This is a great Theater in a great location. This theater usually is the only full service theater in ABQ that shows documentary films. Never have been in a huge line at the concessions which is awesome. It is also located near an entertainment center that has great stuff for a variety the of ages. I also noted that the parking lot boats plenty of handicap parking as well as regular parking close to the door.

My favorite movie theatre in Albuquerque, full stop.Its not the newest theatre BUT it is one of two (The Guild being the other) that plays more offbeat films as well as foreign ones. All the attendants are very nice young people and I never have to go up front to ask that the volume be brought down to tolerable levels (looking at you, AMC South Valley). Concessions prices are reasonable-ish and (best of all) there are very few young people around, which means this theatre is probably doomed in the medium to long term - alrhough I sure hope not.Stay with us, High Ridge Movie Theatre!

High Ridge is one of Regals art house theaters. It has better movies than most of their theaters. Its in their $18/month Unlimited tier.

This is the worst Regal cinema Ive ever been to. Its completely out dated. The seats are broken so badly that im in physical pain from sitting through our movie. The movie was only playing here or I would have left. They havent even updated the sign outside? It still says United Artist Theater?? For the price of movies and concessions the owner of this place has got some nerve not even updating the seats?? The are terrible! Ill never come back here again.

Prices are lower than winrock and way less crowded. More of a indie flick place but they show the big movies like avengers and star wars. Would rate a 3 based on screen and seating. But i give 4 star for the fact they are not crowded and overpriced.

Quaint little theater that shows independent films. Feels nicer than a dollar theater, but not quite as nice as a bigger place. No reclining seats, but as long as youre cool with a clean minimalist smaller theater, youll have a great time!

This used to be my favorite theater until they got new chairs. The chairs are so uncomfortable for a tall person. I had to stand in the back during the movie. Also, leading up to the movie, there was audio in the theater, but no video...really strange. When we asked the manager about it, he shrugged and said the internet was not working correctly.

Hole in the wall theater with no perks whatsoever and a weird homey feel. Cheap service, expensive stale popcorn and folding chair seating.

Nice and compact modern and clean. Armrests lift for more room. Matinee prices and soda prices reasonable relative to other theaters.

I just like anybody else enjoy popcorn and a movie. Unfortunately I am totally blind. I have no provision whatsoever. I realized very strongly upon adaptive technology so that I may function throughout different aspects of my life. The movie theaters in Albuquerque, and this particular one is not exempt. Movie theaters in Albuquerque have a hard time keeping their Adaptive Technologies operational for the Blind and Visually Impaired. This particular place seems to have just as much trouble with it as any other. Being that I am a blind individual I have to request a small digital device it has headphones. This device will describe to me through narration what is happening on the screen. It is most unfortunate that I can only find out if this device is operating or not once the movie has started. Half the time it is not working, and I have to bug somebody to get up with me so that I may return to the customer window to address the matter. When I bring this problem to the attention of the boy / girl at the customer service desk this youth usually has an attitude. I am very cordial in my Approach, and I do try to take an ambassadorial approach in the beginning to all of my encounters. This youth behind the counter usually has an attitude because, I have probably interrupted their smoke break or something. By the time I finally get done dealing with the use at the desk, I get back to the movie to find I have lost out on 15, or 30 minutes of the movie. It would not be so frustrating if this was not such a regular occurrence in the movie theater. For the price that one pays to view a movie, and have some snacks with his movie everything should be working. It is bad enough that the place is kind of gross due to the fact that they do not do a thorough job of cleaning any part of the establishment. I would not mind that so much if my adaptive technology was working. After one case so much money one expects to be able to watch the movie without interruption. Blind, or sight impaired individuals should not be exempt from this. Keith who pays should be allowed to enjoy all that he is paying for... I apologize for any typos. My battery is about to die, and my speech-to-text technology is starting to poop out.

Good popcorn and good service. Excellent movie.

Review №16

Whats not to love?! The comfortable seating, the incredible audio, or the oversized popcorn machines with refillable options and limitless drinks?!. The aisles are wide and the management is quite strict on distractions so if there are disruptions, they will be addressed and monitored to make for a better experience. Also, they have throwback Sundays where they show era pictures or cult classics for discounted prices. Worth every penny! Great job. Come here, keep this place hoppin!

Small no frills semi-arthouse. Shows a lot of films you wont see in big box theaters, and plenty you will, without the big box crowds... I fux with it.

Great theater. One of the only theaters that get lesser known runs. Saw Hearts Beat Loud here. Look it up. Phenomenal film. The theater itself could use quieter air conditioning. I never hear it during a film, but I hear it in the silence before one. I prefer that to a hot theater though...

