    The atmosphere is always very friendly, and they always carry the new big ticket movies. I love this place.

    I just moved to Edwardsville two months ago (from St Louis) and was looking forward to checking out…read morethe local movie theater since I finally had one extremely close to me (it's like a 5 minute drive!). So, as with most things, I hopped on Yelp and was shocked with the low ratings and reviews. Nonetheless, I still planned to check it out, I still planned on having my very own experience. I've been twice in the last month and was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, there was ample parking both times (I went to evening shows). Once inside, things were clean (although I haven't checked out the restrooms yet), the temperature was comfortable, and the popcorn was good (you can add your own butter and such!). The employees were also pleasant enough - I'll take that. The seating in the auditorium I sat in the first time was more comfortable than the second, but nothing unbearable. The screens and sound were of good quality too. Side Note: Predator: Badlands was AWESOME! I allow grace for places of business to have an off day at times, fully realizing if that "off" day just so happens to be each and every time you've patronized it then that's probably just the norm. But I also recognize that these days especially , it's hard to find and keep decent employees, and that has a trickle down effect. Anyway, this may not be a fancy theater with reclining seats or call-buttons to order from your seat, but this movie theater is a solid option to catch a movie if you're okay with those things.

    I just saw Spider-man brand new day, (the movie was good) the theater on the other hand, the…read morepopcorn and drinks are over priced (go figure) but the worst part, I paid extra for the seats that recline in the Dolby Theater. and guess what? They didn't even work. I mean the actual theater was okay I guess. The movie looked and sounded good on the screen. But if I pay more to get better seats I expect them to work. So I can't really recommend this exact theater.

    If it were not for NCG Cinema, I probably would never go to Alton Square Mall. NCG is on the…read morebackside of the mall and has its own private entrance on the outside. NCG is a 8 screen theatre. The seats are cushy comfortable with foot rest that you can control. They also have a small snack table with a cup holder attached to each chair. Having this table makes it so much easier to enjoy the movie. Trying to hold on to your popcorn and soda, while watching a movie is always a challenge. The screen is a good size for boutique sized theaters. The sound is also adjusted to a good volume. It's not overly load or to soft that you cannot hear each and every line. Concessions are expensive like any movie house. Soda and popcorn are self-serve. They give you a soda glass and an empty popcorn tub and you fill it yourself. If you like buttery popcorn, you're in control of how much you add to your tub. Bonus, they have a small bar that serves, beer, wine and a variety of canned seltzer's. NCG is the only movie house in Alton. Even if it weren't, I'd still be back. The staff is friendly and the theatre itself is one of the cleanest movie houses I have visited.

    Best movie theatre in the area. Even better than Edwardsville. Maybe the only thing we have…read morebetter than Edwardsville. Its clean, relatively cheap. Not sure why they have a service charge for buying tickets online before the show. You would think it would benefit them to sell tickets up front. NCG. please change this practice.
