This movie theater has all recipe for a great movie and experience.Recently was here for a special showing and was really nice to see that they really take their decorations and lighting seriously. I loved the murals on the wall and the whole vibe was on point.I do like that they have wine if you want. However was a tad high and a pretty small pour. Not a game changer just a note.The movie theatre itself was amazing and loved the reclining seats. Very conformable and good experience.With all the positive why the four stars. Well only thing was the service. Not bad just felt like they did not want to be there and no real acknowledgement or friendliness.I definitely like the direction and the theater and will be back.
The theaters each have a section of reclining chairs. The legs and upper torso can be independently positioned and are quite comfortable.The seating is reserved. Tickets may be purchased online or on location using a real time seating map. Thus one knows exactly where one and friends are sitting for the movie in advance of arriving.Pricing varies according to time of day, type of movie, and discount category. Beer, coffee, tea and edibles other than popcorn and candy are available.There is a parking garage across the street.
Nice atmosphere but the elevator was down and my father in law had to use the stairs after surgery there were no signs to tell if it was out of order or not it was just never opening. Everything else was good
So back when they redid the movie theaters put in all the new stadium seating, this place is really nice but since then Ive kind of let this place go. They dont clean it very well I dont keep a very well and generally it just seems like the staff doesnt care. They could do much better if they tried.
As a soldier I am all the time on the go. Its great to relax a little. Wow this was quite the movie theater experience. The seats are outstanding. Definitely will be coming back here :)
I very much enjoy watching movies here. The location is great, the selection is very good with some indie films making appearances. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would like to be able to see more movie events here, i.e. premieres, theme nights, movie marathons, special guests.
These are the best seats that I have ever seen in a movie theater. The screen was huge, the popcorn was fresh, and the theater was clean. The sound system wasnt a perfect 10/10, but everything else was. Great little theater.
Really comfy reclining chairs. Alright ticket prices. Reasonable popcorn prices. What more do you want from a movie theater?
Great big comfy seats! Love the menu options inside the theater too! Not always the best service. Lots of screens so lots of options most of the time...
Nice lounge chairs with cupholders. Good soda dispenser and as many refills as you want. This place is dope!
Very large, comfy seating. Makes me wish that airlines would have the same philosophy about giving people more space.
This theater is fairly popular and in a very convenient location. It is right across the street from a parking garage so getting there is easy. Consider buying your tickets online from their website, especially for new releases, because the theaters often sell out the day before. The chairs are comfortable and roomy, making the overall experience quite pleasant.
Really comfortable so you can relax and focus on the movie.
Its a pretty small theater, quite nice though. They have reserved seating and each seat is a leather recliner.One of the backs of the seat broke with one of our people in it. The staff came out and fixed it immediately. Nobody got hurt, but I cant imagine that happening to a small child or an elderly person. Someone really couldve gotten hurt!! The seat was directly next to the handicapped spot. Thankfully nobody in our party was injured. But next time someone might not be so lucky. This is why i I gave this theater 2 stars.The seating is nice. The staff is very friendly. The popcorn is good. There was no other issues with this theater.
Reclining seats!!! Bring in your own food too. Yeeyuh
Really like this place. Movies in SLO are really enjoyable and fun with friends because of the cleanliness, attention, and care the employees pay to keeping the theatre in tip top shape. Go here.
So glad they were showing the movie Unplanned which by the way didnt get any advertising by mainstream networks like most movies do. This is such an important movie to see. It will definitely cause you to ponder and ask more questions. I highly recommended going to see it no matter which side of the issue youre on.
Pick and pay for your own seat. No rush to save a spot. Electric recliners. Adult beverages. What more could you ask for?
This place is the best. Being a regular here for my movie fix, it is really a great theatre. The location is great and they DO ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD. Will go get some local food and head down for our movie and it is great. The popcorn here is great and they have a serve-yourself butter machine. They feature the fancy Coca Cola soda machines. The seats are super comfy, especially the first few rows that have the recliners. The seats are numbered so make sure youre in the right one so you dont upset anyone. Sound is great as well. Bring a blanket as the theaters do get chilly sometimes.
They have Recliners, Adult beverages, and some great snacks. These guys keep this place very clean. Its hands down the best theater Ive ever attended. Cant wait to watch avengers here!
Ability to pre-purchase tickets for specific recliner seats is key! Good selection of local beer and wine. Average popcorn. The rest of the food is mediocre at best. Often having a freezer taste, especially the pretzels. Happy to report counter in the ladies room has finally been replaced.
It is nice to pick the seats ahead of time, but the theater can be cold.
Definitely the best cinema in town and surroundings recliner seats good sound system and lot of room between the rows.The Price is the only downside, tickets are on the costly side but drinks and popcorn as well as other food is insanely expensive
This theater has great prices for their movies, and I love that you are able to bring in outside food and drinks of your choice. Also, their popcorn, sodas, and snacks arent expensive either. Either way you are going to enjoy your movie experience for a very reasonable price.