This used to be our favorite theater due to convenience and frequently went. Then it seemed they had fewer show times. We just went to see Avengers end Game as time snd location fit our schedule on Saturday afternoon. The theater was small but we very much enjoyed the experience. Staff was super friendly and helpful on 5/11 for 3 pm showing. My husband bought popcorn said it was nice and fresh unlike some other theaters. Now that it appears they ar2 showing current releases and convenient times we will go here more often

I love this theater because they show the movies that arent played anywhere else in town. There is something to be said about catching up on some independent films in a real theater! Its always clean, the staff is courteous, and the movie selection is always on point.

Nice multiplex theater, clean, free parking. In theater 6 there is something above the screen at the center which is dark and shiny causing an irritating reflection while watching the movie.

This theater is okay. Its pretty old and it shows in places like the lobby and bathrooms, but the actual theaters have been updated. The seats are like comfy large lounges. They also have nice wheelchair seating ramps. We didnt get food or drinks when we came so I cannot comment on that, but there were almost 30 minutes of previews, which seems outrageous. The last theater I went to had about 10 minutes of them.

I love the High Ridge and prefer to go there anytime I can. They have the best movies, and the theater is nice. The theater makes it possible to avoid the jam-packed stadium seating of the busier movie theaters, and as others have mentioned, it is almost empty during the weekday times. I always check here first to see whats showing, because they show only quality movies.

Review №48

This is a great movie theater. Smaller than all those super big ones. Never a long walk from your car. Parking right in front. Almost never crowded. They always show the more unusual films that arent a big draw at the big theaters. Updated new seats installed last year.This theater is by far my favorite movie theater : ) I highly recommend it.

I see movies at High Ridge more often than at any other theatre. Its not because its the closest theatre to my home. It isnt. Its because this theatre shows more foreign and independent movies that arent the typical Hollywood fare. They show the kind of movies I want to see.

Honestly its not a bad theatre. It really takes you back to your child hood days when theaters worn not super fancy looking. But they can show more family movies over law and art types of movies.

Nice cozy little small theatres (x8) for a good selection every week of recent and just released INDIE Films (that are not Film Noir)! They also have 3-5 currently released mainstream films that are NOT Indies to pick from for those live in the area. Also, the pricing is competitive at $7.77 per ticket.

While not the most up to date movie theater in the city, this is still a good option, especially when you are not wanting to deal with large crowds. The price is very reasonable for seeing a first run movie when compared to many other movie venues in the area.

A bit out of the way. Parking not that great. A little tricky to maneuver around with the way the driveway is designed. But fine once you get inside. More than once I have been there and there is no attendant at the outside ticket window. Went inside, and was told to just wait at the window.

This theater is NOT clean, no matter what anyone else says. The popcorn is very tough and full of hardkernels. Almost like if they steam it, and need a lesson in popping corn. The seats are low and old and stiff. The movies that are shownare wonderful. The staff is very friendly. If only the popcorn was good, theaters should be all about THE POPCORN.Trash popcorn.One time when I went a bunch of old old women were there in a groupgossiping through the whole movie and commenting constantly. Not good. AGAIN staff super friendly, they need to control their theater andLEARN TO MAKE POPCORN

My friend and I came to see a movie late at night on Saturday and expected the place to be a madhouse- as most theaters are on Saturday Nights. However, the place was very mellow and all of the employees were so nice to us. The popcorn was great and although the seats were nothing special, it was still a great night.

Review №88

I thought this was a venue showing second run films, with second run prices. In fact, it IS a second run venue in that it shows films that the first run theaters no longer show. However, they still charge first run prices on tickets and concessions. Lastly 3 out of their 4 drinking fountains are out of order. No me gusta.

Review №92

Just came here to see Ladybird at 7:30 and it was bad. Bad as in; the quality & cleanliness of the screen/theater.I actually used to work at Icon Cinema on Central as a morning janitor and I thought they were pretty bad with how much management would let slide. Although at least their screens are acceptable enough to see and touch.There was a squeaking coming from the top right corner of THEATER ONE that would die down and come back again. Overall quality and sound was horrible...I bring up cleanliness because I saw an employee who looked like a maintenance/tech guy take a leak in the bathroom, look at his phone and walk out. So you guys might wanna reinforce those washing of the hands rules? It is flu season, no?Anyway, I personally will not return again and spread the word if someone brings up this theater.

Clean and mostly empty during weekdays. Makes a great spot for a date if you can get a day off. Its nice having a theatre almost completely to yourselves.Seats are good quality and dont give me a back ache by the end like some of their competitors. Its not a huge imax, 3d, rumble seat type theatre but I like just a good old movie without the bells and whistles.
