Great senior price, comfortable seats. Nice location, near the food court. Great if you want to eat, before you watch your movie.

Good ticket prices, clean theaters, good staff, and seats that are soft and become recliners at the press of a button.The only downsides are confection prices and higher ticket prices past a certain time of day. [I think, around 6pm, prices go up to a little above $9]Highly recommended, regardless.

I was extremely disappointed when this went from a 2 and 3 dollar movie theater the one that has tickets from $6 to $10. I liked being able to go get my soda and popcorn and candy and sit and watch a movie in the afternoon on a lazy day and not have to spend an arm and a leg to see it. I guess those days are over, and I have to get into the real world.Not that long ago the Picture Show at main Place Mall did some renovation. They now have amazing electrical chairs and breathtaking sound. The prices there tickets have gone up, but you can still get there $1 hot dog!I started returning to this theater when I went to some of the surrounding theaters and found that I was paying anywhere between $12 and $18 for a regular ticket to see a movie. Even matinee prices werent much cheaper than that. As a senior (60 and older) I can see a matinee or an evening show for $6.50. I think thats an extreme bargain. Add my hot dog, small drink, and my chocolate covered raisins, and Ive spent around $14. Huge difference to the $35 I was spending before.If youre looking to see the latest movies out, Main Place Mall Picture show is the place to go. We no longer have to wait for a couple weeks to a month and a half to see the new shows, theyre there when theyre at the other theaters in your area only its a lot cheaper to go.because theyre cheaper, and new movies, I suggest you purchase tickets beforehand. Obviously not every show is going to sell out, but if its a really good one, I wouldnt take the chance.If you enjoyed my review please LIKE below. As always thank you for your time and your interest. Have an absolutely amazing life!

Amazing first time experience. Seats are recliners!!! I hate going to the movies but now I actually want to start watching movies in THIS movie theater. I love the fact that you get to choose your seats while you are buying your popcorn so that way you know exactly where youre sitting and you dont have to be looking for seats or have to sit separately from your friends are family if you go in a big group.places mall but I really enjoyed watching a movie on a recliner and not having to worry about moving my feet or being bothered by someone going to the restroom and walking on top of me. This place is amazing theyre short-staffed but overall I had a great time and ENJOYED THE MOVIE.

Good prices and good seating for a movie theater! Be warned, some of the reclining seats don’t work and it can be a bit messy here. But I’ve always enjoy coming to Mainplace since I was a kid ️

My go-to spot for movies! This movie theatre has completely changed in the past 2 years, so whst you need you know is:- All Theatres have reclining seats,- matinee movies are $6, regular prices are $9.- they used to only show older movies, now they show the newest movies.- if you are going to a popular movie on a weekend, dont plan on buying your ticket 5 minutes before the movie. Since each seat is assigned and chairs are bigger recliners, they do sell out of movies on weekends. Maybe that will change since summer is over and kids are in school, but that has been my experience.

We used to frequent this theater almost every weekend. We would watch 2 movies some times. Then the replaced the old seats with new ones that recline. And WOW! What an awesome way to watch a movie, the seats are larger and so comfortable! But they raised the price. They now have the same price as all other theater. So, not much more reason to visit this theater. But if you live close, this is still a nice place to watch a movie.

This theatre has good pricing and seats, but it comes with a lot of sacrifices. Many of the reclining seats dont actually work. Every time Ive gone, the people coming into the movies 30-45 minutes late, flashing their phone flashlights all over, people constantly talking throughout the movie. There was even a time that nobody was working the check so anyone could just walk into any theatre. Screens are small in comparison to other places.

Stay away... watch at home. CENTURY is even cheaper and much better. Its Upgraded but still ran by kids, little to no work ethic and even less capability. I did not see anyone working over the age of 19. Esp not in the manner in which they acted.

Atmosphere is typical of a smaller theater. Sears are comfy, sound at times can be lower than it should be. Popcorn is just okay. All drinks are refillable and they have 7-11 style hot dogs for 1$. Since its small the bathroom is near although it is often not very clean (mens room)

Great movie ticket prices. I went to go see Adventures Endgame personnel were very nice you are able to print your ticket s at computer that they have at entrance with out having to wait in line for a long time SUPER CONVENIENT just input your ticket code or phone number. Helps alot.

I enjoy the lower price and reclining seats, but I rarely visit movies anymore because so many people still use their gd phones during the movies. Spoils the experience. Plus Ive noticed at this theater that lots of families let their kids run wild. So...you get what you pay for maybe.

Review №46

The theater was clean, and the power recliner seats were suitably wide and comfortable. The ability to choose your seats helps avoid any seating rush.The screens are on the small side. If you are used to large screens, I recommend choosing an assigned seat closer to the front.The pre-movie ads were on audio-only, which could be a positive or negative, depending on your preference.

Review №47

Previously, we were excited at the great value of this theater. Now it seems the low ticket price is affecting theater cleanliness and presentation.The Noovie presentation is always misaligned and several theaters have loudly buzzing speaker systems. A real shame.On the plus side, seats are comfy with push button reclining. Restrooms are surprisingly cleaner than I expect for a budget theater (tho they only have air blowers). The staff seems pleasant enough tho inadequate to service such a large location.All issues (except the distractingly loud buzzing) can be forgiven. I guess well be going back to Regal theaters from now on...

