This place still has a way to go but improvements have been welcome. Perhaps it was just my seat, but the new seats sat extremely upright. New screens and sound were enjoyable and very much welcome. With continuing aesthetic changes and additions I can honestly say Ill be excited to go to this Theater again.

First time I have been back since they opened from remodel and I was disappointed. Nothing is different exceot the seats are leather now. I was expecting reclining seats like all the other theatres are going to. Im disabled and its much more comfortable.

Service was great. Seats make the price of the ticket not worth it at all. And a carry free zone so you cant protect your loved ones. Only people that dont care that it is a gun free zone get to have a gun. Sucks.

Lots of movies to choose from with wide variety of different styles. The full price drinks and popcorn are high so check out early movies and Tuesday discount day. Get there early to get a good seat, dont sit in front...way to close....PARTY ON WAYNE PARTY ON GARTH!!!!

Called ahead of time and asked what the prices are after taxes to make sure we could afford to go,and to our surprise we could! But after we got there we were given a totally different price. After we had found a way to go watch the movie,its showtime was set at 7:10 and our movie didnt ACTUALLY start until 7:45. And even after our movie started,they forgot to turn the lights off so our movie looked awful for about 15 minutes until someone decided to walk out and miss a portion of a movie he payed good money for to explain that someone forgot to turn the lights out and no one could see the movie for 15 minutes. They either need more people or they need to drop prices if theyre going to lie and ruin the first portion of a movie for tons of people.

The movie is fine but the prices are crazy high and we got held back from our movie because of their terrible service. Since we where late got terrible seats.

NEVER PREORDER TICKETS AT THE NEW VIP OAKS.They can not offer a REAL refund if you cant make your showing like AMC. Your only choice is to change your showtime. Not a good policy for a grand reopening, it makes them look too poor to function in confidence. UPDATE: James the Office Manager sends harrassing emails.

Review №15

Prices were wayyyyy too high for snacks and water. Movie was supposed to start at 6:45 and like most theatres you would think they would play previews of other movies and ads starting around 6:40ish. It’s 7:00 and nothing has come on the screen yet and the lights are still on. Not complaining just facts

Review №16

It would be one star but staff is always pleasant. Theatre rooms are very small. It would be torture to be more than 4 rows from the back. Very run down theatre with badly stained seats and holes in the drywall.

The one start I gave was for the move only!Our family went to watch Toy Story 4.The snack bar prices are outrages. It cost more for the popcorn and drink then it did for our tickets. If this was a top notch establishment I wouldnt complain. The filthy theater and awful mold smell, left my youngest with hives. My other daughter and I both had bug bites all over us and I had to take breathing meds just to finish the movie.The lights didnt even dim till I went and told them the movie had started and the lights were still on.I guess thats what you get for $75.+.Our family will not go back!It sucks for AMC because I have a big mouth and I will definitely spread the word.Horrible. Just plain Horrible.With every family spending that kind of money you would think it could get an upgraded. ...

One of the worst movie theaters I’ve ever been to. It is one of the dirtiest theaters and the tickets are still way more expensive than they should be. They also never answer the phone for any questions, so don’t even bother. I’ve been to so many movie theaters and this is probably the worst one I’ve ever been to.

This place gets 4stars only because of the people. The manager there is a great guy thats smiling face is always the first thing you love to see when you enter. Hes welcoming and personable and very charming. He gets to know each and every person at least a little bit so he can approach them when they arrive.As for the theatre itself, they need to remodel it; the whole 9 yards. Its been the same as long as I can remember and Im 28 years old. The walls are covered in filth from years of spills and those carpets are from Vietnam era. The seats in the rooms are so crowded and uncomfortable. The sound is manageable. Of course the pricing on tickets have gone down so thats nice. Unfortunately it still costs more to get a popcorn than it does to watch the film.

This location needs a serious rehab. I think this is the only location Ive been to all over America that is 100% outdated. Other than that, the customer service is great, and the bathrooms are clean!

Review №31

The theater has all of the new movies when they come out but it cant make up for the old seating, small theaters and out dated feel. The theaters dont let you pick out your seats which is a give or take for some people but overall it could use some renovations like the Melba.

Review №32

We went there 2 days in a row to see 3 different movies. They were out of hotdogs & was told that they were not allowed to even go buy some at the grocery store. They order stuff that doesnt get delivered or they run out & dont get replacements in a timely manner. The theater seats are woefully outdated. And they only had one register open doing tickets AND concessions for the most anticipated movie of the year: Endgame. They needed more people working. But all employees were extremely courteous & friendly.

Seats and theatre need a huge cleaning!! Smells of mold and if you get there when the lights are on, you won’t want to sit down when you see how disgusting the seats are! It’s a shame because the prices are decent and the staff is nice. We have began driving out of town to see a movie or wait for the Melba downtown to show it.

Desperately needs renovations and basic maintenance issues need to be solved. The sound quality is poor, the soda machines dont work half the time, the movies are dysfuntional most of the time, the seats are ripped up and disgusting, etc. I would not recommend this place unless you have no other options.

