Reviews of Providence Place Cinemas 16 and IMAX (Movie Theater)

Michael Charron

Best Movie Theatre in the area

THOMAS DONALDSON

"It is what it is". No money's been invested in these cinemas since they opened. Unfortunately the mall is over a river and a railroad so it does have mice/rats.. If I'm dying to see a movie I'll still go that and Imax is rad

Kay Rabbit

We went to see Us. Over all the experience was good. But I could tell that tons of people there were under aged. Behind me there was a boy literally talking to his mom on the phone lying about were he was. All during the movie!! I kid you not it was wild the ushers did nothing it was not enjoyable. But that's what you get when you go to see popular movies.

Jacqlyn Andolfo

Was a good experience! New seats are nice and comfy especially during a 3 hour movie!! Place was pretty clean which is always a plus!!

Curtis David

IMAX was horrible... No air conditioning! And all the seats have been redesigned with less legroom... You are now cramped into your seat and pray you don't get leg cramps like I did. They can take their $19 ticket price and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Nicole York

Movie was great, fast service only 2 down falls is the seats squeak so loud! Anytime someone moved you could hear it and there was fruit flies that kept flying around while watching the movie we were in theater 7

Edward Carr

With the exception of it actually being located inside the mall, the place is amazing. Really cool to have an IMAX theater 10 minutes from my house. Staff is mostly pleasant. Snacks could be cheaper but hey, it's a movie theater

Jenny Lloyd

I love this mall. It has great shops to shop at and a nice food court. I like going to the movies at IMAX and Dave & Buster's

Lee Zettl

IMAX is best place to view a movie, especially a 3D one. With 3D there is no bad seat. You are part of it.

Karmen

My Favorite Mall in the Entire World. Awesome Food and Stores. Excellent Movie Theater and Arcade

Denzel Wilson

Very good place to watch high quality movies with friend or boy/girl friend.

Manuel Ayala

The accommodations are always top notch. Keep it up

Wildy M

This place is pretty outdated- also the 1st theater where they do not let you bring any food or outside drinks. Which is just annoying when you walk through the food court to get into the cinemax. The chairs are old and the 4 I tried where broken. Old carpet smell and the bathrooms are also funky. I would not visit this place again.

Steve Borsher

I used to take my grandsons to the IMAX cinema, which was very good, and to Dave and Buster's next door, but following the many recent crimes at and around the mall, we don't go there any more, or to Federal Hill either.

Jessica K

The theater was dirty, seats feel like they are going to grab when we sat down and the popcorn tasted stale. It is the end of the night but don't sell it if it's old. The only good thing was the Icee drink and that it was refillable.

Morgan Haibon

If I could give NO stars I would. I will never step foot in this place again. Tried to go see a movie with my boyfriend at 9:45pm and it turned out to be a mess. First a bunch of underaged kids swearing, running, messing around in line. …

Dylan Lawrence

Only Imax experience in Rhode Island. You have to go all the way to Hartford or Massachusetts, for a similar expirience. Good selection of Beer and alchololic beverages available for purchase. It's really nice to watch a movie with a beer. A must visit for any major theatrical release.

bryant lymburner

Movie food and drinks is wat i love so going to see any movie is great eating food is always good drinks as well great thing to with the family get the showcase sub. Save alot of money

Ariana Wujtewicz

The women at the box office were extremely rude. Clearly did not want to be here, didn't say hello, goodbye, or thank you. They made it extremely uncomfortable to come here. The other staff were friendly, auditorium and restrooms clean. Management should speak to their box office staff, or even consider replacing them.

Rebecca Beauchamp

Highly overrated as its the only imax theater. Very overpriced but good for the kids to see 3-D

NightFall Gaming

Huge screens and unlimited refills on slushies and drinks

Trinere Bowen

terrible customer service, My friend and I left in the middle of the movie that cost $25.00 which is way over price because of they're MICE!!!!! problem yes I said mice when we reported it to a employee they were very rude and blamed it on the food courts , they're reasoning was Quote on quote "what do you expect we are above a food court" which is disgusting and throwing all the food courts under the bus not to mention after speaking to four employees and a manager they seem to be aware of the mouse problem they choose to be nonchalant if the manager doesn't fix the customer service/staff or the mouse problem I'm going to corporate!

Nicholas Russo

Went and seen Aladin in 3D was a good movie must see these new remakes of the Disney movies are fire about to chase them all down The (

Corey Pearsall

Big mall. Lots of stores to choose from

Alexa Rojo

I love this movie theater. High quality movies. This is my favorite movie theater. Clean seats. Good service.

Justin Stockard

Clean, nice, but the theater we were in was hot. In the 80's. Get the AC working.

Kerry Perez

I went to see the joker at around 2pm on a Thursday, the movie was great, but the sound of the movie wasn't loud enough and so many immature people go there that cant shut up and are loud during the movie

Victoriano Hernandez

The only way to experience a movie is in IMAX. Every summer blockbuster is enjoyed from the comfort of these IMAX seats! The theater experience is lacking at the concession but you can’t beat reserved seating and an AWESOME military discount.

Ms. Beerus

It was ok. Nothing spectacular.

