Really is a nice upscale theater with an excellent variety of movies to choose from. Their seats are extraordinary comfortable and are inclined higher-than-normal allowing you to always have a good view of the movie.Tickets are a bit more expensive and there food and drink prices are outrageous but what the hell. You get what you pay for.Note: go online and reserve your ticket and seat ahead of time. Works like a charm

The Bow Tie Criterion is much better than Regal Cinemas. They feature more affordable food, and much more. I would recommend BTX if youre looking for a fun experience.

Very nice facility, comfortable seats with lots of leg room. We even got to choose our own seats during purchase of our tickets, so we knew we had good seats while getting our snacks. Bathrooms where open spaced and accessible. Staff where very friendly as well.

Went to see one movie and was told not playing and times had changed even though web sight had showed movie should have been been playing in real time.Changed plan and saw another movie.Theater was clean and quiet and everything else was as expected.This theater need to keep up with times and keep things current. Technology allows this with little effort...

The seats were comfortable. The employees are friendly. And Im am trying to convince myself that somehow it is justifiable for Bow Tie Criterion Cinemas, a purportedly family owned company, to charge $4.50 for a bottle of water because the hotel I recently stayed at in NYC charged $8.50 for the same size bottle....

We saw the Lion King here. A matinee show. Very nice Theater staff was friendly and attentive. The the theater was clean seats were clean very soft, roomy and reclined. Sound quality was GREAT. Only downfall is the prices at the concession stand were way too HIGH. I have a family of 6 and small popcorn was $7 per person. Im from Long Island so a large popcorn is $8 and you get free refills. Otherwise good experience.

Theatre style seating but chairs not adjustable. Staff was not very friendly. Didnt seem like they wanted to be there. They heavily promote lids for their large popcorn bucket. The next best thing in movie theater popcorn but they were out of them!!! Really!!??? Theatre and bathrooms were clean.

Only been to the one in Wilton before, which is nice, but think we like this one better. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating (leather type seats that recline back a bit). Usually Im fidgeting in my seat after 2 hours, but after watching a 3 hour movie, I was still very comfortable. Will definitely go there in future.

Extremely comfortable seats, and the theater experience is perfect. Sound quality is perfect, and the overall impact for any movie watched is amazing.

Review №17

Nice comfortable Cinema but during my last two seatings the feature movies sound volume seemed exceptionally low so sound clarity was an issue. During the highlights (pre-feature) the sound volume and clarity seemed normal and the problem with volume and clarity was only found during the feature. Something needs to be done to raise the volume so one can hear the actual speaking of the individuals and not so much of the surround background which I think over shadows the actual speaking.

In at 1130AM. Popcorn was wilted and flavorless. It was obviously yesterdays leftovers. Pretty disappointed in that. Viewed in Theatre 11. The projector is open to the lobby, so there was a light through the projector window (besides the movie) that illuminated much of the top of the theatre, with reflections of cars and people moving about on the ceiling. Very distracting. Otherwise, exceptionally clean, and the staff were pretty friendly.

Beautiful theater. Seats are comfortable, and I love the fact that you can reserve your seat online before the movie. Its nice to know when you walk in that you wont get stuck searching for a seat in an overcrowded theater. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is always our first choice of where to go when we go to the movies.

Fun experience with excellent seating.I truly loved being able to have a meal during my movie. The large order of like a soda or popcorn is ridiculous. Theyre ginormous. Its great for sharing.Saw mortal engines and the movie went by flawless with zero interruptions from anyone.

I went with my boyfriend to see angel has fallen, keep in mind I’ve seen the other movies in that series of movies, and it wasn’t gruesome or anything. My sister bought us the tickets because we’re 16, not 17. We get there to have the guy rip off the ticket and he says we can’t go see it because we’re 16 and don’t have an adult.

Very good theater. Remember that they have lots of previews and commercials before, so you have time.

Theatre was fine. Bathrooms could have been cleaner but what got me is that they allowed people to bring full size luggage into the cinema. No bags were being checked while I waited for my food. Unsure if the luggage was but to me that is a HUGE security issue.

Review №37

I like how clean the movie theater is. One thing negative I have to say is the concession stand. I had a free small drink and thinking they would take it off the total but they didn’t. He was trying to act surprise by saying the system refresh and now I see it. I checked before going to the movies tonight and I know I had a free small drink. They should start being honest with people about what points they have and what you can get. Instead of Lying.

