    Confession stand at Rio Theatre
    Krista I.

    Nice old single screen theater. Prices for tickets and drinks are reasonable. The concession stand only serves sodas and water so I was disappointed but it isn't a deal breaker.

    This is a great Neighbourhood at an amazing movie theaters in Woodland Park. It is situated in a…read morevery unique place surrounded by multiple restaurants, and as I have limited screens, but the maintenance of this theater is really good. I am very disappointed with how their food is because I don't think they have a lot of options at the same time. Their food is not being up to the Marc quality. I find these theaters to be extremely pricey, but they do have a very neat indoors and the Theatres are clean. We go there every time with our friends and family and enjoy it. They do have a studio theater and a reclining 3-D effect Theatre too.

    Located in a very safe and friendly part of town, AMC 17 is located in an area that is within…read morewalking distance of places that everyone in the whole family can enjoy. As developers are more geared towards the "outside mall" theme for convenience, these modern amalgamations of mall and strip mall have seemed to be the flavor of the day. Moreover, the convenience of getting in and out of the area is easy considering the two main streets it resides on within a stone's throw from the highway. One can argue the anchor store or interest point is AMC Theatres. Walking in I always feel like a kid with the obnoxious carpet patterns, smell of butter on popcorn wafting through the air and larger than life movie posters all over the place. Yes, going to the movies is still experience, no matter how good your home theatre is and how much easier streaming can be (not to mention cheaper). The food here is pretty good, not great however the price doesn't match the quality. Again, that's a theatre for you. When I do decide on ordering food while watching a movie, I don't like messy things like burgers. So, I stick to simple things like pizza, popcorn, fries and chicken fingers. Oh and as someone that worked at AMC in the past I'll give you a little tip, the secret to the popcorn is using a majority coconut butter. It's what sets their popcorn apart however it also costs a bit more. This facility is clean and most of the auditoriums have very up to date audio and video equipment including Dolby ATMOS and IMAX. I'm not sure of the speaker count but needless to say, you'll hear it from every seat in the auditorium. They do a good job keeping things cleaned between the movies as I don't ever really see food or trash around my chair. I still believe AMC has the best movie experience out there. Overall, the people at this AMC are pretty nice although you won't be interacting with them much, the facility is clean and the movie experience itself is unmatched. Even if you have other options, I suggest using this AMC over competitors as quality matters.

    I love seeing movies in the theaters, but less and less at this one…read more Things have really changed in the movie industry over the last decade, and I want to support and see them when I can. It can be a bit pricey, but it's worth it as a family thing to do from time to time IMO. This theater used to feel like the premium option, complete with comfortable seats and clean for the most part. The tough part is multiple times we've been here, there's been a large police presence due to huge groups of kids taking over and messing with everybody. It's a weird feeling to get caught in that when you've got a three year old with you cosplaying as Moana, and have to explain it's time to get out quick at the end. Another time they had to evacuate a theater and adjacent Target because of a massive fight and potential shooter. Fun times, but also just "times" in America. But for the theater, they have a gigantic bucket of popcorn for around $10 that comes with free refills (good deal to split among family). The bathrooms are nice and clean, the theaters remains comfortable, and all in all it's an alright place to see a movie. I just find myself driving a little further to see them at other theaters more often than this one these days.

They now have self serve ticket kiosks but they also have staff members available to help if you need them. They also offer food to order at the kiosk when you get tickets, I thought that was a nice addition however we did not partake today. The ticket prices were amazing- under $7.00 each for a Sunday afternoon show- definitely lower than I think I pay at other movie theaters around town!

I also have no complaints about the cleanliness, showtimes, service and most importantly The Food. I usually get popcorn and chicken tenders every time I visit, and they are always fresh and prepared well. Overall, I have never had any big issues with this theater. That said, I definitely feel like the place could use little bit of renovations, as the decor looks a bit one toned and outdated. It doesn't take away from the experience I have there but a decor refresh would definitely add a lovely touch. One thing I would mention is the pricing of the popcorn/snacks - a standard size popcorn for $10 plus is just wild ($10.47 to be precise). If they could lower the prices a bit, it would be a win win situation for everyone. Needless to say, I always enjoy my movie time here and will always keep coming back. A proud A-List member (four movies a week for around $22 a month - now that's a stellar deal)!

Especially when you are buying food, the people checking you out always have some kind of attitude. One guy couldn't figure out how to use my giftcard and told me it had nothing on it when I had just got it with $15. Online it said 15 too. He didn't bother with getting a manager or asking for help from other workers. This past time, there was a huge line for food and only one person checking out. Three other employees were tanning about their lives in a circle, completely ignoring the line and not offering to help at all. The place is clean and the food is always good to me. Plus i've never had any problems with movies starting late or any problems with the actual seats.

