Super crowded. Their system went down on opening night. It was really hot inside the theatre. But, this is what you get for $5 a movie.

Great budget theater where all tickets are $5 no matter what. Its great to come watch new movies here because a date will run you half price. There is a good mini arcade and bounce area for kids that come with you and the family. The seats are a little old so they arent very comfortable but they do recline.

Ive been good with this theater in the past. However, it has gone down in quality, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Some seats are broken and several of the monitors outside of each theater are not functioning. We went to a showing and 30 minutes after the original showtime we were told that the projector was not working and we would need to get a refund, pass for another show or wait for the next showing on a different screen. It took is 4 hours to see a 90 minute movie. Not a fault of the theater, but the neighborhood is a little sketchy and some of the clientele follow.

Not a bad place, but not impressive either. Went there for the $5 ticket. Visited solo in the middle of the day. I bought one movie ticket, and a snack combo for one large popcorn, one large drink, and a pack of candy. Everything altogether came up to over $25. Not complaining, but I can visit certain other theatres midday and for the same $25 I get a lot more comfort and better food. With that said, theres no reason I wouldnt visit again if they upped their game some.

The theater is clean and I like the little tables set up on the rows. The staff is friendly and the price of a ticket is really great. The alcohol control is great too. No one getting too drunk or out of control. My girls and I seen Frozen 2 and it was a great time.

Great place to take kids! Prices for food and beverages are extremely high and not worth it!! You have parents who drop off kids and leave them unattended for hours, some are watching an movie while their kids are at the jump park running wild! Police always present to control other people kids!

I usually go there every week to enjoy a movie an a pretzel an a drink, and sit back an relax, but that little girl back me a got pretzel with hot cheese in a pretzel paper and it burnt my hand and fell to the floor an that girl started laughing, any other time I would have snatched her up and tear into her. Luckily the genral manager Erica came out an apologized an has set me up for when I come back. She was super professional and very kind. They need more people like Erica in the job industry.

Great place for the whole Family. All seats $5 is an unbeatable Deal! The jump park and game room are always a hit with my Grandchildren. Friendly Staff and pleasant atmosphere make for an enjoyable visit each time. Looking forward to my next visit already!

Went to the trampoline park, which is inside the movie theater. It’s not bad for the price (I had a Groupon), and it’s nearby. They could update some things in the future to keep up with other competitors though

Actually went for Steel City Play Place located inside the theater. A nice place to play on the trampolines with my kids and some others.

I love The edge theater we had an awesome time we recently saw the movie Mama and we also saw the movie crawl. The only thing I dont like about it is there concession stand prices are extremely high. But we were able to see the movies for $5

Review №20

I usually like going to The Edge but had a horrible viewing experience going to see The Lion King. A parent (?) basically allowed their children (more than 1) to play on their cell phone, talk continuously and at full voice, and crawl/ play on the railing across the theater (I was using the rail to prop after recent leg surgery).It was some of the worst and most inconsiderate behavior Ive ever witnessed at the movies. Staff/someone needs to be available to help correct this type of behavior so as not to ruin the movie experience for everyone else in the theater.

We drive 40 minutes just to get out and do something fun! This place is a steal... $5 tickets,game room and I feel safe. I noticed that a few ppl complain about teens causing trouble, that has never been a problem for us. Police department is there on weekends, just in case,and if you have any issues, just go another day or time. The ppl are nice too! Im sure it could be cleaned up better but its not an issue. Id say definitely go! The kids will have fun and be safe.

I walked 13.5 miles to get here after being stuck in a motel for a week and I was so happy to be able to get a beer and sit in a comfy chair. Added bonus, the movie was only $5 ! Thank you!

Review №26

Too many children!! No supervision. Theatre did require adult be with anyone under 18 to see R rated movie. Police presence was there but it so many pockets of teens posted everywhere that feeling safe was obsolete. Police officer did come around prior to movie starting asking to see tickets but he should have been at the door checking BEFORE allowing people in. Probably will not come back to this theater unless its to the last show.

The theater is clean and they have a small arcade where you can pass the time away whilst you are waiting for your movie to start. The $5 for all movies at all showings is a sweet bargain. You should know the cost for refreshments are a little over the top!

Review №37

In what is perceived as a bit of a rough area. However, never had any issues there and the seats in the Theatre are quite comfortable. The movie screens are good and audio is nice. I do wish this was a location with a bar, that always makes the movie more enjoyable for me. I would recommend this to people, because its easy to get to, low traffic area and never very crowded.

It would have been better if they had completely reclining seats. But I was very impressed with the theater. You cant beat new release movies for $5

Review №43

This is my go-to theater as I really enjoy the seats with tables, and the arcade. The restroom is always clean. There is a jump park inside the theater for all ages. They serve a very limited selection of beer. The only negative I have experienced is that some of the games in the arcade are turned off.

My daughter had just accepted a job with the Montana House of Representatives. Yeah I must say that I enjoyed myself very much with my daughter and my wife since shes from Montana and was visiting for 11 days. I noticed that the crowd was a mixed culture there were Caucasian there also black Americans veterans police real police. I felt safe and secure but the price is a bit stiff but I guess you get what you pay for. I will definitely recommend that you bring your family here and it is a safe atmosphere. I really enjoyed myself. The customer service was friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. There was also tables with some of the seats In order for couples to have a seat and eat while they watch the movie. I dont know many other movie theaters that have this type of setup. I highly recommend that you bring your family to this theater and that you will be safe and secure and the crowd was very mature. My daughter is interracial and the crowd was a mixture of black Americans caucasians and Hispanics. There were also veterans that were there as well and very nice police staff once again real police staff. From Birmingham

Review №46

The food was good and the movie started on time. My main reason for this review is that my girlfriend and I were talking in the parking lot after the movie. We then heard a loud bang. The security and police did not come to check it out. So, my girlfriend and I left. We were unsure if it was safe to stay.

