It’s barely any seating space inside of the theater. You will be uncomfortable. Food choices aren’t update. I would rather drive to Pearl, MS theater or Philadelphia, MS theater than go sit in this theater. Major need of updating! If you just have to go.

I’m only giving this one star because the popcorn has changed. I feel like y’all are ripping people off. The popcorn taste more like the microwaveable ones. Their not small and tender but more stale.

We enjoy our movie theater. The candy vending machines will accept your money and not give you anything. David. At the ticket sales area is super nice and very helpful.counter help is very nice too.

Recording of show times is messed up !!Keeps repeating message after you enter zip code. I just want to see a movie. Are they open for business?

I truly apologize for the previous rating. I dont even recall rating the movie theater let alone a one star. That was an accident. I had an amazing time this past Saturday watching the film What men want. The staff was so friendly and the facility was clean. They were so patient with me. I showed up late for my movie and they game me the opportunity to catch the movie at a later time. I truly enjoyed my birthday outing with my friends.

Only theatre close to hotels. Small screen. $8.50 Matinee. A lil outdated but clean. Not as bad as all these other reviews are insinuating.If they want a premium theatre they should drive to one.

Times are changing but this theater isnt....ticket prices are fair,it almost feels like im paying tribute to get a soda and popcorn...for my family of four i will spend almost $100 for tickets,4 sodas and 4 popcorns candy for my wife...the seating in meridian is similar to sitting on a dc 9 or dc 10 airplane....i went to the cinepolis luxury cinemas in dallas,tx a few yrs ago while on vacation....the chairs were like sitting in my recliner at home,plenty of elbow space between people,full bar,computer display so you can pick your seats,they cook and deliver food to you even when movie is showing,very similar to alamo draft house...now beer,wine,and well drinks where a little pricey,i got a pint of blue moon for $8.00....lots of handy cap facilities,elevators,escalators,wheel chair friendly spots in the theaters.....this is the future and its happening now....the owner and staff should go to these new theaters,i hear there is one in hattiesburg...

Most of the seats are broken.. like from where heavier people have sat in them and caused them to bend.. they definitely need new chairs or need to fix the ones they have

Terrible quality audio and video, dirty, rundown with broken seats in auditoriums. Does not show most movies. Understaffed. No customer service. Edit: just walked out of 1917 because the screen was flashing so much in was seizure inducing. Told the manager and she said that was how the movie was suppose to be!

Nice theater inside of the mall. Theater is small, but so is the mall; not all that surprising. Employees can be nice, but they can also really look like they dont want to be there and youre just a bother. I guess it depends on the day and who is working at the time. The theaters seem to be well kept and relatively clean. Generally a good experience over all (usually).

Could have BETTER acting employees wit less attitude

Seats uncomfortable, and somebody had a cold and honking on their nose... It was hard to enjoy the movie... I almost wanted me leave... I paid a fortune for my drink and popcorn for some sick person to in there

Need to enforce the no phone rules Hard to watch a good movie with a bright phone shinning. People also talking on their phones during the movie. Will rent the movie at home so I can enjoy it.

It has improved since last time my family attended. I am pleased that more people were at the concession stand. One thing that could enhance the experience would be at least by 33 percent off the food on certain days.

Tried to overcharge me twice for tickets and then for refreshments. Very dirty theater and they will not tell others to be quiet while watching the movie. Had an issue with some people being very loud in the movie and staff refused to tell them to keep it down. I asked for a refund was refused. I will not recommend this theater to anyone other than to tell them to go somewhere else. It looks like the ghetto!!!!!

Better than some theaters, always has great selections and enjoyed the movie

Had an awesome night out with my sister

I got into the movies pretty quicly

Nice service and people. Prices are high

Cant believe it cost $10 per person to see a movie now. Food and tickets have skyrocketed since I came a few years ago. But literally everything about the theater is the SAME. Our theater had a weird smell to it and a small portion of the screen did not work the entire movie. Pretty sure I wont see another movie there any time soon

I enjoyed the movie but the cost of a drink was just as much as the movie ticket

Was not crowded and can order tickets on the website.

