Cinestar Cinema

Excellent small-​town theater with great prices. I love large movie theaters, but the prices at the Huntsville Cinestar are unbeatable. I can take my kids with me and pay less than it would cost for just myself at a large theater. Matinée tickets are $ 3. General admission is $ 5 and $ 3 for children. The food is cheap as well.
The theater is also very clean, and the sound and visual quality is great.

Cheap tickets and staff was ok. You get what you pay for. The décor was a little old but kids enjoyed it

I don’t believe their credit card machine doesnt work. Cash only? Seems like a scam. The year is 2015 fix it. Other than that the cinema was decent for being as old as it was. The cost is good.

This theater is convenient and cheap. The matinée tickets are only $ 3 but you can only pay cash. There’s an ATM by the concessions but it’s getting close to 2016 and I feel credit/​debit card machines are a MUST HAVE at this day and age! Other than that they need to repair/​replace most of the seating and a few of their projection screens. Many of the screens have obvious streaks and lines running down them and are very distracting when trying to enjoy a movie.
–Add credit/​debit as an option and I’ll bump it up to 4 stars.
–Repair/​replace seating and screens and this would be a 5 star small theater.

The movie tickets are the cheapest I’ve found in Texas, at $ 3 before 6pm, making this ideal for college students and large families. I’ve been here several times now and I’ve always been greeted with great service. Buying drinks/​food is never an issue. Once in a great while there’s that one person that acts like they’re not getting paid for working there, but that’s the individual’s problem. The only thing i’d down grade this theater for is the building is always kind of dirty and they charge you full price for refills of drinks or popcorn. Overall, it’s always been a great time at this theater, especially for the price.

Took my daughter to a matinée here. Our movie started just after noon and we were the only people there. Matinees are only $ 3 and later movies are $ 5 for adults and $ 3 for children 11 and under. The Theaters aren’t very big but they have stadium seating and the arm rests raise up. The picture and sound quality were good and they play the newest movies. Everything was clean and the staff seemed ‘on top’ of things. We watched a movie and I bought two large drinks and a large popcorn all for $ 15. Can’t ask for that anywhere else. It is dated … but if you are there for the movie …
Our one problem…(if you can call it that) :)
We were seeing a scary movie and about midway through we ran out of popcorn. I asked my daughter to go to the concession stand to get us some more… she was too scared to go. Remember we are the only two seeing this movie … So I look around and smile and say,“Would you rather I go and you stay in here with the movie all by yourself?” … LOL. Needless to say, we didn’t get any more popcorn.

I had 10 of my nieces and nephews visiting, and told them I was going to take EVERYBODY tot the movies. At $ 3 a ticket for matinée you can be a big baller… :)

Yes, the theater is old. But it has been remodeled in the last couple of years. Not perfect but perfectly adequate. Good service, cleaned after each movie and set up sensibly. For $ 3 to $ 5 each, you get the latest movies. Snacks and drinks more than reasonable. For the complainers, two can go to Conroe and pay $ 50 for what two people can get for $ 20 here. Oh, plus to Conroe you use more gas and more time. For hardworking people it’s a no-​brainer.

Probably the worst movie theater that I’ve ever been to. That being said… the movie is only $ 5 so you get what you pay for. The low cost is both a blessing and a curse. While it is easy on the wallet, it attracts too many people which will always include the loud and inconsiderate.
While the picture was good definition/​resolution, the sound was awful. No (and I mean No) surround sound. All sound was coming from the screen.
The theater layout is weird, and the restrooms were filthy. Parking is limited, and like the theaters, weirdly formatted, making both parking and pulling out a challenge.
I frequented this theater a lot back in the 80s as a teenager, but hadn’t been since until last night. It doesn’t appear as if they’ve done any improvements to the place since then, other than forcing a few more theatre rooms into a building that’s too small to adequately support them.
Next time I’ll drive the extra miles to attend a better theatre, spend the extra dollars to get the better experience.
Avoid this cinema if you can.

It’s a good theater for a small town. And they have made improvements over the past year. Although they recently made a policy change that is irritating. Apparently if you want to refill your doing you have to buy another drink instead of just paying for a refill. They claim health code but most other theaters now days have self serve drink stations where you can refill all you want. Other than that huntsville is still a bargain for movies

This place needs to be remodeled! But you can’t beat $ 3 matinée and $ 5 regular price! The popcorn and snakes are fairly priced I guess. This movie theatre needs a makeover!

While reviews are mixed we found this the only movie there in Huntsville had stadium seating and was clean. In fact we witnessed at the end of each movie a crew of employees came in to clean up. We took shelter in the complex as it was a wet and rainy day. The cheap prices made it comfortable and enjoyable therefore we rate 4 stars and would consider returning if we happen to be again in the area.

Best popcorn, great staff and the perfect mom and pop feel that makes Huntsville great! With the new digital projectors and tickets only 5 $ a pop, what more could you ask for?

Not the biggest or best movie theater in the world but for the price $ 3 matinée and $ 5 regular tickets for all the latest movies, you can’t beat it anywhere. Their snacks are pricy, you can get a box of MMs or snow caps etc at walmart for half what they charge and put them in your pocket and save money. I understand they gotta make money, but honestly I think people would rather pay more for tickets (since they expect going to the movies to be expensive) and pay less for snacks. It certainly would even things out.

I want to give this place a better review, and I will if service improves the next time I’m there. But when I went a couple of days ago, the girl at the window said that she couldn’t sell tickets for some reason. Wth?! Her arms weren’t broken, she could speak and therefore communicate properly. SO, patrons had to wait for some other girl to come and sell tickets. Well, I waited for five minutes, then got disgusted and left. I went back later to complain and the ticket sales girl got snippy with me. That’s not cool, because you don’t know what kind of attitude I might have in response to your incredibly crappy attitude and behavior.
As someone who grew up in this town, and who still has ties to it, I hold customer service in very high regard. I’ve found it lacking in this town lately. I do want to say that I like this theater, I grew up coming here. I remember as a little girl when there were two separate theaters in this small town. And I remember when they combined them into one larger theater. Other than craptastic customer service, this is a good place to come for a cheap movie. The facilities are decent, but fairly no-​frills, and concessions are fairly priced.
Just be warned – don’t expect people to be very helpful.

This is your classic small town movie theater. The tickets are $ 3 – 5!!! For $ 20 you can take a date out and both of you can so the movie AND have treats from the concession stand! The drinks, candy, popcorn, and food are very fairly priced!
The theaters are smaller and the seats are descent with stadium seating. I drive up to Huntsville from Conroe just for the small town atmosphere and pricing.
BONUS– They do not allow babies into R movies after a certain hour :)
Tickets:
Movies starting before 6:00 P.M. are $ 3.00.
Movies starting 6:00 P.M. and later are $ 5.00.
Children under 12 are $ 3.00 after 6:00 P.M. WITH PARENT
Senior Citizens are $ 3.00 all the time

REALLY cheap movies! pay in cash! the hallways are kinda creepy at night but just bring a friend :) old building but definitely cool

a breath of fresh air when it comes to prices of tickets & snacks at the concession stand.
doesn’t do 3D movies but sometimes that’s a good thing. it does get a bit irritating that they don’t get all the movies out or keep the movies long enough but it is convenient & a nice family place
