My friends and I call this place the cheap seats. This cinema plays movies that have been out a while and cant be foud in the more expensive cinemas. The seating is the narrow upright seats that used to be found everywhere. It has never been crowded here that we have seen. They sell the usual, basic snacks and sodas. They fill their niche in the marketplace well.

This is a value movie theater. They show movies a little while after they come out for an extremely affordable price. I have been to a few showings here and I do not have any complaints that stand up to the cheap ticket price.

Silver Cinemas Market Square Theatre is a Madison West Side gem. The price is always right and theres always a selection of films that you didnt get out to a full-price theater to see. The cinema has a range of films to suit most tastes at any one time, from childrens animated films, action and adventure, and more thoughtful dramas. Follow up with a drink at a local bar to talk about the films and its a great night out.

Great staff. Reasonable prices. So far they dont sell coffee but let you in with your own coffee.

It doesnt have reclining, heated seats, but it is clean, comfortable, and cheap (except concessions, which run about average)! An excellent place to catch a movie!

A bit nostalgic but what a bargain! Even the popcorn was less expensive than full price theaters. My only chance to see this film in Madison, and what a deal

Listen kiddos as I tell you about how this movie theater was like the one I used to go to as a kid. Cheap tickets, $3.50 per person. Overpriced concessions, but they gotta make their money somehow. Rows of bucket seats. Standard size screen. Standard sound system. Noticeable difference compared to other screens, negligible. If you want to have food catered to you while you lie on your back in an overstuffed, oversized recliner with built-in heating, as Mark Marcus or whoever tells you about his family and tries to relate before you spent twenty dollars on a seat for the movie that came out a hit minute ago, then this theater isnt for you. If you like movies but dont care about or want to pay for the frills, Ill see you at Silver Cinemas.

Its nice to go here to watch a movie at low cost. Seats are a little uncomfortable. Very nice staff.

Cheap tickets, every day-every show. Classic concession stand selection, and delicious popcorn, with vintage theater seating. No overhead or fancy automated-reserved seating here; just good movies and staff for under $4 a show.

Friendly staff and comfy seats. Cant beat the price and when you throw in the cost of snacks, still cheaper than the first run theatres. Looking forward to our next visit!

Best movies, best popcorn, best prices, worst seats, but who cares!

We love this place. Staff is always kind.

Review №17

Fairly bare bones but all movies are 3 dollars all the time. Seats are basic theater seats so you definitely feel them after a while but again, only 3 dollars. Movies come out a bit later than original release but you still get to see them before they stream. Popcorn and drinks are a tad cheaper than other theaters so that helps one want to do it right since the ticket only cost 3 dollars. Parking is a bit trickier now as they are building new apartments in what was previously parking lot.

I love the price. $14 for four people. The big guys cant beat that. So, if youre patient, this is the place to see movies.

Its a jit and miss for good movies. But nothings better than that ticket price! Its also nice that its not always completely packed. Not a fan of overcrowded theaters.

$3.50 for a movie is not bad. Old school seats.

Saw my first late night movie here 10 years ago. Absolutely lovely little spot for seeing some of the big hits from earlier in the year. For $3 you cant find better.

In a time when we need cheaper seats for a movie and second-run movies this is a place to go I like it weve been going there for almost 20 years since we lived here nice place thank you

This Silver Cinema Market Square (6604 Odana Road, Madison , WI) is a great theater. The theater is very clean and well maintained. Excellent movie selection. Excellent admission price of $3!!! The bathrooms are very clean and maintained. Above all, the employees are exceptional. They are helpful, friendly, courteous, and always working...they are great! Concession stand is pricy but no more than all other theaters. Only issue found is that sometimes a single theater is rented by private groups and higher prices are charged to the public ($7 last time) for admission to that theater, but this is not known until you get to theater. They do not post this in adds...adds state all movies same price...deceiving...false advertising. Great job overall except for this private rental price hike!!!

Love waiting for movies to be this cheap! Great time taking all 5 of the kids. Large popcorn 3 sodas and 7 ppl seeing a movie was 45.00. I go to the movies not to sit all comfy on a reclining seat old school is just fine with me.