Decent but could use some work and maybe a few upgrades

Had a great time theater is clean staff is helpful

Very uncomfortable seats, inattentive condiments staff. Too many commercials

Honestly we can do better. The only thing going up is the price every year, meanwhile the place still look inappropriate for a place like Meridian. Sometimes I rather drive 2 hours to Jackson or Hattiesburg to watch a two hours movie. The seats are old and not comfortable at all. I wish they would care just a little bit and fix that place. And please dont even order nachos, is just cheap bag of chips and cheese to the side and is extremely expensive

Ticket prices are not bad. Snacks and beverages are overpriced. Seating is basic and uncomfortable. The entire theater has a smell and doesn’t appear to have been cleaned since it was built over a decade ago. Also, the location has become very unsafe with multiple shooting incidents in the mall and food court area just outside the main theater entrance. I would never take my children here.

Seats uncomfortable, sound is off. The concession are over priced especially since the theater rooms are not clean. No stadium seating, paying extra for 3-d is pointless. It looks bad. 30 minutes of commercials before movie starts. The entire theater needs upgrading. Would recommend going to Pearl or Hattiesburg

Its ok, the seats are old and semi comfy, its over 20 yrs old, it needs to be renovated

The only movie theater in Meridian Mississippi. There are 9 rooms to accommodate 9 movies. The movies are so expensive!! The owner is more interested in making a buck then to have the theater flourish. This town need another theater !

A week agoI live in Las Vegas . Now I know its not a fare comparison to judge this theater to the ones in Vegas . Anyway this place resembles the discount $2 theaters in Vegas. I was absolutely shocked at the prices charged for this run down poor quality sound absolutely the worst seats ever.. Concession stand prices were actually higher in most cases than Las Vegas!!!! Oh and southern hospitality is definitely not found here.. Thanks

Only game in town...pretty reasonable prices.

I still love a good movie, but the food is too pricey !! And so is the tickets my God ! I am happy to see that u are tougher on those hard headed kids sneaking into the movies . now if u could do something with them fighting outside !I think u could get a bigger crowd if u came down on price . but I do enjoy a good movie

I am a Meridian Native. I love this movie theater. It is the only decent theater we have in Meridian. The only cinema theater we have, period. I have no complaints about it because I am used to it. If you dont like it, sorry. Spend a whole a lot of money and travel somewhere else to a better theater where they charge you $11-$12 just to see a movie. At least it would be better for you. If you are not from, you have other choices. If everyone knows Meridian, they should know we dont have much to offer in the city. They should know that there isnt much to do anymore. You do have a choice to come here or not. If you dont like it, dont go. Wait for the movie to come out on DVD. I have always had the best service here at the theater. When I went into a theater, it was clean, but you cant blame the staff for it dirtiness. Blame yourself for being messy. True enough its their job to clean up AFTER you, but you are the one creating the mess, not the staff. The staff is awesome. They try hard. They work hard. I would know. I will always love this theater. Its awesome.

The regal 9 cinema in meridian MS. Would have been a good experience and a 5 Star if it wasn’t for the AWFUL customer service at the concession stand. The lady was extremely and I mean EXTREMELY RUDE to us. For no reason might I add! She acted like she was entitled and like we were trash. Don’t appreciate her attitude at all. She ruined it for us. And they were out of pretty much everything as far as food and drinks. Get better customer service and you would get a 5 star rating.

Nice little theater. Food prices are of course ridiculous.

Movie was good. Snacks as always were way over priced. Its just popcorn not cavier .

Terrible theater. Smells musty, most the seats are broken or breaking, screen looks awful in most of the theaters, sound is sometimes messed up, terrible service, AC is sometimes not turned on in the summer, and it is more expensive than some theaters I went to when I lived in Charlotte, NC, which were MUCH nicer. If you are in Meridian passing through, spend your time at the nearby park or going to eat downtown. Dont see a movie here.

The theater was not clean. Trash everywhere

Price gouging at snack bar

I will agree with my husband 100% on his review. This place would be a $1 theater in Las Vegas. Some of the worst seats ever . Floor sticky dirty . People on cell phones talking !! Movie didnt start as stated I went in 10 minutes before listed Start time movie already going .. The concession stand was ok but the prices where ridiculous for such a bottom end theater. In some cases as much as 25% higher than Las Vegas!! My husband and I live in the beautiful city of Las Vegas. As my husband stated probably not fare comparison to rate this mall theater to Regal theaters in Las Vegas.. But he is exactly right on saying this place would be a $1 theater in Vegas. 1 maybe 2 star theater if lucky with 5 star prices.. unbelievable!!!

