A sad cinema theatre, its a shame Consolidated Theatres tore down all of its grand old buildings. I wonder what will happen when no more malls exist, where will they be then? This location Smelled musty / mold the last time I went. We will see how the renovations go.

CLOSED UNTIL SPRING 2020

Tiny seats, uncomfortable. But more importantly, theater smelled like stinky feet mixed with old cheese. It was torturing, it was hard to enjoy the movie when I had to gag every 5 minutes. The air in there also felt moist and moldy. No thank you :(

Great customer service.. always good seats available... get their frequent user card!

Clean, no stadium seating. Seats were wide and comfy

Small theater compared to Ward or Dole but it is very mellow and hardly crowded even on weekends so you can watch movies in a leisurely way. Seats and floor are much cleaner than Ward. Only thing is movies go out faster than the bigger theaters so dont expect movies to stay screening very long here.

Look I am simple and this place is too. I do not need the fancy chairs and huge crowds. Popcorn is fresh and trust me I know. I used to work at a movie theater.

Get 2 tickets & see 2 movies. Hint: childrens size $7 small drink, popcorn, candy. You can add big hot dog with pump mustard & all the relish u want for a few dollars more.

Seems to never be that busy. Good service. A little outdated, but ok.

A great place to take in a movie with some great food choices outside the theater.

We went to see Incredibles 2 on a fluke. Nice to see the same format of theatre as always. We compared it against a typical experience in Australia. The hot dogs at the stand were delicious. You can still add butter to your popcorn. There are a large selection of different candy bars. The one section that needs to be improved is the theatre. The seats are standard from probably the 1980s. Now, it is more common to have stadium style seating to make it easier to see the screen regardless of where you sit. The theatre itself was not that large either. Still enjoyed the movie. Seems odd that they have not upgraded yet.

Giant hot dogs with real relish and mustard not in tiny packets. Self-serve sodas.Glug glug.Childrens pack comes with soda, popcorn, candy. Upgrade with a hotdog. Nom nom.Pay and see 2 movies.

Ever since I was growing up and heard stories of hauntings in this theater, to find out that its no secret that the former Waialae Drive-In theater, once adjacent to the cemetery across from Kahala Mall, was infamous for its spirits. From highschool days I have heard from friends that worked there believed that the eight plex Kahala Theatre at the mall is haunted as well. The rumor is that if you go in to theatre 6 and walk toward the front; you may see a woman seated well after the movie has ended, and if you were to tap her shoulder and ask her to leave, she would turn toward you to reveal that she has no face.Also theatre 6, by the way, is one of the theaters that was flooded out in 2006 during the torrential downpour.

Although this is an older theatre in the Consolidated Theatres family, we like going here because it is smaller and they treat you like family.

Real comfortable theater with easy parking and lots of options. Its more cozy than most other theaters.

Thank goodness for Kahala Theater! A balance between international films played at Art Acad and mainstream films played in so many other theaters. This place is a special, kamaaina tradition... its nice to have an old-fashioned smaller theatre - makes my mom happy and very familiar and comfortable. The selection of films and friendly staff (often young people from nearby neighborhoods) make it a delight!

Better than Consolidated Ward 16 I would say lol

I had a terrible time. Workers kicked me out of theatre in the middle of movie. I was offered refund except they still took service charge. Very disappointed, this is not a professional establishment. I now go out of my way to avoid this theatre.

Casual, easy going theater with fun and good-hearted staff.

Good seat, prices for popcorn too high

Great theatre for independent and. Cultural kine films. Concessions need more variety and they need to modernize and put in stadium seating. Theatre seating is from yesteryear and they should update them at the high price they charge for admission. Koko Head theatre much better but they dont show independent films.

Old school theatre... Brings back memories of high school days...

A spacious, medium-rent theater that offers the classical movie theater experience with modern touches like the choose-your-own-flavour Coca-cola machines and boxes to lay out your popcorn like a small trough. My wife and I saw some musical simulcast here, and I’d come back.

The convenience of shopping and watching a popular movie is always a good thing!!!

Was at the mall and decided to check times for the new Halloween movie on Halloween and they were not showing it which was kind of odd. A few weeks later I went online to see if they were showing the new JJ Abrams movie Overlord and that wasnt showing either. Does this theater not show horror movies?

Most all big city movie houses i visit on the mainland are WAY better than what were offered here by Consolidated and Regal. More elaborate. Better seats. Texas even offers theaters with alcoholic drinks and food served in regular seats. Many have all-reserved seating -- you pick a seat when you buy the ticket at the box office. Our theaters are very old-fashioned.

