Reviews of Marcus College Square Cinema (Movie Theater)

Cat J

For a theatre, not badprice. Comfy seats. Good quality movies.

Shar Roorda

I was really disappointed ???? there seats were stained the floor was sticky the lights were not dimmed and I couldn’t even hear ???? this place is trash warning ⚠️ do not come hear

Ali Rafi

Let's be honest, it is $5 on Tuesdays and $10 on the other days. So, it is cheap. But the theaters are freaking smelly and the seats stink!!!. They should clean the theaters regularly. Also, it is super dark way before the movie starts...Just for security reasons, I think the lights should be turned on to see people's faces when ads are running.

Tali Stevens

Popcorn was stale and they dont have the ultrascreen or recling seats like crossroads in waterloo.

Jan Davis

Great Place to take kids for a movie experience

Amy Turner

Horrible! Horrible! Machines were down and no manager on duty. Staff rude and couldn't figure out how to print movie tickets then told us the wrong theater. Finally found the right theater and it is full of garbage from previous movie. Went to get popcorn and tried to use reward points, staff couldn't figure out how to apply them to my purchase. Never coming here again!

tech king

Fun place

Kaitlyn Gebel

12/10 would recommend.

Gil Ayala

Saw "Bad Times At the El Royale" with a friend. Comfortable seating with clean floors, not sticky. Good place for a flick.

MegaMikeV

I'll give it 5 stars when they get soda machinesike at Crossroads

Christopher Merck

Five dollar Tuesday and Thursday night movies (Thursdays only if you're a college student). I saw Captain America: Civil War on opening night for 5$. How can you beat that?

Destiny sherwood

Every tuesday is 5$ a person! Had a great time, watched the new sonic

Judy Kampman

Enjoy the faith based movies they have...great staff

Suzette Miller

Outdated seats need to be replaced. Whole place needs updated.

crow killer

Great staff

Mendacii

Staff rocks seats rock (literally) service alao rocks. Nothing bad about this place! Great theater!

Alex Huibregtse

Needs dreamloungers

Susan Brackett

Comfortable seats. Volume wasn't too loud. Free refill on our large popcorn.

Chantal Craft

Fun place to take the kids. The theater is smaller than others I have been in but it also isn't generally all that busy when we go in. The times that I have gone the theaters seemed clean and neat. Slightly outdated but over all a good experience.

Northeasy Iowa Outdoors

They sell assigned seats but the sold out theater is dark when you enter, seats are not clearly marked, some are crossed up, some have no marking at all. Imagine the chaos! It shouldn't be difficult but Marcus has made it difficult. It would be so easy to fix but I'm betting that it won't be.

nick Galtman

Great environment

Tonya South

Bathrooms were awful. Need checked more often

Mertag 770

Very empty and kind of dirty. Go to the waterloo one if you have a choice.

Jason Bock

It's fine. One of the older Marcus theaters I've visited in the last several years. Sat in a non-stadium auditorium, which I didn't even realize was a thing anymore. At the end of the day, you're still sitting in a big room watching a movie, so what's the difference, I suppose.

Justeen Hill

Sure wish they'd update their seating to have reclined seats, but the customer service is always pleasant.

Calvin Hansen

A very rude 9 foot man who wore a trench coat despite it being June was making loud comments like a child through my viewing experience. I do not understand who let him in but all that matters now is that he’s not let back in.

Ken Simmerman

many screens but facility is in need of a refresh.

Hanna Nuss

We always have so much fun for our day out at the movies. Loved watching Frozen 2 here!

Nathan Lindeman (PonchoLongshank)

Not horrible, but not exceptional either. I prefer the other theater complex across town.

Eric Thiele

Older theatre with decent prices. Location could use a remodel/upgrade.

Marlena F

Love the early specials

Deborah Greymoon

Nice little theater

Kaiser Strien

I got sick before watching Godzilla (I really wanted to see this movie) and had to go home. They offered me a FREE movie ticket anyway. How friendly! They are so nice! Do come if u have the chance!

Christopher Moressi

Only close place t o see a movie

Rebekkah Coffman

We really loved it

Tom Jennings

Mens restroom a mess, towel bracket broke open, one person trying to do it all, theater a mess, computer not working, cash register not working they need more help

Joseph Tibbs

Comfortable seating and good sound (in my opinion) with, I think, 12 screens. I've never had to worry about ordering tickets ahead of time, because even the busiest nights rarely sell out completely. Four stars because I think that, for an Iowa movie theater, the tickets are pricey; however, if you're a UNI student and go on Thursdays, tickets are $5!

Curt F.

Enjoy this theater, close to home for me, good place to catch a movie with wife and kids. Just wish had reserved seating like other local Marcus theater

Lisa Kuo

Makes me sad to say this but it’s in shambles. I hope they get remodeled. I’d give zero stars if possible.

