Only paid $2 a ticket to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. A classic of course. Glad we had this option during this pandemic. Everyone was nice it was very clean and always a good time. Thanks for being open!

After covid reopening. This is the safest public place Ive been in since last winter. They only have 1/3 (?) Of the seats open. Definitely social distancing. NOTE they only take cads and gift certs, not cash. Movies are lots anyway, and with few people to soak up the sound, you might want earplugs. Oh, and tickets were less than $3, but I suspect that is just temporary.

My family and I love the seats and the $2.00 movies But they didnt have cheese for our pretzels or nachos :-(

What a great home town theater! Not to busy but has the good movies available. Self checkout for your tickets. The chairs are the absolute BEST part! They were even more comfortable than being at home. I just should have brought my blanket, then it would have been perfect. Bonus: they have a bar with wine and beer they just need to start serving dinner and the picture show would be a weekly stop for us.

Fun place to go. Busier than I thought, but not over crowded. Nice to have a good group for a movie. Different way to order food and movies with the touch screen, but I think more efficient. Go behind the stores in the strip mall at the top of the hill. This should make it easier to find.

We saw the Croods in an empty theater. Great experience, and comfortable reclining seats after a full Thanksgiving meal.

Love the recliner seating. Prices are decent and I kind of enjoy it more than the other theater option in our area.

We enjoy going to a smaller theater from time to time, so pop in to Picture Show here and there. Its mostly a positive experience. One of the drawbacks was the terrible state of the chairs, which we saw they recently fixed. So good on ya Picture Show! Weve also noticed some wear & tear on several of the screens, which has been going on for years. You mostly forget about it an hour into a movie, but then you get a scene with a lot of white and you start noticing the dark/cloudy spots on the screen. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit of a drawback.However, a major gripe is the assigned seating. There are rarely enough attendees to make it useful, and the fact that the ticketing system wont allow you to buy tickets if you leave a single empty seat near you is incredibly frustrating (especially if a row has say, 6 seats, one person gets the aisle and your group of 4 cant buy tickets because it will leave that last seat empty). I get the theory behind it, but in application all it does is annoy. Especially when you go in and everyone ends up sitting where they want anyway.If it werent for those issues, Id give 5 stars.

One of the nicest theatres Ive been to, especially for the price. The only problem I have is getting too comfortable in the Lazyboy type recliners and dosing off.

I love the reclining seats and retractable movie screen! Seems to have lower prices than the other theater in the area on most items. It also has a bar which I have not tried out. Im almost always at the movies with my child. Staff is always very friendly. And you can pick your seats online which saves time!

We were pleased with the service we got here.We bought tickets through Fandango. I wasnt happy that Fandango charged an almost $7 fee for the convenienceWhen I got there they were able to print our tickets when I handed them the card I changed them to. I asked if there was a way to purchase advice tickets without the convenience fee and I was told that I could purchase them on the picture show web site I havent tried that yet.The theater was clean and the movie was good. They have the reclining seating but when they are fully extended, there isnt enough room for someone to walk by so a lot of up and down.Overall this was good. $5 Tuesday (any movie) makes it a great deal and a cheap date.We recommend this place!

Huge parking lot, including several handicap parking spaces. The best attraction is the reclining theatre style seating. Usually a good variety of movies to select from. The day we went, there were only a few choices & only 2 that we had heard of in advance, none that we were interested in seeing. Normally, there are Academy Award winning movies playing, so we didnt check in advance. Disappointing, as we dont get out to see movies often.

Comfortable chairs. Good movie, good popcorn. The only thing that would make it better would be if the kids behind the counter would smile a little bit and be friendlier.

Great small town theater! Welcoming staff, helpful and always friendly. Smaller rooms and the best seats in town! It doesnt feel crowded even in a full room. Definitely a great place to go!

The Picture Show theater at Frontier Village on Highway 69, east of Prescott is a great place to see a movie. Buy your tickets and reserve your seats online, or use the terminal where the box office would be inside. Luxury recliner seating. The previews are played at Max volume, so be prepared if youre hearing sensitive.

We love the Picture Show theater. Love that its so comfortable and not crowded. Even if you are in your seat with your feet up, the people sitting beyond your seat can get in without you having to get up, or move at all. Wide isles! And we like the price too.

Lovely little theater at the top of the hill. You get your own tickets at the front counter with an automated system which I LOVED. Very easy to use and dont have to talk to a human. #YangGang. Comfy seats that recline and no human heads to look over because the seat rows are so far apart. Loved our experience here.

I cannot say it enough. Not only the BEST movie theater ever (with the leather reclining seats) but 70% cheaper than all the other movie theaters! Love Love Love this place! Has most certainly ruined ANY other movie theater experience for me and the whole family! Truly a Prescott GEM for those with kiddos or a date night with the wifey!