Hasnt been updated in 23 years. Old seats. Overpriced food and drinks. Speakers cut out. Youd be disgusted to see the place with the lights on.

Great quality movies. Kind of expensive

Nice I cant wait for Aladdin !

SUCKS! Its 2018, when are you going to catch up with this century? People are driving to Tinsletown, just to get Room for their knees and Comfortable seating...aka Recliners! I dont mind paying more for the creature comforts.

The prices keep going up but not the quality. Its been open for 20 years and there has absolutely no changes or renovations. The seats are uncomfortable and the space is so small.

Its ok. The mall is dying and you can tell. The theater is nice but outdated and a little to loud. Ill be back as long as they are ipen

Super uncomfortable, never clean, the chairs arent sloped hardly any so you look up the whole time and it hurts your neck. I go out of town for movies now and almost never go unless I have to. Not to mention the mall isnt safe at night anymore. So theres always that.

Movie was good but seats are very uncomfortable!

We went to the movie theater to see a movie. The staff needs lessons on customer service though. The staff we encountered were rude and unfriendly. Prices are high for popcorn and drinks. But my grand daughter and I enjoyed the show together and that was the main thing. If it wasnt the only one close I would go elsewhere.

The tickets are high when compared to the price in Peal. The seats had trash and gum in them. Im positive that they have either bed bugs or fleas or ants that bit the hell out of me. They lie about the showing not being crowded just to get you in there. Not a very good experience at all.

Great movie place

Its better than nothing. Its time meridian got a better movie theatre.

The.Volume is Way too Loud !!!

Good & friendly staff, clean lobby & restrooms. Seats arent very comfortable.

Getting a little worn. Showing its age. Particularly compared to more modern facilities in Hattiesburg.

Loved the movie Cats!

Great and peaceful Im an early goer

I had a great time.

By far the worst movie theater I’ve ever attended. Not only were the tickets overpriced, but the seat were set at ZERO incline, so all I saw was the back of people’s heads. Would not recommend.

Staff us great concession prices are outrageous.

Movie was good, prices were okay. Will stop by again

Movie was great quality, food prices outrageous, seating very uncomfortable, $43.00 for 4 tickets. Horrible experience. Will not return.

I have lived in Meridian for over 18 years and have enjoyed many movies every year at UA Bonita Lakes 9. I am reluctant to ever return to this theater. Tonight I took my wife, sister, and five grandchildren to see Wreck it Ralph Destroys the Internet. We spent over $140 on tickets and refreshments. The screen was black. We heard the song track of the preliminaries but had no images on the screen. Several people, including my wife, went out to inform them of the situation. Movie time was slated for 6 PM. At 6:08 an employee came and informed us they were having difficulty and were having to reboot the computer. It would take 25 minutes or longer. Since there were 25 minutes of previews, she promised to skip them and start with the movie so we would not be so late getting out.Nearly an hour later the movie finally started, but started with previews. After about 10 minutes someone made it skip to the start of the movie. About 10 minutes before the end of the movie the lights came on, the sound track was dropped, and elevator music came on. We missed the final dialogue of the film, which was an excellent movie to that point. Finally, after the credits were showing the sound was restored. My wife was told they had three managers, but no one cared enough or was smart enough to realize that the late start would cause us to miss the end of the movie when programing brought up the lights and killed the sound.The theater is dirty. The seats are old, worn out and uncomfortable, and compared to Pearl, the prices are too high. It is the only theater in the area. From now on I am inclined to drive to Pearl to see a film. After 18 years, I am done with UA Bonita Lakes 9 unless significant improvements are made.

Theater is ok. Seating needs replaced badly, very uncomfortable. Picture is great.

The food is overpriced and the theater is okay.

It was fun. Very expensive I have the app it can be cheaper.

Not a lot of stores but not that bad. Theres still some good stores

Very cozy theater,nice staff,good food,great time with the fam!!!!!

Dont know what employees they encountered but we attend often especially my mother. (She has moviepass). The staff is very kind if there is a problem they take care of it right away. They smile and do a great job. The bathroom is clean. We have never noticed any problem with the air conditioning unit. Yes some of the chairs are worn but we are a heavy nation (excessive weight) #TeamBonitaLakesCinema

The movie was great. First time here and I will be back.

Great movies and great prices

First time I came to this theater they kicked us out of our movie saying Were not playing the movie at this time. There goes eight bucks.

