The movie we watched had been out for a couple of weeks so we were in one of the smaller, older theaters. It has the older style seats which are obviously not as comfortable or roomy as the newer seats. The screen had a small tear or hole, some people probably wouldn't notice it. Overall tho it is still pretty great because the staff are helpful and their service is quick. I've been to the newer rooms and they are much nicer, but it's always a pleasant experience due to the friendly staff and the fact that even if you see a movie in the older rooms, the sound is great and I always feel close to the screen without having to look up.
I often prefer Monett over driving to Springfield as it's less crowded, faster service which is huge if you need to duck out to refill a soda or popcorn during the movie. Only reason I go to Springfield is if I really want to see something on Imax, otherwise it's not worth all the waiting in line.
Edit: After my latest visit I can no longer recommend this place as anything other than something to avoid at all costs! The place is getting worse with each visit and this time it was too much.
Service was awful, rude, and slow. That was not the thing that would keep me away. An employee had a group of friends in the theater we were in. The employee kept getting up during the movie, it looked like he was checking to see if he had any work to do. His group talked throughout the movie, were on their phones and toward the end of the movie began to yell obscenities at the screen and each other. They even yelled at some of the other movie goers who were leaving before the after credits scene.
There didn't seem to be any point in trying to have them removed since one of them was an employee. If this is how they are going to run things it doesn't seem safe for families.
