Reopened Super great value Have remodeled and bigger seats in theater 1. Popcorn and snacks all good Saw Evil Dead Rise Looking forward to coming back this weekend. read more

You can't beat the price for a first run movie! At time of review, cash only - $4.25. Snacks are affordable, popcorn fresh as well. The young gentleman ticket taker seemed surprised that a well dressed "older" lady was interested in seeing Zombieland Double Tap, and told me so - in not so many words. I had to laugh. Don't judge a book by its cover. The theater itself has seen much better days, but I'm not there for the ambiance. If you want a fancy theater to impress your date, seek your entertainment elsewhere. If you don't want to wait until the movie comes out on the many available streaming services or DVD, or *must* see it on the BIG screen to get the full effect...this is the place. My seat had a small hole in the seat cushion. Did it prevent me from enjoying the movie? Nope. read more

It is kind of hard to feel negative about a place where you can see first run movies for $4.25 a ticket. If you are just an average Joe or Jane that loves to go to the theater ... often ... this place is a gem. If you are the person who is overly concerned about having a reclining seat or one who needs all of the bells and whistles you should probably go somewhere else. That said, my family and I attend this terrific little theater as often as we can. read more

I am not a huge movie buff but any means, but I do like treating my son to a movie every now and then. This theatre does the trick. At $3 a ticket you can't beat the price, and the concessions aren't as bad as the big theatre's either. The negatives are the seating, while comfy and they do have cup holders, they squeak a lot and it isn't stadium style, so if the theatre is full (which it usually isn't unless it is a weekend big movie) I have to put my son on my lap so he can see. Also, we were there last night during the storm and when we left there were pools of water by the exit doors inside and out. We continue to go to this theatre because it is a good value. I am really sick of being ripped off at the big theatre's, especially with the new 3D pricing. My son is perfectly happy just going to a movie without the bells and whistles. read more

This movie theater is by no means the cleanest, or most well staffed movie theater in the area. However, you really can't beat the $3 price tag on newly released movies. My family will often go and pay for 4 tickets for a whopping $12 total. That means there's even enough money for a large bag of popcorn on the side! There is definitely no IMAX or 3D movies, but honestly, $12 is the price of *one* movie ticket in DC. I'd forgo those fancy wrappings for a nice, cheap movie anytime. Not a good date spot, but great place to bring friends who want to watch a movie on the cheap. Keep in mind that the movie theater only shows 4 movies at a time, usually the same four movies for a week or two. They are also only open from around 5-9 pm (about 1 showing every 2-3 hours for each movie) on the weekdays and 1-9 pm on the weekends. read more

If you're low on cash and just can't wait to see that new movie, this is the place for you. If you're a huge movie buff that wants a quality experience when seeing your movie, this is most defiantly not the place for you. I do have to give this theater props on the $3 price tag for their tickets, but you really get what you pay for here. The floors are almost always littered with popcorn and a sticky mess from what I can only guess being soda. The screens are a moderate size, but the seating is straight forward. In other words, if you're a short person and you have a 6 foot man sitting in front of you, you're going to be constantly stretching your neck to get a view. Not only that, but the chairs themselves are just about to fall apart. There's been more than one time that I have had to find another seat due to it leaning back so far it's on the verge of collapse. So if you have a last minute Friday night get together with your friends and no where else to go, this is the place for you. Oh, and one last important detail: they only accept cash, so be prepared! read more

This movie theater is hidden in the back of the plaza it's in, be careful there are some pot holes! The movie theater only accepts cash, to pay for the tickets and if you want any snacks or refreshments. The absolute benefit is the tickets are only $4 for everyone no matter the age. They always show the latest movies that you would find in any theater. The seats aren't that comfy, you have to re-adjust in your seat a couple times throughout the movie. Also the bathrooms are a little dirty and downtrodden. But if you're looking for a new release and don't want to pay a crazy price, this is your place! read more

This place has very affordable ticket prices. As well, the employees are very kind and the popcorn tastes great. The countryside cinema has been my go-to theater for years. Never a bad visit. read more