Its a good place to go for a movie. But wish they come down on the snack prices for people with tight budgets. We would like to enjoy them snacks too! And the sound, they got it way too loud .

Great movie tonight. Really enjoyed it

The seating far as being comfortable... is awful. They need new seating. The tickets are ridiculously priced. Its hot in the theatre. And the food prices are beyond ridiculous. Two times worse than the movie tickets.

My granddaughters enjoy the movies that we watched here. I like the variety of the theaters of the multiplex.

Not much Variety. Simple food court could use some new places.Only mall within 1.5 hours so they should offer more.With 81,000 people within 45 minutes drive they could get a lot more business.

I have seen better mall theaters. I am disappointed that there isnt a premier screen that is bigger and better than the rest. Other than size difference all of them are the same. Need to update seats to either tall back or softer cushions. Wish they could be stadium seating but that would be too big of a project. Another wish would be an XD screen/sound!! Only theater in the area though.

Needs more space and seating is comfy, but could be improved. Other than that not a bad experience.

Auditorium #2 is like a sauna. Its ridiculous that I paid to see a movie and was miserable the whole time. Told two different staff people about it but they obviously did nothing or there was nothing they could do because it was still as hot at the end of the movie.The ownership needs to do something to remedy this problem. I saw a post on here from two months ago complaining of the same thing.From now on Ill just wait for the movie to come out on video and sit in the comfort of my home.

The movies are great but the snack foods prices are high. I wished that they could come down the prices on snack foods. The sound of the movies are great. Also, I wished that they work on the air conditioning and the prices of the movies. The prices of the movies are very high.

*shrug* its a movie theater... Terrible seating amenities. Uncomfortable. We shall see if they would ever think of investing in better accommodations for their customers.

Uncomfortably hot. I dont expect a lot from a theater but it has to be cool in the summer. The theater was clean and the staff was nice enough but my showing was pretty full and the temp never got close to cool.

Awesome movie lion King

Air conditioning doesnt work properly. Auditorium 1 is a Sauna during the summer.

The snacks are high but they keep it pretty clean and always show new movies. The price for tickets is not bad and the staff are nice. I dont know why people give it a bad rating its not like there is anywhere else to watch movies in meridian.

Apparently armed police officers are used to regularly patrol the theater during the movie. They walk in between people to tell them to get off phones or be quiet. Absolutely ridiculous.

Ok. Just like any other theatre out there. Nothing special about this place. Maybe that it is in a mall.

Saw Aquaman. Was an awesome movie

Outdated seats & theater & concession counters

The ticket is very high for what you get. Honestly if I brought my chair from home it would have been better. Also no military discount available

Snack prices are ridiculously high. Then they dont have any of the snacks u want when u ask them. The staff is not friendly. They ignore u and have an attitude when u ask for anything. Seats are dated auditorium are numbered but dont have movie titles on any of them therefore making it difficult to find tickets have different numbers than auditorium numbered seriously with excessive prices one would expect what was paid for ijs I give this theater a huge thumbs down. . DO NOT GO HERE.

This movie theater is extremely outdated. The food is higher then the movie ticket itself and the seats are uncomfortable. They just need a complete overhaul of an update

Pretty great experience some of the staff were a little rude at the snack bar but the rest were great! The food wasnt the best but the movies are always new and a great experience. We will definitely be back though!

When I am in town visiting family and they suggest going to see a movie, I cringe. Even the adult only discount for a matinee is a joke. Regular (non-3D) adult matinee tickets are $8.44 and children are $8.23, and after 6pm adult tickets are $10.26 each. There are no movies that begin before 12pm - even on weekends or school breaks. A family of five going to a 12pm show will spend $41 and some change on just the tickets, let alone the over priced food/drinks. If the same family goes to the movie after 5pm, the movie tickets will cost closer to $50.For a great movie experience, I would rather drive to Pearl or Hattiesburg. More comfortable seating, cleaner facilities, nicer staff, and better quality sound/screen.

Great movie. Clean facilities

High priced and the seats are uncomfortable.

I was concerned after reading the reviews, but I must say that it wasnt as dirty as people made it out to be, it is a little dated but it was clean, the floors were not sticky and the employees were nice. I saw many one stars, but I think they must really have started stepping up their game there. Ill be going back. The popcorn was good too.

Clean and safe atmosphere
