Cinema Center

Great place to see obscure, art, short, and independent films. Very friendly staff, clean and accommodating. Love this place

Didn't even know there was a little events space here! Wonderful week of business and networking. Congratulations to Own your Success & Fort Wayne Start-up Week. #swfw2019

Nice smaller venue for movies. They carry independent titles as well. Cozy, very comfortable.

Very cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. We always enjoy our time there.

What a wonderful find! We wandered a bit after a conference at the Grand Convention Center finished on a Saturday. We had the evening to find something new, and we found just the thing! The films were not ones advertised on Netflix or Prime, and the center has an artsy feel and vibe. We were greeted with enthusiasm and allowed to purchase wine and very good beer while waiting for the curtain. We waited in a space where film makers can showcase their work to a small audience. The movie we watched was enthralling and not preceded with commercials. The seats were comfy and clean. The staff had a smile and offered us out-of-towners helpful information. We felt lucky to find the Fort Wayne Cinema Center.

Thank you Cinema Center for a fun evening! Lord Blood-Rah was awesome. It was fun to kick off the Halloween season by taking a step back to the iconic origins of the horror films. Can't wait for next year!

This place has a great staff and always picks out the most unique films, many of which you won't see at other theaters.

When it comes to picture quality, their new projector in the main theater room has propelled them above the competition for the best visual quality you can get in town. I'd love to see what Blade Runner 2049 or Dune 2 would look like on that thing.

When I first moved to Fort Wayne from Austin, Texas, the thing I missed most was having so many great movie theaters, and so I was so thankful to learn that Fort Wayne has it's very own art house theater. If independent movies are you're thing, you've got to check it out. And if you already know about Cinema Center, but you haven't been lately, you've been missing out. They've hosted awesome movie events like Braineaters' Ball, a Hitchcock-themed Oscar Party, a Spinal Tap Party, a poetry reading for On the Road, a hot dog night with Bravas, and the Midnight Movie series. Want to watch a movie outside and eat a burger? They've got that, too. And, I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of bigger and better things to come. Oh, and become a member! Members get reduced ticket prices and FREE POPCORN! How great is that?

I've written 50 plus? Reviews and somehow the Cinema Center was, forgotten? Well good for Fort Wayne. It does show that things don't have to get, well boring! There is something to do in "the fort". The Cinema Center makes for a great date spot(or girls night out). Here you won't run into small screaming children, loud movie goers who think it's funny to comment out loud, or people who are talking and crunching and munching constantly. I'd venture to say that most attendees are film fanatics as this theater shows smaller release films, foreign films and the like. If you want a Will Smith or Tom Cruise movie? Well after your date has watched either actor for ninety minutes. How do you think you will rate? A girl's father (or uncle) would take her to a Tom Cruse movie when she was twelve. A (girl's night out)? Thinking of all the reasons for not being with either actor? Thank god you won't find a Will Smith here! You also won't find tons of obnoxious previews or commercials that remind you to buy a coke or popcorn. It's all about the film here. I've come here and seen some great indy type films, and have found the experience to be positive and memorable. The theater is rarely totally full and the seats, while not brand new, are cozy. I also like the building. It's an older, not cookie cutter type. Neat!

Tonight's movie is only my second time being here, I'm rather picky!! I was 1 of 5 people for tonight, I felt like the theater was all mine. Cute place even has a small concession area, friendly staff and clean theater. Such a little treasure to Ft. Wayne!!

Not a lot of show times or varieties, but kudos to being the only place in FW to show independent filmmaking. Can be uber-clique-y with everyone trying to be so artsy. It would probably be eliminated if they had any competition.

This is the only place in Fort Wayne that I know of to see the latest indie films, so please support this theater! It's nothing fancy--don't go in expecting stadium seating or premium snacks. But it does have a nice artsy, low-key vibe, and despite the fact that it has just one screen, I've seen a wide variety of films there. Lincoln Life employees, as well as a guest, get in free with a Lincoln work ID, which means I don't have to pay the price of admission when I'm with my sister. However, I would gladly pay full price to see the top-rate films that the Cinema Center brings to Fort Wayne.

This is Fort Wayne's only independent movie theater. I don't really understand some of the previous commenters, how is one cliquey in a movie theater? Doesn't everyone pretty much just sit down and keep to themselves? Also, there is plenty of competition for this theater, Carmike on Dupont shows independent films regularly, so good for Cinema Center for outperforming the big boys in town at what they do best, showing independent films. I hear they will soon open the former Artlink painting gallery into a lounge, so maybe Cinema Center will be even a cooler place to hang out before and after a movie, especially if they serve booze. Cinema Center is definitely one of the only things worth the drive to downtown Fort Wayne (I'm from out of town). Also, if you become a member you are only paying 5 bucks for a movie, you can't beat that!

Cinema Center is a vital part of the arts culture in Downtown Fort Wayne. I have attended art shows in their creative space on the other side of the building. This time, my fiancé surprised me with a mid-week date and tickets to Anomalisa. As we pulled up the parking lot was extremely empty. We walked in with 5 minutes until the start of the movie to find that we were the only people there to view the film. Despite this, the staff members welcomed us and we're so helpful and friendly! Being in a customer service based job I applaud this extensively as the two of us kept those two employees from having an early night. The theatre is updated and the seats are comfortable. They serve a small selection of alcoholic beverages, popcorn and sweets made by a local sweets shoppe. I enjoyed the film and as we left we were sent off with another great interaction with the employees. I will definitely return!

Great place to watch an indie film. This is one of Fort Wayne's hidden gems. I just wish they would have a Rocky Horror Picture show night or a midnitw showing of "Dawn of the Dead" for some variety.

This place is a local treasure! I absolutely love going with friends, or alone. This place is like a cinematic sanctuary. A great touch...DeBrands Chocolates!
