Carmike Cinema Metropolis 18

So i recently took my mom to this location on mothers day during the matinée of civil war. By the time we got there no seats were available although they sold us a ticket. Our next option was to see the movie another time but it would be double since the matinée special. My mother asked to speak to the manager to make her happy and she did just that. Not only was she so gracious to get us 3d but refunded my ticket and refilled our $ 20 bucket for free. The young lady was a manager in training and was blown away by her response, quick timing, and overall communication. This is why i love this place and will always continue to come back.

This is a pretty average movie theater. They do have fairly comfortable seats but service is slow at the concession stand if you stop to get anything. Not my go to movie theater but it’s in my top 5 in Indy.

Always good to go to the movies, this place try’s so hard to please popcorn is fresh an the young people working always try there hardest order the popcorn bucket an get kick out of the hooray for pushing it on u!

This is a nice movie theater as it is part of the Perry Crossing outdoor mall. You can eat and shop before the movie. The sound and picture quality are great! They have many screens and have any movies that are in 3D. Check it out!

Couldn’t even enjoy the movie because kids running up and down the aisles. Management had to come into the auditorium multiple times along with a security officer to threaten these kids with being put out. Let’s just say had it been a different group of folks there would’ve been a SWAT situation.

It was a good theater.
You can buy tickets on the cheap on Thursdays. Food is expensive but that is all cinemas these days.
Theaters had comfortable stadium seats. Good sound system.

This theater was clean, spacious and had nice/​comfortable seating. The sound during the movie was clear and the staff was friendly.

One of the best theaters in the Indianapolis and surrounding area. It’s a convenient location in the hear of Metropolis shopping complex. It’s a clean theater with a big city feel. They have all of the typical refreshments, and the fountain drinks are the fill it yourself, 50 flavor Coke machines. It’s a large theater, so there are a lot of movies to choose from, and I like the rocker seats.

Okay so I just moved to Indy from Florida where I worked in a shopping mall much like Metropolis in the resteraunt dirrectly accross from a Cobb theater (Lakeside Villiage in Lakeland FL just in case you were wondering) and that meant that I was a pretty frequent visitor of the theater… Now I live in Putnam county. where there are no theaters lol Its about a 40 minnute drive to Metroplois so let me tell you how amazing my first visit was:
I had previously went to a «two dollar theater» in lakeland where they have the dine in movies and got a carmike card. So before going to the metroplois location I registered my rewards card and got a free small popcorn coupon (yay! free stuff always nice). I had looked up tickets and they were 10 dollars which seemed high to me but I looked around at shiloh and that was the same price so I thought the free popcorn would outweigh the ticket…
… and then…
the most AMAZING THING IN THE WORLD HAPPENED
I went to the theater and purchased my free popcorn, a medium drink, and my ticket all together and she says «alrighty your total today is 12 $ dollars!» … what… the… heck…
let me break this down for you… a medium drink at a movie theater is around 5.75 bucks… and online it had said 10 $ tickets… so you can imagine when my total was 12 dollars instead of 17 I was ABSOLUTLEY CERTAIN that… A) this girl MUST be new and B) she undercharged me and I had my drink cup and my popcorn in hand and I wasnt gonna say a thing… lol
But much to my surprise— Im not a dirty scoundral… the tickets any day from 4 – 5:30 are considered SUPER MATINEE! what up!!! :D Tickets are only 5.75! Holy cow thats CHEAP!!!
Then I go to fill my drink and I realize its a coke freestyle machine… and Im thinking… hmm… can we get refills or not??? Then I see a sign that says free refills with a large drink… so I conclude that theres no free refills :(
so I go see my movie which started a couple minnutes late and I and my boyfriend downed the drink so we talked about it and I decided what the heck… theres a drink machine right outside of our theater away from the concessions… no ones looking… Im getting a refill. I worked at a resteraunt I know how much that soda costs… SUE ME. …
… but again not a dirty scoundral…
Refills really are free apparently… my 007 moves… not needed.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER… that I have gone to a nice movie theater and not had to be an outlaw with goodies in my purse.
This theater has so many ammenities. Free refills, bargain days, super bargain matinée… its honestly an amazing experience!
Im on my way back today! Going to see the Maze Runner Scortch Trials in the Bigg D theater with the super bargain matinée price which is only 8 $ (What a deal!!!)
This time Im going to be walking up to that freestyle machine for my refill with a bit of confidence… free refills here I come!!! :D :D :D

Clean theater, $ 5 movies on Thursdays, not overly air conditioned, convenient location in the shopping complex — all reasons I would return to this theater.

Very nice and clean cinema! They have some great deals throughout the week! I love watching movies here!

