    The matinee (before 4pm) $5 ticket price is great. The seats are comfortable and the auditorium incline is nice. Also, the screen is clean and free of distracting imperfections like many other Charlotte theaters.

    Took my niece to see an afternoon movie and was pleasantly happy to see the matinee pricing and the super clean theatre.  The chairs are super comfortable (almost TOO comfortable...lol) and the staff from the ticket counter to the snack counter were all friendly and helpful.  Great location and exceptional experience!  Will definitely return!

    This is a really nice theatre.  Unlike most theatres that are located in remote part of a strip mall, this one sits in the middle of a fairly new retail/residential development.  

    The $5 matinees are great!  The seats are comfortable and rock.  Concessions, like any theatre, are expensive but they seem extra high here because the sizes are smaller but the prices are the same for S, M, L as you would get a a big chain theatre.    I do think popcorn is slightly better here though.

    It's a clean, comfortable, well-staffed movie theater with plenty of new releases. There are plenty of foodie options near by and parking was a breeze.

    But the best part?! $5 matinees. And a matinee at THIS theater is *any day before 4 pm.* I think my head just exploded. That's really all you need to know.

    The only downside? No Fandango online ticket ordering...but frankly, after learning about the $5 matinee pricing, it's no big thang.

    I love this theater... well for a matinee thus far. Went there today to escape the freaking heat and the anger I must pass from the DMV of NC -- what a major f-up those people are, but that in its self is another story! Fuck the DMV of NC! Breathe... breathe... om

    Ok back to the theater! Love, love love the $5 matinee's! The theater may be somewhat smaller than other's I've been too, but for a matinee it was PERFECT. Thank goodness I brought a shoulder wrap, as the AC was cranking like a crank whore.

    I ate before I got there, so I was happy to see the Halloweenish individual
    sized candies for $0.50 a pop... just enough sug for sugar here!

    Will I return... you bet. Luckily Portifino's is in the same center... they have yummy pizza and chick ceasars! ''

    This a great place to beat the heat but not your meat!!!!

    Decent enough movie theater if you decide to go during the day, but forget about it if you go at night and to see the new release of a popular movie.

    My wife and I went to see Paranormal Activity 3 last night. Unfortunately, we only got to hear about 1/3 of the movie for the constant running commentary and unnecessary screaming. When I complained to the management that they needed to get the audience under control, the response I received from a Charlotte police officer was "what do you want me to do, there's 250 of them in there". When I spoke to the manager, her response was, "what do you expect on opening night of a horror movie; there's nothing I can do to stop it". Furthermore, the officer then stated, "This is why we recommend that normal adults who actually want to see the movie don't come out on opening weekend."

    When another member of the audience asked for a refund for the same reason, the theater manager stated, "We don't give refunds. If the audience was being disruptive, you could have come and told us." This was AFTER she said there was nothing they could, or would, do about it.

    Nicole had me at, "$5 before 4pm." Everyday! Seriously?! Serious.

    It is a great theater and parking is plentiful. It's worth the drive and it's in a beautiful area. The center has been designed to look like a little southern village. Very clean, bright, and looks like they have fun shops and restaurants there.

    The popcorn is freshly popped and tasted like movie popcorn should! Unfortunately for me, their Icee machine was on the fritz the day I went. In retrospect, that was a good thing. I didn't need an extra pound of sugar in my system that day anyway.

    The seats are comfortable and clean. Bonus. The employees are friendly too. If the line is too long out front, run inside to the kiosk; you won't get an additional charge to use this and it can be a tad faster if you're running behind.

    Thanks, Ayrsley! Date night has become more affordable...well, make that date afternoon.

    A nice theater complex that doesn't get too crowded.

    Unfortunately, my experience watching Captain America last Friday night was ruined by a group of 7-8 teens who kept laughing and talking throughout the movie.  This is what happens when you go to a part of town that has some sketchy residents.

