Reviews of RCE Theaters - Roanoke Rapids (Movie Theater)

Tremaine Kwasikpui

They have made some great improvements. Small theater with a mom and pop vibe. Good if you are in town and need something safe to do with family or friends.

Nancy Garner

Enjoyed the movie. The seat I was sitting in you could feel the springs or something in it. Interior in the smaller movie needs to be renovated. Staff was Friendly

Nice Theater. Reasonable Prices

Every time I have gone since the screen was replaced has been an enjoyable experience. They are really trying hard to rebuild this theater and make it into an enjoyable place to bring your family to.

Lassiter Adventures

Super friendly staff and a comfortable theater! Highly recommend!

Susan Molina

The staff are awesome and patient with kids.Since remodeling the seating is much better..also appreciate that the staff monitors phone usage in the theatre! Single bathroom could use a little tlc but other than that...it is great. No more traveling to rocky mount to see movies! Thank you to the owners!

Geoffrey Pittard

The sound and picture are greatly improved over what they were years past. The staff and area are clean and I enjoy going here to watch movies.

Latonia Vincent

I love the upgrades to the theater. Very clean and roomy. It is good to be able to view shows in your hometown without traveling over an hour.

Laura Spatorico

Awesome Seats. Great Sound System. Friendly Staff!

Alex Sinka

Decent, working on repairs and improvements. If prices don't increase too much after renovated, will take away the need to drive to rocky mount. The screen looks great.

Lynn gaylor

Great movies

Mike N

My family and I love this place. We have visited twice to see movies as we pass through Roanoke Rapids on vacation. We stay at the RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads which is not far away. The people are friendly and you really get a small town America feel. We saw Spiderman Homecoming tonight. We will return!

Andrea Carpenter

They've improved the sound and seating.

Brittney Bursey

I love taking my daughter here, simply because the theater is smaller, clean and the staff is always super nice. They staff has even at times offered to help me carry my things to my seat, since it usually it is just me and my small daughter, and I'm trying to carry two drinks and popcorn candy etc. Love that we have a local family owned bussiness!

Caroline Wiggins

Inexspensive and not crowded

Susan Gums

We love having a local theater . Thank you for all you have done to upgrade the facility. Nightly specials and refillable drinks and popcorn make it an affordable experience! Great, friendly staff is also a plus!

Bryan Wheeler

Its perfect I'm ready to see the new Tyler Perry movie today

Alex Blackmon

Very nice since the upgrades. Seats are new and much more comfortable. Enjoyed it last night.

Stephanie Williams

We are very pleased to have this cinema here in RR. I love being able to take my children and husband to a clean, well run place for family time. It may not have everything that a big city theater has but it is so well worth going to. It's clean, the screens are amazing along with the sound and quality. Also, the bathrooms are gorgeous and very clean. I love that you have certain days for certain discounts. Thank you so much for keeping our cinema here.

Melisa Williams

Wonderful small town movie theater with small prices, nice new seats, great food, great employees...

Go Girl Ministries. Grace Overflow Ministries

The upgrades are amazing and shows they care about the venue they have for there patrons. With they had more space in this theatre to offer more selections.

Cindy Cook

New seats. Floors are nownot sticky. Also now takes Moviepass.

Dean Joyner

half price on wednesdays

Ray Baker

Glad they updated the seating and are keeping better movie selection, definitely worth the trip

Meighan Shanahan

Thankful for this movie theater, impressed with all the major updates and upgrades....small town feel, Big Screen Shows at very inexpensive rates with special priced days and concession options for frequent movie goers. Oh and did I mention locally owned and ran by a great family in our community.

steph smith

Its getting better they are doing renovations.

JD Davis

It's definitely a Sardine Can but sorta cute with a down-home easy feeling! As for concession stand the popcorn and soda prices are horrendously high! Nothing can top that great scent of fresh popped popcorn but buyer beware!

eve hyke

Theater is dated, they need new seating the cushion are really uncomfortable. However the staff is friendly and courteous

Karen Simmons

I really enjoy coming here.They show up to date movies,good choice of snacks and good prices.Glad someone kept it open.Its nice having somewhere to go that's close to us and you don't have to spend a fortune.

