I LOVE this cute old theater! Great picture quality, inexpensive tickets and wonderful service! Old fashioned lobby and only two screens but they have first run movies and… well… it’s just authentic feeling. Makes seeing a movie more than just seeing a movie. It’s the whole theater experiance without all the lines and nonsense of modern theaters. Comfy chairs, old school class. Plan on seeing many many films here!

This is a local theater in a small island town; the only place to see first run movies. But it’s clean, the seats are new and very comfortable and they try to keep the best movies available at very reasonable prices: two adults for Star Wars Force Awakens in its first week for $ 15. For two, not each. Decent stock at the concession stand. And once in a while they have special events, like showing Elf on Christmas.

Fun little local theater. Relaxed staff, reasonable facilities.

OK for some first-run movies, generally aimed at the teenage male crowd, and nothing remotely independent unless it’s a major revenue magnet. And, no web site, no online presence at all, and when called on Thursday for the nights movies the recording had already been updated for the weekend with no info about tonight. All in all a community-unfriendly place that’s more interested in your money than anything else.

The Palace does a nice job of cycling first-run movies with ample showtimes. The theaters are small and very small, and it’s a cash-only establishment.

The Palace Theater is a very cool unique movie theater. It shows first run movies on three screens. Each theater is small. They serve a number of unusual snacks including popcorn with yeast, which is very tasty. The service is very friendly.

Yes, it’s the only movie theater on the Island, but I still love the manager, Aaron. What a sweetie. Plus, most of the time the movies are new releases that are good. I’ve never been able to get nutritional yeast on my popcorn at any other movie theater, so that too, deserves a high five.

They have first run movies, they have that going for them, plus the bonus of being the only theater in town. So should I give them 5 stars for that? Certain reviewers of the island(captain awsome for example) seem to think that having the open sign out earns you 5 stars, whats with that?
