      I took my family here to see private, premier screening of "My All American." I was here a few times prior many years ago and the place hasn't had a facelift for those many years. It's not really the best place to draw in people all over the Central Texas area for a private screening (packed house) when they put us in a theater with broken seats randomly throughout.

      The staff seems overly stressed and unprepared for a packed house. I probably wouldn't intentionally go to this place to watch a movie with my family, especially a hot new release that would sell out. I would be the one stuck sitting in a seat that was broken.

      It's an ok place but very early 1990s in look and feel.

      Came here for a pre-release screening of A Million Miles Away (which I very highly recommend). But this review is of the theater.

      It's clean and modern looking. The staff were extremely friendly. The beer was cold (a full point of Electric Jellyfish Hazy IPA). The restrooms were clean. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and the lines were very short.

      In the theater, the aisles are spacious. There are no bad seats. Each seat has a table and drink holder, and a button that allows you to partially or fully recline. The sound was good. We were happy.

      I don't know that they offer the latest for cutting edge special effects movies like IMAX 3D, etc. But for most movies this place is perfect. And they also offer classic movie favorites at a great price mid-week, like The Terminator for just $5 :-)

      In short, this is my kind of theater. Not a place to have dinner. Not a noisy, over-crowded metroplex filled with large crowds and very long lines. There's no bowling alley here. No arcade or pool hall. It's just a really nice place to see a movie in a comfy chair, with some nice popcorn or snacks, coupled with a soda or an alcoholic beverage. Nice!

      The seats here are so comfortable and they recline. I didn't know that before arriving.  And, even sitting in the back row, the view of the screen is great.
      The theatre is clean and modern and has multiple screens.
      The concession stand will sell you the pre-requisite over-priced popcorn along with candy and cookies.  But you don't have to settle for soft drinks; beer and wine is available here too.
      There is a large parking lot, which was great, but it wasn't lit well-enough at night.
      Also, to note, tickets are purchased inside. The original ticket windows just have notices and the movie times in them.

      Seeing A Million Miles screening kicking off Mexican American month. This is one of the best theatres I've been to for comfortable chairs that recline like a recliner yours have at home. They do have a spot for food and drinks to sit on and a great sound system. Since I went for the premiere I'm not sure what it's like for a regular movie but the concession had a lot of choices to make. The washrooms were clean too and plenty of parking.

      At the movie premiere of A Million Miles. Go see it! You'll be glad you did.

      Super clean facility. Nice staff. IMAX was amazing. Above par food options. Helpful staff. A surprise with so many theater options in Austin.

      Tenet IMAX. Super clean top notch theater with actually above par food for a theater. Nice staff!

      This movie theatre is very underrated.

      To get the hot take out of the way, if you're a person that goes to a movie theatre for the food - why? You won't find any Alamo-level fare at Galaxy, but the entire concept of a restaurant theatre is flawed... I digress.

      You've got the classic snack options here, buttery popcorn, candy, soda. Can't go wrong with that! Check in on Yelp for a free mini popcorn!

      The seats are more comfortable than any other theatre chain I'm aware of (including any Alamo location I've been to). Rows are spaced appropriately apart, aisle walkways are wide, and the seats recline quite far. I'm comfortable watching a movie here.

      The staff are friendly, the theatres are clean. The tickets are reasonably priced.

      Galaxy does what a movie theatre is supposed to do.

      Great seats, electric recliners. I'd definitely come back here again. Came for a matinee of the new Book Club. Great way to spend an afternoon off.

      Get a free popcorn with Yelp check-in which was a nice bonus. They serve wine here too, but I usually don't drink anything at the theater and need to use the bathroom when the movie is getting into the nitty gritty.

      Enjoyable "me time" date. Self: You're cool and I like you. :D I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

      Just 20 bucks for ticket and two snacks. Not bad at all.

      I'll definitely repeat this for the next movie I want to see.

      I was in town and my friend wanted to see The Little Mermaid. The other theaters were sold out so I chose this one. At first, when we pulled up, I thought I was duped because the building next to it was boarded up. However if you drive a little more up, you see it.

      The popcorn was the best part! But the theater is clean, seats are comfy and there is plenty of room even though in a theater of unsold seats someone sat directly next to me! Overall it's a hidden gem and I'll be back when I visit!

      First and last time I will ever come to Galaxy Theaters. Rated R trailers shouldn't be played at kids movies. Talked to the staff about it and they couldn't have cared less. Food is expensive and not good. Save your money and go elsewhere.

      Rated R trailer for Monkey Man. This was one of many rated r trailers played.

      Clean theater, friendly staff, and cervezas. We saw Expend4bles on opening night, and the theater was almost completely empty, for some reason. With Spanish subtitles on his favorite action franchise, my husband was thrilled.
