Essex Cinemas

"I live an hour and ten minutes away, but every chance I get, I go to this theatre. I honestly love it! The T-Rex is amazing, with such good seats. Online tickets are a breeze, and staff are friendly. I love it when they invite the local comic store for marvel movies, they do giveaways, trivia, and there are people in costumes! The vibe here is amazing, definitely a prime theatre. The website has recently been updated, and it’s so nice and easy to understand. I look forward to coming soon!"

"We love our local cinema! Can't beat $5 Mondays. You can buy tickets and pick your seats online, saving you time before hitting the concession stand. Nice staff, comfortable seats, many screens. We are lucky to have such a great movie theater in our community."

"We arrived for one of the first showings after the theater opened for the day. Theater was filthy. Floors were sticky, food still stuck in the seats and cup holders. When we first walked in my wife had her purse and I had my small satchel/sling pack (same size as my wife’s purse.)with diapers etc. for the kids. The cashier then started arguing with me telling me it was a backpack and they weren’t allowed. After a minute of this I informed her again it wasn’t a backpack it was my “Purse” and asked her if she was the backpack police? She gave us our tickets and I thought we were finished till we then had the manager come over and ask to look in the bags. Had it not have been for our 2 year old, 4 year old and 7 year old I would have just told them to give us a refund and we would have gone elsewhere. Even the police need a warrant but the movie theater federales can just harass you I guess. I understand it’s private property but we won’t be going back there. Sure glad we paid about $60.00 In tickets for that treatment."

"The cinema is clean, the sound system is good, and the layout is excellent. I'd have given 4 stars but I have to take 1 star off because in the particular theater I went to (Cinema 7), I counted at least 3 seats that were broken but they weren't blocked off. I suggest buying tickets at the box office and asking the staff for good seats. Update: this time I went to see their T-Rex theater (the biggest screen in Vermont) and was very happy with the experience. The sound was excellent, the screen size comparable to those of theaters in bigger cities, and the seats were comfy. Oppenheimer was a wonderful experience in the T-Rex theater. Adding a star!"

"This theater is living in the stone age. I don't understand why they send you a QR code in your email when you purchase advance tickets. The QR code is useless. The theater will not scan it. They make you stand in line to use one computer (because one is broken) and there is no scanner, so you have to enter your confirmation code. Once you have printed these useless tickets, the attendant just looks at them and tells you what theater to go to. Why he couldn't look at my phone screen, no one knows. They had 15 minute lines for snacks and ran out of popcorn. I would choose a different theater if you have a choice."
