Went there for 1st time in a while. A wasteland. No one there. Nothing open - 1 concession, no restaurants. Run down. A sheet hole. Since when. What happened?

I'm guessing it met its demise at the hands of iPic across the freeway, along with all the other non-mall theater options.

Didn't Regal buy it a while back?

They bought the silverado in Tomball. Wonder if they bought others?

Just got out. Still a great theater to see a movie - but a serious **** hole. The place was deserted - Star Wars came out 3 days ago and there were 50% empty seats....
Hard to believe.

Since when are theaters busy on a Monday night? It was slammed a couple Saturdays ago when I was there.

Sounds perfect. I detest crowded movie theaters.

Maybe just a slow night. Just surprised over Christmas holiday with new movies coming out.

I thought this was going to be about a dope night club in SWAT from the '80s

Palladium in Katy has gone downhill since Regal bought it.

Went to see a movie a couple months back and the place was dirty and they showed the preview to the movie we were watching.

Watched The Last Jedi over the weekend and the place was super dirty and all concession drink machines (and Icee machines) were out of beverages as well as ice. There was a 10 min delay after the last preview where nothing was on screen.

It's a shame, used to be a great theater and it's fairly new.

alamo drafthouse or go home.

So its just like every other major theater chain to ever exist in the Houston burbs. When you depend on minimum waged high schoolers as you main source of labor, you can get mixed results on the quality of the establishment.

Not really. That palladium opened in 2013 and was consistent for 4 years up until this year where it coincidentally took a downturn after Regal bought it.

There is no excuse for all the drink machines in the building to be out of beverage in a movie theater. The profit they make on drinks is enormous. They should have expected the crowds for Star Wars (especially now that shows were sold out weeks in advance) and planned their people and supplies accordingly. It's a failure in management.

waiting for the new location to finish being built and opened.

Movie theaters are the worst. Paying a ton of money to sit in a crowded room with a bunch of ugly, smelly losers sounds like a terrible time.

where at?

Was told Palladium took a dive. We started going there more often after the Mason Alamo reeked of sewage. Gave Alamo a shot a few weeks back and haven't been happily going there again. Apparently a new Alamo is being built at the parking nightmare LaCentera. I hope they don't close the Mason location down because of that.

La Centerra right by World of Beer

haven't seen any downturn at the old Silverado south of Tomball. maybe it's the area?

Alamo drafthouse Mason Park is the GOAT

I live 5 mins from the Palladium, as others have said it started going downhill fast once Regal took over

lol - Texas State, Josh Innes, and now this. You've cemented yourself as the best troll of 2017

I went to Alamo Drafthouse for Star Wars this last Thursday - never again will I step foot into there.

Agreed on everything as respect to Katy Palladium. It was a nice place, relatively, until Regal bought it and then it went to absolute ***** Will be torn down soon I predict.

Alamo Drafthouse La Centerra will be ballz.

Were u the dude complaining about the price of a Mr Pibb?

Palladium in richmond area is still nice. It is regal 22 now but no issues

Mall of the mainland? Went there once and felt like I was in the 80s. Kind of cool
And yes no one there

I take my daughter to the dollar theatre on 45 just past Nasa Rd 1 every once in a while. Not a bad place.

Anyone have any recent ghetto/not ghetto reviews of the AMC Lowes Fountains 18 in Stafford? Thinking of hitting a matinee there tomorrow.

Saw jango there Christmas night several years ago. It was pretty ghetto then but perhaps it was the occasion?

The fountains draws gross crowds so the movie theater definitely won't be an exemption to that.

Drafthouse Mason Park

Thank me later!

They recently did a major renovation of that theater. It is super nice now. They reduced the number of seats and made all of them reserved with recliners. Good theater.