Ive been coming to downtown Cinemas for as long as I can remember I always a great experience
Good selection of the newest movies, a wide variety of showtimes, and comfortable seating. I would recommend buying tickets online ahead of time in order to get your pick of seating, especially with the first few rows of reclining chairs!
Most comfortable reclining theater seats I have ever experienced. Tip: Seats are reserved. Dont wait until the last few minutes before a show starts and expect to get decent seats. Best bet is to purchase tickets online before you go to insure a good seat.
Very clean.... love going to this place with families and friends. Very comfortable chairs (recliner) my kids loves it.
Very poor sound quality. Its difficult to understand dialogue (sounds monotone). Action scenes from a neighboring theater can be heard through the walls. Im in my early 30s with no history of hearing problems, so I shouldnt have to strain to understand what people are saying on screen.
Love their new reclining seats and the movie was fantastic I enjoyed it with my sister that I hadnt seen in a while
The seats are SO comfortable! One of my most enjoyable movie views to date!
Love the chairs enjoyed a beer with my movie will definitely go again
Advance purchase tickets. Reclining wide seats. Friendly staff.
Our favorite cinema! Even though we live in Santa Maria, we make the trip up to SLO to see upcoming movies here! The staff is always friendly and professional, as are the fellow movie-goers, and its so AMAZING that they let you bring in your own food and drinks - so we bring In-N-Out and Taco Bell!
Had some time to kill and popped in on a whim for a random film. Was pleasantly surprised by the most comfortable movie seats Ive ever experienced. Large cushy electronically-powered recliners are very hard to beat, and even if theres nothing good playing Id gladly pay full price for a ticket just to take a comfortable nap for 2 hoursOnly reason that I took off a star is that I paid a silly amount of money for a can of beer that was undoubtedly past its best-by date.
Really cool recliner seats. And, theyll let you bring in food from surrounding businesses, like Starbucks, CPK, or Chronic Tacos. Yummy
Theater was really nice. Seats were incredibly comfortable.
Lots of screens and comfy recliners... located near lots of great, fast food options too
I loved my moms cooking it was spaghetti
Good clean I wish they would offer unlimited popcorn but they do off free refills on soda.
Reclining seats replicate the comfort of watching a movie at home. I guess. I dont have a recliner. Good popcorn and various snacks. Very clean.
Great location and always has new movies. The recliners are comfy. Expensive though
Love the reclining seats! Its best to make sure you order your tickets ahead of time and pick your seats. My son and husband went to a movie that was packed so they had to sit in the front row. It turned out to be just fine seeing as they could recline their chairs all the way back--hope no head cranking needed. The popcorn is a total rip off unless you get the bigger sizes- small is 5 bucks for like two handfuls of popcorn-so silly. I made this mistake and then asked if I could upgrade to the medium and pay the difference, they were very accommodating which was cool.
Easy chairs you can stretch your legs out in, so comfy!
Lovely reclining chairs and yummy popcorn! I cant wait to go back!
The perfect place for a first date, night out or just a nice family night. With comfortable seats, wide isles and most of the rows containing reclining chairs... Its a great experience. Decent wine selection and ability to salt and butter your own popcorn is a nice addition as well. Not to mention you can reserve your seating through their website or app (which takes you to their mobile website), so you dont need to worry about getting there an hour early for a good/new movie.
We love the recliners. A bit more, but worth the comfort. Oh yeah, and a cold beer while watching my kids’ movies makes it even better.
Decent price. Reserved seats. Huge screens with an unobstructed view and great sound.
The seats are awesome! Reclining and wide. Makes for a much more comfortable experience. Only reason its not a five star review is because they sometimes dont have all the newest movies and most of the time the movies dont start until mud afternoon (I try to see movies while my kids are in school).
Very comfortable recliners for the front 4 rows or so, kind staff and plenty of movie options. Wish it was cheaper but you wont find a much better deal anywhere else these days. Did I mention they allow you to bring in whatever food and drink youd like?
Great picture, sound, and crowd. Picking your seat prior saves time and eases the moving going experience.
Great seats, tons of room for any size person. Im one of those bigger folk so I understand how important movie theater comfort is.
Personally I love this theatre... The seats and concessions are great.
Watch movies from full, cushy recliners!!
Best place allow you to bring any snacks with you
This place is fantastic! Employees all seem to like working there. The seats in the theatres are super comfortable! We always plan ahead so we can use the recliners! Perfect for a date night or for taking your family to a show! Going there really makes the movie experience a better one!
Too expensive, very easy to sneak in hahaha shhh
Good place to watch movies, prices are what you expect, service is good, not quite the normal stadium setting in normal theatres, but still can watch the movie, some seats are recliners, the rest are plenty comfortable, usually not too busy, but definitely will depend on the movie, most parking nearby will cost you money before 6pm, but after 6pm parking in downtown SLO is free
I really enjoy the assigned seating and ability to bring outside food in. The chairs recline nicely with plenty of room, and everything is well maintained.
I was in town over Thanksgiving weekend and believe it or not, saw 3 movies here in 3 days. The ticket prices were way cheaper than mega cinemas I usually go to back home. The food choices were awesome. I think I saw some one with beer. Popcorn was fresh. And the bathrooms were clean. Cant ask for more than that.
