No burgers(yet) but reclining seats and wine if thats your fancy! Nice size theater rooms as well.

Great movie experience. Malco has remodeled this theater so it had the new large comfortable seats. You can order tickets on line in advance so you can have the seats you want.

I come here every time I want to attend a movie. The staff is very helpful. Its not set up like other movie theaters with the fancy recliner chairs and drinks. But, it is peaceful, just the way I like it.

I like the kiosk where you can buy your tickets with a credit card pass up the line thats waiting for a person to wait on them. The movie started on time and it was a comfortable temperature in there not freezing like a lot of movie theaters. The chairs were somewhat comfortable we enjoyed our time.

Always clean, well-staffed, with plenty of well-lit parking. The seats are comfy, and the projectors and sound systems are first-rate.

Great food, more to choose than your average movie theater. Prices the same as any other theater. Awesome sound and great seat....

Always a great experience. Being able to reserve your tickets in advance, walking in the front door (bypassing the line) and bellying-up to the ticket kiosk is a godsend. Staff is always friendly. Clean facility, cold drinks, hot food, sweet candy.. what else do you need before a great moviegoing experience?

Had a wonderful time. The lobby and the restroom (s) were very clean. The food was good and fresh and the Movie, Angry Birds 2 was really funny. The service was good.

The theater itself is ok, sounds was good but all was a little dated. However, the price of items at the concession stand were outrageous. A small popcorn was $6 and a 17 oz. bottle of water was $4. I attend movies once a week in Oklahoma in a brand new facility with reclining seats that charges the same for admission and a large refillable popcorn is $7 and a bottle of water $2. These kind of prices either keep people out until they can rent it or cause them to sneak in food.

The people working there were fantastic, but we went to see Dark Waters, a relatively quiet movie. Our screen must have been between two screens showing Star Wars, because we heard all the bass. I get that its repetitive hearing people complain about the cost of going to see a movie, but Ive got to add my voice to the frustration here; I spent nearly $40 for 2 tickets and snacks, and to have the experience ruined by the sound from other movies is annoying.

Great movie theater for our area. Not too big. 8 screens. Comfortable seating.

This was our first visit to the First Hill Cinema. It was a great experience. The movie itself was great, but we really appreciated being able to pick our seats on the Malco app, the seats themselves were extremely comfortable, the popcorn was fresh (which is no small thing at most theaters), and the staff there was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely return because we had such a good experience. This may be our new go-to theater.

Had a nice time watching a movie with my wife. Early Sat afternoon, before the crowds. Theatre was clean and those reclining chairs are comfy.

Yikes - don’t go by on. Wednesday at 8:15 PM to buy gift certificate - movies still going strong and door open but they close down the cash register to sell gift cards :(

I really enjoyed this theater! The sodas (lemonade and Sprite) are nasty but the seats in the theater are comfortable and spacious.

Remodeled to perfection. Not even the Paradiso can compare. I *highly* recommend this theater. The seats alone are worth it.

Review №22

My first time in this theater in many many years. They must have undergone a huge renovation. Everything in the theater seems so modern and fresh. The size and comfort of the seats in the theater was amazing! They even had where you could order food from the grill and have it delivered to your seat in the movie. Seeding was selected when you purchase your tickets making it easy to select an area you enjoy sitting in the movie theater. I believe they also serve wine. The sound and the theater was wonderful, it was very clean, and I enjoyed my movie there greatly.

Great seats . Amazing Dolby sound

Review №24

You have to tolerate Malco because they have a monopoly in Memphis. Doing assigned seating makes people feel important and creates another $1.50 revenue stream for each booked ticket. Their only IMAX theater has the worst seating known to man.Malco might play like they appreciate your business until you visit the Majestic.Someday AMC will build theaters here.

Enjoy this clean and organized movie house. They now work on reserved seating so when you purchase your ticket you also choose your seat so if you are in line for popcorn or snacks you dont have to worry about getting the leftover movie seats. Of course if you are meeting friends you may want to get there early so you can sit together or designate someone to buy the tickets.

We are adapting to is the seating reservation. Some owners should leave perfectly good places alone

Review №35

Great theater, atmosphere, and seats.One complaint: the young lady in the theater asked “can I see your tickets” while we were in theater abt to sit down. She asked to “help” us find our seats although we can read and see perfectly fine, and we were already on the row where our seats were located. We go to this theater (and other malco theaters) often and this has never happened before. Customer service is extremely important and you want to be sure to NOT offend your guests. Next time, perhaps, she should ask movie goers who are already in the theater “do you need any help finding your seats” opposed to asking “can I see your tickets”. Friendly and helpful customer service goes a long way and makes a lasting impression. What was probably meant to be helpful came off as offensive due to phrasing. You guys should train young (teenage) workers better. But overall, it’s a great theater.

Ok movie theater. Popcorn not as fresh as it could be, the sprite tasted funny...movie not crowded only a few people there. Something on the seat...good movie, screen was decent, and sound was good. Floor not too sticky, all staff gone when we came out, not one, kind of creepy. Just ok visit.

Get real Memphis metro area. You have one theater that price gouges us and you applaud it.?AMC typically costs $7.00 per seat, $5.00 for matinee.This is the only metro area ive seen that praises their monopolies so heavily. One cable company one phone company, one power company that controls power and water as well. The more you search the more single entities you find with complete control over a market. This is why we pay more for the poor services we have.

Newly renovated theater. Seats are very comfortable and arm rest can be raised out of the way. Be prepared, as most theaters in the Memphis area, the prices a a bit high.

Review №57

Small and usually rather dirty. If youre going to see a movie...there are 4 to 5 theaters within 5 miles of this location. Id suggest going somewhere else. After all, the point of going to the cinema is to have the cinema experience. That experience has chosen to take an extended vacation. Last I heard...somewhere in Western Guatemala. It no longer resides here.

Review №58

The picture was blurry through the movie. It started off very bad and I went and complained to the staff. They did something and it got better, but still wasnt as sharp as it should be. They should have either fixed the problem or provided a complete refund. Neither happened.

Never as crowded as any of the other theaters. Its very low key and I havent had a problem with screaming kids or obnoxious adults since I switched to this theater. Its a longer drive, but its worth it for a better experience.

Review №83

If I could give this place no stars I would. We spent 100 on tickets, popcorn and soda and asked for 2 small paper bags and the kid behind the counter tried to charge me $10.50 (for 2 tiny paper sacks). I understand making a profit but Greed is an ugly thing.
