Editorial Review

This multiplex has 18 theaters, all with stadium seating and digital sound. Eight of the houses seat between 249 and 290 patrons.

With the Washingtonian Center's beautiful surroundings and supporting restaurants, a family can do plenty before or after a movie here. You can take a paddle-boat ride or a leisurely stroll around Rio Lake, which is adjacent to the theater.

Several restaurants and small novelty shops are also near the theaters. The huge complex has plenty of free garage parking and is completely wheelchair-accessible.

Great ALL around entertainment

Posted by egggy | Aug 19, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

We have been going to the Rio since the beginning even though it is not most close to home because it has always been clean, safe, comfortable, wide variety of movie selection even showing some indies at times, though costs have risen, they are in line w/ others & there is the beautiful walkway, shopping, dining, etc. just feet away. Parking is FREE & safe. (ASIDE: I DON'T KNOW WHY MY HOME DELIVERED WPOST DOES NOT CARRY THE MOVIE TIMES FOR ANY AMC MOVIES ANY LONGER BUT IT REALLY TICKS ME OFF). & guy complaining about the sound should probably use a listening device to aid him/her.

Surround sound doesn't work most of the time

Posted by iffin | Jun 08, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

The Rio is in a beautiful setting. I have gone to this movie theater a lot. Problem -- the majority of the time, the surround sound doesn't work. I have complained several times, and sometimes they fix the problem. Other times, they give me a refund. Other times, I am ignored. But take it from me -- in a packed house watching The Hangover this weekend -- the surround sound wasn't working. I complained. They never fixed it. People were laughing so hard it was hard to hear what was being said in the film at certain times. I like to get what I pay for -- an awesome picture and sound experience. The Rio falls tremendously short. It's just that most people don't seem to notice. Shame on the Rio for ripping us off. It happens ALL THE TIME!
