Screenland Armour Theatre: what do users think?
Aaron Gnirk: Great movie theater owned by two cinema loving brothers who screen new releases, retro, cult classics and local filmmaker features.
Brandy Shepherd: I loved the atmosphere and that I can see older movies in a theatre environment again
Kris Winters: Easily one of my favorite places in NKC.
Clayton Johnson: Been here plenty of times and I always enjoy the experience. Going tonight to see redline
Ddarkest Knight: Fair.
Carl Bobitsky: I've been coming here for a few years now ever since my sister started taking me here. The people who work here are always so friendly and I love them. Having alcohol on their menu is also a bonus. I just wish they weren't so expensive, but despite that, they're always my first choice when I want to go to the theatres.
Adam Kammerer: Love this place. Check out the outdoor movies this summer too. Always a good time and great atmosphere.
John F: It was great to see a foreign film here when I didn't think I'd be able to see it at all. The theatre was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend! I love going to Screenland Armour Theatre in North Kansas City. It is a historic and independent theatre that shows a variety of movies, from classics to indie films. The seats are comfortable and the sound and picture quality are excellent. They have a Harkness Iris 4K Screen in their main theater, which is amazing. They also have a Tapcade where you can play vintage arcade games and enjoy 100 rotating craft beers⁴⁵. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. Screenland Armour is a gem of a theatre that I highly recommend to anyone who loves movies and fun.
Konekeviv: Best theater overall. My kids and I enjoy everytime we go.
Jesse Fecher: I am not sure why I haven’t wrote a review here yet, but I absolutely love the theater, especially for fun events like classic horror films, Friday night, frights, and Shocktober!
J F: Love every experience we've had here for years
Karrol and David Combs: The volume was so loud that we left after a few minutes. The staff tried to help but was unsuccessful. We did get a refund.
Damon Winters: My favorite theatre. Easily
Laura Selden: Love this place! So much character and supporting local is always great
Sherman Breneman: My go to theater!
Dante Reese: Great menu for concessions and quaint theatre
christopher mccarthy: Amazing every time
Mandy McKinney: Our favorite place for movies. Locally-owned, affordable pricing, great event, a fun outdoor series in the summer. They play everything- blockbusters, indie, classics.

Tivoli Cinemas: what do users think?
Wall Flower: They show the best independent and old films. The films here show new perspectives and lives of characters you don't normally get to see. Lots of depth and meaning to these carefully currated films.
Shawn Laudun: Why did they leave the Westport area?
Michele Wagaman: We came down to the plaza last week to look at a watch for an anniversary gift, Amanda was very knowledgeable and helpful, decent selection and great service. Thanks again, M
Aiyana5807simms Simms11122007: My class went there to see underground road
S: I have always loved the Tivoli and so was relieved and thrilled to hear that it would not be permanently closing, but would be moving to the Nelson! However, I regret to say that I doubt I, or any of my friends, will be using this new theater often if at all.First, there’s the parking. $10 to park at a museum is, if expensive, to be expected. $10 to park to then go to pay and see a movie...is honestly ridiculous. Beyond that, it makes seeing these amazing movies far less accessible for the average person, as it adds so much to the price. I honestly thought, “surely movie goers will be able to get their parking validated!” And walked in and asked about it politely when I bought my movie tickets. The answer was a very blunt, “No.” it makes me sad that people who work hard for their money and want the treat of going out to see a movie will be discouraged from seeing the wonderful selection of movies that the Tivoli has to offer due to this added burden of cost. The day I went to the movie it was cold and snowy out, and there really was no other option besides parking in that garage.Beyond that, because the theater is located in a museum, there is a strict policy of absolutely no food or beverages allowed, which I get...except couldn’t that rule be bent for just water? Or something? I mean, we’re sitting and watching a movie in the auditorium, not smearing our dirty hands all over paintings in other parts of the building.Honestly, the experience just left me a bit sad and disappointed, knowing that I will likely not be returning to see another movie at the Tivoli. I really appreciate what they are trying to do and the support they got from the Nelson with the reopening. But this just really, unfortunately, misses the mark for the average person. I’m sure many wealthy, older people in town will still enjoy their experiences here.
c l: Saw the documentary Fantastic Fungi. Great to have a venue for smart, outside-the-mainstream films in Kansas City. Comfortable cloth seats, & a more intimate feel than a regular / chain movie theater. The Nelson-Atkins Museum has a free parking lot just to the north / towards the east, but it’s small, so was full because of the moviegoers, & I had to parallel park on a side street.
Stephanie Heiffus: I have now been to the Tivoli 3 times since it opened at the Nelson. I love the location; as a member the parking is free! While at first I thought the times were not the best for me, they have actually been perfect. My only wish is that you could take some water into the auditorium and that maybe some day they might make the seats a bit more comfortable. My boys & men are on the tall side and most of the seating is a squeeze. Otherwise it is perfect - thank you Jerry.
Joe Stanton: I loved Tivoli Cinema in Westport (except for those stairs!) and hated when it closed there. But for all who haven't heard yet, it is reborn at Nelson Atkins Art Museum. It is a new treasure-a phoenix risen from the ashes. Saw a movie there today and am thrilled with the new location and pleased to see a crowd. Yeah! I'll be back!
Mackenzie Brisben: This will forever and always be my fav theatre. Thank you for introducing me to Oscar shorts and having a cute voting system after. Thanks for always having Wes Anderson films and cool documentaries. Feels very retro and very cute. Love.
Evelyn Case: Whoohoo now @ the Nelson Gallery
travis black: Good
Justin Brownsfield: My favorite place for independent films.
Tim Phillips: Closed now!!!
Alex Marban: It's a real shame that this place is closing. Loved the menu
CJ: Fare thee well, Tivoli! You were a driving force for many years in forming my love of film.
Shá D.: Wonderful place for independent film. Sad it's closing. Streaming has made it difficult for the little guys and soon all theaters. In a few years, we'll all be forced to never leave home, and a night out or social interaction will be a thing of the past. As they about are now anyway due to smart phones.
Julian: One of the finest establishments in Kansas City history. It will be missed. Thank you for everything.
J. Micheal W.: Unfortunately, this Thursday will be just day for this theater -- it is closing. Sad. So many years in KC for independent films, etc.
Brent Bettis: Nice, nostalgic, not crowded.
Bryan Wohlwend: Love this theater. They play great art house and indie films you can’t find elsewhere in KC.
Diana Cuthbert: Excellent admission fee for seniors.