Very comfortable and watch a good movie.

Nice open theatres. Movies here are great. Saw movies here I couldnt see in most theatres

Always clean, always great customer service.

No crowds. Good for family and kid movies.

Love coming here on Tuesdays with reduced ticket and food prices. Not to busy, which is good because of no stadium seating with no tall people sitting in front of us.

Havent been here for awhile..seats were not the reclining ones; am so spoiled. But, otherwise it was an enjoyable afternoon!

On the small side compared to Ward Theater but Kahala offers a cool array of foreign films alongside the top blockbusters.

Expensive snacks and drinks like most other places. The staff are nice and patient. I still cant believe its around $4 for a drink.

Theatres are old and food is ridiculously expensive, regal blows consolidated out of the water. Especially the reward system is way better.

One of my least favorite theaters, because the middle aisles prevent obtaining a center of the screen seat

This sleepy Kahala Mall theatre is best (only) place in town to see Art or Indie films and for that we are extremely grateful. However, for any blockbuster or mainstream flick i’ll always go to a better theater. The theatres are small and the seats are old style, think 80’s. IT’S ALMOST ALWAYS FREEZING, bring your socks and sweatshirts!

This place is quaint and comfy, very close to home.Their theater is small and their screens smaller.If you want a full experience go somewhere else.But if you dont like crowds or people talking during the movies come here.The theaters here are pretty empty most of the times and they sometimes show indie films.Concessions are always an arm or a leg so you probably want to eat before you show up.

Like every other movie theater, it smells. Bathrooms arent too disgusting. Food is standard: overpriced and underflavored. But it was a mildly less expensive matinee with solid AC on a blazing hot day.

Generally friendly staff, decent bathrooms, and not usually as pricey and crowded as Ward Theatres. I tend to head here. There is a keiki snack box that is about $7, and includes a drink, popcorn, and a box of candy.

Love the pop corn with mochi crunch with butter

Great selection of films not available elsewhere in Hawaii.

Kinda old but still get the job done

Loved Mary Poppins returns it sticks to the storyline and songs are fresh and catchy

No recliners, seating isnt stepped nearly enough, but at least theres AC

Love the theater seating. Hate how expensive its become. Not the best customer service. The employees appear bored and unhappy.

I love going to this College solidated theater Tuesdays are always $6 for every seat no senior discount at that time doesnt need to be the movie theaters been renovated it has seats that you can sit in like a lounge chair with your feet up and its pretty cool to go inside there

Great service and awesome memories

Nice staff and comfy chairs

The place is old and needs a face lift ... the movie Peanut Butter Falcon, on the other hand, was nothing short of absolutely delightful!!

Its the only commercial theater in the area that regularly shows independent and thoughtful movies.

If you dont want a crowded theater like Ward, go here.They usually have a few movies that arent at Ward.

A great movie theatre with fantastic sound and 3D glasses available if needed. Great food is present as well.

We had a great time at our theme party. The staff helped us out tremendously.Thank you Kahala theaters for make my sons welcome home surprise party a great success .

Theater needs updating. The seats are un comfortable.

This theatre is fairly mediocre compared to others on the island. The screens and scenes are a bit outdated; however, they suffice. They offer refills on sodas so thats a plus. Another upside is they often play foreign films as well as indie films.

Decor is very old. Could use some upgrades.

Very dated needs renovation. Often volume is low and can get really cold.

Ample parking, clean, nice theaters. Known for their wide choice of small, independent and foreign films as well as the big, popular Hollywood fare.

Small, cute, nice. Classic theatre, nothing will surprise you here

I love going movies here....It has a touch of the olden days movie going experience ...for reals !! :-)

So limited on movies, unfortunately its the only theather on the island so they have no need to make it better. To bad for movie goers.

Older theater, they havent renovated it yet, but the do have $7 movies on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

A very comfortable theatre featuring many outstanding films of all genre. Easy parking, pleasant location in the Kahala Mall. Top gun!!

It is an old movie theater, yes, and the show the best movies in the island.Most interesting, cultural movies. So what that it is older theater. It is personal and people that work there are super friendly.

This theatre shows the best films in town.

Theatre they showed my movie was old style, aisle down the middle. No stadium seating. Need to look a little higner up to watch the movie and it begins to hurt your neck. However, the Staff was very friendly so that warranted the 3 stars.

My favorite place to see a movie, and lots of places to eat lunch afterwards

I really like that they bring in awesome art films that the bigger theaters dont bring in

Sometimes, it is a step back in time that fuels the fun of the future. Stop worrying about what isnt and enjoy the experience of a good, modern movie in a gentle step-back environment to the past.Life is not about one moment or the next but, rather, about gentle experiences that matters to old and young.

