Assistant manager should not be there

December 31, 2021

Assistant manager should not be there. I went there the other day the assistant manager I asked her a question she did not even answer me. There were two lines with credit card only was not posted anywhere had to move over to the line that only took cash very poor presentation. Regal standards I always thought were much higher.

Show times

They are posting incorrect shows. I was told they made a mistake but never corrected the times online after saying they changed it. They didn't.

Stuck to the floor

January 03, 2017

The wait in line to get tickets was unacceptable. When it was our turn, she tried to sign us up for something...unacceptable. the concessions were unorganized and inefficient. Go to sit down, seat was broken and had to sit a certain way the whole movie. My feet stuck to the floor so bad, I thought it was going to rip my soles off. Spending $80 YOU would think it would be a better experience.

Joplin's monopoly

September 22, 2017

This is the only movie theater in our town, and I think that Regal has taken advantage of that. Tickets prices are exorbitant compared to other theaters of similar size in nearby larger cities (Fayetteville, AR, Tulsa, OK). It is outdated, dirty, and in desperate need of refurbishment. But since they have no other competitors in Joplin, Regal continues to increase their prices while simultaneously letting their facilities become more and more dilapidated. It has made me start choosing smaller theaters in outlying areas when there is a new release that I want to see. Avoid this theater if you can.

Overpriced Monopoly

November 18, 2017

Majority of seats are broken, prices continually raise, but not improvements are actually made. For a 20 min drive, you can go see the same movie for $3 matinee in Pittsburg, Ks; or drive an hour to Springfield and see the IMAX for less than the evening pricing at Northstar.

Preys on City of Joplin as Only Theater. NO standard improvements or Upkeep for YEARS

May 31, 2018

Initial nice Theater ONLY 1st couple years new. Not sure how Regal JUSTIFIES continuing to Raise Prices with NO IMPOVEMENTS or even GENERAL UPKEEP. Many would rather pay gas to drive to Pittsburg AMC for Costs and Cleanliness. Recently attended AMC Theater in KC. Outlying, smaller suburb. We were shocked at its level Of EXCELLENCE in comparison. KC is Big town. Would expect higher costs. Put Joplin Regal to Shame. Evening Show tickets much LESS than Regal’s Matinees. CLEAN. LEATHER SEATS that Recline with footrests. Lift up Center console for couples. Comfortable atmosphere that was relaxing and enjoyable as an veining should be. Consessiins reasonably priced. Bathrooms CLEAN!!! NO ODOR in theaters. Temp controlled. Stadium seating and walk thru Aisles. At least 14 theaters. The size of Joplin compared to this small suburb, there is NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER that Regal consistently offers the pitiful excuse for local population that they have and do. Should turn Regal into $1-2 Theater that once existed and invest in building a place where patrons aren’t robbed and disappointed with almost every visit. The surrounding towns plus Joplin, would more than Support a NEW THEATER. The current state of Regal Northstar is nearing or as bad as $1 theaters were before demolished, if not already there. That too, would serve purpose for larger families that CAN NOT AFFORD to pay Regal Prices. Is there a Business Agreement that AMC can’t build in Joplin? If not, they would pay for new theater in short time given choice of where to attend. REGAL- Offer a Place to be Proud of. Any Travelers that should stay overnight and seek out a theater leave Joplin with only a Negative Experience. Overheard comments sitting in local Restaurant how AWFUL it was and they’d wished they’d have stayed in room and PAID for Movie Streaming. Were treated very rudely when leaving because of the smell, conditions and poor quality whenrequesting refund.

Reserved seats, for real?????

November 13, 2019

I could understand if this was a first class theatre, but to have reserved seats when most of the time during the week, there are less than 10 people to some of the movies is ridiculous. Guess we will have to do our weekly movies in either Neosho or Pittsburg from now on. They are both nicer theatres, and are both cheaper!

Outdated and overpriced monopoly

September 28, 2018

The theater was great when it first opened, 25 or so years ago - Now it's decrepit - As the times change and theaters upgrade, this theater fails to do so - what makes matters worse, is that there were three other theaters in Joplin before this one opened, but they have all since been put out of business - If AMC or someone who move in and set up shop, they would have an immediate customer base, as most people travel up to an hour away to go see a movie rather than visit the theater in Joplin - I myself will drive 20 minutes to Pittsburg or Neosho sometimes just because I don't want to pay the unreal ticket prices - The concession isn't much better, it's outrageous in price, but all theaters are usually - They don't have any combo deals though, so expect to pay $7 for a large drink and $9 for a large popcorn - Sneak in a $1 candy from Walmart, as they'll charge you $6 for the same item at the theater - It's highway robbery, and they wonder why they can't get people through their doors - I'm just waiting for the day they're finally closed down for good - Some group of asswipe kids who isn't disabled is always sitting in the top row in one of the 5 or 6 disabled seats - Having an artificial knee means having to constantly straighten your leg out, which isn't a problem if you're in a reclining seat, but you won't find those at this theater - Bottom line, this place is a joke and needs TORN DOWN, CONDEMNED, you get the point....

Bad got worse with assigned seats

December 05, 2019

We put up with the horrible conditions at this aging theater, for a long time. We did start going to Pittsburgh much more often, but didn't rule out Joplin until the assigned seats. Now we will never return, Keep the broken seats, the poor temp control, and the smell, and now the terrible idea of assigned seats and see how long you last.