The staff, however, wasn't overly friendly or very interactive. The theater itself was just okay. The chairs weren't very comfortable and didn't recline, which was a bit disappointing compared to newer theaters. On the plus side, the popcorn and soda were good, and the movie played without any technical issues. The biggest downside was the bathroom--it was in rough shape, with non-working hand dryers, stall doors that didn't lock, and overall cleanliness issues. It's an okay place to watch a movie, but it's no longer the impressive, upscale location I once remember it being.

One was not working then I had issues with card reader on another .. so human interaction it was! Got there a little after 25 mins from movie start as we know previews are truly too long. Got to order in the lounge area on my side , drink and chicken fingers/fries please. My food was delivered to my seat but the bartender handed me my drink right after I placed my order. Movie... already started.. didn't miss much and it wasn't crowded in the suite. Comfy reclining chair and tray with an assistant butt, which by the way didn't work for me. Anywho.. I loved the movie experience however I had to get a refund on the food... I can't eat overcooked entrees.

    We heard about the Belton 8 Cinema after a news story about its sad and likely impending closing in…read moreAugust 2026 due to a deal made by the city of Belton that will cause it to be impossible for the Belton 8 to continue to operate. This is very sad to discover since, after being able to visit the Belton 8 Cinema on 04-18 at the 1:10 pm showing we found this gem of a theater to be very inviting, affordable, clean, and the staff all pleasant. When we arrived, the parking lot was pretty vacant since it was before the first showing.  The doors outside are nicely marked for which doors are for entry (left side) and which are for exit (right side).  Upon entering the theater, the box office is immediately ahead.  It was organized well and clean.  There were two employees at the box office, both greeted us and asked how they could help us. This is a first run theater.  We purchased our tickets, easily accomplished and the tickets very clear.  Our tickets for Saturday matinee were $5.75 each.  All tickets include taxes.  Tickets anytime are $5.75 for Seniors age 60 and older as well as children age 3-11.  Those age 12-59 are $5.75 for matinee and $7.75 for evening shows.  Tuesdays are extra special as all movies are $4.00 for any ages!  The only additional cost for any movie is $3.00 for a 3D Premium movie.  The reason for mentioning the prices is that, it is the most family friendly cost we have found at a cinema for many years with the loss of second run theaters. The lobby was very nice and clean.  There were two employees working the concession though we did not purchase any on this day as we had just eaten and were very full.  However, the concession prices, compared to other cinemas, were cost-friendly.  If they had Diet Dr Pepper, I would have to at least have gotten that (full or not, Diet Dr Pepper is always a draw and requirement for me). As we approached the area to head to the auditoriums there were three employees at the ticket taking area.  They were also all dresses nicely (one even had a shirt that said "Ticket Taker" embroidered on it), friendly, taking our tickets and letting us know our movie was the last auditorium on the left, auditorium 4.  There are 8 theaters, four on each side.  The hallway to the auditorium was clean with nice carpet and well lit.  The auditorium itself was very nice with stadium style seating, nice lighting, good seats, clean floors. During the movie itself the sound level was good, the screen was good, and overall a great experience. At our movie there were no previews of any type, which is fine.  We always arrive early to movies anyway so it is no problem for us.  We did notice, however, that all of the rest of the about twenty people who arrived as couples and singles, arrived a minute or more after the movie started.  Another benefit of the stadium style seating!  Just be aware that the stated starting movie time may be the exact time, of you are a person who otherwise arrives late to things. After the movie had finished there were three staff patiently awaiting outside the doors to clean.  That is a great sign as well! We already plan to visit the Belton 8 again this week after our first great experience.

We connected with Michael about hosting a movie night for our volunteers and staff at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, and he immediately responded to our request and scheduled a time for a site visit. From our first interaction, he was friendly, genuine, on time, and communicative without fail. He has immense knowledge about his industry & equipment and has an impressive arsenal of processes in place so that his team is ready for anything. We had to postpone our first date due to weather, and Michael was in communication with us the whole time we were working to reschedule. We even had a hiccup with our planned site the night of our rescheduled event, and he and his team pivoted their entire set-up process like it was nothing. As a person in the events industry, I cannot say enough about their unwaveringly calm demeanor and creative problem solving. The night of the event, they arrived with plenty of time to set up the screen, sound system, lights, and popcorn machine. Everything was set up on time and looked organized. The screen was bright and displayed the picture beautifully, and the sound system was top notch. Michael and his team worked tirelessly to make our event seamless so that our staff could enjoy the event as well, and they thought of every little thing. They were prepared for anything & the pinnacle of professionalism, and I cannot wait to work with them again!