Allison Jenkins

"It" would have been more enjoyable had an employee made some random walk throughs. I understand its a Friday night and the teenagers are out but to have to listen to 2 plus hours of nonstop giggling and talking because of lack of self control is ridiculous.

Anthony Beam

Great place

m debrow

Man I'm so happy for Roanoke Cinemas! They have done a great job at renovating and they are still in progress. They are offering great deals to get the community in the door and I'm really happy with them. I try to go often! Please support local business!

Yessum Wanda

A bit on the small side considering the size of Roanoke Rapids. Also a bit on the pricy side, but over all was a great experience.

Burkegaming !!

Thomas Bradley

It's a good small home town cinema. It's needs updating but hey you can't beat the price

Jamicyn Weaver

Loved going here to watch a movie that I was dying to see. There was no other theatre around. Lots of seating. Old style theatre. I like it.

Paul Rehder

We checked on line, called the night before and saw the flashing sign in the lobby for the show Wonder and after waiting 20 minutes in line to buy tickets we were told that it was no longer showing. Never again will we consider going to this theater!

ebs20041

great

Dianne Barden

So nice to have movies in town when grandchildren visit. So much has been done to give the citizens a local place for entertainment. Thanks for all you have done to improve the theater and for having so many child friendly movies. The staff seems to be doing a good job. It is great to not have to drive to Rocky Mount to see a movie. I have and continue to enjoy the theater.

Cynthia Waggoner

Love visiting since the remodel. Clean with very nice employees.

Janaire Robinson

My family and I have not been to this theatre in three years but decided to give it another try. I must say I was impressed with the changes. New seats, floor clean, and friendly staff. My son has autism and everything was too loud. They did not have earplugs and I had to go to the car to get a pair but that will change soon. I have ordered and will donate a 200 pair box so other individuals like my son can enjoy this theatre. It will be a nice upgrade to go along with all the changes. Keep up the awesome job! We will be back soon! 3 years ago: The worse experience and will never return. I will forever drive to Rocky Mount or Petersburg to watch a movie.

Tony Stroud

The theater is very nice since remodeling. The seats are extremely comfortable. And Wednesday is half price day. Only$7.50 for my wife and me!! Plus they show the Best current movies!!

Robin Morgan

It's a good place to go

Dianne Ruppert

Nice Theatre... Newly renovated, never crowded always new movies and great deals and specials....

VICKIE Evans

They need to put better seats in there and also they should have slushy's The popcorn was good and I love the admission prices The airconditoner worked very well also

Janelle Given

Many improvements being made all of the time! So happy that the upgrades were able to be made to keep the theater from closing. Looking forward to the future of Roanoke Cinemas!

Jo Babb

Went to watch Captain marvel start a little slow but movie was really good

Marquitia Joyner

They refurbished and have wide and comfortable seats and plenty of spaces between rows. You don't have get up to let people out. Plenty of spaces for wheelchairs. Tues. $2.50 for seniors.

Terry Keeter

Great! Nice seats and friendly staff! Fun movie Abominable with the grandkids! :-)

Calvin Trimmer Sr

Great family atmosphere and we will be going again

melissa trezza

Always a joy to go to the theatre in roanoke rapids. We dont have much to do here and our cinema is small but very enjoyable with a great picture and sound and very clean! We are always greeted politely and with a smile. Prices are resonable and me and my family always have 5 star visits when we visit Roanoke Cinemas <3

Shirrie Neville

Management was very rude. There was actually a police officer standing in the back almost the whole time. That was very odd for a children's movie. We spent over $60 and it was a waist of money. The tall man who wears the glasses which I assume was management looked at us as if he could've snatched our hearts out. Very weird. I won't spend another penny here.

Montey Cotman

It was good had wonderful time

Weston N.

Rude people using flash photography mid movie. Loud people being rude and staff does nothing.

Patricia Long

The seats are great but need to be wider. I am glad your are open so we don't have to go to Rocky Mount.

