Reviews of Star Theatre (Movie Theater)

Lance Wells

Nice place not over crowded fair price good seating snacks are little expensive

Alicia Grednuk Alling

Extremely small seating arrangements. Get there SUPER early for a center seat or you're stuck on the sides. Terrible 3D quality and blurry if you're stuck off on the sidelines, not worth going. Rumor has it they're expanding, but they'll probably add more small crappy screens instead of expanding their current seating. I'd suggest taking the 20 minute drive Littleton instead.

Mike Plough

They try so hard here to give you a good entertainment experience. Clean and well kept. Good movies, lots of choices. I drive an hour to go to this theatre.

I work here so this place is my favorite place to be.

What an absolute delight! We drove up to St. Johnsbury solely for the purpose of attending this little movie theater. A co-worker of my husband told us about this place & their one very unique feature: They use REAL Cabot butter on their popcorn. So after driving more than an hour to the Star Theater, we were absolutely thrilled to be greeted by the kindest woman who had a ton of knowledge about the current films showing, and about film history. We had a grand time chatting with her & she had the warmest, most welcoming spirit, even showing great concern about our lengthy drive home & the potential of winter weather. : - ) The theater itself? SPECTACULAR! We see a lot of movies at the theater (averaging 4 per month). We have been to more theaters than I can count or recall. When you come across one like this, it really stands out. The theater was larger than I expected, with more seats than I thought there'd be. The layout is smart, the lighting is sufficient (prior to showtime), and then you get to the best part -- the seats themselves. Holy cow...SO PLUSH! They are seriously comfy. As far as "traditional" movie theater seating is concerned, these are my most favorite ever. I was deliriously happy the instant I sat down. And then it got better -- the armrest, between the seats, folds up/down! What????!!??!! So what does this mean? Well, for one, you can actually snuggle with your date or spouse without that supremely unforgiving armrest bruising your ribcage! You can literally sit side-by-side without any interence, it's terrific. Or, if you're by yourself or with a platonic friend, you can stretch out across two seats. Or if you're seeing a scary movie, you can all protect each other in a huddle! Lol. Point is, this is such a fantastic design feature with so much potential, I know I'm never going to be truly happy in "normal", stationery, typical theater chairs. The next time we make the hour-long drive up to the Star Theater, it won't be for the butter, it'll be for the awesome seats! But I haven't when mentioned the best thing about this little gem....the average movie ticket cost is now over $9/ticket. A full-price ticket (adult, non-matinee) at the Star? $6.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly fell over when I read that on their website (which is awful, by the way; I cannot recommend visiting their website, it's the one & only thing related to this magical establishment that I have nothing good to say about), and the next logical question, for me anyway, is "what about matinees?" A whopping 4 bucks. Yep. $4. And not just matinees, but also seniors. Seniors never pay more than $4 to see a movie here. What else can I say? I'll tell you --- I am now looking at all the other fun activities there are in St. Johnsbury because I want as many excuses as I can find to say "well, since we're here in St. Johnsbury, we might as well go see a movie." ;-)

Melissa Nelson

Awesome prices! Free refills on large popcorns. I would of given 5 stars but way too many local ads prior to movie and not enough previews. I love seeing what movies are coming out for the first 10 minutes. Outside of that seats are decent and I do recommend this theater

Sierra Jean

Cute little theater. Friendly staff. Awesome specials on Tuesdays! Definitely come by!

Shawn Cummings

Older theatre ???? it could use a remodel but it seemed very clean even the ???? restrooms concession stand is a lil pricey other then that employees are GREAT ????

Michigan Girl Adventures

A treasure. Too few places like this left nowadays. Small town movie theatre with a couple screens, cheap tickets and popcorn. I go as often as i can!

Ronald Cushing

A little rough on the outside,but the seats in the theater were amazing. They also have pretty much any soda.

Aurora Love

Great friendly customer service. Great popcorn with real Cabot butter melted and hot. They're very family friendly also!

Brent Gardner

Haven't let me down yet, good customer service, popcorn, theatres clean, bathrooms clean, their seats slightly recline and have cup holders on the arms you can move down or up to get out of your way. Go here.

Bonnie Kirchoff

The 3d movie we watched was great here. The concession stand was not staffed well it was more of a headache to get candy and popcorn..

Lemonation

Close to perfection! Friendly, helpful, great selection of candy & snacks, wonderful popcorn that's fluffy and flavorful, great selection of movies and frequent changeover to keep interest high, quality of picture and sound excellent, plus not too far from home. Great experience!! Thank-you for providing quality experience for movie-goers.

Angela Crowley

Great value. Matinee still $4, regular price only $6.50 (add $1 for 3D). Current movies and soon to add a 4th theater and ice cream shop.