    I think I'll stick to Stonecrest next time.

    The wife and I love coming here on Sunday's! $5 movie and $5 popcorn. Just as close as some of the other theaters near us, but the price is so much better. Theater seating is nice with rockers on the chairs. Make sure to bring the sunglasses with you though, as leaving a dark theater into the blazing sun stings the eyeballs!

    Very nice experience!  Been here twice, about six months apart.  Both rated about 4 stars.  I will have to say the "Ayrsley Town" concept is fleshing out a little bit better than on my first visit.

    Very nice, and comfortable seating... without the "uptown" experience we've been reading about so much recently.  It does seem odd to me that so many of the detractors of that deal have been outta towners...

    Anyhoo... a few friends (i.e., fellow geeks) from work bought tix online for an after work showing of the new Star Trek movie.  Went over and picked up our tix after work, and strolled to Red Lion for "a sip or two."

    Great venue for a movie, great sound, no charge for parking, easy access on-n-off I-485 (at S. Tryon).

    Note:  Buying tix online has a $1 transaction charge.... best to pool the purchase.  Damn, movies are expensive these days!  $.8.50 regular adult ticket.  :(  Didn't buy any snax... you know that's a rip-off! (plus I had the fried pickles over at Red Lion...)

    BTW:  New Star Trek movie is AWESOME!!  Great job!

    If I have my choice of theaters, I'll come here every time.  Granted, it doesn't hurt that it's so close to where I live--but convenience isn't the only benefit.  You get the benefits of a large theater (stadium seating, all the latest blockbusters) without the long lines, noise, and crowding that can make movie going so unpleasant.  This is by far the cleanest theater I've seen in Charlotte (though only time will tell how well it will age).  There's plenty of parking and the seats are very comfortable.  They have sprinkled LCD monitors throughout the main area, which give it a bit of an upscale feel.  

    Got time to kill before an evening movie?  Hit up one of the nearby bars (Red Lion, Wild Wing) or restaurants (Salsa's, Portofinos), all within walking distance of the theater.  Or, come here for a matinee and there's a good chance you'll have the theater to yourself!

    This is one of the cheapest movie theaters I've ever been to. The maintee is $5! You can't beat that! The concession stand is not that bad, i always get the $5 nachos and a drink; which usually spoiles my appetite cuz I've eaten so much. Its also a comfortable theater, nice and roomy, usually the right temperature and they offer 3D movies. I've seen a bunch of movies here! Its never really packed, so that means no long lines or over crowded theaters! Its also about 10mins from my house, so it gets 2 thumbs up from me!

    Very clean and very comfortable theater, non-matinee movies are $8.50 and the concession stand (if you must) is the usual highway robbery. The "stadium-style" seats are well cushioned and they aren't crushed together and the stairs are not steep at all..

    Plenty of good food within walking distance - Salsa's, Saffron, Wild Wing Cafe and a burger joint called "Eat Here Now".

    Parking is plentiful and more is coming with a deck nearly complete. It's reasonably well lit and I understand there is private security during the weekend evenings.

    It can be a little difficult to find since the whole neighborhood is new and your GPS might not have it. From Tryon Blvd, go south from I-485. It is the very next traffic light. Turn left.

    I used to live by this place and still somewhat do, but tonight was the first time I went to this theater.  I had passes for an advance screening of True Grit.  We arrived about an hour early since this movie has been getting great reviews.  The parking was easy enough but getting into Ayrsley was the usual pain in the butt.  The theater is large and clean.  The seats are comfortable and the top row of seats has plenty of leg room for my 6'4" frame.  The heat was cranked up to a hundred degrees before the movie started (maybe to sell more ice cream and Icees?) but they adjusted it.  Concession prices were high but not as high as Regal.  I'd go back to this theater if it was easier to get to, closer to my house, and offered a good loyalty program like Regal.  Another plus is that it didn't seem to be infested with teenagers, other than the ones working.