Cee M

Very clean. I max is good.

Kelli Noonan

This is probably the dirtiest theatre I have ever been to, management is rude, seats are uncomfortable and small, movie goers are loud and generally unruly.... in big need of a remodel. Plus if anything bad were ever to happen in this location, it would be the most unsafe place to be. It's convenient that it's in the mall but that's about it. Go elsewhere if possible.

Mike Maven

If the theater management wonders why their seats are not filled, the answer is simple. They allow all out social events to take place in their theaters and do nothing about it. I swear this one group was standing and yelling at each other, sharing food and drinks like it was a barbecue the entire movie. The subwooers were broken in the theater so the sound had no impact. I live down the street and I'm never coming back to this theater.

Alexis Newell

Their cashiers don’t know how to count. I paid $20 in cash for $8.75 ticket and got back $4 instead of $11.25. At the time I thought I had a $1 bill wrapped around a $10 but unfortunately trusting the staff there was a mistake. Since there …

Yelinton Adolfo Galvez Ramirez

Ok, some recommendations: about movies with on this place. It is my favorite cinema on Providence area, you earn points every time you use your showcase membership card, that can give you free movies, free.popcorn etc. But as a general rule for movie fans if you love a movie and it's available in IMAX; don't hesitate watch it on IMAX the screen, the sound is awesome and beautiful. If is on IMAX 3D, I won't recommend it. IMAX 2D it's more enjoyable. But it's only my opinion, it will be always your choice. Thanks.

Peter Wiernicki

This place has more.scteens than I can count and is legitimately awesome.

Cathy Bender

Nice atmosphere, nice bartender

Ryan Matthews

Ticket said movie started at 7. It started at 7. The futures nuts bro

Andrew Vanner

Good screen, gave away posters, has good collectable popcorn buckets.

Timothy Killilea

Protip: Reaching the theatre will mean walking up to a half mile. Plan ahead because it's not as easy as walking into the main entrance. Providence Place Cinemas is a giant sized place with sixteen theatres and a few Imax theatres as well. …

Brandon Murchison

Great place 4 movie n family

Evelyn Siler

I was going to be an hour late to a movie and they were very nice about letting me use my tickets for a later show that evening (I had to pay an extra few dollars because late movies are more expensive but I didn't mind). The movie …

Rhody Ginger

Good experience visiting the standard cinema side of the theater. Definitely an older retrofitted location with standard stadium seating but it's certainly well kept. Popcorn was good. Some of the staff could be better but they didn't ruin the experience outright.

Joanne Wood

Excellent place to go to watch movies!! Very comfortable seating & fab audio!!!!

Eden Improvements

Watched Lion King great movie. But there was no AC on a day of 103 degrees. Unexceptable. Not even a discount

Susan Arkoette

Affordable IMAX prices with a good selection of snacks and drinks (including alcohol). Large theater, clean and comfortable seats. Quick turnover between seatings. Friendly staff (quick service at IMAX concession 4/4 3pm).

nathaniel barnes

Other than the children being very noisy unattended by an adult it was pretty good

Carlos Muniz

Still my prefer movie experience in RI, something about walking down to your theater holding your popcorn and soda that makes feel like the kid who loves going to the movies, looking at the posters and listening to the sounds, those were the days, so yeah this places is nice and nothing beats watching a big summer blockbuster at the IMAX

Bryan Gaudet

Went to the IMAX theatre yesterday and saw that the seats were replaced. They are high back to support your head, highly cushioned leather like material. There is a wide upholstered arm rest with cup holder, it lifts up if wanted. A nice upgrade.

Jillian Flanagan

This is my favorite place in Southern New England to see a movie. My cousin is always ranting about how great the graphics are and he’s right. I’ve got to go here more often because ordering a movie on demand isn’t the same as actually going to a theater to get the full experience.

Suzanne M.

Great way to spend a rainy afternoon

Joseph Medeiros

Alita : Battle Angel was CRAZY GOOD. Best movie I ever seen in my life. IMAX did it justice. The 3d view of this movie is an experience I'll never forget. Comfy seats, clean environment, and a great way to really be IN the movie.

Vin Ortez

My family and I absolutely love watching 3D or larger than life movies at IMAXX. If you're gonna see a movie heavy in CGI or larger than life like Godzilla or Pacific Rim, this is the best place to see it. The screen is huge and the sound system is incredible. I only give it 4 stars because there is only 1 screen like this.

Kerolos S

Great showcase cinema! Clean environment, you can buy food at the location and they have amazing theaters! Very typical but, what else can I say?!

yes tab

Great. It has a curved screen

Meghan Jimenez

We came to the movies today because it is crazy hot outside and decided to pay extra for IMAX just for fun. Unfortunately, this was the worst experience I've ever had at a movie theater. It was uncomfortably hot in the theater, although though lobby felt cool, the leather recliners didn't actually recline, the audio was so loud during the commercials that I was covering my ears so that they didn't hurt, and the light was left on in the projection booth throughout most of the movie. I'm generally not one to post reviews but this really was a terrible experience and I will definitely not be coming back to this theater.

silly syl

Love IMAX!! New seats are great!! Staff always friendly and its always clean!! Only way to see certain movies!!

