Big and beautiful theatre - great for watching movies
Original Text
Going there because I learned that the first round of movies only costs $3 for a ticket. The inside of the theater itself is nice. Very large seating area. The lower seat is very luxurious but the back is too back so I feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the "higher" area has more more vertical seats - and there is a slope too, so even behind a taller person there is no obstacle. Although the theater is nice, the pictures of the theater in the ads make it look better than it looks. And the surroundings are not the most popular. If I hadn't read the positive reviews about the theater, I probably wouldn't have been here. Note: There is only one place to eat around the theatre - there is a nice bar across the street and some good outdoor seating areas.
We’d been happy here for decades. Wanting to take my kids to their first Hitchcock movie, I called the theater menu ahead of time re: cost (appeared to be $5 matinee). There’s a line where you can talk to somebody directly but got dropped several times so brought extra money in case; it WAS more expensive. Still, no big deal since Riverview has been a great place to go on a budget for years. Then, were made to guess at seating before we could enter (weird, time consuming). Next, because one of my children complained about a sore throat on the way there (we live 45 min. away), asked for extra container for popcorn. Was chewed out(!) and couldn’t even buy one or get from car. Was offered a weird big black plastic bag for my ASD child to worry about (declined). Here’s the kicker. Instead of simply writing a 3-star review, I called later to talk to manager: he was defensive, argued, no apologies. He then called me back again & again—just wanted to argue more, resulting in my 1-star review.

Original lobby and theater - clean surroundings and respectful patrons who love movies!
The price can't be beat: for tickets and refreshments. The popcorn is freshly popped and of great quality. The variety of the films every day is great - a different film every showing of the day.
We have been coming to the Riverview theater for years. It is our first choice to see a movie for many reasons including the location, service, comfortable chairs, cleanliness, delicious popcorn and t...
