Concession stand

Doesn't pass the smell test for me. They could take some lessons from Movies, Inc. in Calallen. I agree with the reviewer on cleanliness - it's terrible. Needs renovation and carpets pulled out. I DO like that they offer military rates - one of the few that do in Corpus, surprisingly. But if they don't change some things they won't be in business long.

Reclining chairs, bigger theater, more leg room and seat room. I love this theater. So much better then Century. I don't feel claustrophobic and they seem to appreciate the business more!

Even though I HATE this theater I go to it more than Century 16 because A. I am closer to this location B. It's 4 dollars for students all the time C. They have an electronic ticket buying system inside that none of the Plebeians who go there know about so you can ignore the lines and just go use your plastic to buy tickets AND if you are cheap and sneaky you can buy discount military/senior tickets and nobody will check. :)That's a lot of positives for this place. Here's what is really wrong with it: It is dirty and gross and the staff are disgusting, piggish, immature boys. I have no clue why the management hired or does not fire these kids (some of whom are not kids) but they should. They shout obscenities, flirt with female customers - they just add to the layer of grime there. Everything the other reviewer, Johnnie E, reports is accurate and I second her complaints. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot! Someone was murdered here last year over some stupid verbal insult and so now they have 3 cops on the weekends at all times and signs that say "No Gang Attire"In conclusion: Go there if you are a cheap skate who can handle bad service and dirt and possibly death.

It's a bit odd for me to give a cinema four stars, especially when said cinema has no competition. There is a dollar cinema that I have to be desperate to go to, and the Century 16. Both the Starplex and the Century 16 offer pretty much the same movies, same ridiculously expensive concession, and comfy seats. The Starplex's tickets are cheaper. There tends to be a bit of a...ghetto atmosphere here---kids left uncontrolled, adults texting, talking and general rudeness. No one seems capable of taking their trash with them as well. The facility, despite all this, is newish and maintained. Screens are good sizes. I wish the two cinemas didn't carry the same movies, but choice and availability probably determine this. After all this, I suppose price and distance have to be your determining factor--it sure isn't who is playing what since their marquees are often identical. Corpus seems to be about ten years behind the curve when it comes to restaurants and entertainment. Based on availability, both cinemas are an oasis in a huge void.

This theater is a dump. Very dirty. I went with my family for a 3:30 showing on a Monday afternoon, which was not busy at all. Even the restrooms were a mess. If it was late on a Saturday and they had been super busy, I could maybe understand, but mid-afternoon on a Monday?? I don't get why it was so filthy in there. Seriously Starplex people, get with the program and clean it up. It's absolutely gross.

Reclining chairs! Cool! Don't have this in San Antonio! Sat down and thought I was going to fall back - until I realized the chair reclines....and rocks! Cool! Because it was Corpus Christi, lots of room to watch a new release (Harry Potter) and not have to stand in super long lines....

I am really surprised at how much this theater has improved. It's been over a year since we came here. We stopped because the place was so filthy. Today we went to see Hercules, and the other theater on SPID did not have the times we needed. So we took a chance. We're glad we did. The matinee tickets were only $4.50 each. The concessions are highway robbery, but that's the way theaters are. The theater was very clean. The carpets had clearly been shampooed. It smelled fresh inside. The floor in the theater was NOT sticky, and the seats were clean. So were the bathrooms. When the movie ended, there was a cleaning crew that came in immediately, complete with mops! I HATE sticky floors, so I was happy to see that they mop in between showings. Sticky floors make my skin crawl, just thinking about what lurks down there in the dark. Eeeek!Now, this may have been a fluke, so I give them only 3 stars. We don't go to movies much anymore, but we will go back when another movie interests us to see if they keep it up.

Although people say this place is ghetto it is cheaper than century and has way better seats. For some reason cloth seats gross me out, starplex has leather like seats all which have arm rests that u can move up and down and reclining seats. At century you dont get both.

This place is complete trash. Went on Easter Day to see a movie with my family. They were closed for reasons they couldn't say. Save your money and your time choose another theatre. Wish I could rate it lower than one star. They gave me a refund but wouldn't refund the online " convenience" fee

You get what you pay for with the low price of a ticket at this cinema. An awful smell lingers in the theatre, as they only have one working snack bar (as long as it isn't raining). The ceiling leaks during storms so if you're trying to enjoy a movie on a rainy day, look elsewhere. Both times that I have gone through 2017-2018, I had to refund my tickets for the terrible experience. Btw, their refunds do not include the convenience charge for purchasing tickets in advance. And each time, the manager has offered expired coupons for candies/popcorn in hopes that I will come again.
