Went to see the new bad boys. Seating was your average old style theater seating. Seemed comfortable enough. Theater appeared clean although they could use a little more lighting outside since it is located in a sketchy area. Movie was great until the end. 2 kids come in that looked about 12 or 13 and talked through the entire last 20 or so minutes of the movie. Saw the kids go behind the concession stand so apparently they are kids of an employee or owners. Will probably not be back due to the issue with the kids.

Seats are nice. Employees are nice except the one that was walking in front of my granddaughter and I. We were late to see getting to our seats so we were walking fast and he was in front of us spinning a long chain and almost hit my granddaughter.

Not a bad place at all. Except for their pretzels. The soft pretzels. They are horrible. They taste like raw dough.

I was asked what could have made the visit better. The prices at the concession stand are a little pricey, maybe come up with some better value prices on combos or even individual items. The employees were okay, but a little lacking on the customer service side. Make a better attempt to keep bed bug issues down. Word around town that this theater has them pretty often. Dont get me wrong your theater is not a horrible place to enjoy a movie, but you asked and these are some suggestions. Thank you for asking for my opinion, that matters.

Went on Super Tuesday and only paid $5 for tickets! They have the most reasonably priced concession stand of any theater Ive been to. Movie had a great picture and quality sound.

Review №13

Really friendly staff, great place to watch a movie. Seats are comfortable enough, everything is kept pretty clean, I rarely ever have any negative experiences here and go pretty regularly. Its still funny to me that it was built next to active railroad tracks, though.

Review №14

The atmosphere was friendly. Prices were even keel for theatre pricing. No complaints there. Possibly a bit more staff needed to curb the long lines and keep fresh popcorn at the ready. The theatre could have been a bit more cleaned up in between movies, too much trash left behind; overall though, a nice theatre to enjoy a movie as long as they can keep up the cleanliness.

Its a good theater. Like usual, you can hear other movies through the walls, but not that badly. Concessions are outrageous like they are everywhere. Popcorn is good, a little better than most actually, so 4/5 there. The bathrooms are a bit better than other places. The biggest downside is they are always busy. I much prefer going to the theater when its empty and dont have to sit beside people and fight for armrests and cupholders!

Review №19

Clean facility. Nice employees. Bathrooms are big and have always been clean. Screens are nice and the sound is usually fantastic. I say usually because there has been a few times I have visited and the sound was kinda low.

Nice, clean facility.. decently priced for tickets and concessions..do look at all the pics n prices for meal deals, I was in too big a hurry, couldve saved some money..lol parking was good, need better lighting in parking lot (safety reasons n such) ..alot of nice food options near theater..depending on your budget, dairy queen, buffalo wild wings and a nice steak house called The Mills.

I still love this theater, but when I was there to see the new Star Wars movie I got bit on my lower back by something. Not sure what it was because it was dark, but it was definitely something. Sadly this area has a lot of dirty people with bedbugs, so Im sure this is a constant struggle for a place like this.

The facility is nice, however the trains are loud and the outside location is sketchy. Prices are a tad high for the area, but its expected with an updated facility.

Review №26

I went watch the avegers:endgame. Was told by an employee that we needed to leave the theater there were people waiting for the next showing. I like to watch the ending credits. It is not my problem that you miss calculate a movie that you show at your theater that plainly states the running times in minutes.

Review №27

Entering was a bit confusing because there was a separate place to buy tickets but they were actually using the concession stand for it. Besides that, the sound was rather low for the actual movie. I had a difficult time hearing it at some points.

Great picture and sound. Popcorn is good and unlimited drink refills make the prices worth it.

Review №34

The projection was bright and crisp and the sound clear. However, the curtains covered the edges of the screen for Mary Poppins Returns. Only 2 trains passed during our screening so we were distracted only a little bit.

Review №36

Decent theatre for the price but they dont turn the lights all the way off and its right next to the train tracks. I dont think Ive watched a movie there without a train going by. Luckily, theyre not very loud.