Ari

It was great we were the only two in #4

Nicole Conley

Keep in mind if you go for the late showing: they apparently "shut down our credit card reader at 10:00pm" or so I was told, and there is no ATM in the building. So concessions cannot be purchased after 10pm without walking to the bank at the end of the block. This is 2018, really who does that?! EDIT 5/22/19: I added two more stars for a few reasons: First and foremost, I really appreciate that they seem to have paid some attention to everyone here complaining about the Popcorn, and worked to improve. I recently went to see Avengers Endgame and the popcorn was delicious. I also noticed which I hadn't before that they use real butter, not only that but they use Cabot butter. That says a lot about concern for quality and support of the local economy. They heard our complaints, set to task remedying the problem, and for that I believe reciprocation is in order and I give them 4 stars overall. I will also say that the staff is polite and friendly, the place is kept relatively clean, and prices have always been pretty low respective to the industry.

ANGELA BERUBE

Great locally owned business. First run movies at great prices in both 2D and 3D. Good concessions.

Christopher Lepage

Perfect little three screen theater. The staff is always really friendly and you can't beat the prices. The movies rotate though pretty quickly so pay attention to that. Also, they have $4 movie day on Tuesdays!

Patrick Dowd

It's a good movie theater, but starting to show some signs of age. The seats are comfy and new and have cup holders, the popcorn is excellent, and the prices are reasonable for a movie theater. There's nothing amazing about the theater, but nothing wrong either. I'm excited to see what the new screen is going to be like, which is supposed to open during the summer of 2019.

Dakota Burke

It was a great experience, took my grandchildren 6yr,5yr, 23month & 27month to the paw patrol movie Very clean prices not bad

Isabella Mertens

Love this place, staff are very nice, helpful. Great prices. We now have a 4th cinema come check us out at the Star Theatre you wont regret it.

KristinaCampbell RecoveryInColor's artist

Wasn't overcrowded on these covid time The ???? popcorn was delicious as always! Live our theater ????!

Donna Ellery

Get there early if you want a good seat because there's not many to choose from. Not a place to watch a good movie you've been waiting.

Nathan Carlson

Love star theater! Yes it's a smaller theater but never huge lines or arm to arm seating with strangers. The snacks and candy are affordable at about half the cost of other theaters I've been to. The general manager Ken is awesome!! He's there helping the staff and keeping the "flow" of things going.

Terre Lefler

Staff Are Super Nice and the theatre is always clean never once had a bad experience here and prices are really good!

Merlin Randall

Absolute best popcorn with cabot butter, right? :) Great priced theater. Sometimes i wish there were a bit fewer children's movies, but overall, an important asset to the region. Thanks!

Thomas Dunbar

The seats are comfortable and offer plenty of legroom. The prices are decent. When it's freshly made, the popcorn is amazing- especially with real Cabot butter. I'd love to see other food options like pretzels or corndogs

Mr. Moyet

This is definitely a favorite theatre for my family. The chairs are comfortable. The service is always good and the favorite is the buttered pop corn.

Dan F

Is it even legal to have movie tickets prices below $10? Star Theatre has the best prices I have ever seen at a movie theatre. I mean, $4 matinee? $6 for a regular ticket? In today's trying times, Star Theatre does an amazing job offering a cheap movie night with all the latest releases.

Precious Schulze

Comfortable seating, clean, & nice staff

Melody Emerson

We have been going here for years. The building is clean, the staff are kind and the prices are fair. Absolutely love them!

Samantha Carr

The theater was nice, comfy seats, reasonably priced admission and refreshments. My only concern was the temperature inside the theater. It was HOT!! my entire family was in agreement with me on this. Otherwise, was a great night of family entertainment.

Toby Wambolt

I know it's a cliche that movie concessions are overpriced but wow this was highway robbery. The screens and sound systems are outdated and after a recent public debacle I doubt I will ever spend my money here again.

Susan Peters Russell

I loved the movie that I watched, and I will want to go again. They had excellent service, and even let me order custom popcorn. I approve of this message.

Carmen Phillips

It's a good small town theater, they ran the advertisement reel twice lol...if you're coming in from a big city be aware it's a small theater in a small town. And we love them

Meester Potato

Excellent pricing and state of the art equipment ????

MattackChopper

The only theater left open after covid in our general area!

Everything & Nothing

Cool. This place still uses real butter on their popcorn. Prices are pretty cheap for a 3 movie theater. Seats are decently comfy and spacious. Only thing about the is the lack of upward angle towards to back, meaning if someone tall sits in front of you, you'll want to move. Otherwise throughly enjoyable place with up to date movies.

Gary Petit

Courteous staff, nice cozy atmosphere, seats are comfortable and great prices for movies. You can't beat it. We go there often.

longhorn126

It's alright. Its a bit pricey to get in at night, but its understandable. Day showings are definitely cheaper. Good seating, decent snack selection.

Tim Hodges Sr

I really like this theatre! Good popcorn,seating,pricing! Now that Newport has theatre back, I might not be able to come here as frequently. :( Newport is closer. Thank you Starr theatre for

Aaron Janci

Very nice, small theatre. Good prices. Only issue is the other theater goers, but can't fix rude people.

