This is a great, intimate movie experience! They have a great mix of independent films and new movies. The theaters are pretty small, which means less people, and that’s good for a movie! They have a good amount of beer options, popcorn, and a couple other snacks to eat. The decor is very cute and this place is the ideal date night! Currently they do not have any mask or vaccine mandates.

It's a small cinema, with four screens, the one I saw much smaller than a traditional one. It creates a much more intimate feeling, like you are in some rich persons basement screening a movie. We were also introduced to the film by an employee, so it can be really hands on. Concessions are artsy as well, you can get gourmet popcorn made in NC, etc. And the movies are going to be more artsy as well, so if that's your thing you should definetely visit. It's a beautiful building.

Having access to a theater like this is so important!!! Because of this theater, I’ve been able to watch films that I cannot find anywhere else and introduced to films I’ve never heard of. The dvd takeout is amazing and stocked with a diverse range of films. The snack options are nice and priced fairly. The events are awesome; I especially loved the ‘revival cinema.’ Devil in a Blue Dress became one of my favorite films, and the added history before the film started really helped contextualize it. Film studies has always been one of my hobbies and I’ve never really come in contact with a theater that prioritized film education and making movies accessible, so thank you aperture!!!

Favorite cinema in WS/NC! Some of the staff can be a bit pretentious, but like, 7/8ths of the crew are amazingly kind and engaging. Love it there!

Excellent popcorn, fantastic beer choices, but even more than the concessions, a great venue for watching movies. I love that they include multiple indie, foreign, and throwback films. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I've already seen Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown, and Mickey 17 there, and will be going back again soon.