The theater is fine. It’s usually clean and the employees are friendly. Sometimes the bathrooms and lobby can get really dirty and the theater itself was built right next to a train station so be prepared for loud train sounds throughout your film. It’s all there is for Portsmouth though, so it’s better than nothing.I want to add to my review that the bathroom is very difficult to navigate in a wheelchair. They have a trash can behind the door and it makes it so the door doesn’t open all the way. The family bathroom is always locks (probably too many people doing drugs in there). Anyway-when we told the cashier about the trash can making the bathroom hard to access she didn’t even respond...she acted like she didn’t even hear us. Then my husband asked her to acknowledge that she had heard his complaints and rather than apologize or just say thanks for letting us know she responded “I’m not the manager, I can’t do anything about it” she had bright blue hair.

Review №52

Tickets sold and we lost out there were no seats available. The manager was very rude saying I can go find you all seats . They just wont be together. We needed to open our eyes,and look. I asked 3 times for her to go see for herself. She never moved. There were like 20 of us who couldnt watch the movie. We didnt get refunded. My group had 6 of us. I lost out on 48.00 . Plus 30 bucks on drinks and popcorn. Very upset.

The movie was not the correct size for the screen and the audio was muffled. Awful cinema experience.

I think this place has bed bugs. Ive been a few times in the past few months in different rooms for different movies and I was itching the whole time and came out with bites on me and my fiance. Dont think Ill ever go back.

Portsmouth Cinemas rocks! Its my favorite theater. My little girl loves it too. She especially likes the little kids meal they have and the colorful booster chairs. The staff is always very friendly to us and they always have the movies we are looking for at convenient times.

Review №62

Pretty clean! Good price for movies during the day amd a little more in the evening. Only complaint is that people dont respect the fact your trying to watch a movie and they will talk continuously and you have to get up and miss part of the movie to get a staff member.

This place is the only theater in town, even so it is nice enough. Ive been here twice, good stadium seating. Decent prices on matinee.

Review №67

Everyone was told to leave at the end of the Avengers movie at the beginning of closing credits. “Other people waiting to see the next movie.” This is their scheduling problem. I paid to watch the whole movie. Credits and all. Stan Lee’s last movie and we were ushered out.

Review №69

Decent theater I guess. Although the sound is always very low for me. Definitely not surround, and at times Ive almost got up to tell management to turn the volume up! Hopefully theyll address this soon. As for the theater itself, its new looking and your typical theater.

Li
Review №70

Its okay considering there are not many theaters in my area but the seating here is terrible. After an hour your backside hurts enough that it starts to become hard to focus on the movie.

Review №76

The place is pretty nice for a theater I just dont understand how they dropped the ball on the one thing people go there for. Like the other reviews said, the projectors and speakers are pretty crappy for a theater and there really isnt surround sound. Not a bad deal to go on a Tuesday when movies are only $5

Se
Review №77

Good placece to go see a movie. Concessions are a bit lacking though. Seating is okay, but the lighting of the rooms is...odd. Unfortunately you can hear the nearby trains passing and rumbling from time to time during the movie.

Je
Review №78

Worst theater ever. They wanted to charge $6 a piece for two babies who were gonna sleep the whole time. When we complained the general manager was rude and the staff all laughed and mocked us. When my husband said something about them being unprofessional the gm told us we were being overly sensitive. Then her husband stood next to her in a threatening manner while she was belittling us. If we hadnt already bought tickets and popcorn we would have left. After the movie ended before the credits even started they flipped on the lights and screamed that there was no after credit scene and pretty much told us to get out. On the way out the gm and her husband stood outside and waited on us to come out and stood there like they were waiting to jump us. I will never go back there and Ill tell everyone I know to never go there again. Super unprofessional and rude.

Went to watch It, couldnt because people cant shut up. I dont care what your girlfriend thinks, I dont want her to say theres the clown. You think? Hmm, I didnt see it. Shut up.The clientele ruins the movie. I mean really, who lets toddlers into an R rated movie?

$5 for a movie every Tuesday. Very nice seats and screens. Every now and then you can hear a train go by on the tracks just behind the theater though.

Great place to catch a movie, just wish you couldnt hear the train when it goes by.

Review №83

We used to go there a lot, but then they decided to keep the lights turned up (they DO go down, but there was evidently a lawsuit against the chain because someones fell and blamed the theater for being dark. Does the word duh mean anything to you?) The seats arent comfortable, the sound sucks, and the only thing it has going for it is that its not an hour away. I was willing to tolerate all.of that, but having to watch movies with the lights on? Im better off watching something at home.
