Malco Theatres

This is the second time this has happened. Go to watch a new movie and get stuck with out stadium seating. Also, second time that the screen has messed up in the middle of the movie and they can’t get it fixed. This time, no screen but had sound for 20 minutes. Right at the peak of the movie. Ruined it for me since u still have the movie going. This place is disappointing about 30% of the time. I’m gonna stop coming here.

I have been going to this theater for years. Sometimes I wish they would reinvate the place but I don’t think thats happening. Pretty nice employees and the movies start on time which is awesome.

This isn’t a bad theater. It isn’t a great theater. The facility is definitely showing its age but it is generally clean. The snacks are usual theater fare for the usual prices. If you just want to see a movie and don’t care about stadium seating or super plush chairs, this is a good option.

Would like to have more selections ready than waiting

My husband took me to see the Eclipse movie at this Malco location this evening– he got MAJOR points for a) driving 30 minutes away at 10pm on a Monday night and b) sitting through this total chick flick. The theater was empty. No, seriously– we were the only ones there. I couldn’t decide if this was because the movie has been out for 2 months now, it was a Monday at 10pm or because this theater is seriously lacking.
We were all the way down a long– long– LONG hallway in the last theater. We were both rather creeped out by the experience because it smelled of urinal cakes, coffee and popcorn and because the carpeting was totally ripped right out of the movie The Shining. No, really, the only thing missing was the big wheel and the scary bowl-​hair-​cutted kid. I kept half expecting Jack Nicholson to maniacally jump out at me through another door or the red-​headed twins to appear and ask me to play dead-​girl ball.
Once we got inside our actual theater, we both exploded in a fit of giggles. It hadn’t been cleaned– there were soda cups, candy cartons and popcorn strewn about haphazardly throughout the floor and most of the seats had gum adhered to the seat backs. Nice decorating touch– I should think about adding that to my sectional at home. I wonder if it would make my Red Box flix that much more entertaining? The best effect were the 1980s brown paneled speaker boxes protruding out of the walls. I haven’t seen anything like them since I stumbled upon a pair in an Arizona thrift shop.
The previews took FOREVER. In fact, we watched the same Sprint commercial 8 times in a row before I decided I totally needed some Sno-​Caps (best theater food ever) and made my way back up The Shining hallway to the concession stand. WHAT?! How do you not have Sno-​Caps in your movie theater?! For Shame Malco! For shame! I purchased a lovely box of stale, rotten Milk Duds (prolly purchased the same year as those speaker boxes) and a coke for $ 7.50 and headed back to the theater. Would you believe that effing Sprint commercial was still playing?! Extra points for the husband– yet again.
The movie played eventually, and I will say it was nice to have the dirty– smelly theater to ourselves (I, for one, am thoroughly relived I will only have to sit through one more Twilight movie where I am forced to listen to tween girls shrieking at a shirtless Taylor Lautner). Fast forward through a few vampire and wolf fights, Bella accepts Edwards proposal– YAY! –and it is time for us to go. We head out the theater doors and there are NO lights on. Seriously creeping me out now due to super creepy Shining carpeting. I could hear the big wheel in my mind at this point. We get to the lobby– all lights are out and NO ONE is there. Are you kidding me? My husband says he wants to use the bathroom– ummm again ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! There are no cars in the parking lot, no people anywhere in sight, no. No bathroom privileges for you. I was half expecting to be locked in this establishment and was already planning on where I would sleep that would smell least of previously mentioned urinal cakes– hey at least I could have some stale Milk Duds for breakfast right? Luckily, the doors opened and we were able to get into our car and leave. Immediately.
Never again at this location. Never again– and P. S.- the movie? Let’s just say the Edward in my head is so much dreamier and the storyline so much better in book formation.