Review №49

Movie did not start on time. Had to go get someone to start movie, I guess the employee responsible was asleep or quit. Movie times were listed wrong at Google. Manager blamed Google, I am sure Google gets show times from management. Also there was water on the tile floor all over the womens bathroom and a lady sloped and fell. Her husband had to go in and help her. Seemed to be poorly managed this day.

Clean location. The staff were helpful. The concessions are decent and the accessibility of tables in each theater is nice. The chairs can be hit or miss, but mostly they are good.A few people were very disruptive in the movie I was in, but the staff responded quickly and resolved the issue.

Nice and clean. Sometimes they dont offer some of thw movies that are out. You just have to check showings to save you from that disappointed. Other than that, its amazing. Plus, they offer summer viewing for kids.

Great place to see a new movie. They have cheap MOVIE prices, a great selection of movies, and is located a few hundred feet from a police station.

Review №55

This movie theatre is one step above ratchet, I couldnt enjoy the movie due to uncontrollable teenagers who lack decorum and home training. The police had to escort two (2) whole rows out due to all of the loud talking that was being displayed. I gave it 2 stars due to being able to vent my frustrations with an employee there that highly agreed with me. It is so sad that you have to go to Hoover & 280 to just be able to see, hear and really enjoy a movie these days. SMH

The people here are ALWAYS so nice! They have recently been bought by a new company, so some things will probably change, but I hope they keep the people they have now. They are always friendly & helpful.The facilities are nice as well. The chairs are comfortable, the digital projectors work perfectly, the sound clarity & volume are always just right. They even have tables setup between some chairs throughout the theater for your drinks. Also, their ticket pricing seems to be lower than most other theaters in the county.Some people are hesitant to go to this theater because the shopping mall it is in has a checkered past. But know this. Once they put a Police Station in directly across from the Theater years ago, crime literally vanished here. Now the entire area is safe, clean and family friendly, at any time of day or night.I highly recommend this theater. It is one of my favorites.

We just came to see Into the Spiderverse and had to leave an hour in because my five year old got overwhelmed by the fight scenes. We explained the situation to see if we could switch movies and the staff was super understanding and gave us passes. I really appreciate it, I would definitely recommend them and I plan to start coming here for all my movie viewing.

Review №63

I love the fact the movies here are only $5...you also get what you pay for...seating in the theater is not great. Some of the chairs Ive sat in while coming here have been broken. Also you can hear the other movies playing so soundproofing here could be way better!

To just be away from home and enjoying the change of scenery is a rewarding experience.The Theater is a nice clean and relaxing place. It does not really matter what is on the big screen.Although what is showing is the main reason for going.

Cant beat 5 dollar movies and they sell beer and wine. The audience can be a little ratchet and talk through the movie or someone will bring thier baby which cheapens the movie. the staff cant be blamed for that but it is what it is

Didnt know this was baby sitting hours.Im a black 53 year old mother grandmother this summer and never seen nor experiencedanything like this Bunch of unsupervised DISRESPECTFUL UNDISCIPLINED LOUD RUDE CURSING OUT POLICE WOULDNT SHUT UP BLACK teenage CHILDREN THAT had to be forced out by the police during the movie (A WHOLE 4 ROWS OF THEM). Couldnt enjoy the movie because the police had to several times walking up and down the isle threatening them and some grown ones too to shut up or else be thrown out before they finally got kicked out and the ENTIRE THEATER BROKE OUT WITH LOUD CLAPPING in appreciation missing an entire sceneI will need to see the movie MA again in peace but just not at the Edge after 5pm or before 9pm EVER AGAIN LOVED the popcorn and slush with free cotton candy or cookie dough others were complaining about the slush not being cold or slushy enough which Management was going to sale anymore of but we asked and reassured them we just fine with the way it was which was AWESOME and just right!The staff was super respectful with great customer service and very clean throughout, but those children Father help them and whose NOT raising them in JESUS NAME AMEN

We went here MARCH 2,2019 to watch aTyler Perry movie! We enjoy paying 5 buck for the movie it was a good deal BUT! We couldnt enjoy the movie at this theater because of the noise and disruptive behavior among grown kids! There was no PEACE, This place seemed like a place where parents dropped their grown children off to the sitter I was very disappointed ! I wont be back to this one!

Review №84

At first I wanted to rant about this place but to be honest its a movie theater where all the shows are $5. Considering that, the place is clean and the picture and sound quality is decent. Theres supposed to be a trampoline park here as well but I am not sure where it is nor do I know about it as I didnt see it. The place is a hotspot for teenagers so if you want to movie going experience with not so much talking he may need to make your way to Hoover. As to be expected the food was expensive I spent $22 in all. The ticket was ten for both my wife and I, small popcorn and bottled water was $12. Overall I cant give this place a bad rating. My son had fun my wife and I had fun, maybe not totally deserving of four stars but I feel that for what it is, its the best Ive ever seen.