Probably the best movie theater in the Triad regarding prices. I'll admit. It's far from fancy. Older seats, no stadium seating, etc. If you can get past that, you will really like this place as much as I do. Snacks are cheap as hell too. Just remember that it's cash only. read more

This is the best deal around. Cheap prices for movies and refreshments. Of course it's an older theater with none of the bells and whistles but if you can get beyond that, you can't beat the value. Bring cash. read more

The only good thing about this movie theater is the cheap admission and first run movies! Straight out of the 70's, and literally still looks it, the place is truly depressed! Admission is 4 I believe, and concessions are reasonable as well. I've known all this for years, and am fine with it for first run movies, but everyone else needs to be aware! read more

I mean it's REALLY hard to complain about a Theatre where the ticket price is always $4 and you can get a Large Drink & Large Popcorn for $6.75. Sure it's a little "Antique". Nothing new or fresh about this place, but you get what you pay for! I've been to movies here on more than one occasion without complaint. Everyone is always friendly and they show recently released movies which is uncommon for what we like to call the "Dollar Movies" because these theatres typically show movies once they've left the larger theatres. So I always enjoy coming here and am sure to return! read more

Can't beat the price! $4.25 for first run movies! You don't have all the fancy crap you pay $15 and more for, but I go for the movies. The parking lot has been paved so no more pot holes. read more

Countryside Cinema is definitely one of the better places where you can get value for your money if you want to see a movie. I have been going here for about 20 years, and have rarely had any complaints about the place. They used to get movies really late, where you were better off getting it on video first, but fasting forward to today they are really good about getting movies at an accurate time. Most of the time, if the movie is out, they will have it starting that weekend. The place has four movies only, which is a downside, but you only have to pay $4.00 for a ticket, which is really hard to beat for anywhere else in the area. They will even allow you to buy tickets ahead of time for a later show if you prefer which prevents you from waiting in line for tickets if a really popular movie is on their screening for that particular weekend. They usually show movies on the weekends at around the times of 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, and 9pm. On the weekdays, movie times are usually limited to around 7pm and 9pm. The popcorn is pretty good, and the refreshments as a whole are reasonably priced as well. I usually get the "Special #1" which is a large popcorn and a large drink fro $6.25. Most places would charge $10.00 at a minimum, so you can see what a good deal you are getting. Candy is $2.00 which is reasonably priced as well. The theatre isn't spotless by no means, but is clean enough where you can enjoy yourself without having to worry about sitting on stepping on something disgusting. Occasionally, there are gum on the bottom of some seats, and some of the cup holders are broken so you must check them before getting comfortable in a seat so you won't be left holding your drink or putting it by your feet during the movie with the risk of knocking it over if you jump during a horror film or crack up laughing during a comedy. I am not a huge fan of he bathrooms, which I think could be cleaner, especially if you have do more than just "#1." I also think they should reopen the arcade they used to have which was located on the far left side of the theatre when you walk in. Overall, I really do like this theatre. Movies are getting more and more expensive these days, so it's refreshing to have a very affordable theatre that shows quality movies in the area. It's not The Grande or Carmike by any stretch of the imagination. But it's really worth the value for the money you play. For example I can purchase my ticket ($4), a large popcorn and a large drink ($6.25) as well as some candy ($2) and spend under $15.00 ($12.25)! That's just really hard to beat these days. Definitely check it out though! read more

This place provides great value for your money. The tickets are just $4 all day every day. They only accept cash, so come prepared for that. They offer snacks at an extremely affordable price. The theaters are small but clean and the staff is helpful. Great place to go for a family outing while being mindful of a budget...and they have first run movies there. read more

You get what you pay for. $4 first run movies! The seats and theater are old, but if you want better you can spend the extra money and go to a new one. This place is fine for us! read more

