The Twilight-New Moon double feature was a disaster. Getting in for the Twikight was fine but after that it was a wreck. New Moon was 1 hour late starting because we had to wait til they let all 1400 people in because they only had 1 copy of it to show in 9 different theaters. Next came the concessions & most of the restrooms closing down 30 minutes into the movie.Also they had no air conditioning in the theater that we were watching the movies in. When you have that many people and pay $20 for popcorn & drinks maybe they should think about leaving 1 section of the concessions open. This was the WORST experience ever and we ( 14 people ) plan to never visit this place again...........Next time they have a big premier like this one maybe they should put some people in charge with a little bit of experience.I wouldn't give this place one star but it would not let me post my opinion of this place
This was my first time visiting the Hiram Theater and I was extremely disappointed! We bought the tickets to see Twilight and then another ticket for New Moon which was supposed to follow about 40 minutes afterwards. Instead, it did not start until about an hour & half later. We had to wait until they could get all 1400 people into a theater and apparently they didn't start that until about 15 minutes before 12. SO an hour later all the people were inside but had to wait another 15-30 minutes for them to get their things from the concession stand. Employees came in and would say "the movie would start in 5 minutes" and about 20 minutes later it finally started. Then after all that about 15 minutes into the movie I went to get a refill on the large drink that I paid for and should have been able to get free refills, the concession stand was closed, along with the bathrooms. It poorly planned and it was an awful experience and I do not plan on attending another movie at this theater.
I have enjoyed going to Hiram 278 since it opened, but at this point I do agree that the theatre is getting a little nasty. I think that the carpets really need cleaning because there is a musty stinch in the air when you walk to the theatre, However, the staff has always been very friendly and the prices are not that bad before 5. I really enjoyed the stimulas discount days and wish they would bring them back, but overall I have enjoyed this theatre a lot more than any other theatre around.
My husband and I have been to Movies 278 in Hiram, GA, many times and we've never had a bad experience. We turn off our cell phones, but recognize that some people--service and health professionals who are on call--cannot. We also recognize that teens are teens and their agenda includes a lot more than watching a movie--like dating, being seen, checking out teens of the opposite sex, etc. Parking if free and plentiful. The theaters and bathrooms have always been fairly clean. And the prices are, well, what the prices are. Everybody has to make a living.
Great theater. Management is fantastic. Our 3 years old went for his first movie and got scared. Management exchanged the tickets for new showtimes so my older kids could still see the movie!!!
Recently saw a sony digital 3-D movie at Movies 278 theater. \\r\\nMy spouse got PINK EYE !!!! from the 3-D glasses provided by the theater. If you go to this theater to see a 3-D movie make sure to bring your own 3-D glasses or industrial strength ALCOHOL WIPES!!!!!
Movies 278 is reasonably priced, especially considering the prices at the Austell Regal. My biggest problem is the people that frequent it. Rude mobs of teenagers and I have to agree with Tiffany, babies in R rated horror movies is not acceptable. For the most part the Adults are as bad if not worse on cell phones and talking through out. I still enjoy movies 278 despite these minor infractions it's good value and i'll be going this week I expect. Incidentally if you want a change, the starlite drive-in is great value its only drawback is the locale its a rough location and a bit of a drive but lots of fun.nnMB
I got a $4.00 feeling, but paid $9.75 for it. Theater was dirty and dated in appearance. Probably the worst commercials I have ever seen to date!!! I need to recover before going back here. Not for me.
Movies 278 is the cheapest theater around that I know of (unless you're willing to drive over to The Picture Show in Roswell for $1.75). Apart from the minor disturbances from rowdy groups, I actually have more problems with parents bringing in their young children to PG-13 and R movies. (I'm mostly talking about crying babies)