Great prices for movies, nice visuals & audio, and they dont have a thousand irrelevant trailers before your show

Review №27

Film is important to us and this is our favorite theatre in Madison. We love the laid-back atmosphere, the vintage seating in the theatres, the price of admission (!!!), and the snack bar is fun. The staff does a wonderful job. We appreciate going to the movies where it seems to be about the movie experience and not about soaking us for every nickel they can get before we leave. Even the audiences there seem more relaxed and appreciative of the films. We love Market Square!

Nice experience. We been here many times.The staff is friendly and accommodating.We never had any issues here over our 15 or 20 visits in the past 2-3 years.I recommended my friends here. Many of them didnt know about this place.I like seeing movies in non-crowded theatres. This place is always fun.

Market Square Theatre offers an interesting mix of films, from second run showings of blockbusters to independent and foreign language films. The theater has changed much since it was built in the mid-80s, but theres no beating the $3 admission price and reasonably priced concessions. The quality of the popcorn is top notch. For an older theater, the sound quality is great.

Review №35

You will not have a reclining chair. You will not have glitz. You will simply have a good movie at a bargain price.

What a great discount movie theater. Wish I would have found this gem sooner. Hardest part was to find the entrance around the back. Ignore the construction.

My son had missed the Ape movie so were delighted to find it on the big screen. The price is unbeatable, the popcorn is delicious, the staff warm and welcoming. The restroom is spotless, the cleanest public one Ive seen in quite awhile. The screen and sound no different from newer venues maybe better.

Mi
Review №41

Im a big fan of more traditional theaters like Market Square Cinema - I dont really care for the big reclining seats (and limited seating that almost requires an advance ticket purchase) like they have in Marcus and other chain theaters now. I love that I can go to Market Square Cinema and watch a good movie on the big screen at a very reasonable price.

Review №42

This theatre is a terrific value! Discount price always and fresh popped popcorn (delicious!). Cozy, smaller venue also offers quality chocolates and has easy parking right in front! Take a sweater, though, in the summer as the AC can be chilly on those super hot days.

Good enough quality for the very cheap ticket price. A reminder of what it used to be like to go see a movie. Be aware that the parking situation has changed and can be a bit confusing.

I love their cheap movies cant beat $3So you can get $20 and take you and ur man to the movies and get soda with it and still get change back.

Review №49

What a great deal, especially when you have a big family or bring your kids friends along. Prices are unbeatable - 2 or 3 bucks a ticket! Who cares that the movies are 1/2 year old? For that price we can wait. Staff is friendly, facility is clean, regular seats - which is fine with me. All that fancy reclining drives me nuts, because they take up so much space that the only 10 good seats in the back are usually filled and you end up sitting in the front row. So overall VERY happy, that Madison got this theater!

Super friendly staff and for the price is great way to spend a few hours. The snack prices are higher but it balances out the cost of the movie. I will keep coming back for more!

Crazy cheap tix and tasty popcorn. Great way to catch movies you missed. The amenities are in dire need of an upgrade, and the sound, chairs, screens etc wont blow you away, but what do you want for three bucks a ticket? I hope this place never leaves Madtown.

Cheap tickets ($3.50) for movies that have moved on from regular theatres. Its a bit barebones, but I cant argue with the price.

J
Review №58

Great theater! Certainly not the newest selection or the fanciest technology, but a good selection none the less and the rates cant be beat. Great place to take a 4 year old because if they cant make it through the whole movie for some reason you havent blown $40.

Agree with the positive posts. Sadly, since Ive moved, I no longer have this theater as an option and no theater like it nearby, so sad for me. I still check whats playing there just in case.

Review №68

Best place to see those movies you love on a big screen if you cant afford or dont have time to see them on their first run. Despite big screen TVs theres still nothing like seeing a movie in a theater. Buy your concessions here because its the only way a place like this makes some money and stays open.

One of my favorite theaters! It feels like going to the movies a decade ago--no upsells, no inundation with marketing, no mega-recliners with craft cocktails...just friendly staff, great popcorn, and well selected movies.

Review №88

Great price, leaves $ to buy popcorn and soda yay! A great place to see movies before they hit DVD or if you would rather have the theatre experience than just renting a movie. Definitely my favorite place to watch a flick, employees very friendly and good locations.

Big screen Theater at a fraction of the price. Yeah, the movies are a little older that the new release, but the kids still love the Big Screen and popcorn! They have a Kids pack that is just right for a movie!
