    The auditoriums are terribly laid out. Screen was small relative to the auditorium and row level descends as rows go back so your viewpoint is always up. Popcorn is THE best ever though!!

    Comfy seats, not a ton of trailers, outside the cookie cutter theater design. Whenever a movie is playing here instead of AMC on 87th & 3rd, it's a bonus.

    Best interior design of any movie theater in the city. Feels like a space station. Terrible screens and customer service though.

    No movie theatre is worth $15... this one a bit more run down and outdated compared to AMC or Regal ones!!! Popcorn, soda, candy, etc are stupid expensive but at least it is large portions

    The seats aren't very spacious. And the people working the concession stand weren't very friendly.

    popcorn is so much better (and fresher) than AMC. try one of their popcorn "flavors". the kettle corn is nice, but always seems to be sold out.

    Popcorn is pretty good and the small sodas are actually a great size. Medium popcorn is kinda big though. Good prices compared to the AMC

    Most theaters have seats where you can lift up the chair's arm rest allowing you to sit arm-in--arm on date night

    Cinema seats smell a little musty... Like being in an old attic. Bring febreze.

    Nachos are usually stale, but that isn't unexpected. Popcorn was better than at the nearby AMC.

    Movies cost way too much to go to this theater. The place needs an upgrade. The sound isn't the greatest either.

    They do not do matinee prices. No need to catch a early morning movie here.

    The escalator at this place is fucking broken, so if that's why you were coming to this place: make other plans.

    Theater is in SERIOUS need of a renovation. Small screens and poor quality projectors with awful artifacts. Absurd that they charge $14 per ticket here.

    Wow, just had 3 separate employees be rude to me on the same trip to this theatre. Employees seem to be very unhappy.
