlan Bearden

I really like the remodel, the new seats are great! They have a nice food selection as well. Only gripe I have is the picture quality was slightly off on the screen I was watching, more noticable in light scenes than dark. I'd definitely recommend it.

This was my first time to see a movie since the theater has had the upgrade and name change. I thoroughly enjoyed the new theater seating. The chairs are so comfortable and make viewing such a pleasure. There is plenty of legroom as the chairs recline and can be adjusted in several different angles. The seats are also wide that I could have my purse sitting beside me on either side and the tray table that slides in front was a bonus I wasn't expecting. The movie screen was sharp and clear, greatly improved since my last review. I really enjoyed seeing a movie thanks to the updated seating and other touches. Added bonus....still affordable. $8.00 for full price ticket.

Bill Wilder

Love the new seating. I'm also happy to see that they always have hot food available. Just beware of sitting too close as there are fewer seats.

Mary Drew

Love the seats. Very comfortable. Friendly service and great tasting popcorn and drinks.

Tye

it's good. Love the new decor!

Stephanie Benton

Spacious... Live the chairs

Kim Green

I'm in love with the chairs. Good social distancing. It was a little too cold in there for me, but I wore a hoodie.

Maegan Ashcraft

Great price. $7 for an adult. And the seats are so comfortable. Its like a recliner. Feels like watching a movie at home, only its on a big screen. Concessions are a little high but I guess it evens out on ticket price. This is my new favorite theater.

Mark Bateman

Amazing theater! What a great job they did on the renovations. And the SEATS!! Wow! Just wow!! The seats are so comfortable. I mean, the BEST EVER!!! Not once did any of the 4 of us ever have to 'adjust' ourselves. They are quite roomy too. even better than sitting at home on the couch. They recline to a perfect position and even have a tray to put your items on. Even the armrests are crazy comfortable!! The screen size was just right and the sound was very good and clear. No distortion or overly loud settings. From the 12 year old to the 65 year old, we were all quite content and comfortable. We will definitely be going back for every one of our movie nights.

Loved the remodel. Electric Reclining seats were awesome. Plenty of room to get in and out without disturbing others. ????

Joshua Dollar

One of my favorite theaters. With the new recliner seats it's incredibly comfortable. The picture and sound quality is good and the ticket prices are a bit cheaper than average. I prefer this theater to any of the ones in Tyler.

Nice seating. Pricy concessions.

DemonKnight

totally revamped theater. Matinee prices for an online ticket were 5.95 total. Large soda was 5.00 which is entirely reasonable. Limited movie availability as it is a small theater. reclining chairs.

Shawn Bryan

Really friendly staff, extremely clean environment, ultra soft reclined leather seats, excellent sound (deep bass, nice EQ) and a really nice screen made for a great experience! We will definitely be back as often as they have movies that we want to see. I really hope COVID doesn't put them out of business, come support this great establishment! 5 Stars!

Brian Miller

Bessie Smith

Would have given them 5 but the cashier kept our change and we didn't realize it til we got back to Tyler area...11$ is alot of money to working students...to much playing around the cash register was the problem...I think the cashier was counting on us getting sick if standing waiting..but the reclining seats are first class.

james conner

Very nice since the update by the new owners few years ago A plus????????

Julie Wilson

L Karma

This place is fabulous. All the renovations are wonderful! Best seats & very friendly staff!!

Andy Smith

Super nice, very good prices. Popcorn is great. Outstanding service.

Mark Collins

After they have renovated the, it's a great comfortable place to watch a movie, I was on the original general electrical crew that built the theater, it took us 11 months and it wasn't quite as Comfortable as it is now back then after being finished.

Donna Turner

Super nice people. Great chairs, very comfortable. Had an enjoyable experience.

Scott Pumphrey

The recliners are GREAT!!! Unfortunately, people still taking their phones out in the movie as they do ring. Regardless, I would still give it four stars if they would just get buckets for the large popcorn order! Sticking your hand into a bag just to get butter oil (much needed!) up your arm isn't for us. Just can't watch a movie without popcorn so we won't be coming back. Went back. Still a problem with the stupid bags and them dripping butter everywhere! And today the theater we were in didn't have any AC - everyone was hot! Halfway through the movie I went out and told some people that work there, but nothing was done. Pitiful!

