Expensive, but pretty. Nice for a couple. Bad for a family.

I actually really like the Edwards theater. And when a couple asks me about going to a theater, I recommend it. It can seem majestic due to its size and lighting. The smells are often of popcorn and candy, like a theater should be.

If a family asks me, I point them in the direction of AMC Dunvale or something like that. It's just too expensive unless you're trying to impress someone. :)

Generally, I'd say Edwards theater is great once in a while, but it gets so costly that I prefer it only for epic films. Iron Man. Star Trek. Avatar. I've seen those here, but for the less-anticipated films I like River Oaks. :) Simple. Nice. Comfy. And generally quiet.

• Pros: Cool atmosphere. Trendy, but good theaters.
• Cons: Expensive. Often overly-crowded.

Get ready to empty those wallets!

If you're looking for a cheap night out, don't come to this theatre. Like everyone else said, parking is paid, which is now $3. I drove around trying to find the street parking I was told about, but never found any. Most of the street parking spaces are now Truck Parking or No Parking zones. If you park there, you will get a ticket that will run you about $65. I know, since this what street parking violations run now.

Thus, you are forced into paid parking. When you go in, you will have a loud, rude attendant yell at you and send you in the parking garage maze. Good luck finding the right elevator and have fun wandering around, because there are two different elevators at completely opposite ends of the garage.

Once you finally, find the right elevator, be prepared to be disoriented further when you exit. You will walk through another mini maze of doors and another set of elevators to get to the main lobby to purchase a ticket that will run you anywhere from just under $8 to just under $10. Thankfully, I went there last night on a free sneak preview of "Whip It!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone.

The inside staff members I spoke to were actually helpful and surprisingly, not rude. Even so, it didn't sway me to purchase any of the overpriced foods from the concession stand. The prices are outrageous and I would suggest that you bring your own, to be perfectly honest.

The restrooms were sort of a mess, but that can only be blamed on the hordes of women destroying them. The rest of the theatre that I saw was relatively clean, with the exception of promotional handouts being tossed in random places.

All in all, the movie itself was excellent and there were no problems with it running smoothly. Just be prepared to pay!

• Pros: Nice atmosphere and roomy theatres
• Cons: Pricing! Rude parking attendants.

No Student Discounts

by MICHELLY07 at Citysearch

I just went to watch a movie last week with a couple of my girlfriends and asked for a student ticket. The lady giving tickets said that they do not give student discounts on fridays or on the weekends.

I thought that that was just stupid. They are trying to get as much money as possible. Soon enough STUDENTS are going to stop going because its SO expensive. I dont even feel like going back there any more. Everything is SO overpriced.

• Pros: Clean
• Cons: Ticket price

greedy schmucks

by cmk1126 at Citysearch

It is unconscionable to charge people to park at a movie theater, especially when tickets are already at the top of the market rate, if not higher.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: everything

Refreshment price

by TheTruthOne at Citysearch

These refreshment prices need to REDUCE! A 32 oz coke costs $4.50 and a small popcorn is $5.50. That totals over $10 for two things. It is not a very honest price for the customers.

Can you image if it's for whole family package price? Go to Fleming's or Taste of Texas!!!!!

• Pros: Nice atmosphere
• Cons: Refreshment are so overpriced!!!!!

Not so good - Beware of disappointment

by vangrd at Citysearch

Beware that you might have to pay $3.00 for parking and the movie you want to watch is sold out. No way to know this before you pay for parking, hunting for a space then walk a long way to the ticket booth. Also they hire a handicap girl who is very unhappy with her job at the entrance to check tickets. The poor girl is not up for the job and acts as if the patrons are there to bother her. Not so great image and impression for the theater.

I will never go there again!!!

Overpriced Wal-mart style theater

by emhouston at Citysearch

I will never go to this theater again. They not only charge you $9 for a ticket, but also charge you for parking. JUST to see a movie with a friend, it will cost you $25. Edwards is making a killing while River Oaks Theater is going out of business.

• Pros: CEO makes a lot of money
• Cons: Parking, Price, Atmosphere, Big corporate theater running small theater out of business

Parents: Make sure your kids are really staying at the theater

by texmex1 at Citysearch

Parents should make sure that their "little angels" are really seeing a movie and not roaming the neighbohood across the street like a bunch of little thugs and hanging out on the curbs in front of peoples homes...

Also if you park on the streets across from Edwards, YOU WILL BE TOWED, and the management does not care....

• Cons: Parking,little thugs,traffic,overpriced,did I mention the little thugs?

by aelli614 at Citysearch

• Pros: seating, soud
• Cons: prices

This shrine to Hollywood braggadocio boasts state-of-the-art filmworks and glitz galore.

In Short
Edwards in Greenway Plaza is all high-tech pomp and Tinseltown circumstance. Its state-of-the-art enticements include wall-to-wall screens so outsize they dwarf Times Square (or seem like they do, anyway). All two dozen screens are equipped with digital DTS/SRD sound, unobstructed stadium seating, and high-back "luv-seats" you can sink into with a sigh. The lobby for the two-story megaplex features marble and granite, neon lights and sleek escalators.
