Malco Theatres

This theater wasn’t as nice and modern as most that I’ve been to lately, and the prices overall were more expensive. While the projection and sound systems worked well and I had no issues viewing my movie, the overall experience wasn’t as nice as going to a better theater. Also, the theater was not as clean as any theater that I’ve been to recently.

A very nice theatre… The staff are pleasant and the concessions offer lots of choices… The only negative is the occasional lack of cleanliness… During a busy night, the bathrooms are often in disarray and the 3D glasses aren’t very clean…

The Malco in Southaven is obviously the only movie theater around town. I say obviously because they have let even the basic things go. The bathrooms are always disgusting, they are rarely staffed appropriately and the theaters are never clean. I know that the local Malco theaters do not have total control over pricing so I will not ding them on that issue but when you are paying $ 7.50 a head to see a matinée movie the least they could do is clean the floors.
I returned to the Malco over the holidays because my family lives in Southaven and I wanted to take my niece and nephews to a movie. I was reminded of why I said I would never return. It was the middle of the day on a weekday and we waited forever to get our snacks. When we walked into the theater my feet stuck to the floor. I had to try and pry the seat down next to me so that we could pile our jackets, bags and such on a seat since the floor was clearly not OK.
Thank God for Redbox and a few nicer theaters in Memphis. I will not be returning to the Malco in Southaven.

Went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D to escape the Memphis Heat and get out of the hotel. The movie started really late… over 10+minutes and then the tech person couldn’t get the image centered on the screen. But once the movie started the 3D effects were really nice. Great movie to watch with the family