Foody4 Life

My family reserved seats at the back and very much enjoyed how they reclined while watched the movie. It was a wonderful experience.

McKenna Wood

The chairs are soooo comfortable and they recline. Also the bathrooms are always clean.

Jud Chappell

We were able to reserve specific seats online. Concessions was a little slow but not bad. Seats reclined electronically and video/sounds were great. Bathrooms were clean.

John Van Pelt

New theater is great...first class seating and sound . Nice to stay in town to see a movie in new theater

karsen mcclain

Staff was nice and lines are never to long

Nolan Dunlap

Had a great time at this Cinema. The popcorn was fresh and the best part was the comfortable electric recliner seats. The staff was also helpful and friendly.

Tish Edwards

Not really that great..it's new...but took my son there Friday to watch Jumanji..movie started 25+ minutes late...took an additional 10 for employee trying to figure out closed captioning for guest beside us..never got it working. Family was going to see Star Wars movie today..not a big Star Wars fan chose another movie just because didn't want to spend Christmas alone...got there at 2 bought snacks 30+ minutes later told movie wasn't working could have pass for another movie or get pass for Star Wars but couldn't be redeemed for 2 weeks due to almost being sold out. Kind of disappointed

hose spiers

Nice and clean

Mary Lauren

Was very nice and comfortable after their remodel

Marco Sandoval

So one of the staff sold us seats that didn’t even exist. So what they was removed from the movie theater in the middle of the movie. And didn’t even have the audacity to apologize. This is the most embarrassing experience I’ve ever had and I will never come back again you can thank the Hispanic manager lady with glasses and her horrible staff that couldn’t apologize.

Cassandra Gutierrez

Love their new SEATS

Kevin Bell

The end of the movie just blacked out on us and nobody fix it

James Bryan

Justin Brown

Love the remodel

Kristi Smith

I liked the chairs are very comfy

Val Vetter

A great smaller "multiplex", it offers first-run movies at reasonable prices and is laid&back enough to be very enjoyable. Get there for a "matinee" showing. (Before 5pm) and pay only $5 - pretty amazing for this day and age! The usual selection of popcorn, drinks, candy, nachos will likely cost you more than admission - but that's pretty standard these days. Digital technology makes movies very clear, bright, and easy to hear. We tried a 3-D movie last trip ("Mission: Impossible") and it was much better than the old 3D offerings. $2 extra for 3D movies BTW. The place is kept very clean and there are no sticky floors here that we've noticed. Update - 12/29/19 After the renovation and upgrade to reclining seats. MUCH reduced seating - only 6 rows of 15 seats each (wheelchair seating may affect that.) Bit these theatres always seemed to have much less that full houses anyway. We saw same arrangement in a Chicago theater - so this must be the "new" arrangement. Having to pick out your seat seems strange, but that also seems to be the thing these days. You can buy and choose seats online - but there is a $2.00 "convenience" fee. I knocked off one star because even though we attended an early show, they were totally out of bottled water. They wanted to charge us $5 for a large cup of tap water. "Charge for the cup" they said.

donnie massey

Had a good time

Hannah Stone

David Willett

Love this theater. Been here a couple times while I have been in town and its better than the ones in my hometown.

Marc Maxwell

Recently Renovated. Great recliners and sound systems!

Allison Libby-Thesing

The newly refurbished movie theater is great. The chairs are comfortable and purchasing tickets is easy, on line or in person at the booth. You can preselect your seats to make social distancing easier. They change the movies out quickly so if you are looking for a new release be sure to go within the first week.

Lisa Gideon

Love our updated theatre.

Velta Bird

The new renovation are great. The ticket line was fast and helpful. The concession line was long(but tell me what movie theater concession line isn't long) but moved quickly and they were very nice. The new seats are wonderful. I could have taken a nap in the seat. 5 stars!

Juan Rodriguez

ann morgan

We went two weeks inn a row and were disappointed that the 1 o’clock matinee was not showing. It seems this nice new theater has done away with the early matinee. So it’s back to the Mt Pleasannt cinema for us. Too bad.

David Hayes

It was a good and clean atmosphere

Jessica Gober

Finally got to go to the Bright Star Cinemas since it was remodeled and I was very impressed. What a great asset to the community. I could have stayed all day in those chairs! It was very clean. 10 Stars!

David Marlton