Great place to see movies! The have put in all new seat, rocket recliner chairs, plush, very nice!
Prices on tickets are a little higher for matinée times then other theaters.
They now offer a great price on popcorn, you can buy a bucket for $ 20.00 and get refills for a $ 4.00 each time after for a whole year. (NOT free refills like others are saying)
Great place during the week, crazy busy on weekends.
They give you the cup, you fill it with whatever you want at the magic coke machine. They have 2 in the lobby, so if it’s busy you’ll be waiting for 10 – 30 mins just to get your drink. They do have another coke machine at the end of the hall so if the main 2 are crowded head to the end of each hall.

Carmike is my preferred theater in Indiana so I was excited to find there was one in Plainfield after having moved down from Fort Wayne last year. The one in Metropolis appears to be an old Rave theater that Carmike has since purchased. This is my wife and I’s go to theater in the area.
They have recently made some changes since we first started going; some good, some bad. They recently added the «Big D» movie experience which features upgraded seats, a bigger screen, and more sound (think IMAX theater with some non-​IMAX movies). We found the increased cost to experience the Big D to only be worth it for the big blockbuster movies where we know there will be lots of explosions.
They have raised the prices on certain things here recently. Refills on the annual popcorn buckets have gone up (I still think it is a good value). I can’t comment on the prices of the rest of the food as I only ever buy snacks on Tuesdays when candy, popcorn, and pop are only $ 2. However, I remember last year when they were only $ 1. Not complaining though as I don’t know anywhere else around that offers a «Stimulus Tuesday» type of promotion. Another welcome addition in terms of food is the Coke Freestyle machines, which allow unlimited refills on whatever size drink you purchase.
This particular location has always appeared clean every time we have attended and my wife and I have never had any complaints. One thing I will note is that some of the employees aren’t as knowledgeable on the promotions as they should be. Carmike, the Corporation, will put out promotions frequently on social media advertising free food with purchases or the like. There has been more than one occasion where the ticket counter or snack bar attendant was unaware of what I was talking about. However, they have always been very courteous and usually a simple showing of my phone gets me the promotion, or whatever it may be.
This is definitely the theater I frequent the most while I am here.

What a great theater. Get the popcorn bucket deal and make it your home theater. Great prices on certain nights and the Big D is legit! Worth the upgrade.

This is the most expensive theater on the west side. Their large soda is $ 6.50 which is more than a large soda at Deer Creek. It’s also not nearly the best theater on the west side. Avoid it if you can.

I thought Carmike was a really nice cinema. They have popcorn buckets that you can purchase for $ 20, and keep bringing them back for free refills for a year. What?! I wish they had those in Illinois. They also have the Coke Freestyle machine, and a butter-​your-​own popcorn machine. Of course, they have plenty of other concessions to choose from too.
Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and they charge your normal prices for movies (there aren’t many places that are cheap anymore). For a «normal» (as in not a theater that brings you food), the seats are nice. They do recline slightly, which is always nice. I would come back.

This theater has had some changes lately. On top of the popcorn bucket you can purchase and then bring back each visit for cheap refills, I love the butter your own popcorn station next to the Coke Freestyle machine. This option of having all your choices of flavored drinks and unlimited refills is amazing. I also love that they have an area that has games and things for kids to do while you are waiting for a movie to start seating. This is a lifesaver when you have an excited toddler wanting to get into the movie. My only complaint is about the reclining seats. If you do not want it to recline you should be able to lock it into place. This drives me crazy. The fact that the armrests between the seats comes up is genius and helps when you have a little one who halfway through the movie wants you to hold them.

I bumped up my star rating from 4 to 5 because this theater now has Coke Freestyle machines with unlimited refills. What?! I can get a Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero in my preferred Vanilla: Cherry ratio (¾ vanilla, ¼ cherry… in case you were curious)…and unlimited refills? This will make our «Matinée Movie Marathons» much more enjoyable this winter :-). And yes… we pay for all the movies we see on those days.
They also now have DIY popcorn «butter» and salt… which i guess means unlimited refills on popcorn «butter» too… Gross in my opinion, but there is SOMEONE out there who is now doing a happy dance and I salute them.
Rumor has it they are going to re-​open the electronic ticketing kiosks in the near future too. I do miss those at this location since the «buy-​out» a couple of years ago.
Great customer-​forward thinking, Carmike Metropolis!
As an update, current ticket prices are:
Matinée: $ 7.75 (any age, surcharge for 3D)
Evenings:
Child: $ 7.75
Adult: $ 10.25

I am a fan of this theater; as matinée prices are affordable and there are always plenty of movie time options for new releases. Lines can occasionally become very long (and they don’t have the self-​help ticket stations anymore), which is why we prefer to purchase our tickets online ahead of time. Get the popcorn bucket for an annual $ 20 fee and you can get free refills all year long.

We stopped in here on a Friday for an early afternoon movie.
While the theater is no longer a «Rave Motion Pictures» location, it seems that the transition isn’t yet complete.
The staff were friendly. The popcorn was delicious and buttery. The movie screen was clear and the sound was good.