Benjamin Shores

Decent theater. Clean and comfortable.

Heather King

Tuesdays are great with the price only being$5.00. Being a member the discounts are worth it

Dawn G

No one cleaned the theater at the Rocket man movie. Only a handful of people but was still gross! Movie was good, popcorn was ok

Cinnamon Toast

Good

Student Connection

I am so glad they hosted "free Burma rangers".

Linda Davenport

Counter service was fast and courteous. Bathrooms were clean.

Dawn Abernathey

Clean. Friendly service. Pricey snacks.

Nora Kischer-Browne

Theater 6 has a dark spot in the middle of the screen, and the normal theater seats are not as comfortable as I'd like

Raymond Dixon

Plenty of leg room and comfortable seating. A widevrange of movies to chose from.

Levi Moore

Clean

Chris Sweet

Decent theater, has lounge seats in some of their theaters.

Thomas Herzmann

Great value for the entertainment.

Cody Ciesielski

Great theatre

Jozsef Gitta

Great movie theater. treats are expensive though.

Matt Zinnecker

I love this theater location. Although the lobby seems a little small compared to the Marcus theater in Waterloo, it is easy to shop and eat while being right near the cinema. There is no Ultrascreen though.

Lisa Colbert

Good theater movies with the good

Jason Groom

Compared to the Waterloo theater, it feels a bit dirty, outdated and old. Not a bad place, but should not be as pricey as the Waterloo theater, when it isn't nearly as nice.

shannon green

It's a theater and it's nice and clean inside.

Seth Neal

Seems like this theatre needs to invest in some updates and catch up with the times a bit. It was a perfectly adequate place to watch a movie, and they have relatively fair prices. However, front desk/lobby/concession area is lacking in space and employees, and the chairs aren’t the most comfortable.

Makii

I've Am Amazed, My heart is full and so emotional

chris pont

Love the atmosphere

Curt Toppin

Fairly standard movie theater. Staff was all very friendly, seating area was clean. 5 dollar Tuesdays are great!

Dennis Goodyear

Kind of small, but good enough.

Jim F

Can't beat $5 movie night on Tuesday! They also offer some nice food specials.

Dallas Dickerson

The lights are on a little too much to be fully immersed in to the movie, but otherwise it's your average movie theater. Seating was more comfortable than some theaters I've been to throughout my life.

Tommy Ogle

Good

Matt Heckroth

Really need some updates

Luke Gibson

Good place and great pricing on early shows especially.

Arden Brookman

Decent crowds, and the prices are dropped. Tickets are $5 if you go to the early show.

Steve Burrell

Dated and worn out. Theaters are poorly temperature controlled. No movie "experience" just over priced mediocre popcorn.

Ben Driscoll

We came a little early to a family movie to which there are usually commercials and music and things of that nature that play before the movie. Usually this is not an issue but today they played a music video of some lady with her shirt completely undone and her bra and brests were visible through the whole video. This is especially disturbing for me and my boys as I am trying to raise them in a manner to not lust after women. I will not be coming back here again unless this is resolved. The video was named excuses or your mama raised you better than that. Disgusting.

engineerNme

Snack prices are just too darn high. Movie theaters are declining. They better wake up.

Jacob Thompson

Decent location, film selection, and service. Seats, screens and visual quality is a bit dated but still enjoyable.

Alex Tjelmeland

Well kept facilities and nice atmosphere.

Eric Dilley

Absolutely disgusting experience. Started off at the concessions.. where the MANAGER dropped someones bag of popcorn on the filthy floor.. then proceeded to refill it and gave it to the customer in front of me! If that wasn't bad enough, we get into the theatre and everywhere is trashed. Nothing had been cleaned prior to the showing. This included drinks still in cup holders and popcorn/buckets everywhere. It was absolutely disgusting. I would've gone to the manager to share this feedback.. but then again, the manager was one of the biggest issues.

Josh E.

Yes, there are certainly newer, larger, and more state-of-the-art theaters out there but this one is still pretty nice. Charming and affordable with friendly staff members. I watched several movies here in the summer of 2011 while a student.

Roger Brown

I don't think I'm going to go to the theater anymore. They don't seem to care about enforcing no cell phone or talking rules. It's common courtesy people. There will be plenty of time for that AFTER the movie. /rant

Patrick Mosser

Went to The Lion King it was good.

Christia Diaz

General theatre atmosphere. Clean, friendly. Has small arcade located inside after entering, on right hand side. Snack and concession bar. Pricing varies for snacks. Carpeted throughout bldg. Large restroom facilities generally well maintained. Seating accommodations for handicapped on lower deck platform of theatre close to screen. Lighted steps go up onto larger seating platform for larger movie participant population. Seats are plush and some recline a bit for comfort. Screens are large and easy to see from all angles. In general, a pleasant movie experience for the casual movie-goer.

