The story of "Movie Quest" revolves around a unique concept of combining movie watching with interactive quests in a virtual theater setting. While the game is still in early access and has faced criticism for its rushed development and lack of polish, players appreciate the fun and engaging quests, such as fetching items and cleaning tasks, which contribute to a lighthearted and entertaining experience. Despite its flaws, the game holds potential for future improvements and offers a creative way to enjoy movies with friends.
- “Movie Quest is a game that offers you to create your own experience with it.”
- “You get the feeling of being in a real cinema, lots of laughs to be had when doing quests (picking up poop) fellow players sitting on the toilet to do a poop.”
- “Not only can you watch some great movies (even though they are older movies, they are still great) you can also do quests in-game to earn experience and other things.”
- “Absolute garbage. You're better off playing the cinema gamemode on Garry's Mod or Bigscreen on Meta Quest; both are way better than this.”
- “Everything also seems rushed, from character creation to additional side things like quests and games.”
- “There are a few quest givers that mostly offer fetching quests and one with a tiny bit of exploration.”

Gameplay is criticized for frequent server disconnections and poorly functioning mechanics, leading to a frustrating experience. While the core actions like jumping, running, and throwing popcorn are straightforward, many players feel that the overall design lacks cohesion and polish. There is hope for future improvements, such as the addition of more interactive props.
- “I just don't find it fun to be kicked off a server 4 times after less than 30 minutes of gameplay.”
- “Private lobbies don't work; a lot of mechanics feel like they've just been thrown together, and some don't even work.”
- “The gameplay is simple; you can jump, run, crouch, and throw popcorn at others. I saw other props around, and I hope I can grab that toy sword and fight with a few other moviegoers in the future.”
