Eveningstar Cinema

First time going here and I really liked it. It is small, but nice seats and I took my mother-in-law to see Christmas Vacation and we had a nice time. The staff were friendly and helpful. The screen was perfect and the sound for a little theater was awesome! I will definitely be back to see some movies here!

'Shop local' includes seeing movies at Eveningstar Cinema rather than at a national or regional movie chain. Eveningstar shows independent and limited release films that the big chains avoid - you can see movies that won't be available at the big box screens. We enjoyed 'Tar,' especially happy to see a spectacular performance from Cate Blanchett.

The wonderful movie experience is matched by their beverage selection: they have some fantastic local beer - Maine Beer Co. - as well as several special European brews, several red, white, and sparkling wine choices, and popcorn with REAL butter.

With the remodel of the building, the parking seems a little easier - just park in the mall area or on the street if necessary.

We loved this place when we went for our first time last night. There is a movie my husband had always wanted to see in the theater, but it's from the early 90s. I rented out the theater, and we got to watch it on the big screen. Great popcorn. Kind, friendly, quirky (in a great way) staff. Great ambiance, and filled with nostalgia.

Intimate cinema showing independent films that are of a unique subject matter and curated for our community. The seating is clean and includes 4 couches at the front closest to the screen.

The popcorn has real butter, and they serve craft beer! The staff are friendly and very helpful. The parking for the strip mall is ample in addition to street parking.

My one item on the wish list is for cleaner bathrooms. That's it--I cannot find anything else for improvement!

You really feel connected in your cinema experience here. For that, 5 stars.

I love this movie theatre! Reasonably priced and it is "common practice" for them to double layer the butter on popcorn....this alone is enough to come here again and again.

I love the films that come in here! Independent films are amazing here. Most recently saw The Lion. Amazing film. If you haven't tried it yet please do. You won't regret it.

"The Eveningstar Cinema of Brunswick, Maine provides a classically romantic environment for fantasy, pleasure, adventure and fun. We believe in giving you everything you want in an evening at the movies, something we consider not simply a job but a pact, a pact to remember all we have dreamed and all we have hoped, in a night at the theater."

That's Eveningstar's mission statement. And it's not just something they preach, but something they practice. As a side note, I have such a soft spot in my heart for indie movie theaters... the quirkier the better, in my opinion. And Eveningstar is always going to be one of those places I feel very, very fondly towards. Sure, one of the best dates of my life happened here (it was with a rock star and we went to see Once and then we sang Falling Slowly in the parking lot together... *swoon*), but it's more than just that.

It's the intimacy of the one theater and couch seating (bringing back that sense of community).
It's the commitment to exploring exceptional filmmaking (one movie shown a week).
It's the smell of coffee and popcorn (and baked goods wafting down from upstairs).

I really do love it here. Sure, I'd come more often if there were more movies being offered... but that's not what I want or why I come here. I come to get away and be swept up in another world. And if you're looking for that in your movie-going experience from time to time, then support your lovely local theater.

The Gem of the Midcoast as far as movie theaters go!
The price of admittance is cheap as far as movie prices go, $9 and under.
Great selection of indie and popular main stream movies. The theater is an intimate, single screen house. With couches to boot!
The snacks & fluids are reasonably priced. You should be able to enjoy a movie for under $10 each. And the staff is friendly and helpful!
Great place for Birthday parties!

Th staff is always friendly, the theater is nice and cozy, and the movies are amazing, what more could you ask for?

This is a unique old time theatre. A little bit quirky theatre that even has sofas for seating. Pretty sure it's privately owned. Great location in Brunswick next to Wild Oats.

I love going to see movies, and this quirky little theater is one of my favorites. They show just one movie each week, and it's often movies that you wouldn't find elsewhere. Prices are super reasonable and they have a nice little snack bar. I'm all about supporting local businesses!