Comfortable seating with wheelchair and handicap access, fair pricing and discounts. Newer movies have plenty of show times to choose from and assigned seating. Buying tickets is a breeze with self serve kiosks and buying tickets early is easily done too. Best theater in the area. Would recommend for family night or date night.

My favorite theater in town. Seats are comfortable, and spaced perfectly so I can lean back not be in the lap or blocking the view of the person behind me. I like reserving my seats, I hated it at first, but now I love it. Ive made reservation mistakes and they have helped me every time in a professional and kind manor.

Review №29

Power recliners are super comfy, but you cant put the arm rest up to snuggle with your sweetheart. And on the subject of seats, Picture Show loses out on star five for having assigned seating. EVERY time I go, someone is in my assigned seat and they always make a big production that Im imposing on them to get out of MY seat. I wouldnt mind assigned seating if the population was smart enough to read their tickets but since we dont live in that world assigned seating is a headache. In fact Picture Show would be down to three stars, but hot dogs are just a buck so theyre ack up to four for me. The hot dogs are small, get two.

About a month ago, it was my husband and my first time to watch a movie at the Picture Show. This theater was10 recommended by a friend because of the reclining seats and options of food being delivered right to us. Im only 410 and most movie theater reclining seats swallow me up...but these recliners were delightful, good back support, and very comfy. Even though we ordered our popcorn and drinks at the counter and had no food delivered to us, we thoroughly enjoyed our first trip. Were looking forward to many, many more -- only downside is that we live in Cottonwood and must drive over-the-mountain so it takes us well over an hour just to see a movie. That being said, Im thinking well continue to drive the one hour plus over-the-mountain to get there!!

Love the lounge chairs !! Best price around on tickets and snacks... only reason i did not give it a 5 is because it feels a little dirty sometimes. Overall, i choose to drive from the Verde valley to go here instead of the Harkins in Sedona !

I absolutely love this movie theater! The seats are super comfortable, the staff is friendly, the theaters are clean and comfortable. The food is not bad, but would call it great for a movie theater, and you can buy alcohol too! This theater is a little over an hour away from where my wife and I live, but its still our first choice when we want to go to the movies.

Picture Show is an alright theater. I havent really had the best of customer service from this place. Concessionsists I have had seemed rather uninterested or bored when helping when it comes to snacks and drinks.Its kind of an unwelcoming feeling when employees seem uninterested when it comes to assisting customersI dont usually see ushers aside the fact this theater is very clean!Seats are very nice and enjoyable, prices are very reasonable for the majority.

Review №53

My wife and I stopped here on vacation and enjoyed the theater a lot. Some disclaimers: we did not get any concessions and we stopped in for a noon movie, which probably meant that the theater was not as busy as it typically is.We picked this movie theater because of a previous review indicating that they had comfortable reclining seats. When we arrived, we found that you purchase tickets and select seats at an electronic kiosk at the front, which was nice because that removed any concern about not getting the seats we would want. The prices were reasonable - $15 for two adults for a mid-day show.Inside the theater, we found that the seats were in fact very comfortable reclining seats. Some of the theaters seemed to offer either two person or double-wide seats, which might be nice for couples or for patrons looking for extra room.The quality of the projection was good and overall the theater seemed clean. We were just passing through town, but if we lived here we would definitely come back.

I when to see Star Wars on 12-22-19 the 315 pm showing and half way through to movie the backing to my chair fell off. At the end of the movie I when to the front desk and told them and handed the employee my ticket the employee thanked me for telling them and walked off with no apology or anything. On top of all of that the 3 beers I ordered were half foam. I asked what was up with that and was told the whole case was like that. Its kinda messed up that they would serve a product that wasnt working properly.

Review №57

Great place to watch a movie. The recliners are comfortable. Being able to have a beer while watching a movie was nice. The only complaint I have is the fact it can be confusing about how to buy tickets. Normally at other theatres, you buy a ticket then enter. Here you walk in and try to find where to get them. This can be difficult if the concessions are busy since the lines tend to meld together causing further confusion. But we will definitely go watch future movies there.

This place is aces! Big comfy recliners to sit in and great sound quality. You can butter your own popcorn and they offer a number of seasonings for every taste. You can also purchase your tickets in advance with assigned seating. It is an unique experience. They are located towards the back of a busy shopping mall, so they are a little tricky to find. It is worth it. They have a terrific concession stand, and the staff is very pleasant there. The remaining staff is hit and miss, but they dont detract from a good movie and snacks. Once you sink down in a roomy, cushy recliner, you wont care. There isnt a bad seat in the house, so you really cant go wrong. The experience will stay with you long after the movie is over!
