I had a good experience with the new safety protocols in place. Soon as you walk in they made sure you knew their cleaning procedures and Ill admit it was comforting. Big plus for the wipes available to you to wipe your own seats before seating. Naturally I focused on the high touch points on the seats (buttons, cup holder etc). So why the 3 star?? Customer service.The young lady behind the popcorn seemed bothered when I asked for help at the bar, gave a subtle attitude that I picked up quick on when I simply wanted a frozen margarita to bring to my movie. Plus she had earpods on, never understood why employers allow that, very unprofessional. Only other thing I noticed is no one is in place to verify your tickets which made me wonder if people are just walking in. Not a good practice if social distancing is important to the theater. Other than that still a good experience though. These are little things that can be fixed, Ill still go back and likely give 5 star once addressed. The frozen margarita was good by the way, go with the tequila mix not bicardi

The lesser people in the theater is accurate. However the patrons in attendance were not wearing mask during the movie and no staff checked on this during the course of the movie. They did wear mask to get in. People were sitting in front, three seats over on both sides and behind me.

Good price to have the theater to yourself but there were no workers around enforcing masks or that anyone went to the right theater.

Place was clean and empty. Really enjoyed being able to rent out a theater for friends and family. Wish there had been more food options and better directions for where to go (where lines start and for what).

Love the stadium seating. Seats are big and comfortable!!! Although the Concession stand is pricey. It’s still a great place to go watch a movie

A childhood classic movie theater. Was there when it was rave cinemas as and when it was just north haven cinemas. Sometimes can smell like feet and popcorn but it’s all for the nostalgia. Fresh popcorn, cold drinks and they even serve bar drinks.

Great place, nice and big. Went there on a date and I was surprised how clean it was. The double love seats are a great addition. Can sit next to your date and not have that arm rest in the way. Very positive experience

Cinemark is the best cinema hands down. Tickets are a little pricy, but you pay for what you get. I love the fact that they sell assigned seats, and you choose them when you purchase the ticket. Its easy to but from home, at the customer service counter, or even the self-service machines inside the cinema.Unlike most cinemas, there are the proper number of employees to help with all your food and drink needs. Theyre spread out at the main counters and a fee off to the side. Perfect for anyone in a rush.Large leather seats recline to your comfort level. Theater is clean and without odor. Definitely recommend to all to visit and have your own great experience.

First time at the North Haven Cinemark. We went and saw Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker in XD.Movie theater was great and I highly recommend although I havent been to any other theaters in the area to compare.Walking in everything seemed clean and organized. Being my first time the process of getting food (had bought tickets online) wasnt 100% intuitive. We walked to the first counter but that was only for drinks, you had to walk around the side to get snacks and theater good. I will say I dont think Ive been to a theater with so many food and drink options!The XD theater was great, sat in row E and the view was perfect! Sound and video quality were on point!Only complaint I have is the aisle lights splashed up onto the bottom right and left corners of the screen. On dark.scenes it washed out the corners with the bright red light.Overall a great expert and if I lived in the area I would definitely go back!

Wonderful place. Very comfortable seat. Although the concession check out lane can be long it doesn’t seem that bad compared to some places. Plenty of parking and well lit parking lot. Police officers on duty for safety and it’s a very public place.

Review №22

Went to see an older movie so the theatre was mostly empty (fine with me!). No problem getting tickets or picking seats. Went to get refreshments and out of four people only one realized we were even there. At the checkout, the guy keeps checking his phone and talking to a co-worker. Not exactly welcoming, but he did get his job done. Overall, loved the movie!

The theater has the most comfortable seating ever! Everyone has their own recliner! Dont think I could ever go anywhere else. Just dont fall asleep and miss the movie.

Review №25

The movie theater is clean and cozy with recliner seats. The selection of snacks and food are great. The air quality needs to be controlled. The temps were in the teens outside, and the theater was extremely cool with A/C turned up. Not ideal to watch a movie with a winter coat and gloves on.

Best theatre around, always clean! Great selection for concessions and drinks! Although it’s a bit of a drive away from where I live I’d much rather make the drive! Screens are large, very clear and sound quality is amazing! Seating has reclining option and is very comfortable! Highly recommend giving this theatre a try if you have never been!

Nothing to complain about this place. Place is fairly cleaned for a movie theatre, seats are super comfy and never had an issue with anyone. Its in a good area and afterwards you hit one of the many places to eat on universal drive in North haven.

Review №39

Theaters are sometimes good and sometimes garbage this one falls in the middle. The tickets are so overpriced and so is the food. Also the sound system in the theater is kind of trash. I recommend that you go to holiday cinemas 14 in walingford because it cheaper and the sound system is better. Also both have reclining seats. Also there is assigned seating which make this place trash even.

Great place! Relatively clean, good online ticketing system, comfy seats. Food is pretty expensive, but where isnt it? Plus, the monthly movie club is a total steal if you go a lot like I do.

