I really enjoy going here on weeknights when it is not so busy. Ive noticed there is a lot of Staff that has been working here for a while, which to me seems like they treat their employees well. The aforementioned staff is always pleasant and courteous.The seats are comfortable and the aisles are usually kept pretty clean.Its a madhouse on the weekend and I hardly go to this theatre when it is the weekend, but its not unbearable.Ive had a few incidents over the years when Ive had to return tickets or get a refund for a bad print* (*very rare), but the Management always accommodates without question.The presentation is always very good. I sometimes wish their concession stands, where the auditoriums are, were manned fully all the time, but I get that its not always feasible.

Probably my favorite theater in town. I love the assigned seating and how comfortable the seats are. By far the best thing about the theater! They offer more show time options compared to other theaters, which is great for planning purposes. The place is kept moderately clean (bathrooms could use some work) and the prices are about the same as everywhere else.

Great theater. Comfortable recliner seats and many movie choices. Lobby/snack bar needs some updates. When you walk in the door it smells like a musty swimming pool. The ladys restroom sinks dont all work either. Staff is friendly and the comfy seats more than make up for the musty entrance and dated bathrooms. I will choose this theater over others closer to my home for the nice seats!

We always watch a movie here. The popcorn is pretty good, all restrooms are close by. You dont have to go all the way up front for refills, their snack bars are close by. Love the place. I highly recommend this place. Comfortable seating.

Everything is good and comfortable. Staff are nice and efficient. Snack food has a lot of variety. Only downfall is its more on the pricey side of average - though it is too be expected for a place like it. Expect with concessions an average of $20 for one person, maybe $35 for two.

The best concessions hands down. The kettle popcorn is my favorite. Its a great place to enjoy a movie and have the best snacks. Theaters are extremely confortable and clean. The staff are always very friendly. This is my favorite theater to watch a movie at. I hate going to other theaters with no snack options and sub-standard popcorn... It ruins the entire movie. For the best movie experience this is the place to go...

On the website it shows that the movie theaters are supposed to have open July 15 now we’re in August actually September 5 and there are still no movie theaters open for 2020. Notify people on when you’re opening!

Bought tickets online, went inside the theater and didnt have a problem. Just went and bought fresh popcorn and a drink.Customer service was great as we entered into the movie halls. No issues or fuss. I needed some assistance at customer service, so I went back out into the open area. Customer service was near the entrance. I requested for a pair of head phones for the hearing impaired. The lady and manager were very kind to assist with one. They were very kind and helpful. The manager even helped set up the head phones inside the movie. Very respectful I might add. The seating was great. No crying babies!! No issues, my family and I enjoyed our movie night. As we were leaving, even security was outside roaming the parking lots. I felt great about that. I recommend this establishment.

One of the best theaters in Albuquerque! Clean, comfy seats, and absolutely awesome how they play old movies for their anniversary! Especially Alien! I had such a blast here and it was such a treat to see Alien for the 40th anniversary! Very professional and friendly staff here at this location. I will definitely be back!

Nice theater. Youll always find what you want to watch at a convenient time. Of course as with most theaters confessions are priced super high. Decent arcade area. The D-Box powered seats are some of the best lounge seats in Albuquerque. Very comfortable and adjustable with the push of a button.

This is an excellent theater. Seats after comfortable and the theater is kept quite clean. It takes a bit to get used to the concession stand, but thats a small price to pay. While they do have handicapped parking, considering the number of theaters, they lack sports to park, especially near the entrances. Otherwise its a great theater.

I really love that they updated this theater when they did to the recliner chairs. They are so comfortable. I love that choosing your seats either at the theater or online is so easy, and you don’t have to worry about getting there super early to find seats. One of the best theaters we have.

Went to see Frozen 2 and bought our tickets at the box office. We were told by a very grumpy ticket seller that all that was left were front row seats. We agreed. Entering the theater most of the seats were empty and we headed for the front row. We found out later that we were in Row C instead of Row A. (No wonder they didnt seem so far forward) Row A was so so so far forward we didnt even see it. We settled in on Row A and of course the kids didnt care. The usher or whatever they are called, was very kind and told us if we couldnt handle it, they would find a way to make us happy. Im certainly glad our husbands werent with us but we mothers can be very flexible. We have no complaints but next time might say no to the front row. BTW when did we start using assigned seating?

Nicest movie theater I have ever been to! Their luxary loungers are super comfy as they are nice leather recliners that give you plenty of room. You dont have to squeeze past people to find your seat because of all the room there is. And they still have normal ticket prices! Plus, if you get their refillable popcorn bin and refillable cup of only costs $4 to refill each, which is an incredible price (for a movie theater)!

Not a bad place to see a movie at all! The only thing that could have really used improvement was the popcorn, it tasted as if it had been sitting there for a few hours, on a slow Sunday.

This theater has reclining seats in every auditorium. It has has some D-box seating. Theater is very clean and has two food lines which makes the lines move fast and has enough room that you can pass people if they stop and are getting something else.

Very nice theater. Plenty of room between rows, was not dirty and the temperature inside was just right. We didnt feel like we were in a icebox. The staff was friendly except when I told one of the concessions personnel that the ice tea machine was pouring only water, no matter which one was chosen, he shrugged his shoulders and said it was a bummer and not his job to fix it Well in my opinion, if youre running a register at concessions, buddy it is your job to notify someone it is not working properly.

