Cinergy Midland

Love the idea of getting to choose your own seat, HUGE bonus, but the entrance with all the games makes it hard to get to the shows.

Pretty good it’s our first time here the kids seem to be enjoying it. They have some of the same games as Dave and busters. It also is a movie theater.

I’m really not sure what the big deal is about this place. There’s so much going on as you walk in they should have people available to provide some assistance and point the way to ticket stand etc… The food and drink process is not convenient as people think. Definitely not anything closely related to the Alamo Draft House.

With the skillful help of one of the phenomenal party planners, Anna, I was able to plan a memorable event for my employees and their families.
The staff working our event was wonderful — engaging with our families (who are from outside the US) and ensuring everyone was well fed and having a wonderful time.
Thank you SO much for all your help — we for sure will be having another party at Cinergy sometime soon!

I was pretty impressed. I come from Oklahoma, where we have a theater called The Warren that is a perfect 5-​star theater with comfortable seats, great screens, alcohol sales, seat side food service, IMAX and more.
The Cinergy doesn’t compare to the service or comfort of The Warren and the screen wasn’t as nice when it came to clarity, but I have no real complaints outside of the fact that the snack bar was ridiculously overpriced.
BUT, they have a $ 5 discount Tuesday — and that includes 3D movies. How cool is that? You also can boy your tickets online in advance and choose your seats, so we got to sit exactly where we wanted. We were running a bit close, but it didn’t matter because our seats were out seats.
The seats were comfortable and the theater was decently clean for a theater. The staff was friendly and the manager took the time to talk to my son while we were standing and waiting for my wife to come out of the restroom. There is also an amazing game area, but we didn’t go there on this visit.
We are moving to Midland and I think Tuesday night movies might become a regular thing for us at Cinergy — just not with as big of a snack bar order in the future.

I almost hate to share this bit of public knowledge because even more people will
Show up: Tuesday is $ 5 movie day!!! Are you serious! Get tickets online– pick up when you get there– walk in– bam — instant cheap date night.

You can’t get better than this. There is so much to do here! They have great food. The games and prizes are probably priced better than the kid pizza joints in town. The seats are so comfortable. The staff is always extremely friendly.

Reserved seating is the best — try the nits and lots– if they make it correct — it is delicious, Carmel popcorn with bacon!!! Yum

What I like the most was the ability to choose where you wanna seat and see how full the room is going to be ahead of time. Your seat is guaranteed this way.
Food service is a good idea but needs work. Takes too long to get your food. From the kitchen to the screen they don’t cover it so it is cold by the time you get it.

Came here on xmas and it was packed. This place is 10x better than chuckie cheese.
As you walk in the arcade is to your right and left, above you are these kids walking on this thick rope, and in front of you is the theatre and where you order food. It’s pretty compact but tons to do.
You buy a game card for $ 20+ and games run from $ 1-​$ 3. They had pretty awesome games. You definitely have to watch your kids because there are tons of other kids running around. There’s this stuffed animal claw crane game in the back right corner that’s pretty easy to play (not like those other cheating claws that don’t clamp onto things) we were able to walk out with 10+ stuffed animals! The kids had a blast and were beat after just going to the arcade!

Wait for food was great
Floors are dirty by the concession stand were clean
Restroom is nasty
The theatre was pretty clean

I love that I can pick my seat and know even if I am running late i know exactly where I am going to sit. The food is good but a little pricey, they could use more help but they try and give good service

Some employees were great and friendly, others ignored you. They should make sure everyone understands the food delivery system like Alamo Drafthouse in Austin does. However the theatre was clean, the food was good, sound quality/​picture was great, and I enjoyed the movie-​going experience very much. Love the early bird prices! Haven’t seen a movie during the laser tag hours yet, so I don’t know how chaotic that is, but it seems like a really fun, decent place to take your kids, albeit pricey if you do games, food, movie, and laser tag or sky walk.

We come to this theater a lot. If you buy your tickets only you can choose your seat ahead of time. If you do a earlier time your tickets are cheaper also, $ 9.00 or so.
I have watched regular and 3-​D movies, both were enjoyable. The theaters are kept clean and the seats are comfortable, and they aren’t cloth which I like (no need to worry about lice or bed bugs)
The food/​candy/​drinks are extremely over priced which is a downfall. but you can order anything from simple candy and popcorn to pizza and sandwiches. If you order food they give you a buzzer and when your food is ready they come to your theater to deliver it.
You can get frozen alcoholic drinks and beer (or a bucket of beer) buying a beer is actually cheaper $ 3.99 then buying a bottles water! $ 4.75!
Their is also an arcade and other activities inside but we have not done any. Looks like a great place for kids.

Normally, based just on the entertainment experience, I would give them 4 stars. But I just had a great experience with the management and that earns them the fifth star.
From my perspective this is the best place to see a movie in overcrowded Midland (& Odessa). This place is much cleaner, and I think the seats are super comfortable.
And being able to buy tickets ahead and choose the seats works well when just about every movie is full. No waiting, just roll in, get your tickets — no stress about finding good seats.
It does get busy, but what doesn’t get busy around here? Once you get past the kids and commotion of the entry it’s not that bad. The lines aren’t any worse than the other options in the area — usually better, with better attitudes from the employees.
I do wish they had a bathroom on the other side of the ticket station.
But again, the management took care of perfectly — they were quick to respond and went above and beyond in helping me out.
Kudos to a business that still actually cares about their customers. Almost impossible to find around here…

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about. We come here all the time. The place is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly. No long lines as you can order online and print at a self service screen. Pick your seats so you don’t have to show up super early to fight for a seat. Food is good. They deliver right to your seats on hot food. Seats are very comfortable.
Much better then alternatives in the area.