Theyve definitely improved this place a lot. The new seating is great, even if you cant get a recliner the rockers are nice. Theyve added wine and beer. Its pricey, but still nice to have. They have a few more food options like pretzels (which I love) hopefully theyll add some more food soon. Id recommend buying your tickets online especially for a newer movie. Its convenient and the good seats fill up early.
Very nice theatre. Comfy seats.
Nice staff, nice movie selection. They have seats that recline to specific angles like a lazy boy which is cool.
This is my girlfriends favorite theater to go now that they have nice recliners. They serve food wine and beer and of course all the yummy candies & Ice Cream. At a great price. Restrooms are always clean. And All Digital. Great place to watch a movie
Its a nice place to go watch movies. It doesnt have all the movies but the selection is nice. I love the seats!
Prices are actually not too bad. 1050 for a matinee with inclining seats. Regular is 1350. Movies are expensive now a days anyways. It was comfortable.
Snack bar prices are very high but theaters and restrooms are good.
Best recling seats ever. Nice screens. Favorite theater!
Comfortable seating and great service
Comfortable, dolby, no blocked views!
We love this theatre the reclining chairs are a huge comfort. Getting use to ordering tickets online ahead of time took some getting used to. Totally worth it, you can reserve the exact seat you want.
The theater is very accessible and parking is just across the street. They have a lot of show times throughout the day so its easy to catch a movie at any time. The only downside is with the new recliner chairs you really have to order tickets from their website ahead of time since movie showings will fill up quickly.
Great screen size and wonderful chairs.
Good selection of new movies and they have classic movie nights which is really awesome.
This theatre is amazing. I can buy my tickets online (I have lived out of the country for a while but last I checked that still isn’t super common) and the seats recline. Definitely will see another movie here. Popcorn seemed a bit expensive but it smelled delicious.
Love the recliner seats.and seat reservation. Also cant beat the bucket popcorn with a free refill!!
Snacks are somewhat overpriced but it is easy to find parking at most times and the seats are very comfortable.
Always a pleasant experience I just wish they had a mobile app for their rewards program ;(
Great seating. Reserve online.
Great location, great seats, great concession
Went there today to see, what a man wants hilarious movie & the seats were nice & comfortable & reclined back ..So comfortable I found myself doze off for a split second..OMG
First the plus: amazing reclining seats, clean theater and restrooms.The minus: screens are smaller than the typical theater, sound system is loud, but nothing spectacular. Theaters dont seat as many because of the large recliners.GET YOUR TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME, SEATS ARE RESERVED.
Best seats ever! And they serve beer and wine!
This is our favorite theater right now. The lay down recliners are amazing. Book early because they sell out. You can get beer or wine and take it into any theater. I also love the soda machine with like 200 possible combinations.
Recently renovated to include electrically controlled, reclining seats in most auditoriums. Friendly staff, clean theaters, quality snacks.
Favorite theater. Love the reclining seats!
My family had secured tickets to the 40th anniversary viewing of Grease. The entire audience was charged up and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The seats were incredible! The location is perfect for Anytime of day or night. Theres parking close by. We actually went after having dinner downtown and strolled through Barnes & Noble while we waited for the movie to begin. The only downside was the concession stand. Its clearly outdated and didnt even provide us with fresh popcorn. Popcorn had been popped much earlier than the movie which gave it a stale taste. Also, you had to go to another location to and butter sort of butter flavoring. Not much selection for candy or drinks. Still, well go again.
A nice theater with some recliner seating. Seats can be reserved ahead of time. They serve some local wine and beer. The food choices are pretty standard popcorn, soda, hotdogs, and candy.
Its a fairly decent theater. They serve beer and wine here, so thats pretty cool. Tickets are more expensive now, but they upgraded all of their seats to these new, super awesome, leather ones that are way comfy and much better than the traditional fold up theater seat. Its pretty much the only theater in SLO that youll be able to see new releases at, so its generally fairly crowded when theres something new out.Good experiences here overall.
Awesome theater with the addition of the lazy boy recliners.
AWSOME place to get popcorn hot dogs drinks and AWSOME movies
Ive never heard of a theater canceling a scheduled showtime. Google listings hadnt updated. I came all the way down here for nothing. They must be struggling financially to have to do that. Its no wonder the kids in this town are so bored they go up to Prefuma Canyon on a Saturday night to sit on a rock. Cultivating idle hands to funnel people into debt servitude for college or overpriced unsustainable business, or straight to prison down the road past the college, or both. SLO town really is slow.
A treat away from your home theatre. Comfy & modern, but does boast the usual good buttered Popcorn. The seats are comfortable. Cinemas are no longer cheap, but it is still fun for a change.
They have great recliner chairs and you pick/reserve your seats when you buy tickets.
Recliner seats are awesome ! spacious and comfortable, you cant go back to a normal seat after that experience. Reserve seating you can reserve your seat online or at the cinema it beats making a line to see a movie now. Concession stand prices are whats to be expected but not as much other theaters.
