Hollywood Theaters

Very poor sound systems with buzzing and popping and workers dint care and aren’t much help… he pulled his phone out without even looking at me when I told him

An alarm goes off during the movie and the entire theater evacuates… we stand around… not an announcement… no security… no staff. then they let us in… wow…in this day and age… no staff. no organization… saw one policeman… are they kidding!!!

This place is lame compared to most theaters out there. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of options in Mobile

I guess they deserve a 2 — ½ star rating but you can’t do that on Unilocal.
The last few times I’ve come here I’ve had to pop out to let someone know about a problem in the theater, sound but no picture or audio quality messed up. It’s frustrating the number of times I’ve had to hunt down someone to complain to. I come here because it’s the closest theater to my house and heck I’ve been at worse theaters… The ticket prices seem a little steep. I just paid $ 16 for one adult and one child ticket and it was a matinée. I usually don’t bother with consessions, I either have a meal just before or just after.

One person working on a Friday night at ticket window. It’s raining heavily (lightning too) outside and people stuck in a long line. Also you can’t buy tickets inside. This theaters manager Jessica seemed unconcerned about problem when I confronted her about it. I won’t be back.

Not my favorite theater ever, but I guess I don’t have a lot of choices in Mobile!
They had only 2 people working the ticket booth on a Saturday night. The line was long and moved very slowly. The theater itself was kind of old and not very clean. Just generally dingy and unimpressive.

Most recent weekend trip I was happy to see no lines and plenty of staff present to handle customers in a timely manner, in addition the dust on the 2^nd story lobby walls over the concession area had been cleaned! The movie theater itself was unfortunately still trash strewn, popcorn and napkins all over the floor of several rows in the theater my movie was in.
Still, improvement is improvement so I’m increasing my rating to 3 stars.

My experiences with this theater have been good all except for one visit (we’ll get to that in a minute). The lobby is clean and colorful. I haven’t bought any concessions, so I cannot comment on them. There are several bathrooms, and they have all been clean and stocked when I used them. The seats are comfortable. The screens, projectors, and sound are good for this caliber of multiplex; I wasn’t expecting IMAX and Dolby Atmos from this establishment.
I came here to see Star Trek: Into Darkness about two weeks after it had been released. They had moved it to Theater 18(one of the smaller ones). The first seats we sat in were broken which was upsetting because they were in the perfect spot. We chose new seats and settled in for the movie. About 30min in, I started noticing crackling and distortion in the sound. This occurred randomly for the rest of the movie and culminated in the sound dropping out during a very intense part of the movie. If I pick a movie that is showing in Theater 18, I will change out my ticket. I will never sit through that experience again.
All in all, I won’t dock the theater for one bad experience out of my five visits. It is a nice place to catch a flick.

Oh good grief! This is the best theater in Mobile and thank goodness for that. I see many complaints here, but the alternatives are really bad.
Concessions is always going to be expensive. You should see what they are in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston! Be thankful that they’re not as pricey.
The screen is bigger than Wynnsong AND the seats are infinitely more comfortable. To be honest, Wynnsong is only slightly cheaper than this Hollywood theater and yet it’s much, MUCH worse.
Now that isn’t to say that this one is perfect. It’s just the best one in our area. My only real complaints are that they don’t clean up very well between shows and they don’t check the screens. The last two times I’ve been there, trash left in the seats from the previous showing. Also the last two times I’ve been there, the screens haven’t been right. Once the camera wasn’t centered on the screen and the next the camera wasn’t focused.
We shouldn’t have to go track down staff members to tell them that the camera or screen isn’t working properly AND we shouldn’t be faced with garbage in the seats. Those two are serious problems and for that reason they only get 3 stars.
Still, it’s cleaner than Wynnsong and the screens are bigger. The sound is better at this one too.

This theater is off to itself. There is not a lot traffic in this area. Good location if you’re trying to avoid crowds and traffic.
Most of the reviewers mentioned the high food prices. From my experiences, i have never seen cheap food prices at theaters. The good thing is that there a couple of restaurants nearby (steak-​n-​shake and McAlisters Deli).
The theater here is usually clean. Staff has always been helpful when needed. No issues with parking. This theater is not the teen hangout spot like some places can be.

Very comfortable seats

Yeah, sadly these reviews are true. That’s probably why, when the right side of the movie screen was very unfocused for a while in the beginning, I didn’t care too much. I’m in town for work, and won’t be back here. The employees are nice, though.

I live right around the corner from HollyWood but I have been hopping on the interstate and driving over to Rave Motion Pictures Jubilee Square 12 in Daphne. The seating is better and believe it or not, the prices are cheaper. But it wasn’t until yesterday, after taking the grand kids to see «Monte Carlo» that I realized the picture was fuzzy. What a difference. And the snacks were more expensive. And worse of all was that sweaty smell — they just can’t seem to get rid of that.
This is to all movie theaters, if you would reduce your snacks, to half their price you would sell a lot more and have a lot less of sneaking the candy and drinks in. Just saying.