Been here a couple of times with friends and its always been nice experience. In my opinion, i like the reserved seating feature. I dont need to wait in long lines like traditional theatres do. I can just use that time instead to grab a beer and chill a little bit over there with friends. You can buy beer and wine over there. If you want to buy a bucket (6 beers), they require two persons over 21 to buy it. They serve food like burgers and pizza and you are given a device that vibrates when your food is ready which you have to pick up at the designated spot in the theatre. Im not so sure if i like that method.
This theatre also has lazer tag and over the ceiling ropes course, both of which i havent checked out, but they seem to be fun.
Theres comfortable reclining red chairs in the very front… I was pretty tempted to try it, but i just cant sacrifice headache and eye sore for being so close to the screen!

I grew up in Midland in the 90’s, and I have many fond memories of seeing movies at the theater in the mall, the dollar theater (yes, one dollar to see a movie) off the loop, and the theater by Hasting’s. Unfortunately, what is now the Regal Tall City Stadium 14 moved into town. They quickly gained popularity and ran the other theaters out of business. With their competitors out of the picture, the big movie theater jacked up their prices, and the executives probably sat around a large table smoking cigars and laughing maniacally (probably). Since then, most Midlanders have gone to the big theater while making the occasional trip to the drive-​in. When I heard about Cinergy opening, I was excited to see a new kid on the block ready to take on the villain. Simba coming back to avenge Mufasa by vanquishing Scar. Unfortunately, Cinergy isn’t quite up to the task.
I went here a few days ago with my parents and my girlfriend to see the movie Frozen (which was pretty good). Here are some important things about the theater:
1. We didn’t have to wait in line to get tickets, because they had touch screen computers that you could buy the tickets from. You also got to select which seats you wanted to sit in. Unfortunately, the theaters are not that big so shows sell out quickly. We had to get tickets to a later showing than we wanted.
2. The seats are terrible. They are extremely uncomfortable, and all of us were constantly shifting around trying (unsuccessfully) to find a better position.
3. The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin has a great concept. You can order food and have it brought out to you during the movie. They have unsuccessfully tried to emulate this at Cinergy. Instead of having tables in front of the chairs and serving you the food directly, they put the food in a pick-​up area and you have to awkwardly fumble through the dark during the movie to get it. Also, the food is served in trays that resemble bedpans which can hook onto the seat in front of you. I can see this being a problem if the person in front of you ever shifts their weight during the movie.
4. The movie kept skipping. Seriously? Were they playing it using a bootleg DVD?
5. The place was clean. Hopefully it will stay that way.
6. When you walk in, there’s tons of kid-​friendly activities like a full arcade, laser tag, etc. However, the problem with making a place too kid-​friendly is that it becomes adult-​unfriendly. Kids were yelling and carrying-​on loudly in the area where we were trying to buy tickets. They should have separated the kid area from the main part of the cinema.
7. The prices were just as high as the Regal ($ 13 for the evening showing? Seriously?). Tickets aren’t even that expensive in San Francisco.
As much as I dislike the Regal Cinema, I can’t say that this place is a good substitute.

My husband and I were in Midland for one night so we thought we would see a movie. When I looked on Unilocal,I saw Cinergy got pretty bad reviews but there weren’t any other options for the movie we wanted to see. Lesson learned: listen to Unilocal!
The theater lets you book your tickets online and reserve your seat which is awesome. When we first walked in there was pure chaos. First you have to battle through hundreds of kids playing video arcade games just to get to the ticket kiosk. Then we headed to the concession line to order food. We read online they have a full menu. After waiting in a long line, we ordered a club sandwich and cookie sundae. The menu said we could add a side salad, but the woman at the counter «didn’t know how to add one» so we couldn’t get one. We also asked for the ice cream on the side so it didn’t melt on the hot cookie. She told us the food would be 45 — 60 minutes (our movie started in 20) so we ordered some popcorn as an appetizer. They gave us our food buzzer and we headed to the long line to enter the theater
After sitting down for less than 10 minutes and only a few bites into our popcorn, the buzzer rings! We meet the food runner to get our food and he doesn’t have a tray or silverware for us so we have to wait until he can run and get us some. Isn’t that an obvious necessity? The food was horrible! Club sandwich was soggy and the cookie was hard as a rock and cold. Ice cream was on top. We couldn’t even eat it … Unless we had a steak knife!
The theater was packed and everyone was quiet and respectful which was surprising because there were SO many teenagers in the lobby. The seats were comfortable and the theater was clean.
The last 20 minutes of the film skipped the entire time!!! It was so frustrating and everyone was getting angry.
The movie ended and everyone battled their way to the Cinergy exit. The place was still insanely crowded. There were way too many little kids around at 10 pm.
Overall our experience was horrible and we will not be coming back. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone except 13 years olds trying to find a boyfriend at the ski ball machine…

Great time enjoyed Clean movie theater and great customer service
Was our first time definitely be back
