“Clean, and modern facilities. xD theater is very nice. The smaller theaters are average. Best to see it on the big screen. Parking is easy and convenient. Much nicer than Howard Hughes Cinemark”

“It’s a beautiful facility and location. The upstairs lounge is amazing. Popcorn, Diet Coke and a white claw is an amazing combo. I was a bit disappointed the popcorn and pizza I got wasn’t super fresh. I came early and have been enjoying the upstairs ambiance. The staff have been polite and friendly. They answered all of my questions and chatted with me. I’ll come back!”

“Amazing. Their lounge upstairs is perfect for waiting for a movie to start. The bar serves a variety of drinks and food. Got myself a Blue Moon and the Mushroom Burger with a side of fries. My wife got the Chicken Quesadilla without the peppers. We also bought a dessert which we forgot to take a photo of. It was the hot Brownie with Vanilla Icecream on top. The food was delicious and affordable. The theater is overal clean. Wish I got the name of the bartender because that guy was extremely helpful. Thanks, guy!”

The XD screen is the standout draw - standard auditoriums are average by comparison. Easy parking is a consistent highlight versus other Westside cinemas. Staff are polite. Food freshness in the upstairs lounge can vary depending on the time of arrival.