Sue Welsh

Was fantastic staff were polite, friendly and fast already cant wait to go again

Chris Plitouke

Best service. So friendly. They appreciate your business. Always clean and the best popcorn with loads of real butter. I drive extra miles past other theaters just to come here.

Chad Neilson

Great prices. The staff can be a bit cranky when it's busy, but they usually have a decent selection for the three cinemas.

Russell Hayes

It was very clean, did not make me worry about rona at all staff was friendly

CJ Sanville

Great Theatre! First time i’ve been back since covid began and I found staff is polite, popcorn had free refills, and they have extra butter for your popcorn! All around best theater around.

J Hartness

I love this place! I mean what's not to like! There's awesome movies, the popcorn is buttery and light, the seats are comfy, they give out all kinds of candy and they have a variety of sodas. And the best part: The tickets aren't to pricey. It's awesome cause you can spend a minimum of 15-20 bucks when at this movie if you spend them wisely.

Andrew Lavelle

Prices to get in are great, but some times the popcorn taste like left over popcorn , food is alil high! Oh well it not as high price as other theaters! Go Star theater, great job!

Laurie Fenoff

I like coming to this theatre. They have good popcorn with optional melted butter on top. Their prices are good, specifically the matinee. Bathrooms aren’t special but usually clean enough. They just got new chairs not too long ago that are decent. Good place to bring the kids!

Rhonda Perron

I had fun. Seen the movie "Come play".The admission price was very fair, however the small popcorn was $3.75 and wasn't the greatest but my chickens will eat it. Lol. So obviously we're in the midst of a pandemic with coronavirus going on so we were the ONLY people in the theater tonight. I personally loved it! No crowds and had the place to ourselves. The 2 staff members were friendly and very professional. The movie itself however, no thanks. Will definitely pick a R rated movie next time for a horror movie. The theater itself was very clean. The screen and sound was perfect! I recommend them and would definitely go again.????

Debra Taylor

Tickets are inexpensive, especially matinees. The popcorn gets covered in real Cabot butter with free refills on large soda and popcorn. It's no Cinemax or anything, but it's our go to family night theater.

boxing record

Better than some movie theaters around here, but its definently one of the lesser movie theaters i've been to, the atmosphere seems a little too open and cheap. I understand you get what you pay for, but if it was a bit darker around there i would have a better experience, and if the walls were painted a darker gray color that would look much better. And its odd that in the theater i can practically see everything.

Travis Plummer

Amazing place with great service. Large popcorns and sodas get a free refill.

Alvin Burnett

I've never left Star Theater unsatisfied with my experience. The staff is very polite. I'll continue making the trip to this theater. You won't be disappointed. Ben Roberts Ben's Yard Care

Ann Shover

I have never been so ashamed of a business in my life. The way they spoke to me for being concerned is beyond unprofessional. Another person expressed their concerns about people dying over this current outbreak and their response was “promises, promises”. They will never get a dime of my money again.

amber Bennett

The Star Theater is great! They have the best ticket prices, the theaters are always clean and the staff is very nice.

Cindy Mckean

Great theater, we travel to St. Johnsbury often for popcorn with real butter, good movies and awesome family memories.

Katie Hildmann

Great ticket prices! $5 matinees and Tuesday nights. Delicious popcorn with optional Cabot butter. You can get you free refill bucket of popcorn to go.

Brenda Bundy

It’s the only movie theater in this area. It’s small but it’s clean and the staff are friendly.

John Repsher

It is a great value. And the films are the same as more expensive options. Well worth tje trip from Barre.

vin lyon-callo

Love Star Theater. Comfortable and usually pretty clean. Staff is great.

Caitlin O'Connor

The sound is good it's like you're actually where the movie is

Bobbie-Jo Davis

Great theater and affordable prices.

Pamela Cook

Great small theatre with good pricing in these pandemic times we live in. Staff is very friendly

Malinda Gallagher

3d movie. Place was clean and prices were very satisfactory. Much more friendly to the budget than other local movie theaters. We saw Captain Marvel in 3D. It was thrilling and a must see. Wait until after end credits for more insight to other marvel movies coming out.

Michael B

Great prices, usually a good selection of movies and pretty comfortable seats. Totally worth repeated visits.

justin call

Friendly staff. Clean theater. Affordable prices. Will definitely return.

Jacquelyn Kuszak

Peaceful, comfortable, clean and relaxing place to take in a movie. Absolutely loved it and is where we are going to go from now on.

Brenda Lowther

I never really really recognized how uncomfortable the seats were. Until, They installed those awesome new seats. And I love that freshly made popcorn. But, one thing i'm sick and tired of is that dumb auto savers group commercial at every movie. But, It also does save me time in case if i'm late. And, They have great pricing there. So, I'm gonna give my rating a 4.
