Premiere Theatre College 9

Movie prices continue to rise all over the country, so paying around $ 10 for ticket is to be expected. However, I would expect clearer picture and sound, comparable to other theaters at the same price range that offer superior quality. Overall though seeing movies here is a good experience. I do wish we could add or own butter.

It is good. It can be better… So far, not as good as other theaters; for instance, in Panamá city, they have VIP chairs and waitresses.

it’s ok. they don’t have add your own butter like the other theatre, and they don’t have the mix your own ice and drinks, and the seats don’t always recline, and the movie is not always in focus, but I’m picky I guess. it offers a choice from the other, ahem, same brand, movie theatre in town. now that’s what I call choice! also, gettign in, you have drive through a hard to see entrance, which might cause trouble getting out, but there is a secret way through lowes that is often open.

A word of caution on expecting «comfortable seats»…
The seating for screens #1 and #9 do not recline even though you pay the same as for the other seven screens. The rest of the complex is average at best… nothing spectacular. It was annoying during my most recent visit for the sound to be off until a few seconds into the featured film («Interstellar»). I actually missed the sound during the previews.
I guess the best thing it has going is cleanliness.

Seats are super comfortable, and recline, which is definitely a bonus! Screen size is good as well.

First theatre I’ve been to at State College and I rarely go out to see movies so hard to give a fair review. But tickets were only 8.25? I thought we went back in time for a second.
The theatre itself is a little smaller than I’m used to with bathrooms separated on both sides. The drinks and food are expensive like all others.
The seats can be slightly pushed back. I’m split on that.

convenient to our house, this theater is well kept and a good choice for movies.

I like going to this theater for two reasons. It’s close to my house and it seems less busy than other theaters in the area.

If you want to catch a movie in State College, then Premier Theater College 9 is the place to go. Sure, there is another premier on the East side of town, but this place is much closer to campus, and it’s also pretty empty. Now, if you don’t have a car, it will probably be pretty hard to come here and watch a movie, as it is located pretty far on the outskirts of town.
Once you get here, get ready for a great deal. Movies here are only $ 8 for students, which is an amazing price in comparison to what you’d be paying in a major metropolitan city. Over at Premier, you can catch 3D movies on top of your normal flicks, but there is sadly no IMAX available. Other than movies, you have your standard overpriced food and drinks. I’ve never been a huge fan of wasting money on these, so luckily, they’re pretty lax on you bringing in your own food and drinks.
On the downside, this place does not work with Fandango. Thus, you really have to come here to get your tickets if it’s for a showing in advance. Premier Theater College 9 is the spot I go to when I need to catch a movie in State College. Sure, it’s not fancy like ones in NYC, but hey, it’s $ 8 so I won’t be complaining.

This theater is pretty basic, I just tend to go to the other one in town because the seats here aren’t as good, and their parking is also awkward to get in/​out of when the parking lot gets busy. When getting out of a movie once it took nearly a half hour to get out of the parking lot because of the traffic.

Our go to movie theater, primarily because it’s within walking distance of us.
There’s nothing fancy about it, the screens are fine, the seats are fine, everything is fine. I wouldn’t call it an outstanding theater, but you’re in State College not King of Prussia, so you can’t really expect a massive IMAX quality theater.
Really the theater deserves three stars, but since the prices are so affordable I give it four. If you have other theaters closer to you it’s not worth the extra drive time, but it’s perfectly suitable for a movie.

Standard movie theater with stadium seating. Its nice that its north of town so you don’t have to go downtown where I think they used to have a movie theater, not sure now or Bellfonte. I forgot my student id and it was still super cheap to see a movie for two on a Saturday night. I might be crazy but I think it was only $ 11.00 for the two of us.

Your basic neighborhood theater… Being out by Valley Vista offers a total convenience factor for those of us who don’t want to haul into town on a Saturday night.
Overall, pretty «A-​OK» theater. No real complaints, but no super standout features. Small theaters; high-​back seats set at a slightly strange angle; extensive concession stand area, blah blah. Seems to have plenty of parking.
They do offer a student discount, so don’t forget your ID!
