    Cinepolis Movie Theater image
    Was so happy we choose Cinepolis. It looked like they recently got new seats. I'm not a 100% sure. But the last time I was there the seats were looking old and worn out. I had stopped going there cause the seat were looking so bad and the tickets were so expensive for worn out bad looking seats. I was happy to see how clean the theater looked. Will be back See more..

    Studio Movie Grill (Simi Valley) image
    For Tuesday $6 movie nights we enjoy taking in a time for dinner and a movie here. Beers on Tuesday are $5 too. We enjoy ordering from the grill and have not been disappointed. This latest experience for a 4:15 show we ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and the coconut shrimp - yumm! Food arrived fresh and hot and the shrimp with Thai chili sauce was really good - nice large shrimp. Fries were fresh and hot as well. If you need a night out and want to watch a movie, this is an inexpensive way to enjoy. Servers in the theatre are terrific. See more..

    My only complaint about this theater is that it isn't located closer to my house! But when I'm in this area, I love going here. They run first-run movies, you can pick your seats, the seats recline, you can have wine with your movie, and theres lots of choices of other things to eat.

    Great company! Been a stub premiere customers since August 2017 and it is great. $6.00 any movies on Tuesdays and with the premiere I can skip the lines, get upgrade on popcorn and drinks and I get rewarded 5.00 back every time I spend 50.00 even using the Tuesday special price tickets! The AMC APP is great as well, it lets you choose seats and purchase tickets right on your phone. Easy to navigate and if you mess up, no worries their customer service is amazing, they will refunded you with no question... I will be loyal to this company for sure, they are doing it right!! ➡️ Definitely upgrade for stub premiere you won’t regret it. Ontario Mills in California is my theater, it is clean, organize and they offer full menu and full bar... Can’t be better ❤️ Perfect place to be on a hot #summer days. See more..

    AMC Loews Marina 6 image
    First and foremost, let me tell you this theater is like traveling first class compared to other theaters. it is really nice to watch a very long movie here and order food and even drinks. The seats are plush and extremely comfortable. I do not know why everyone complains that it is too cold, I found it to be just right and maybe even a little bit warm. I did not need a pillow and or a blanket even though I brought one of each! I watched the hobbit here and it was perfect for such a lengthy movie. The food was good and the dining menu is pretty lengthy and they do not gauge you! I absolutely loved this place and had a really nice time and will definitely come again for sure. See more..

The movie theatre is large, bright and clean. The parking garage behind the theatre validates. I took a walk down the street before the show. There are several interesting restaurants and shops.

    It's been awhile we haven't gone to the theater ever since we had the comfort of watching movies at home but was amazed when we did just a few days ago. My husband and I loved the new reclining seats and the space they have provided for people to walk through your row. No hassle of being bothered to adjust your seat position when they walk past through. Just great! Restrooms and theater itself are clean and well kept. We're looking forward to another good movie to watch at this theater again. See more..

    Great theatre especially the IMAX. I like the reserved seating for popular movies. This theater allows ticket purchasing on Fandango or the Cinemark App/website. With 22 theaters there is always something to see. Inside the lobby is a Starbucks, snack bar, party room for birthdays, and a small eating area. There is another snack bar passed the ticket taker, but it is not always open. A great theater. See more..

I love the prices here cheap and good portions. I also love the bar, many beer and drink options at a reasonable price. The lady that made my black berry mojito was so nice and she definitely poured a GReat Amount Only 8 minutes from Encino will definitely be comming back here. See more..
  31. 4.5 Santee Drive-In (29 reviews)
    - One of Santee's most unique attractions
    Movie Theaters
    Santee Drive-In image
    There's no stadium seating, no fancy 3D or IMAX. The employees aren't in fancy uniforms. Tickets are under $10 to see 2 new movies, you get to experience it in the comfort of your own vehicle and you get to bring your own food, drinks and fun! So it's not all glamorous - the employees are a notch above fair workers (carnies) but they also don't care if you drink, smoke or more. Just make sure if you're in a truck/SUV you park in the last few rows and try to keep your headlights off if you're going to arrive late or leave early. Bring blankets, chairs and a cooler. If you're drinking make sure it's somewhat discrete - and don't leave a mess in your spot :D See more..

    Regency Theater image
    My first visit to the Regency was more than I expected because of the fact the movies are cheap and not first run. The snacks are let's say the "price is more than right". The seat are spacious and if you want to snugggle just raise the arm rest. It was clean inside and out. I saw a movie that I wanted to see the night it came out but didn't get a chance to see and for less than half the price. See more..

    - Standard stadium seating
    Friday: 11:00 AM - 11:30 PM Movie Theaters
    Edwards Ontario Mountain Village Stadium 14 image
    Edwards theaters in Ontario by the Mills mall is a pretty standard movie theater. There are some exceptions...1) the IMAX screen. There is often a nice selection of movies shown on the larger IMAX screen, but be aware, if the film is shot on IMAX film, it will cost more. 2) the RPX theater...this is assigned seating (which can be good or bad depending on the situation) with leather seats that recline a bit. Very comfortable, but will also cost extra. Matinees are reasonably priced. I prefer this theater to the AMC because it is not attached to the mall (although on the mall grounds), so parking is much easier! See more..

    This theatre not only has luxury reclining seats but an extremely organized snack purchasing system. Almost always fully staffed the line moves quickly.

    The Rustic Theater & Entertainment Center image
    Although I lived in Idyllwild years ago, I never went to the Theater. On this recent trip back, I was able to go to the Theater and see what it had to offer. From the outside, it doesn't look that impressive, but I believe it actually holds close to 250 people. The lobby is cozy and has that small town feel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Ticket prices are low compared to theaters I know and it feels like more of a fun experience that at other places. There's only 1 screen, but the welcoming feel of the theater is definitely worth the visit. Standard movie snacks are available for purchase. See more..

    AMC Theater image
    Wow. I am insanely jealous of anyone who gets to have this as their home theater. Beautifully appointed and perfect picture and sound makes this the ultimate AMC movie going experience. It really looks quite different inside and the costumes and props scattered throughout help you realize that you are seeing a film in the moviemaking capital of the world. Prices are very high but that is to be expected. They also had a pretty understaffed concession area and the signage inside to find restrooms was severely lacking. Those are nitpicking items however because you are going here to see movies, and the moviegoing experience is perfect. See more..

Cheap and fun way to spend a summer night with friends or with you loved. The facilities are run down and the snack bar is terrible but who cares when you are sitting in your car and eating some good food you brought and drinks that don't cost $100 a person.