Cindy Royce

Nice seats! Enjoyed the movie

Richard Thomas

Really enjoy this movie theater. This is the 1st time I've been since they put in the new seats and they're very nice. The employees are very friendly and helpful. I use a wheelchair and they assisted me in getting through the doors. Definitely recommend this theater. And they support veterans by giving a military discount.

Sherry Espinosa

Great prices on tickets. Friendly staff. Shabby interior but it's worth it because of the terrific pricing. They are renovating though so it's likely to look better and get pricey soon.

kevin lynch

Great place. The new seats are very comfortable.

Charles Burnette

We caught fantastic beasts 2 on a weeknight. The crowd was small, theater was clean. The new seats and increased width between them were excellent. The staff was very good and attended to us promptly. We enjoyed the evening.

Antonette Hines

The staff is friendly and they've remodeled which makes the visit really nice now.

Stephanie Fields

Comfortable chairs and space between you and the next patrons.

Jodi Allen

Great, still not Magnificent but pretty good for a movie.

Kim Dee

They've done a great job remodeling the theater looks really nice in there!!!

Chrystal Garris

I will never return to this movie theatre again. Several things wrong with my visit, the first was the fact that it was maybe 50 degrees in the theatre. And the last thing was the fact that the staff was rude to all of the blacks and did not greet them nor did they say goodbye like they did the whites and other races that were coming in and out. The theatre itself is nasty and old and needs to be shut down and another building needs to be built. And employees should understand how to greet each and every customer! Epic Fail!

Chris Sass

This theater, since coming under new ownership in the past few years, has been working to upgrade themselves. They've put in new digital projection and sound systems, remodeled their bathrooms, and have generally made a good attempt at bringing the place up to current. However, there are still a few things that need to be addressed - namely, the seating. The seats are pretty old and nasty, many of which are broken. Also, more can be done by staff to keep disruptive guests under control - when people are being loud, on their phones, etc during movies and the staff is made aware of it, they generally don't do anything to rectify the situation. UPDATE: 2 years later, and although the remodeling has continued and the seating replaced, I can honestly say that the problem with disruptive people has gotten FAR worse - to the point of ruining the experience altogether. The last several movies I went to the audience behavior was so bad I nearly left. People who cannot be quiet, cannot sit still, have to be messing with their phones, etc. It's enough to make me want to go elsewhere to see movies. Removing a star, since management seems to not want to do a single thing to enforce any sort of order in their theaters. Seriously. It's bad.

D.P. Goldsberry

It has been there forever needs a up grade,but to be located where it is it's ok

Autumn Rademaker

Big improvement since last visit. Upgraded seats, bathrooms, movie screen ect. Definitely a better experience! Way to go.

Matthew Patteson

Great place to see a movie prices can be a little steep but that is expected from a movie theater

Jacqueline Stephenson-Mills

Hattielynn Fridge

Small, old structure, seats uncomfortable but screen was okay

Joseph Medlin

My husband and I went to see War Room, a wonderful movie, as well as Miracle from Heaven. Superman was playing in the next room (War Room) and we had a little difficulty hearing. We are so glad that Roanoke Rapids still has a theatre after all RR has been thru with entertainment so we quite understand the repair needs that are being fixed a little at the time, just like one has to do at their own home. We look forward to seeing Barber Shop tonight. Thank you Givens Family for our Cinema.

Thomas Elliott

Nice theater. Doing its best in a small town.

Brock Sampson

Michael Long

Nice little movie theater. 1st run movies at good price.

Miguel Sanchez

Better priced entertainment.

Eric T

Very pleasantly surprised. After a really bad week I decided to go to the movies for the first time since I moved to this state and I was hesitant when I first pulled up (I've worked in and patronized small theaters before and had bad experiences) but this place was charming, clean, and had deceivingly large auditoriums. There was a noise spillover from the other auditorium, but that's something Ive experienced even in IMAX and mega theaters. Can't complain. I'll definitely be coming back.

Vickie Lee

Old and decrepit, curtains all torn been there since the building was built, but I must say they have bought new or good used seats. And my shoe no longer got stuck to the floor from years of filth on the floor.