Has2give has2give: This place closed unfortunately 😪
K. Celeste: Top Gun II and Jurassic World: Dominion were two of the last movies showing.

Anna Alonzo: Unfortunately, this place closed after 25 years. This was a great movie theater.
Gary Dunn: Clean, helpful person at counter, no that is industry standard but sound extremely loud. Restrooms clean.
Saif Salah Designz: Place is clean and the seats are good. And to watch Arabic movies is mean a great experience. Like the team and the place.
Catina Taylor: Had to purchase tickets at the concession stand not the box office. Pricey compared to other theatre brands... Clean, courteous staff and tons of screens.
Jacob Brandt: Great experience
Brandon Keck: Older style location, but still a great time.
Aaron Hurd: A very welcoming & friendly bunch of ushers & ticket-takers. As well, the auditorium remained clean and uncrowded. The digital screen made for a vivid and lively time.
Donald Corum: Great place.
•greentea•: Nice place to play arcade games with the kids. However the ticket prize conversion sucks 1 pack of pop rocks cost over 200 tickets
Aimee Cornwell: Very clean theater, courteous staff and priced right!Arcade is right across the Theater and is a blast to visit with the kids after the movie.
Marci C: Place was clean and fresh smelling. The seats in some theaters are not reclining seats but are comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and fresh. Sound system is good. People friendly and helpful. They even brought our hotdogs to us because they weren't done yet so we wouldn't have to miss the show. They posted posters on a table in lobby for people to take of some movies. Kids loved that. A plus is that it is inside Ameristar Casino and Hotel so lots to do afterwards. Restaurants, arcade, shops, fast-food, casino. Something for everyone. Go try it!
Kim R: $5 Tuesday's movies
Tonee Christensen: We had the theater to ourselves and the staff was very helpful! Shared specials and deals at the concessions and with the Regal app for Tuesday movie deals.
Kandi Farr: Very quiet, loved it

