This theater is my go-to for blockbuster movies like the "Iron Man" series, "Avengers," anything PIXAR, "Star Trek(s)" and other films that would otherwise be half as much fun on a regular screen. IMAX is $15 for the non-Senior-set but its worth every penny to me for that spectacular experience. As is expected with ANY theater, their concession prices are laughable. A couple on a date, going to see a regularly-priced film, can expect to spend close to $30 if they get popcorn, candy and a drink. I dont know how the teenagers, who mob the place on Friday and Saturday nights, get that much money from their parents! The theater itself is in need of a makeover. It smells stale and the carpets are worn. The seats have high backs and drop down armrests w/ drinkholders. Except for the big films on IMAX, seldom is a theater too full to find a decent seat. When we went to see "Iron Man 3" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness" we had to PICK OUR SEATS, like we would for a plane trip. They projected a sell-out and they were wrong, but for IMAX, try to arrive early, just in case. Looking ahead, Im sure "Man of Steel," "Wolverine," "Monsters U" and other 2013 blockbusters will have high attendance.

This has everything we expect from a movie theater and more. The screen is huge, with us sitting in seats in a steep cliff, such that the movie screen fills our face. Sometimes they show 2-D and 3-D movies, such that you feel that you are inside the experience of what the movie is showing. Local web sites show schedule of what is showing, the prices are reasonable, the toilets clean, decent selection of refreshments for sale, ample parking. There are times of day, when making a left turn into or out of the place is impractical due to traffic, so best way to get there is to head to Green River and Morgan, then head west, turning right into the theater. When traffic is heavy at departure time, if going west, go out the way I just said. If going any other direction, use the back route out Theater Drive to Green River and turn South. If want to go North, you can loop around at the shopping mall. #AMacReviews #Entertainment

Have been going to this theater for years. Hardly ever any problems, and management has never given any grief. Only real problem was once, when two fools thought they could sit in the top row and smoke cigarettes in the movie. Management booted them promptly and that was that. And sure, concession prices are a bit much, but thats how they make their profits, and it isnt like this is news to anyone anymore. Complaining about this in this day and age is a bit stupid unless youve NEVER been to a movie before. The Royal Suite is easily the best experience there, considering you can recline back and have a beer with your movie, not to mention that the food prices might sound high-- until you consider what youd spend someone for lunch prior to the movie under normal circumstances. There, you get it all at once and dont have to worry about running behind and being late for the show.

The royal suites is a place where customers are treated royally rude. We got seating and the sound was way too loud. Like painful to your ears loud. We ask for a manger how eventually comes and says that is just the way Dolby atmos is its suppose to basically cause hearing damage. She offered to turn it down a notch by she said it was really our problem. She was rude and unprofessional. A few minutes later over the loud sound we could hear her yelling up in the projection room about us during the movie, also very unprofessional. It was a horrible experience and I would advise everyone to go to the west side theater. As for the rude manager mckayla or Kayla. She needs to look for a job where she doesnt interact with people.

Royal Suite: Food was better than expected, didnt get everything I ordered.I ordered cheese planks with burger, I Was told planks were coming after waiting an hour for burger, she came out about 45 minutes later, said she forgot to put order in for planks, 5$ for glass of coke, not sure if there is refills. Recliners werent bad, but kick out is uncomfortable on back of legs. I work in a recliner factory, I think they could be more comfortable in that area, my opinion. We did enjoy our movie, and thought the 12$ was reasonable. On ordering food, order as soon as you can because ordering during movie takes away from movie and miss scenes. I would go back for sure.

I have been coming here since I was 10...Im 30. That being said, I have seen 97 movies at this theatre and only once or twice have there been projector issues. The concessions are very expensive, yet they are less than the bigger theatres especially. The sound quality is amazing. They use a full 7.1 surround along with some amazing subwoofers (which are only used in certain movies). They have upgraded ALL of their theatres with a very high-definition projector. Im very proud of this theatre from the customer/consumer standpoint. **Their rewards program is great too!

We were very pleased with our experience. The recliners were comfy and the food was wonderful! I was expecting stadium type food but was definitely a step up!!! I got the pizza and my husband got the chicken fingers. We LOVED our food and recommend it to anyone. Yes we had to wait a while for our food because all 3 theaters had a full house. The servers were very polite! We didnt mind though because we were in no hurry and enjoying the experience. Will definitely recommend the royal suites to everyone! Cant wait to go again. (We saw Wonderwoman-AWESOME)

was at the theater Sunday afternoon waiting for a couple of my friends to arrive....they were not very busy at all. as I am waiting I witness two adults walk in the door, she walks up to pay for ticket while he contuinues to walk up the steps with a grocery bag with three cokes, candy bars and even a bag of popcorn in that sack, it was very plain to see through the bag, NOBODY says a word to him or her????????? my question is......are we aloud to do this, if so, I am going to do the same thing, sure will save me a lot of money

Dinner and a movie? Kill two birds with one stone and do it here. Awesome seats, tasty food, and likely cheaper than splitting up the combo like to usually do. I really like the posters that inform you that the owner lives in the USA and the owners of most other area theatres live in China. You mildly racist totally xenophobic Hoosiers should really enjoy that! It is bar food, and you may have to give the recipe for "neat" spirits: glass, spirits, air. Oh yea, theres booze!

Been at the Royal Suites a few occasions and had a great time, but went on December 27, 2016 and was expecting a dinner and movie with our family, however, not all films are featured in the Royal Suites (an all African American cast). When we said that the website stated the movie was at the Royal Suites a man rudely said that the movie would never appear at the Royal Suites. (That statement came after he even checked for himself). This was not a good experience that night.