There is no handicap accessability.. Entering the heavy doors with a wheel chair is impossible.. Bathrooms are horribly small to manuver and sinks are too high. Popcorn is too high for staff to hand me my popcorn. Dispensers are to high for soda... No consideration at all for handicap individuals.. ticket counter as well is to high and position of movie display is too high... I called corporate to ask for help. Never got a call back... extremely disappointed..

The first movie I remember that i saw in that theater was Pulp Fiction when it came out in 1994. Great classic I watch at least once a year. I thnk Rio 24 was built just before that year. It was a drive through at one time and then that happened.

Great visit and experience. Enjoyed the many options of snacks with quick service. Comfortable seats with great picture and sound. To be honest, we did have an unfortunate situation here. However, the manager was quick to be found and adress the situation. It was handled very professionally. I would have rated this place five stars, but the bathrooms were definitely not being cleaned.Use the bathroom before you go and youll have a great and fun visit!

Belated Mothers day present from my Son, to see the Avengers. Awesome movie, Quick service at the box office, no lines. Concession prices were pricey for a family. Seats were very comfortable. I liked that reclined and I could feel the vibration from the movie. Restrooms were clean but in the front lobby it wasnt easy for handicap accessible to the ladies restroom. Overall I will return.

Review №46

By far my favorite theater in town. All seats a recliners and that is nice and all seats are purchased by reservation (at the window or online) so you know at time of purchase if your seats are to your liking. The only issue with this process is that you sort of need to know in advance if you are going to the movie - especially the popular or new releases. There might not be a line at the ticket window but the theater could be sold out online. Just get the Cinemark app and pick your seats ahead of time. Enjoy!

Review №47

Before living in Albuquerque, there were times where I would schedule a day to just to come down and visit this movie theater. What can I honestly say about it? This cineplex is absolutely massive; hands down the largest in the State of New Mexico. Boasting 24 screens and encompassing I dont even know how many acres of property. Rio 24 is truly the premier place to watch any new blockbuster release.Some things I like about this theater include: wide-open parking space, economic ticket prices, an easy DIY concession stand, and relaxing leather reclining chairs. In addition, employees have always been friendly to me during my many visits and despite the age of the facility, its still very well kept and clean.Its also important to keep in mind as I have over the years. That if there is any type of new mega-blockbuster movie that is jam-packing theaters and proving difficult to acquire tickets for. You can usually count on Rio 24 on having some type of availability for you, even on opening weekends. Having such a multitude of screens comes in handy; which can result in some films being featured nearly every 45 minutes (new releases).The City of Albuquerque is fortunate to the Century Rio 24 Movie Plex. It provides its residents with a reliable and consistent place to enjoy a movie. A place I hope is able to maintain its current standard as I wish it to remain open for a long time to come.

This theatre is ok. The snack area is always very sticky and not as clean as I would like. The bathrooms are old and the locks don’t work on many of the stalls. However, the actual theatres are nice as they have been updated and it is one of the few places in town that offers reserved reclining seats.

We took my mother here who is wheelchair bound. We usually go to Icon Cinema, but we thought wed try here. At Icon, there are ramps all the way up and down the rows that allow her to get to her seat and transfer from her wheelchair easily, so we didnt think about it when we asked for seats towards the middle. When we got into the theater, we noticed there were only stairs to our seats (which I will also mention that the cashier didnt warn us while we were picking these spots though he could obviously see the wheelchair). The only options my mother could reach was there very first row, which is incredibly uncomfortable, or the second row (the handicap row) which had one seat, two spaces for wheelchairs, and one more seat. There was no way our family could sit together. My mother ended up sitting alone in the second row. The entire experience was humiliating, isolating, and frustrating for her. Bare minimum compliance of accessibility doesnt fit well with the comfort theme they try to portray. We wont be able to bring her to movies if we go here, so well be taking her back to Icon in the future.

I had not been to this complex in several years. They installed recliners and it was quite comfortable. You will need to buy seats ahead of time in order to sit where you want unless the movie has been out a couple of weeks or more.complex is very neat and clean. Staff is also very good. You can enjoy here very well. A good time with family and friends. You can enjoy here

Review №71

With some newer, fancier movie theaters in town, Century Rio has had to step up their game. With reclining, leather seats the size of an expensive la--z-boy the days of fighting over a shared armrest and being kicked in the back by the person behind you are long gone. They have also implemented pre-selecting your seat when you buy your ticket, so the days of hoping you dont get stuck in a bad seat have also give by the wayside. While still not a fan of the prices and concession scenario, if youre looking for a nice place to see a movie, stop on in.

Its a great environment, definitely feels like the one place to be for the sake of movies. I only gave it 4 stars cause I believe the customer service of certain employees need to match others, cause you can meet one guy who is just not wanting to be there and one who sets you at ease.

All seating is assigned. That means when you buy a ticket, it is for a specific seat in the theater. This was new to me as far as movies go. The seats were recliners. That was comfortable.

Rio 24 is a great theater! These people really do work hard to help us enjoy our movie experiences. We should all remember to say thank you to these young people.If you have never worked at a movie theater, especially if your a young adult, I would suggest it. I did so temporarily before moving to New Mexico. It was lots of fun.I hope to attend one of the special film themes like the Studio Ghibli films. Try one yourself and post your experience.
