Which is not to say that the floor is flat. It's isn't; it's sloped upward, front to back. I think there's more legroom between rows than at Brownwood, and I've never had a problem seeing the screen.

Wish I had said that.

That's not right. How can we make it right?

I agree, some of these posts imply that it is an all day trek to go from one square to another.
Do not see any benefit to the theater rotating films to locations within this distance.
Miss a film because it was showing to far north? Wow!

It seems to be right inside the entrance doors. This does put you at the back of the theater. You would have to sit quite close to the screen if handicapped at the Old Mill Playhouse and the Barnstorm Theater.

I would expect some people would rather sit father away there and some would rather sit closer at the Rialto.

I always chuckle when people talk about how far from one square to another.
When we lived in Michigan and our girls wanted to go to the movies especially in the winter, I hated it. Drive 8 miles on major busy icy roads.
Now here it's all nice little side roads & no ice. I think I can handle the drive.

Spent two to three hours in a snowbank outside of Laramie, Wyoming the New Year's Eve of 1983. This was due to black ice. The tow trucks were quite busy that evening. I did get to my reservations at a hotel in Laramie where I watched Porky's 2: The Next Day. Porky's II: The Next Day (1983) - Rotten Tomatoes

You're bringing back memories, Bonnie!

I'm flummoxed when people say Point A to Point B in The Villages is too far. Or that they won't go somewhere because it isn't golf cart accessible.

it can't be changed because the Rialto was built a long time ago, before considering the needs of wheelchair users. Plus they probably realize that the seating at Sumter and Barnstormer are accessible.

I disagree with you. Our church in Michigan was built in 1960 and modified in 2000 to provide more (and larger) handicapped seating. It just takes someone willing to spend a little $.

I was thinking the same thing.......how can anything in TV be too far? I am not in favor of rotating movies, as a previous poster said, it would cut down on the number of films available.

There are seats designed for wheel chair users at every one of the theaters at the Rialto. They are near the entrance of each theater. If you want to sit right up front though and are in a wheel chair, then that is a problem. But, if you want to sit in the very back way up high you cannot do that at the Barnstorm nor at the Old Mill Playhouse.

I do wish that The Revenant was playing at more than one theater in the Villages. This is the movie getting the most Oscar nominations and should be more available for people to see.