Kyle Thompson

AMAZING theater. Seats feel borderline luxury and the two theaters are quite large. The whole atmosphere was beyond pleasant. Can’t wait to go back

Wesley Spragins

Traditional place and upgraded. Great times

Jennifer Rooker

Used to work here many years ago. Love that someone is fixing it up and making it better

Ralph Jarrod Gorham

Nice quaint theater. Inexpensive.

treama tate

Love going and enjoying a great film with my family but very sad that they change the movies on Thursday now instead of Friday like they used too. Was going today with my aunt to see Overcomer because we couldn’t go yesterday for half price Wednesday and they already took it off☹️

candice J

The food is cheap and staff friendly. However, this is a very small theater.

ashley covington

This theater has been truly renovated and is very nice. The seats recline back and there is ample foot space. Very nice and wonderful

Jillian Shearin

Overall good experience. Nice, clean friendly associate. Need a variety of worker.

Whitney

They finally got new chairs but, the place needs a lot of work done. The bathrooms are horrible. Not to mention, for a nice size town they only have 2 screens. They also used to have the $2 dollar movie deal

Michael Moore

Great little theater. Not a big 8 screen theater, but the service is great, friendly and polite. The prices are also great. The sound system is really good as well. Every time I have gone the theater has been very clean and comfortable. Love how they always do the early screenings for major movies too. I have been going here to see all major releases over the past few years.

Mike Johnson

Excellent movie, good food and love the new comfortable seats !!!

Vickie Greene

Great Renovation

rhonda lassiter

Lion King today...great job as always. Love having a local theater with a friendly staff. Upgrades and improvements to theater looks great. Thanks again for a great time.

Nick Bryant

They were 15 minutes late opening up, the "brand new" chairs were uncomfortable and they left the lights on during the movie for a few minutes. But the tickers were like 7 bucks a piece so...

Rita Spence

Clean & family oriented, I'm loving the new seats.

Jay is a beast

I love the movies

Num E Nums Bakery Curbside Cravings

Just recently went with my family this theatre is cute, clean, and the staff was friendly. Popcorn was delish. I would choose this over any huge complex any time.

Karen Philpot

Have always had a very nice experience since under new management and new screens are wonderful. Theatre is cleaner and each renovation had been an improvement. The management is very helpful, I know since I had an issue with online ticket purchase over the holidays which was a result of a problem on my end and management corrected the issue for me quickly. Staff is Courteous and helpful. I am looking forward to new seating in future as chairs are not very comfortable.

eddie

Great family theater with great prices

Sherry Mitchell

I want to say thank you, thank you to the Givens for taking this theatre and doing a remarkable makeover. Every time I go in there, they have done more work to make it an amazing theatre for Roanoke Rapids. Keep it up...the Mitchell's will keep supporting you.

The owners have done a great job remodeling our hometown movie theater. I am extremely thankful for their vision and willingness to do all they have done. I enjoy going to the movies here and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I like supporting our local businesses and this one makes it a pleasure. Keep up the good work!

Good

Paula Price

older style movie theater. One good thing is that they are remodeling.

M. Scott

Friendly family environment. I plan on returning

The only theater we have. Staff is friendly and they are adding brand new seats. It's not the most modern and up-to-date facility but they've cone a long way and provide a good movie going experience

Brittany Sinka

There have been several upgrades to bathrooms and lobby, but the screen is scratched and the chairs are old, many broken, and all uncomfortable.

Thomas Jones

Worked there 30 years ago. Still very valid theater for such a small area. New management has done a good job keeping it up to date.

FC The Mobianfanboy

Pretty good So far great movies and very great snacks

Kayla •

I've been here countless of times and most of the time I was well satisfied. There had to be one or two times where it was poor service, but overall this is the best movie theater I've ever been to. The staff are hardworking and I can tell that it's under great management.

Melissa Upton

Love this cinema! It may not have all the bells and whistles of a big city cinema, but I love that we have our own movie theater and RR! I think we should give them all of the business that we can!

Audrey Williams

It was very nice ! Clean theaters and very mannerable staff. I will be going more