Matthew Glen Evans

This is a great theater. Decent-sized auditoriums with reasonably comfortable seats. Tickets cost just a little more than you'd like them too, but not so much to seem unreasonable, and the same goes for the concessions. However, if the movie you want to see is showing on the UltraScreen DLX at Marcus Crossroads in Waterloo, see it there instead. You'll pay a couple dollars extra, but it's more than worth it.

Andy Mullinex

Projector bulb was dim the seats were dirty and the theater smelled.

Alyssa Wiedemeier

This theater has good show times and decent prices (when you come on a day that has deals). However, it is very run down. Both signs are in pretty bad shape and it is very representative of the rest of the theater. Climate is often on the colder side so bundle up, but that’s also a marketing trick for making movies more enjoyable, so you can’t really hold that against them. Hopefully the owners and corporate give this theater the love other of their theaters have gotten. The staff is nice and friendly and I always have good service.

Ed Gruenwald

Typical suburban mall theater. Shows seem to run on time and the place is relatively clean. Every once in a while they surprise me with an oddball late movie that is only playing in a few select locations such as the Grateful Dead Meet at the Movies. Thanks for that College Square Theaters!

t schutte

Wasn't here

Sandy Schulte

Wish it had the dream loungers.

Sarah Fisher (Red)

Tuesdays are $5 movie night which is nice. Theater is clean, but sound system could be louder.

Dheepak Guruswamy

Nice place to catch a movie, but the confectioneries are quite expensive than the movie ticket itself.

Ben Wilson

Great movie theater to visit. We go on Tuesdays for 5 dollar movies and use our rewards card for 9 dollar popcorn and drink

M Klaas

I like being in CF but this theater needs some renovations like the Waterloo one. The seats could use an upgrade with the dream lounger chairs and their was a weird damp smell throughout the theater.

Josh Arthur

Awesome movie experience

MrGabrieldeleon

The place is ok. But it is aging. It is ready for remodeling.

Hilda Ostby

Great specials and prices! Good selection of films as well.

Becky Hoeppner

To exspenive

Heather Wilson

Comfortable seating and awesome graphics on screen Love this theater????????????

Randall Folkerts

Nice place to see a movie

JOSEPH KRUGER

I asked for a free refill and when my cups bottoms broke and I asked them for it they said I had to pay for a cup

Matthew Biederwolf

Love the $5 Tuesdays and $5 Thursdays for students. That is a great deal. Not the best entry area, but the theaters themselves are pretty nice.

Heidi Meyer

Why do they insist on keeping SO COLD in theaters!! Not to mention spending 22.50 on 2 tickets and another 22.00 on a large popcorn and 2 pops!!! Give me a break. Could be why we were the only 2 people in the whole theater at 10:00 on a Friday night.

The workers at this theatre are amazing! They care and make sure I have everything I need before I have the best cinematic experience of my life. Great service and a great time, I highly recommend.

Judy Stiers

Love the $5 movie and free popcorn on Tuesdays!

Jackie Furlong

Worst theater ever! It was so dark and out of focus you couldn’t even make out there faces. Never been so disappointed in a theater. Did not enjoy this movie at all.

Daniel E.

I like it

Steve Kennedy

Good seats, close 2 home.

Rick Omar

Horrible business , women named Lori was very rude and unprofessional

Matthew Aronson

Cedar Falls Marcus theatre has good, regular stadium seats, not loungers to sleep in. They keep up with cleaning & maintenance, so it's a good movie experience.

Katrina Carstens

Always have nice staff working. We loved going to Harry Potter on sundays!!

Carmin Stickfort

Theatre and the bathrooms were disgusting! There was popcorn from old visitors everywhere and trash in the cup holders. Bathroom had feminine hygiene products along the floor and only 4 of the toilets were tidy enough to use. I told the manager and the cleaning guy and neither did anything. No wonder College Square is dieing, the place is a dump! For as much money as it cost, you would think they could hire a cleaning crew. Very disappointed.

Craig Rewerts

Nice theater! Comfortable chairs!

Em Linney

Always pleasant staff and clean theatres. Good movie viewing experience.

Lori Erickson

Went to a double feature of sorts..the Mr. Rogers movie and then on to midway...both good movies...comfortable seats..ungodly high concession prices...nearly 15 dollars for a small popcorn and small drink...5 dollars for a bottle of water...10.50 a ticket as well...hardly anyone at these particular movies..and at those prices I can see why...