Review №56

Not the best theater Ive been too. Staff is ok depending on when you go. Consession prices are typical. Tickets are priced low to compete with the Melba which is by far a MUCH better facility, but they dont show first runs. My major complaint is the quality of the movie experiance itself. Sound is just so so. The screens arnt real big, and very very dim. Watching Captian Marvel last week and there where scenes that I could bearly see because it was so dark. There was also a bad screen glitch ever so often through out the movie. This AMC is in BAD need of an upgraded projection system!

My wallet slid out of my purse tonight while we were at the movies. I noticed it was missing within an hour, so I returned to the location. I went in, and the young men behind the counter were very nice about it. The next movie was playing, but since there were only 2 people in the movie, they allowed me to go in and look where I had sat. I didnt see it on the floor, and I didnt want to disturb the people watching the movie, so I left. However, one of the young men (Dawson), said if I didnt mind to leave my number, that he would go in after the movie finished and turn the lights on and look for me. Sure enough, that sweet little guy found my wallet, and gave me a call. Bless his heart!!! When I went to retrieve my wallet, I offered him all the cash that was in it. He refuse. I insisted! He then said he could not accept it, but that it really was ok. Such a sweet young man. I asked if I could run him some dinner back to him. Again, he refused, and said he was just glad I got everything back. This young man needs to be commended for having such good values in this crazy day in which we live. I did explain to him that if anyone else had found it, most likely that cash would have been taken, and I wouldnt have it anyway. I simply could not talk him into accepting a monetary gratitude. If you know this young man, please take a minute to either hug him for me, or at least tell him what a good example he is! (I dont know him, and didnt ask for his last name.) I had already canceled all my credit cards, but the paperwork and business cards in there is what mattered the most. What a relief to have my wallet back! THANK YOU, Dawson!!!

AMC is the only first run in Batesville. There is also the historic Melba theater downtown that shows movies that have been out for 4 weeks or so. But AMC needs a few repairs and updates. However, customer service is good. Tickets are $11 or so.

Review №62

This theater is a mess. Horribly uncomfortable chairs, sticky floors, smelly rooms. Only a handful of screens and only a few showtimes per day. The place looks like it was last updated in 1988. Everything is so cheap.This great city deserves better.

Well, I went with my Uncle, Aunt, and my cousins to see The TMMT movie that was released in 2016. The Tickets was average price and popcorn and stuff was good. Good staff. hat is why I gave them 2 stars. But, if they can clean up decent for once the Cinema it would be 100% better (but it is old as well).

This theater is very old and run down. We are new to this area and last night watching Avengers End Game was the 1st and the last we will go to see there. Everything from the seats being nasty to the bathrooms being gross and totally needing updating we wont be back!! No wonder everyone around here is always going to Searcy or Little Rock to see movies..

Thia place needs major updating n repair..horrible for an AMC theater..needs to upgrade to a luxury or least better seats n concessions..never any hotdogs or water..this place needs to get a serious overhaul and the employees seem miserable..and the smell of mold n mildew n bugs are disgusting...AMC surely has the money to make this a nice updated luxery theater

5/26/19 -9:35PM- In theater #2 to see Avengers Endgame; and it literally smells like a stockyard/sale-barn... it’s awful...and you can see the sides of the screen (spring that hold the screen tight)...One of the speakers behind the screen is blown, and sound is cracking...

Review №81

Tickets are over priced for what you get. Extremely disappointed with the state of this theater.This theater looks almost exactly the same as before AMC bought it. I havent seen a single improvement to the showrooms, and my group was shocked that AMC is okay with the condition of these rooms. Same ancient, tiny, gross, and uncomfortable seats, rows are still too close together, the floor is nasty, and its pretty cold.

Review №82

Travelling on business to many small towns, expectations were not too high. However, piling onto the general lack of maintenance, cleanileness, odors, and more modern amenities/technology, hearing the movie playing in the adjacent auditorium made me get up and ask for a refund.Will stay bored in the hotel room.Unfortunately for the locals the lack of competition provides very little incentive to invest, which is surprising given that Batesville seems to be a tourist funded town.There was a good amount of people as well, adding to the desincentive to upgrade.Pricing was the same as a high end theater in Little Rock.

Review №86

I only recommend this theater as a place to commit suicide. Its clean and the service is good, but its just not a great place to watch movies. There seemed to be an issue with the lights because they were using the maintenance lights instead of the dimming ones and you can just see gross stains from decades of asses very clearly on the seats. The sound from the next auditorium was coming in through the walls of mine. I poked my head in next door and the movie wasnt all that loud so I guess the walls arent soundproofed? And theres wallpaper tearing off all over the place. The soda machines were pretty neat and The service was what you would expect, everyone was polite and helpful, but the building itself was a real downer.

Very basic movie theater! Went to see wonder woman it was great but the quality of the theater is lacking. Our showing time was 6pm and the beginning trailers did not start playing until almost 6:30pm! I can see why this place gets such bad reviews! Also the Auditorium we were in was filthy did not look like it had been cleaned from the showing before ours. The only upside to it was the freestyle drink free refills. I would not return to this place but I was just traveling on business.
