This theatre needs some improvement. The tickets and concessions are in the same line. Totally inefficient! To make bad matters worse the kiosk machines were not working. I spent 40 minutes in line and basically missed the movie! IResidents want to patronize their local services and the convenience having devices near by. I live close by and would hate to drive past my local theatre to go somewhere else. Not to mention the economic impact of keeping dollars in any community.Please revisit this practice. It does not demonstrate a great deal of respect for your customers who can make your business successful.Thank you to the manager Mr. McKnight for his efforts to make this a pleasant experience for my kids and me.To the Owners and Management, “Do Better”. Your customers matter, your customer’s dollars matter and your presence in (Bowie) matters and is welcome and appreciated.

Just left this cinema. IT IS SO POORLY RUN! I ordered a hamburger that never came out. There were people in our seats and the manager refused to ask them to move. There was no one checking tickets. There was absolutely nothing stopping people from just walking in off the streets with their own food and no ticket and watching as many free movies as they wanted. There are no police and very incompetent workers and management. This theater is the reason why the industry is failing. Why pay ridiculous prices to watch movies that you can see for free at home. If the experience is flawed the next time the choice to stay home is easy. I chalked it up, got all of my money back and went to the laurel Regal only because they are competent there and because I now have two crying kids that want to see Sonic. DO NOT GO TO THE BOWIE, MD REGAL CINEMA!

Nice and clean. Seats are a bit narrow but comfortable. A gaming area and small eating section.

Over all I like the theater always clean I enjoy myself. The only thing is the tickets and concession stand are together I normally go to the self help to get my tickets but still have to wait in a long line to get food with people getting tickets. Other than that I am glad you guys are here. Love Regal Bowie

Today I went to see the movie Queen and Slim at the Regal Bowie location. Thank goodness I purchased my tickets online because this location decided to have the concession and ticket purchase areas combined which developed longer wait times. People were slightly baffled by the short staffing this theatre had to offer during this holiday (Thanksgiving) weekend. There was no one to ensure people were going towards the correct theatre room, so hypothetically if someone wanted to view a free movie screening this was optional due to the low security/staffing by this theatre.Seat quality (the feel of the seats) could improve. I understand this is an older theatre but seat comfort is a part of the movie experience.

We went to see Frozen 2 in 3D in theatre 4. It was not worth it. We received the 3D Glasses from the staff but ended up watching the movie like this view the picture. We changed seats, I left mid movie for a different pair of glasses and they still did not have the 3D effect nor made it clear. The picture was take from a IPhone 11 Pro Max. The movie was Blurred the entire time. Waste of 31.90 for 2 3D tickets

Went on a Monday afternoon. Slow line to get tickets ad only 1 young lady working both tickets and concessions. Thought Volume of the feature was rather loud. Good, fresh, warm popcorn.

Unbelievably dirty and no personnel to assist other than the already busy concession stand workers. If this is what automation takeover looks like; stop the press and rethink. Part of what makes movie going a treat is the human interactions outside of your home. This has always been a well maintained theater. I guess the overworked concession employees were too busy filling soda cups in lieu of cleaning up the spills. Come on Regal Regal Bowie; you can do better!

The staff members are typically very friendly and helpful. It is not a glitzy theater as it is a bit rough around the edges. The theater we watched a movie in today kind of smelled like a kitty litter box. Thankfully, it was not overbearing, so it didnt distract from the movie.

Bowie residents deserve a better movie experience than what this location provides. Why do we have to travel to Annapolis, Laurel or even Greenbelt to enjoy upgraded amenities, such as reserved seating, reclining seats and a variety of food choices? Note to owner - upgrade your theater. The money you spend on renovations now will increase your profits in the long run.

Its a standard multi-screen movie theater. There are either 12 or 14 separate screens. The cost is average. The drawback is that u have 2 go 2 the concession area to buy tickets. While this encourages patrons to buy refreshments at the same time, it severely slows the pace for those who just want tickets. They should go back to separate purchasing stations.

Review №12

Man, for this place to be in Bowie for this long, its becoming more and more disappointing. Hasnt been updated or upgraded or even renovated in over 10+ years. Maybe longer than that. I mean nothing is consistent in this place. Either the the food is somewhat good or sometimes its not. A lot of times theres no manager there to address certain issues. The seats are not updated and the screens are just not that good to look at. Im mean 3D is not even clear or noticeable.Who ever owns or runs this place needs to take a hard look at this place and make some improvements. People come there every day, and all its doing is taking peoples money and not giving them a true movie experience.

