  Nice, clean. Enjoyed superscreen DLX. Recliners were nice. Concessions was a bit pricey but that's part of the experience. It's entertainment.

  This is our go to place for movies. The food here has gone down but when the cook is good and the food can be great. A nice feature we enjoy is the lounge chairs and the heated seats. In the IMAX there is even an elevator that I was not aware of

  I love everything about Marcus Theater's. Mr. Marcus has done an amazing job creating a wonderful movie experience with affordable options. I stopped going to theaters for the past 20 years! Then I moved to Bloomington, Illinois and was recommended to try this theater because it is affordable and the dollar to value ratio is amazing. I can not say I have ever been disappointed in my visits. The absolute only thing I miss, I suppose because I am old school is buttering and flavoring my own popcorn. That is a personal flavor that no one else can replicate for yourself to have the outcome that you enjoy most. I am a local video engineer. I gather the content and create the video channel lineups for the transport through the entire country and worldwide via the internet. This allows me to have a deeper appreciation for the theaters, both video and live. Thank you Bloomington, Illinois Marcus Theaters and everyone else involved at the corporate level for returning one of my long lost loves to me.

  Overall, we’re fortunate to have this theater in Bloomington. Imagine if we were stuck with AMC as our only option… This theater actually has pretty solid food for a theater, the place is well kept, there’s plenty of parking, employees are friendly, the lounger seats are simply the best, and the kids popcorn + ICEE tray is a solid menu hack for adults at like $8 Areas for improvement: 1. ICEE machine on the left side is always busted, which makes it kind of hilarious that they just let that thing sit there and spin with the liquid in there for no reason. 2. There’s never anyone validating tickets, which I think opens them up to theft of services and they could so easily get rid of that risk by just properly staffing that specific duty 3. IMAX isn’t worth it at all at this theater. Do it as a last resort. The sound is turned up to 11 in a low quality kind of way, the IMAX screen looks low res (I really don’t like constantly seeing pixels everywhere I look) and the chairs really just suck compared to all the other theater rooms (you can’t lean back an inch, let alone all the way) 4. They run out of premier release collectibles in an instant (most recently, the app advertised giveaways, I get there at the very first possible showing and they say “sorry we’re all out” when no more than maybe 15 people would have been ahead of me), which is annoying at times when that was a big value-add to the decision to go to the theater at all, and the app hypes you for it. 5. Paying upwards of $5 in “service fees” just to buy a ticket through the Marcus app is actually so incredibly stupid that I physically drive out to the theater to buy my tickets in advance at the counter just to save that money because it’s that annoying to me that they do this while their tickets are priced high as it is. 6. When you order food ahead of time in the app to be ready at a specific time (and the app advertises the food will be ready for you to quickly pick up and head into your theater room), they don’t even start making your order at all until you arrive. And… when you arrive, you kind of stand there awkwardly at the pickup zone staring at the kitchen where nothing is even cooking yet and it’s already a minute past the set pickup time, and they ask your name, and then start making the food - which feels like they do this per an intentional process, not just by mistake.