Smaller theatre and nothing fancy. They often bring in movies other than the usual blockbusters though. Ive seen them do Asian or film festival movies as specials. You have to dig a little to find the info though. Free parking at the mall. Staff is friendly.

The best feature of this theater is that the screens are never crowded. Employees are friendly enough. The cons are numerous:-Poor selection of food-Quality of popcorn is average-Seating sucks-Movie times are limited-Movies shown limited

Park on the 3rd floor of the mall just sayin

Kahala Consolidated was my neighborhood theater. We didnt have to go to Waikiki Plex or Cinarama (both had been shuttered) I heard about theater subscription are coming soon. All-you-can-watch for a monthly fee. That may bring me back to watch more movies than the past decade.

Small selection of movies but I always come here for the smaller budget artsy/intellectual type films. Small selection of snacks, small theaters. Clean bathrooms and a wheelchair lift.

Its old, it smells, theres always work that needs to be done, this place needs an overhaul, but the staff are great.

Art films not shown elsewhere. Great friendly staff.

Kahala theaters are nice, clean, old time theaters, playing art flicks, and not just the latest adrenaline rush movies. If youre jaded by the razzmatazz of the new ultra-theater 101-plexes around with all the bells and whistles, then go deal with it. If you want a good movie, with healthy food nearby, come to the Kahala theaters.

I had fun at the theaters...My friends and family laughed way too hard at the comedy movies. Jeez...but it was fun anyways

Never busy, lots of free parking and prices are good.

Every time Ive dropped something/lost in the movie theater its been found by one of the people that clean after a movie. One time I lost my wallet with cash in it. One of the people that clean turned it in to lost and found. Everything was in it even all my cash.

Uhh it has nice cups

Actual theatre is good. Everyone goes to the movies for an excuse to eat candy, which they have a good selection of. Yet it costs 3.50 for the smallest candy there. And its 6.50 for an icee. Go to longs and sneak stuff in.

I like the location but the place need a redo. I just walked into a theater and the old mildew smell is over whelming. Smells like sneakers you got wet and left in the closed car over the weekend.

As time goes on and technology advances, I feel that the Kahala Movie theater is falling behind. Ive stopped going to the Kahala Movie Theater because of its terrible viewing experience. The sound and visual aspect of each movie theater is a disappointment. The seats are very uncomfortable and just suck to sit and view a movie in. The Kahala movie theater needs to be renovated. Kahala is one of the nicest areas on Oahu, I think its movie theater should be too.

We like movies that are foreign, film festival spinoffs, & look for films not shown elsewhere in town....

Good selection of art movies, convenient parking, but prices are high in the evening and some screens are small. Used to smell bad, but they seem to have fixed that after getting flooded a few years ago.

For a ritzy area this theater leaves a lot to be desired. No stadium seating, and small screens.

Would like to be able to purchase tickets outside but everything else was great. Popcorn

If youre looking for an ultra modern movie theater, dont come here... But if youre looking for a place without lines, friendly people and a smaller screen this place is for you. (= lots of awesome places to eat before the movie...

A little smaller than most cinemas but still has 4 star rating service

So awesome I it

Great location and decent selection

They dont always have the movie you want to see, but its clean, quiet and not over crowded.

We love going to Kahala because small and familiar. Their seats are new, the theaters are clean. The only thing I really dislike is the smell of the bathroom. Yikes.

A good place to watch a movie and have a quiet discussion.

If you do not want the crowds normal theaters have. This place is great to just walk in and get pretty good seating in your movie.

It seems as though this is relegated to showing some top movies and art flix. I wish they would invest and renovate this theater as it is run down and not well maintained anymore. But it is a good alternative to the crowd at the ward location

Seats are outdated, but the theater is clean and easily accessible in Kahala Mall.

Along with whats showing in mainstream theaters, Kahala also shows important high quality films that dont get screened anywhere else. The movie schedule rotates rapidly so its important to stay on top of it, but well worth it. They show foreign and independent films that are sometimes absolute gems. In addition they have special event National Theater productions from London and New York (e.g., King Lear, Equus, War Horse, Hamlet).The theater itself is in Kahala Mall. Rooftop parking is usually fairly easy, in my experience. Theres an automatic ticket machine outside that shortens time spent on line. The individual theaters are adequate, almost always clean. The sound is usually ear-splittingly loud, so I recommend some form of dampening- earplugs or equivalent.