The theatre was mostly empty, which I like. The one gentlemen who was running the ticket sales and snack stand was very helpful and courteous. The theatre was clean and luckily the Movie I decided to watch, I was the only one in the whole theatre. A cousin of mine and his wife gave me a gift card for Christmas and I just got around to using it. The movie I saw was called Dont Let Go which turned out to be pretty good. I originally went to see the comedy Good Boys, but walked out less than 5 minutes after it started, definitely not the movie for me.

Review №16

Seats were substandard; it was a holiday (MLK) and they were selling tickets AND concession at the concession stand. (Yes they had ticket kiosks, but we had coupons) So it was very crowded, with long lines. They shouldve planned better for a holiday.

Smells pretty musky in here... but great movie. Had to purchase tickets at the concession stand. There was no designation as to which line was for food and which one was for tickets. Maybe I lucked ul and ended up in the right line.

Very Dirty, also, I skipped out of movie to buy some pizza and after I paid I waited for almost 20 minutes after realizing they never submitted my order to kitchen staff! Very irresponsible kids working this place. Food is very generic as to save money on stuff they sell for higher price. Never Going Back.....Ever!

Staff was courteous, and the kiosk check-in was fast and easy. Theater was clean with comfortable seats, but not much legroom. Ordered a pizza I had to wait about 15 minutes for, but it was still wet dough in the middle when I started to eat it. Was unable to eat the raw pizza.

I love Bowie Theater, always clean and neat. The customer service is quick and inviting. The attendees smile, and offer professional service. The bathrooms are clean, and there are many. They have games for the kids, if u have to wait. The food is pretty good too.

Review №24

I went because I had been given a gift card. It was the closest one to my home in Upper Marlboro, MD.Seats should be thrown out.Management would have a packed house if they replaced the seats, updated the flooring, and food area.Certainly insurance would allow a partial write-off for better sanitation, etc.Someone could get ill and sue for the bacteria growing in the seats, floors and probably the cooking equipment.It is such a great location!One of the investors/owners should look into this - it would mean more return on money invested.God help them see what we saw when we visited last fall (2018).Makes one wonder how it has managed under these conditions thus far.A little research on other theater owners/investers who have renovated/updated their facilities would go a long way.Alternatively, put it up for sale and let another team purchase and do the work......Its a diamond in the rough! Anyone can see that!

I like it here, this is my go-to theater whenever a new movie comes out. A standard cleanliness, large parking lot, and located next to the shopping centers. Theyre are consistent in playing popular movies back to back to we can always find tickets for movies.

Review №26

I entered the theater, there was no one in the 4 ticket booth, me and my friend walked to the popcorn counter and find out thats where we get the movie tickets. No sign stating to go to the popcorn counter to get tickets. I paid for the movies and our refreshments, the attendant told us to go to no. 14. We sat in the movies for 10 or 15 minutes no movie. I went back and forth to the counter asking for the manager to start the movie. The manager came to theater 14, and said the movie was in 13 and its been playing for 28 minutes. I said I want my money back for the movies and refreshments. The manager returned all my money but the day was ruined, we both were looking forward to that movie. The younger staff was just laughing like it was a joke and the manager didnt discipline them at all. Im not going back to the Bowie theater.

Review №29

Food and popcorn is very expensive. I was in the concession line for about 20 minutes. The workers were slow. If Im spending $10 for popcorn I shouldnt have to wait more than 5 minutes in line. My husband wanted chicken tenders and the cashier told me that we would have to wait 10 more minutes for the chicken tenders to get ready. So we just decided to get a refund for the chicken tenders since the movie had already started. I was a little upset because we didnt get to see the beginning of the movie because we had waited so long in the line. On a more positive note, the movie that we saw was good though. It had me crying. It was very inspiring.

Review №37

It’s very disappointing that patrons are giving this movie theater 5 stars, how can we get an upgrade if the mediocre conditions are tolerated. I am proud to live in Bowie and always look in my community first for entertainment but compared to theaters in nearby cities ours is out of date. The average income in Bowie is around $109,000 and we’ve been listed as a top cities in America, why does our movie theater have sunk in seats, sticky floors, dark bathrooms and limited audio. I’ve spoken to several people that live outside of Bowie, unfortunately they no longer visit our theater. I appreciate the respectful staff, employment opportunities and having a conveniently located venue for my family BUT Bowie deserves an upgrade in the entertainment area. Let’s hold business and local government accountable for making this city attractive to outsiders and not just acceptable for residents.