Heather lo

Great movies

hagoyan

It a preeaty nice place. I don't know what to say it's a movie theater

Robert Pittman

Great theater

Brian Herzog

this theater need major updating. today the movie stopped in the middle of the movie...there are times a urinal is broken...they need a theater with new dream loungers

Carol Gaston

Everything good. Best movie ever:Overcomer!

te patterson

If it were possible to post no stars at all that's how you rate for 1 the rate at which you charge the lemonade without ice should not be watered down 2 if you have a special for a popcorn and a drink maybe you should offer it to your customers rather than letting them pay the higher price ok so I should have seen it but when I order another popcorn for my gd and I point it out you say well you already paid never agn

J Chapin

Every business occasionally has problems, what matters is how management tries (or doesn't) to make things right. When the projector at the midnight release showing of a movie breaks with 10 minutes left, a partial refund is not appropriate, give a full refund (so the patrons can see the end of the movie they already paid for) and hopefully a few coupons for the concession stand to apologize.

Dan Arthur

Marcus theaters Hosted a event for Viking pump and we had to wait in line for 30 minutes for Snack bar, ice's Ran out, This is a second year there was too long a wait.Should have Had extra staff for at least the 1st hour or so! My son went back for a refill because he did not get the icy he wanted the 1st time and we are rewards members with Marcus theaters and he was denied one!

Brandon Smith

Worst theater experience in several years. 3 underpaid employees to handle a Friday night crowd. 20 minute wait for concessions, but they don’t even have butter for popcorn. I can do better at home.

Bartelsdean@aol.com 3192408494

Good movie place to go on Tuesday

Zachary Moye

Love this place. Great movies, great service, great memories. Clean, professional, friendly staff, and kept up building. If you are a local or passing through and get the movie itch, come here!

Lucille Graham

Good price but seats were small for tall people

Stephanie Rowe

Love the longer chairs

Keith Sandvold

Old style Theatre chairs

Austin Dunn

Good movies, cheap tickets, expensive food.

Anthony Henriksen

It's rundown looking. They need to spend some money on. But the staff are friendly

Tina Sierra

Concessions are soo high at these places.

Benjamin McClintock

Love this place. It's close to home and Tuesdays deals are ridiculous! Love their pretzel bites and cheese. Staff are courteous and friendly.

michelle Rasbeck

It's a great theater

Jim Druery

We enjoy the movies and find it clean .

Mary W

Fast service! Popcorn is good. A little cool in Theater.

Jayy

Great Place to watch a movie , Tuesdays are awsome

Charles Reddus

Every thing was fine

Brandt Marburger

Great place.

Sheryl Kinney

Love the new lounge chairs!

Ben Buysse

Awesome service, clean theater, wonderful seats.

T Duncan

Went on a slow night. Very quick purchasing tickets, and the snack bar employees were friendly and efficient. The area to butter your popcorn was a little disheveled. Seating in the theater was comfortable, but the temperature in the building was pretty cool, almost uncomfortably so.

James Thompson

Great place

Danica Wilcox

Great experience.

Sara Tumath

Well, the movie we went to was funny. I've got to say, this place isn't what I remember. The toilets in the bathrooms are disgusting. Partitions have crazy dust build up. Seating in the theatre should be updated to bistro because they are extremely uncomfortable. 5$ movie Tuesdays are always a plus. Too bad that the Tuesday snack deals are only for members..they should really say MEMBERS TUESDAY SNACK DEALS, instead of Tuesday snack deals. Misleading advertising, which makes people spend 15$ more than they were intending too. Overall experience, won't be going back.

Kristi Hanson

I love it there

Vincent Mossman

(Translated) $ 5 Tuesdays for students. Very good. (Original) $5 Tuesdays for students. Muy bueno.

Brian Pfaltzgraff

Great experience, but the management is now assigning seats in the auditoriums. Hmmm

Daniel Thomas

Ticket prices are so high, I don't go to movies much anymore. But the fancy recliner seating is very nice.

Dean N

Love it. Great staff and services. This is the only place I go to see local movies!

Justin Penwell

Like the dream loungers.

Lindsay Struble

When I drop that kind of cash just to get in the door with my kids, I expect some level of comfort. It was about 55 degrees in Auditorium 2 at tonight's visit. We were so distracted with how cold we were that it was hard to enjoy the movie. Funny thing is, I asked the staff to correct this issue before the movie even started, but to no avail. I had to step out into the lobby and the bathroom throughout the movie to warm up as it was at least 10 degrees warmer out there. I expect theaters to be cool, but we were all chilled to the bone while wearing our coats. I did my part to be comfortable, but you did not. If I hadn't paid so much to get us in, I would have left.

Jason Surratt

I was thinking about going to see "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" tonight but you dont list your prices and no one answers the phone. The answering machine says to check the web page for pricing information, but as far as I can tell it is not listed. If it is listed it must be buried. I'll wait for the movie to be in an online streaming format.