I love this cinema! They show indie films that other theatres do not show. The seating is very comfortable and the sound system is amazing! Concessions are fresh and delicious. They also have a deal on admission every Tuesday.

Review №41

Its a movie theater, nothing more, nothing less. Took my grandson there to see the new Godzilla movie - which is aweful. I had been warned by my daughter to bring food because hes going to want to eat. Im sorry I didnt. Over $4 each for a hot dog, (he ate the hot dog I ate the bun), teeny bag of m & ms, regular apple juice (12 oz maybe?), and I think almost $8 for popcorn.Be warned Bow Tie, I will bring my own drink & candy, if there is a next time.

The large seats with cup holders are very nice and being able to pick/reserve your seats is a nice feature. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the bathrooms were messy- pieces of toilet paper on the floor and no tp in 1 of the stalls, etc.

The facility is beautiful. It is clean and there are high ceilings so you dont feel claustrophobic. Staff is generally kind and helpful.I know that movie theatre food is in general overpriced...but I found when ordering food at this theatre is was much higher than the norm.One other picky thing: we asked for extra butter on the popcorn and they said that they dont add it, and we had to go add it ourselves. Minor thing, for sure, but its the details that add up.Seats were comfortable, bathrooms were clean.

A very pretty theater, clean, and well staffed. Also very advanced when it comes to purchasing tickets. Becoming more of standard feature with most theaters, but they offer the opportunity to purchase tickets online and you receive a scannable QR code, therefore expediting the whole process. On the down side initial trailers before the movie in my experience can be up to 20 min long, as well as very pricey snack and drink prices, I believe 4 stars is fair all things considered and would be more than willing to come back if these things were addressed.

Saw Bohemian Rhapsody today. Great movie, theater is comfortable, BTX is impressive. Usually go on Tuesdays because prices are much better, but had a free ticket with my current card, so decided to splurge!

Its roarific!!! There couldnt have been a better time or place to see the first showing for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom!!!! Great vibrant sound boxes and epic graphic visual effects on a big screen set in a exquisitely colorful and comfortable theater! The higher I sit up the isles, the better the view! I couldnt ask for a better movie theater to watch a franchise I love or something I am yearning to see as it premieres! I highly recommend it for anyone!

Reserved seating is nice at times but a pain in the rear when you want to add people to a party... Or kids buying tickets separately... It is nice and new and clean. Great location but could use more parking. At times the lots fill up and then you have to hunt for parking.

Really nice staff. There was a new guy working and he was very polite about his mistakes or having to ask for assistance. We were in no rush because we went on a Thursday at night so it quite. Also very clean

Very new theater. Easy parking, short walk from and to downtown shops and restaurants for a full night out - dinner downtown, a movie (with some candy, of course), then back out for drinks!The seats are wonderful. The bathrooms are immaculate. They even show classic and cult favourites on weekend mornings. BTX is a bit overwhelming but thats why its fun, right?My favorite theater.

Very expensive theater,but the only chain in the area so your forced to go. The seats arent great at all, and the concessions are expensive too. But they sell alcohol so thats cool, but you have to consume it in the lobby, not in the theater. So thats pretty weird.

Fun movie theater in downtown Saratoga. Multiple kiosks for buying tickets as well as people at the ticket counter. You can even pay for your food at the kiosk and bring your receipt to the counter. Comfy seats where arm rest pushes up and out of the way for larger seat or for cuddling. Plastic lid for popcorn tub is genius - easier to share and shake up the butter.

Review №88

Great comfy seating and every seat has exceptional sound quality because its a Dolby certified theater. Not sure if they are Atmos or not but they may be. Top quality experience. Every once in a while its worth it to be robbed for the overpriced concessions and see a big screen blockbuster action movie in 3D with deafening sound. Id like to catch one of their special broadcast presentations or events sometime.

Good Theatre: Above average sound & seating. Online seat reservations worked well. Would be nice if alcohol was allowed in the theatres (not just in the lobby). Popcorn lid works well with toppings station if you have a ginger touch.

Review №95

A brand-new, clean, comfortable theater showing first-run features and indies right in downtown Saratoga... whats not to like? Real butter is provided for the popcorn (you can squirt on as much as you like) and you can have a glass of wine in the lobby (but not take it into the theater). The BTX theater has better sound and a bigger screen for $2 extra per ticket, but you still have to pay on top of that for 3D. $7 tickets all day on Tuesday and get a tub of popcorn for the price of a regular.
