Movies Lompoc

Wow — this place has gone downhill. We saw Batman vs superman today and the place was very uncomfortable — no air conditioning at all — very hot and stuffy and smelly, until it appeared to come on about halfway through the movie. Also, every single urinal (water-​free style) was clogged and full of urine — disgusting. I won’t be coming back — it’s worth the drive to Santa Maria to avoid basic issues like this.

Good place to catch a movie when you don’t have any gas to get to Santa Maria.

no 3D and smell of mold?! Rather watch the DVD at home or drive to Santa Maria/​Goleta.

I’m a big fan of small independent movie theatres. Prices are reasonable at just $ 7.50 for an adult matinée. It’s kept clean and movies are always started on time. I’ll keep coming back.

The staff unpleasant, the theater dirty smelled like pee and rather dirty should have done my research :(

Checked movie times online and verified showing of Entourage at 4:30 PM. When we got there, we waited in a rather long line. When we arrived to pay, the clerk told us the movie had been bumped to allow an extra showing of Jurassic World which had opened this weekend. No sign in box office or anywhere else to warn people of this. All online sources verified Entourage should have been showing. Employee apologized, but it was hollow considering the trouble we went through to get there.

Nice small theatre with small selection of movies. Employees were friendly but prices weren’t cheap for such a small theatre. 10 $ a person. Only had 2 popular movies and 2 no name movies playing. It was the only theatre for a ways away so it did the job.

Only movie theater in town. Needs better selection in concessions, and maybe a midnight showing of popular movie openings. Overall, for being the only theater in town, it’s a great deal. I mean $ 7.50 for a matinée movie, what a great deal.

When did going to the movies require a bank loan? This is nation wide but in Lompoc, really? Glad they do have matinée discount times.

For a small town, this movie theater is top notch. The popcorn is fresh, it’s always clean, and you can get a seat for opening weekend. The staff is pretty nice. The Movies Lompoc reminds me of going to the local 4-​plex for dates when I was a teen before the monstrous 30 screen AMC swallowed up the local business. So what if it’s a little out of date when you hit the bathrooms? It’s cleaner than some of the theaters in Santa Barbara (Paseo Nuevo is sticky and gross). We prefer to support the local movie theater, especially when they went through the major expense of buying all digital equipment. The Gemini couldn’t keep up with the drive to digital and shuttered. So now we only have 4 screens in town. If you want more screens and a bigger sound system, get yourself to Santa Maria & quit your whinin’. Santa Maria is about a 20 minute drive, or what you would drive in traffic to get to a bigger movie complex in a bigger town.

Nice theater for a small town. The web site to look up their showings is

A small but comfortable and clean theater. We went on a Friday night and there was no line. I wish they offered military discounts. Popcorn was good.

Wish there was a score below 1, website says star trek at 9:30, no star trek employee gives me a tude about its not their website and its a problem with google and yahoo and Unilocal got it all wrong. I asked for some popcorn and they told me no because it was for paying quests of inside the theater. I feel bad for those in Lompoc if this is the only place to watch a movie locally. Need that Valley Drive In to make a comeback.

This theater had a nice upgrade/​makeover a year or so ago. I haven’t seen any recent reviews, so wanted to give an update to the previous reviews that are over a year old.
The theater is clean and well maintained. I saw a movie here last night. The picture and sound were excellent. The feature started on time with no interruptions or equipment problems. The seats are nice and big with a cup holder for your drink. And comfortable too. I watched the new 2 hour and 24 minute James Bond film in comfort.
The staff was pleasant. The floors were not sticky from spilled refreshments. And the service at the concession stand was prompt and courteous.
What’s not to like? If you’re own, and want to catch a movie, this theater is a great place to do so.

SO RUDE!!!
Went to the 4:30pm of Moneyball today with my best friend (who was visiting from out of town). I wanted him to see Lompoc in a good light so I took him to The Movies thinking it was better than Gemini. The movie began and the volume was almost completely off. After a few minutes I went to the lobby to ask them to turn it up and the guy barely acknowledged me. Nearly 90 minutes into the film the projector jammed and the film melted on screen. Again, I went to the lobby and told the same person. He said an obscenity under his breath and rushed past me to the projector booth. It took him 25 minutes to get the film running again and when the movie was over we went to the counter to find the same person there again. I asked to speak to a manager and he said «I am the manager.» I stated that we were thoroughly unhappy with the experience considering the amount of times I had to exit the theater during the film and the 25 minute wait and the least they could do was give us vouchers for another screening. He immediately got extremely nasty and told us «If we wanted a refund we should said something when the projector broke.» After sparring with him for a few minutes my best friend and I left extremely upset by his attitude. Though I live in Lompoc I often go to Santa Barbara to see movies in theaters. I thought it would be fine to save the drive time and support my home town but now I know why I should have spent the extra 45 minutes going South. AVOID THIS THEATRE if you enjoy watching movies.

I think this is the ONLY movie theater in Lompoc. Don’t be fooled by my rating on place. I really liked the place considering where I was (IT“S LOMPOC). The tickets are cheap. The buttered POPCORN is amazing! (should’ve got the large bucket. RAWR)… AND you know those «Kernel Season’s» (that’s only .9 oz) you can buy for $ 1.50 at movie places like century theaters. They have a self-​serve bar of them, and you can put in AS MANY AS YOU WANT! (as many as you want!!!) I love free things =D heheh… They lost a star because they don’t have hot dogs on their menu. (i’m sorry. i really do hate taking away stars)
They only show four Movies at a time. Which sucks because I do love to have options. I would’ve taken another star for that. but it’s LOMPOC … lol
The rooms are very cool, because I’m so use to century theaters and amc. I really get a kick out of unusual things (well just things im not use to seeing). The rooms have a old-​school feel to it. In one room, the seats are not centered. it has an aisle right down the middle and you have seats on the left and right side of the room. Seats are very big and comfy, but they are old school seats right. so the arm rest do not come up. =(which is sad when you cant cuddle with your boo thang… lol i would’ve taking another star for that but it’s LOMPOC… lol
I’m not really from lompoc, but I do visit sometimes… so if you live in Lompoc, and and dont wanna drive far to see a movie, this would be your only choice. The next nearest movie theater is in Santa Maria. But honestly this theater is not that bad.
wishing you guyz 5 star service… thanks