Overall, this place is a great bang for your buck! The place isn't always very well kept and the staff isn't the friendliest but the tickets and snacks are an amazing deal! $4.25 for every showing (CASH ONLY) and they show most movies as soon as they come out (granted, they only have 4 theaters so they can't play all movies that come out). A large popcorn and soda combo is only $6 or $7 and the candy is also very reasonably priced. The seats aren't the most comfortable but they aren't terrible (I do believe they've renovated the seats in one or two of the theaters though) and there is often times popcorn splattered everywhere, but for the price I can overlook those things. There aren't a lot of bathroom stalls which is definitely annoying if they're busy and sometimes there is a long wait for snacks. However, they show very little ads and the movies start quickly! Overall, I definitely enjoy this place! read more

Great prices on new movies and concessions. Staff is very friendly. The seats are horrible though. You may want to consider bringing a pillow or cushion with you. read more

It my not be the cleanest but I didn't know that you were planning on staying making this your home ..I'm in there to enjoy the movies.. In and out.. read more

I love this theater, My wife and I can see a movie and have popcorn and drink for half of what it would cost at any other place in the area that shows 1st run movies. The folks who run it are as nice as they can be. Reminds me of my youth when you could go the movie without breaking you parents. They show lots of movies for kids which I think is great, kids need more places like this to go and stay out of trouble. So, thank you Countryside for your consideration of family and entertainment. I am moving from the state shortly and the thing that I will miss the most in low movie prices at Countryside. read more

I really enjoy coming to this theatre. The price is reasonable and being able to see first run movies is great. Although the building is old it meets the purpose of attending any movie. The owner is very nice and the staff has great customer service. I bring my grand children, nieces and nephews here as an outing. for over 8 years we have enjoyed coming to countryside cinema. Make sure you bring cash. I like that feature as well. read more

Cheap place to see a movie with small crowds! Local and cheap... just needs a thorough cleaning to be great!

You cant beat the deal at this theater. They show the latest releases without charging an arm and a leg on the tickets and concessions. I am a regular custormer. read more

Best value in the county. No it's not a modern, up to date theater, but it serves it's purpose. That's why they can charge $3 for a movie ticket, plus they don't rob you with the cost of popcorn and candy. Very affordable for a family outing. We never go to the overpriced theaters since finding Countryside when we moved to K'ville. read more

my problem is the lines waiting to get in to your movie of choice its a free for all people cutting in line I wish they had more of a hand duall on the lines like some kind of a divider to each movie. read more

I decided to do a last minute movie with my daughters, ages 3 and 9. We went to see Sing, the movie theater is old, bathrooms are run down, seats are uncomfortable, but hey its a kids movie so lets enjoy right? Not so fast..... we got there within the first 2 minutes of the previews so we sat in the back of the theater so not to disturb anyone. I noticed an employee standing behind us as soon as we sat down, I didn't say anything just figured he was there to make sure everything started ok with the movie. About 5 minutes into the movie, the manager came behind me and said, "if she needs to go out in the lobby I will give you a free pass back." Thinking he was telling me this out of kindness, I thanked him. About 5 minutes later my daughter needed to use the bathroom. I took her out, I was again approached by the manager who said, " Here is a pass for you to come back if you need to, wait did you pay for her too, let me get you another pass. If she can settle down, you can try to bring her back in. What seems to be her problem, can she not see? I'm getting complaints." (keep in mind, she wasn't acting up, she wasn't sitting still but she certainly wasn't bothering anyone or even talking.) I just walked away, took my daughters back in the movie. She sat quietly for the rest of the movie, up a few times and back to the bathroom one more time before the movie ended. While out, I was AGAIN approached by the manager who said, " I see you went back in the movie, about those free passes, I am going to need those back since you went back in. Is she all better now?" OMG are you kidding me???? At the end of the movie, I walked out with my children, handed them the "tray" they allowed us to use as a booster seat for her, and handed the tickets back to the staff at the counter. I told her she could give those back to her boss. I turned around, he smiled and said "thank you." What a jerk!! I can't possibly tell you the people that were there using cell phones (not only texting but also phones not on silent) and were up and down the during the whole movie. How many of those people were offered free tickets if they take their cell phones and leave????? read more