AMC Ward Parkway 14: what do users think?
Nicholas Mulcahy: Average AMC, inside the mall so little awkward to get around but has the movies you would want with the recliner chairs too.
vick swishem_3s: My first impression of the theater room ten was subpar. I walked in and you could clearly tell the theater was not cleaned after a couple movies. Popcorn on the floor, recliner chairs out blocking the aisle unoccupied, the red leather seats felt sticky like a sweaty person was seated in it before me, the theater smell like a cardio section of a gym, and on top of that they charge more money for food than the theater I normally use.I normally don’t come to this theater and will never come back. Just based off the first appearance and smells. I normally go to B&B Theaters up north in Liberty and Kansas City off north Broadway. They have better seats, cleaner, and a neutral smelling environment. The food is not as overpriced either. I’m going to avoid AMC Ward Pkwy until they get it together.
Audrey Saunders: Always clean, great service and love the seats that let out! 👍🏽
Staceyrene Daniels: It was clean the employees where extremely helpful n patient.
Ana Alvarado: I would like to address what happened today I had gone to the movies to watch the fast x movies and they were Id checking apparently but let a bunch of minors in and as soon as I show them my Id they were cool with letting me go in but not the 17 years old I was with but they let in a bunch of minors before them and I thought that was very unfair. The white Caucasian women with red colored hair was very rude and acted like she had authority over everyone I did not like her tone one bit and I did not feel welcomed one bit this happened today around 6:34 in the afternoon I hope that women is addressed about this issue.I would also like to receive a SINCERE APOLOGY!!!!!!!
JK M: Probably will not go to this location again. Recliners did not work and it was a bummer to have to deal with kids fighting over the one chair that did work. Theater did nothing to make it right. If im going to spend an arm and a leg to go to a movie, im going to spend it at a theater that can guarantee a good experience.
Ralph F. Munyan: Great theaters, but some of the staff clearly wanted to be somewhere else.
Sydney Savage: I enjoy AMC Theaters at Ward Parkway because it's not far from where I 6 most movie theaters. As a dtubs member, I get to enjoy $5 Tuesday showings even after 6 pm. You can also pre-order food/snacks and drinks to be delivered when ordering tickets online. Recently, I saw an advance showing of The Fast 10 at 30% off the day before it came out.
Taylor DeFraties: Popcorn has always been sitting out for a while never hot
Victoria Rose: Our chairs in the theater were broken, which is a huge bummer when you pay high dollar for the experience. But I like that simple items like popcorn were grab n go.
F8ality88: Wow! This place has changed significantly since I was last here! Technology is more advanced, but I heard there's discounts on Tuesdays! Well done!
Jake Broce: Good theater. It feels clean and new. The chairs are very comfortable, though they are not built for really tall people. Would come again
Randy Nevens: Convenient clean, not too crowded and the best seats in the area!
Ashley Jackson: Ghetto n unorganized
Josh Day: What a joke! You are expected to buy your tickets in advance and they charge you to do so. Hopefully others will see how ridiculous this is and skip going to see movies at places like this.
Stacey Rhymes: I love the seats and the sounds of a real theater! The food is okay too.
Sara Muleski: Loved the movie I went to see. Love the recliner seats. Love the popcorn and pop I got. I just love this location because it's close to home.
Austin Lopez: cheese Nachos cold hot
Apes atAMC and Around the World: took some of my Football players to see Mario Brothers!! Thanks Coach!
James “JLTWERKS” Travison: Great theater with comfortable seats. Sound was awsome and really helped sell the show.
Linda Escareno-Williams: My husband and I went to see John Wick,our chairs did not work,& afterwards no one to be found to complain..!👠

Rio Theatre: what do users think?
Natosha Halling: I LOVE this theater and it’s iconic style!! Please reopen it!!! I miss it so.
Caleb Daniel Herman: Best arts theater! Hope it is able to survive COVID-19
melody MTmassage: I love this theater. It's very nostalgic. When I was a kid I came here. In the 80's
Randy Greene: It's definitely a nostalgic theater, from the neon palm trees on the walls to the old school chairs. But it's cozy, never crowded, and has the feel of a local hangout.
David Nelson: Best movies. Best atmosphere. Local. Check it out.
voiceovercolm: A great theatre
Bob Beckring (frobbotzim): Splendid old art house, comfortable seats, spacious screen, gracious employees, really all the best reasons to abandon the TV for the evening can be found here. Can't wait to return. Thanks!
Charles Smith: Usually have movies that aren't shown in other theaters
Jason: Had a good time
Vicky Guess: Nostalgic and fun! They show documentaries I've been hoping to see as well as good films.
Larry Hawkins: We enjoyed the theater, but the air-conditioning was not performing at a level that was comfortable.
Devin Craft: Love the Rio. It is part of the Fine Arts theatre group with Glenwood Arts theatre. I go to Glenwood more often, but Rio is a fun change of pace when we want to visit downtown Overland Park. Like Glenwood, they run independent movies, Oscar contenders, and documentaries. We most recently saw "The Biggest Little Farm" which I wouldn't have even heard of outside of the Fine Arts theatres. They are great curators of films that are worth seeing!The Rio itself is a fun experience. The ticket booth in the front, the beautiful neon lights on the exterior and in the auditorium, the small lobby and concession stand...It's all very evocative.
Heidi Craft: Dinner and movie with my oldest son! We love the Rio and the Glenwood Arts theaters. Old theaters with so much personality!
John Jones: Great dinner theater.
J G: Takes me back to my childhood
Spyder Mama: Love this theater. Hopefully this historic place will not go way of the rest of downtown Overland Park.
t bland: It's an true honor to have come across this intimate theater that supports the FINE ARTS
Lois Winningham: Great atmosphere and shows wonderful movies.
Fowler Jones: Vintage art house neighborhood treasure.
marcia hurlow: Lovely little 1940s movie theater with original walls and snack bar, and its neon tropical decor makes it all the more fun. Happily, the seats are up to date and very comfortable.
Peter Sargent: A cozy place to remind you of what Movie Theaters used to be like. Always enjoyable