The theater is always clean, the seats are comfortable and theres normally plenty of parking. There are no matinee show prices as I have seen, and I could be wrong; but that would make the it easier for larger families that love the theater experience like mine to attend more frequently. We enjoyed the new Spider Man

Definitely not one of the better Regal cinemas Ive ever been to. The staff is the worst Ive seen in a long time at a theater. Food orders were wrong, twice. Not just mine, either but the other people in line in front of me. Tickets were charged wrong as well and when we asked them to fix it I was asked You really want me to refund you $2 dollars? On the plus side, the theater itself was pretty clean.

This review reflects the perspective of a Deaf individual.I had to sign my name on a sheet of paper along with my personal contact information to receive the same movie experience as a hearing person.Forgive me, but am I wrong that that seems crazy?Anyways. AMC doesnt have a sign out sheet on their captioning technology and when I spoke to the manager about this he said theres nothing I can do. If you manage the facility theres surely something you can do if not simply talk to your superior.Overall, let down with the apathy for their treatment of those with disabilities, and their captioning boxes cut out three times during the movie.If Regal reads this kindly consider a policy change to reflect a human treatment of the deaf.

Review №63

I havent been here in years because it fell into disrepair. The whole place smelled like mold and the staff was disrespectful. Fast forword to now 10/2019 and I was totally impressed with the remodeling done here. No strange smell. The staff is very accomodating. Although people complain about the seats not reclining like at other theaters, the seats are OK with me. I always went to the Regal Cinemas in Crofton, Md. I probably will continue to go there from time to time but now this theater has become good alternative. Compared to how it used to be Im fine with this place now.

Review №64

The movie theater has a bad smell. The chairs are uncomfortable. Its dark and gloomy in the lobby. The bathrooms are very clean. The theater needs to be renovated.

Review №65

I had promised my 5 year old daughter and her friend that I would take them to see a movie for behaving well earlier in the day. I normally go to Waugh Chapel in Crofton as it is a nicer and new theatre. But the times did not work for my schedule. We decided on Dora which played at 1705 on 07/26/19. Upon entering theatre ( I believe it may have been 6 or 7), we were immediately hit with an overwhelming smell of off brand Febreze and feet. It was such a heavy smell that it was difficult to breath. I settled the kids and went in search of a manager. The manager walked in and agreed it was a stifling smell. He walked over to a dehumidifier that was place in the bottom left of the room by the emergency exit. Apparently it was full and needed to be dumped, which he took out of the room. He then returned with an empty container and turned it back on. My daughter started to complain of having trouble breathing due to the smell. I don’t know if there was a water leak or a backed up drain. But the room smelled completely moldy that someone tried to cover up with air fresheners. There was only 2 other people in the theatre who were also complaining of the smell. 2 other people had walked in, scrunched up their noses and left. I stated to the manager that if I was with another adult or by myself I would have left immediately. But trying to leave at that point with two smaller children would have ruined the week so I was stuck. An apology or a partial refund would have gone a long way. This whole theatre is falling apart. I will never return.

We arrived early and reviewed the attractive food menu. But when we ordered we were told the kitchen was closed so we couldnt get what we wanted. It seems all that was available was candy and popcorn. It would have been nice if they had at least posted a sign somewhere.Then in the theater, the pre-show entertainment was showing but with audio and no video. When I complained to the staff I got a very unenthusiastic response. But they did eventually fix it.On this visit the movie was good but that was about the only thing.

My favorite theater to go to while in my hometown! The area around the theater is nice and has food places and a shopping centre nearby. The theater itself has good staff and there are hardly any long lines on the discount day (Tuesday). I cant speak on how the service is on other days because I only go on Tuesdays, but a lot of people go on discount day, especially at night. The service is still good and you are very likely to have a good movie experience!

This is a typical Regal location, with a decent staff. My only real complaint is that the chairs arent nearly as good quality as those that are in their other locations I have been to. Those that have been here know what Im talking about, the arms dont go up and the seats dont lean back. Also the mens bathroom on the left side of the theater have a better setup than the ones on the right side. I think that its odd that they have different hand drying systems (the left side has the strong air dryer). Also we came here the weekend that the new Star Wars came out and it was practically dead, another surprise but a good one for my nephew and I.
