Like the chance to see movies I've missed and the low prices, although its confusing which prices are when and for whom. Don't like the long skinny theater...need to upgrade those seats. Hot dogs are good, but small. Only have ketchup and mustard. Popcorn good; butter is medium. Website wasn't 100 percent. Willing to put up with all that for the good movies and prices.

This is a very small theatre that shows second run films and foreign movies. The seats are reasonably comfortable and the sound is fine, no IMAX experience here. This is a good place to see movies late into their runs in a theatre atmosphere on a big screen. I go here if I want to see a non-special effects driven movie.

The snack bar isn't the best, it has a very limited selection, but that doesn't matter much to me. Something you may want to be aware of.

Three stars is a balanced review for Bluelight. It is family owned, the staff is really friendly, they have $2 Tuesdays which is a great option, the food is good movie food at better prices, and they have a good variety of new and 2nd run movies to see. I'd give 5 stars for the culture around the place. I just can't overlook the fact that the actual movie experience is so sub-par though. The theaters are old and one of them is actually sloped backward (opposite of stadium) so kids can't see over the seat in front of them, even without a person in it. The seats are really worn, screens small, sound old, and overall just an old theater. A few critical facility updates would really put this place back in the running though.

This is a good place to go to catch a movie late in it's run and a big discount compared to the larger movie theaters. It's not going to be a huge screen or IMAX or 3D, but it'll be the movie and the sound systems in the the two theaters are pretty good. However, some of the seats are a little uneven and have a slight lean so pick carefully.

I remember going to this theater when it was still The Oaks and man was it a terrible experience every time. That being said, I love the direction the new owners have taken it. Showings are generally of movies that may not be showing anymore at the mainstream theaters so it's really for the person that either dislikes the huge crowds at first-run theaters or those who missed the first run and are still looking to watch it on a big (albeit not AS big) screen. They also show less-mainstream movies which is another plus.

The biggest draw I feel is the pricing. It's drastically cheaper than a first-run theater so you can enjoy a flick that you might not necessarily want to pay full price to watch.

Definitely enjoy Bluelight Cinemas and will continue to support them.

Small budget theater with a solid selection of second run movies and a friendly staff. This is a perfect spot to prepare for your office Oscars pool by watching nominated films at a discount. Just don't go in expecting top quality facilities and you'll leave happy.

Pros are that this place is cheap, and if you have a child sensitive to loud noises, then this is a good theater. Plus, they run movies that are generally past the main theater runs.

Cons are that this place is dirty and the theaters aren't well sound insulated. As such, you can often hear stuff from outside.

But you take the good with the bad.