Austin Vazquez

Absolutely love this movie theater it is very clean compared to most and the IMAX theater is one of a kind it is great for a treat as the price is a bit steep but it won't disappoint and the regular cinemas are also great and much more reasonably priced.

Dylan Shack

Nice experience, comfortable seating, has the Coca Cola freestyle machine which is always great

William Rodriguez

I went at 3 p.m. to a matinee movie it was a clean environment and there were only a few people.It was nice spacious very quiet, clean, and had comfy seats. So yes I did enjoy myself. No staff in and out with flashlights bothering people at all. In fact it was a very enjoyable experience.

Sergio Ruiz

It's a theatre in a mall, which don't usually get as nice as this one is. It is a full sized theatre, meaning that all the movies that are coming out get shown here on time, there's only the release date wait. Lovely place for a date. Treat military very well.

Royal Sage

Service is great. Theaters are great. Food prices are high. Seats are comfortable. If you are into IMAX theaters, they have one here.

Kenny Firm

I always enjoy going this theater because of the mall. If you go early enough. You get to shop. You can eat some decent mall food. And relax in an imax seat.

Deb Singh

My husband and I went last week to see John Wick 3. They did not except our movie gift card but we really wanted to see the movie. Inside the theatre there was no AC and it smelled very stale. The seats near us were either loose or almost broke. Had it not been for the movie we would have walked out. This place has become a dump and is not worth the high price it charges for a movie. Save your money and go to a Regal Cinema location where the seats recline the place is clean, and the theatre big enough to enjoy a movie. Providence Place Cinema has 16 theatres but all are very small and cramped.

rogelio maldonado

Absolutely deplorable filthy conditions. Movie theater room 10 in thefront rows where infested with ants. It appears that someone spilled their drink because the floors were extremely sticky. This lets me know that they never clean these theaters. For all the money we are spending a clean sterile environment isn't much to ask for. I even approached management about this issue expecting him to offer a second chance to redeem my confidence in his establishment by offering free tickets seeing as how our experience was poor at best. No such offer was made and instead we received a half-hearted apology. I did not know how to reply... Okay no problem we paid money to be exposed to your aunt's..!? I will never be setting foot in this theater again unless management provides me with replacement tickets to a clean theater experience. Until then my rating will stand.

Karyn Werner

I went for a 6:55 movie and I had to walk out of my movie. I told the ushers about people in the theater talking and on their phones and they didn't do anything about it. A few minutes later the disturbance continued of people talking and on their phones. Walked out and got my money back. The manager was very nice and helpful that was the only good thing about my experience here.

Monique T

I love this place. friends and I come here every month to watch movies.

Jaexon Sowell

Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable and you can get a drink if you choose to kick it up a notch.

levipicard

generally an enjoyable experience. a little more expensive than other theaters but worth it because it's the closest and most convenient one.

Tina Johnson

This theater is a little pricier than some, but it has many screens in comfortable, inviting theatres. A full bar is available for adults and a great variety of food and snacks. A self-service drink station is also available.

LIZ MCV

Clean, relax,silence love it

Ian Placido

Outdated & uncomfortable seats but otherwise ok

African Girl

I went to the movies n watched the lion king. had the whole theater to myself, nice n empty n quiet. loved it

Joey Vegas

it's a movie theater. It's got 16 screens. That's always a good thing. You can always find a movie that's playing. But what I love most about Providence place cinemas 16. Is the fact that it's right across from Dave & busters. So if you …

Person One

The arm rests are sticky and felt nasty sitting in the chairs especially seeing mostly everyone put their feet up behind people sitting next to them. The staff didn't come in until the beginning and end of the movie so the whole time the respectful people would have to deal with immature kids yelling and talking during the movie. The popcorn taste kind of stale had to ask for a batch that was fresher but onto of that the popcorn was salty. The more I ate the more salty it was and my lips were so numb and buttery and jaw hurting by the time I was done. I like the amount but the taste and quality can definitely be better.Also the prices are high everything is like double to triple without the tax alone. You would think going to the movies would be a quick fun cheap thing to do but not anymore. Dont go here without a good 40$ to 50$ for a couple more for family deal day on tickets is Tuesdays can catch a break some money. I hope this helps I prefer to go to Warwick anyway more attractions there and cheaper

SexxyNetta Peavy

It's either I'm old as dirt or this day and age prices to watch a movie is bananas... In other words $12.75 to watch a movie what???? That's inane last time i went to the movies it cost $9.00... My personal opinion its good to spend time out with family but it's not cool to spend crazy amounts of money of movies; 98% of the movies after 2008 aren't that good anymore. Just because your the only theater within the 10 miles radius doesn't mean you can upcharge prices of movies. I wanted to get out of the house in have fun but I won't be going to Providence Place Movies. I was told Lincoln mall movies cost less....

Roberto Sosa

It is very nice. Awesome picture and sound.

Olga Pinho

Very dirty. Seats were dirty with popcorn between the seats. Floor near soda machine very sticky.

Kimron Pierre

Great mall. Good food options and shopping centers.