Review №48

Love the reclining chairs and low matinee prices. Buuut... The theater stinks. It is like a musty, mildew smell. The carpets need to b cleaned and vent filters changed. They also need some one to wipe out drink holders. Mine was all wet and sticky, and we went to the first show of the day.

Review №49

Worst theater of all time! There is no signage in the mall that is in to indicate where its at. We were there for the very first time wanting to see Dumbo. after wandering around for 25 minutes trying to find the place. We were there just before the show was to start. They dont have a box office all they have are kiosk. Even though the system would allow me to select seating. It would go no further than that. Finally after finding someone who works there. And that took some effort. They informed me that the theater was full. So Im guessing the theater is no bigger than my living room.

Review №53

Hate to rate so low, so if they fix things let me know I’ll take it down.The people were awful. Ghetto kids running around, people answering phones during the movie or groping each other in the recliners.The movie quality was worse. There were handprints all over the bottom of the screen and a big black spot on the middle left- basically anything bright colored was smudgy and distracting. The screen concave was also visibly not smooth, and there was a blown speaker in the front left. Sync was also a little off, and I was sitting in the middle of the theater.The employees were great and the manager tried- she was nice and immediately offered compensation but I was visiting with family and the experience was already over. I liked that the prices were so low, but was there due to convenient location and would have gladly paid more for a better crowd and higher quality presentation. So PLEASE 1. Police the people; kick out the disrespectful trash 2. Clean the screen It’s disgusting, and 3. Fix the audio.

Review №63

I usually enjoy this theater but I had only gone during the week for matinee. The past 2x I went, it was weekend evenings and I felt stupid for even buying tickets as there are far too many folks in the hallways and theaters and NO ONE checking tickets. Go ahead and just go watch movies for free instead of pre-buying they and choosing your seats online as I did. No one is checking tickets and it’s every person for themselves to police who is in your seat. I had to kick some people out of my seats which was awkward because they were making excuses to me (I don’t care!). It’s really crowded and without any order. The seats are the best part of this place because they recline and there is a lot of leg room. Other than that, save yourself the service fees and just walk in and watch whatever movie you want. Once you’re in, just go watch another movie because I kid you not: no one cares!

I went with a bunch of friends, and we had a great time. Picture Show is located in the middle of a fun Mall and the seats were comfy. Oh yeah, and $1 hot dogs. Can you imagine that in the twenty-first century? Hot dogs, that are only $1? Yay, verily. Right there at the movies. Walk up an order two. That will only be $2. $2, and now you have two hot dogs and youre about to go in and see a movie. Is this a wonderful world or what?

Its OK, you get what you pay for... Seats are great, prices are amazing, screen and sound us pretty cool. But man, its dirty... And its one of those places where theres no organization. A mosh pit at a punk concert is better organized. But... Its cheap and I like punk rock so I approve.

I would have given them 5 STARS if i would have found at least one movie of my like. But, they were showing 4 movies, same type, only : HERO, FANTASY, n GALAXY ACTION.NO ROMANCE, NO DRAMA, NO REALITY type of movies. NOTHING for me and my friend, reason why she left earlier...perhaps another time...However, their prices are low. Actually, lower than most. That is very refreshing, tho...:-)

Prices in the website said $6.25 before 6pm kids and adults but when when buy them there the price is .50 c more. I know is not much difference but they should update the web or put the price in site the same as their webpage. Beside that I love the new recline seats and that now you can choose your seat .

Theaters are huge!!! The only downside is because its in a shopping mall, theres no room to have slanted rowed seating, so when you sit in your chair, a bit of the movie screen is covered from the chairs ahead of you. But you cant beat the price!

The cashier was nice, great smile and all. But damn, no organization. No seats available, so I sat in the back. Was told I couldn’t sit at the back, and I could get a refund or go to another movie. Other movie was even more full. Kind of ridiculous, I would have been cool sitting at the back. But nice service.

Update: dont go here if youre handicapped, elevator is a nightmare, the escalator down is always off and you cant purchase regular handicapped seats from the kiosk. One of the staff helped us get tickets, came in and checked on us but unfortunately had not marked the other seat as sold. 4 non-handicapped women came in scoped the seating situation (wed been sitting already for about 25 mins) got the manager to sell them our seats and then escorted them in to kick us out of the seats wed already secured.When we explained how wed come by the seats, she said she will have a discussion with her staff and we still needed to move. All this going on while the movie was starting. Eventually one of the women agreed to sit in the last handicapped seat away from her friends Other theaters will not sell the seats at all regardless of capacity to non handicappedNever coming come back here

They have Rats. Yes, you read that correctly. Rats. We saw some eating popcorn on the floor. We told one of the workers who clean the theater, and she said they already know and have had the problem for awhile now. That they have traps set out for them....Ew. Makes me not trust their food, and definitely makes me feel grossed out knowing that theyre crawling by my feet while watching a movie....I only give 2 stars because they have upgraded to recliners. But other than that. Ew. And no. Just no.

The waiting line is a disaster like if the employees just woke up and are now selling the tickets. The theater cleaners last half an hour while other theaters last 5 minutes. And do not get me started with the drinking fountain. They expect us the pay full price for the drinks when the only flavors available are diet drinks and lemonade... seriously? The only good thing about this place are the seats.11-11-2018