Review №41

My preferred theater but to be brutally honest, the staff needs to up their game. Ive yet to meet an unfriendly employee, but they often run out of Coke Zero in the soda machine, the concession area can be a total mess and I literally just left a recliner minutes ago that the head rest on was scratched beyond recognition. Add to that my wifes recliner next to it didnt work. The place is falling apart, despite being newly remodeled only a few years ago. Upkeep really needs to be taken seriously. All in all, however, its still a safe bet for an enjoyable movie going experience.

Review №43

Hands down my favorite place to watch movies. I have a couple theaters closer to my house, including one that I can get free passes to. I still choose to only go here. The snack line has a nice flow to it that never feels slow or crowded. The seats in the theater are so plush and they recline so far back that you might fall into the sleep realm. Luckily I get so loaded up on sugar from snacks that it never happened.

This theatre has a full menu, reclining seats, and even sells pizza. The line was a little long but that’s to be expected, and fortunately the concessions were priced at the usual level for other theatres, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten popcorn. Good service and clean facilities! Good experience.

We are cinemark club members, so everything is nice and streamlined. Scan out phone at checkout for discount. And once more for tickets...seating is pretty comfortable. XD is definitely a great addition to their screens. The quality is great.

Review №48

This place its actually pretty nice very clean and much to offer. I went to see the Joker I dont go to the movies often but there are some improvements that should be made thats why the three stars first I would say if you have movies playing and there are customers there someone should be able to buy a drink for popcorn we caught the latest showing forgot what time but shortly after the movie it again I wanted something from there high-priced Refreshments stand and it was all closed up.And second the assigned seating is a little ridiculous I can understand something like that for new blockbuster movies that are typically sold out in the beginning.this was not the case I saw it in what was the second to last week, the theater wasnt even half way full but we had to sit in our assigned seats, felt like I was back in grammer school.

Review №52

Well, it may be just me but my attempt at signing up to order tickets through Cinemark was a waste of time. I was asked, at different points in the process, for the exact same information. At the end, finally, I was refused. Since I have a meticulous credit record the only reason I can think of is that I gave my business telephone number rather than my home number, associated with the card. But their data base, if it saves all inputted information, now has all my information. So, we plan to go to another theater rather than go through the registration process again.Am I the only one who had trouble with this?

My favorite theater. I live in New Haven, but I always prefer to drive out here for the much higher quality screens and seats. If youre a college student you get a nice discount any day of the week, AND theres a Chic-Fil-a right outside the theater.

Its like all movie theaters. Nothing special about it. It is clean, which is nice but there is a lack of security in the building with few workers visible. After the first showing, the theater needs to be better cleaned. Bathrooms need to be cleaned more often.

If youre going to have a bag policy (which is perfectly ok) train your staff to enforce it properly so I dont get refused service on my third visit in a week after I have taken the same bag in twice already.I was looking forward to some time to catch a movie on my own. Thanks for ruining my day.

Review №81

I always enjoy coming to this theater, the seats are compfy and the selection at concessions is fantastic! Ive never had any cleanliness problems with the theaters, seats, or even bathrooms. The only negative feedback I have is that the temperature in the theaters is always on the warmer side (in winter and summer) so I do find myself a little uncomfortable during long movies, or if I am coming directly from work with a dress shirt and slacks.

Review №88

So so. Seats are nice but we went to a Fandango event showing a classic film with discussion about film facts and points of interest at the beginning and end. This is one of the main reasons that film aficionados attend these events that they could otherwise see at home on a streaming service. Last night some of the beginning discussion was missed due to audio issues - a couple of people had to go out and find someone to let them know - and then the ending discussion was cut off partway through - the end. Literally mid- word. Extremely disappointing. Also, the audio was not tracked precisely against the video through much of it which is annoying to watch. I would suggest they maintain/test their projection systems more thoroughly.

Review №93

I like this place only because they show the Met Operas in HD. Ive never watched a movie here. The concession stand is clean and well stocked, I think I paid $5+ for a hot dog which being the Angus Beef dog was decent. And I once had a great big bag of popcorn which was also very good. They also sell ice cream treats. Like all these places though the food is not cheap.Now on to the interior. Being a small person (52) those much vaunted, big plush adjustable seats they advertise so heavily, are extremely uncomfortable for me. No matter how I sit in them. Last time I rolled up my winter jacket and put it behind the small of my back so I was able to sit through a five and a half hour performance without ending up with leg cramps, an aching back and aching joints. So if you too are a small person Id advise you to bring a firm pillow for your back so you dont need the headrest which sits right on top of your head if youre not careful. However, if you are a large person, Im sure those seats could be very comfortable.

Only 1 register open at the concessions, popcorn and soda covered the floor and counters.Seats were filthy had to be wiped down before we could sit. Theater was filthy, floor was dirty.
