Empire 8 Theatre 1511 Vann Drive, Jackson, TN 38305

"We first came to this theater back before Christmas 2022. Myself along with my husband and our two children. We spent around $140 for tickets and small drinks with small popcorns. The entire time we fought gnats flying in our faces. So fast fwd to today. 1/28/24. We decided to give it another shot. The prices have actually increased since last month. This was an afternoon out with our kids on a budget. Sadly due to the high prices we couldn’t even afford drinks that were $8 for a small. This has got to be illegal. And once again we fought gnats the whole time. Since we didn’t have drinks for the cup holders we saw one of the problems which was leftover crud. See attached pics. All we ever see here are teenagers. Probably what the problem is. We will spend our money elsewhere."

"Great movie experience for my wife and I. The seats were very comfortable for the near three hour movie. I know it's run by teenagers, but wouldn't hurt them to smile or at least look like they are not zombies."

"This was my last time here. We arrived early so my 4 grandchildren could get their treats and seats and bathroom before the movie started. The theater darkened the sound started and... no movie. I watched as person after person went out to let them know, including my husband with no results. I went out walked to the counter apologized for interrupting and let the staff know the movie never started. I was told it's starting now. I thanked her and went back to my family. Unfortunately no the movie had not started. I waited another few minutes of sound with no movie and went back out again. I walked to the refreshment stand and let them know in fact still no movie and it would need to be restarted. A young lady yelled from way over by the front doors that if I " yelled again I would have to leave". I did say to that then I would like the 140 dollars back that I spent on tickets and popcorn. To that she turned and walked away. Embarrassing to her and I, in my opinion. So the movie was restarted and Mooned was the short shown before the main movie. It was inappropriate at best. The main character took the Lord's name in vain and he was a grown man in only his underwear. Did NOT match the vibe of Migration at all. To add to all of this, one of our reserved seats didn't work. Come on, when people spend a lot of money you can make the experience enjoyable. Kindness is free. We won't be back. There are other places that will happily take my money and be nice."

"This is how theaters should be. Reclining seats with foot rest, and swing out tables. This theater is well worth the cost of visiting the theater. Tickets and concessions are typical movie theater pricing, but there's a good selection of foods, candies, and drinks. We drive 45 minutes just to see a movie here and there were no regrets. I do wish there was an extra line open for concessions, though. But hey, get there a little early, because you should expect it to be fairly busy."

"Clean and comfortable. Chairs reclined and had a small swivel table with a drink holder. Plenty of leg room. My only complaint would be that the previews were way too loud. It was the first time taking my 2 year old grandson and I thought we were going to have to leave before the movie started."
