Nice theater. Lost a lot of the likable features and charm in the lobby of the old movie posters and photos with the remodeling. comfortable. Needed updating the most, and have not been. Cup holders in New seats leave a lot to be desired, but confortable. Masks worn by staff should cover nose since they also deal with many seniors. Glad they have been open for a while. Very reasonable prices.

A big alternative to going out or watching a movie at home. This cinema has been recently renovated. Comfortable couches and clean floors. You have to wear a mask and to keep social distance, you and your party will be seating on a row of 10 chairs all for you. Once you are on your seat, you can take the mask off and enjoy the movie. I missed my popcorn and the huge screen, I am so glad we found this place. Highly recommended

This is an independent theater that is fairly nice with good staff. We came to see the opening night premier of The New Mutants and the theater was clean, with management being nice. Not a bad place to catch a movie.

Old Hollywood charm in the heart of The Paradigm Cinemas, Tamarac. If only movie theaters were still built like this one... Its theaters like this that make you feel like going to see a film is worth dressing up for. That $10+ is totally worth it for a movie ticket. That youd want to see a film on its opening night and not mind buying your tickets in advance and waiting in a long line an hour before it starts.

A nice little theater! I was pleasantly surprised when we happened upon this theater when my daughter really wanted to see this movie and it was almost out of theaters this summer. This was the only one locally that was still playing it. She was so excited! The tickets were only $5 each and we bought a small popcorn for $6.25. The gentleman (who I assume was the manager) split my small popcorn purchase into multiple bags (without me asking, because he saw I had 2 kids with me) so that each of my kids had their own bag and even filled them for them - super sweet of him & it just made their day to get their own & not have to share. The facility was nice and clean (including restroom), everyone we encountered working there was polite. We were very happy.

Only theatre Ive gone to since I moved here 4 years ago. You get to pick your seats, its large, and sometimes they have screenings/Q&A. Overall, cant go wrong with going here.

Sorry, but I really miss the old place with that lovely man who passed away . Also miss the very artsy look in lobby with the pink walls and all the old posters. Now it is just stark white. Chairs more comfortable, Ill give them that! But I did try a small popcorn and even though I said no butter, some of the pieces seemed wet like they had butter. When I questioned the young man on the way out he said they didnt use butter, so makes me wonder.....

This was a nice theater. It was recently updated. You got to pick your seat and the box office was able to recommend good seats to sit in. The seats were comfortable and able to recline, and there was plenty of leg room. The concession stand had a lot to offer, hot dogs, ice cream, candy and chips. The people in front of us ordered hot dogs and the concession person brought it to their seats for them. We got some popcorn and it was popped fresh for us right there. I would recommend this theater for a last minute movie as we did when visiting my grandmother.

The new upgrades are very nice.However, I do miss the old theater. It was a walk down memory lane that its gone now. Everything is modern, new and shinny. Yeah, I guess. You can even pick your seat before you go in, Yeah, I guess.

If you dont mind the old fashioned movie theater then you wont mind Tamarac Cinema. A standard sized theater with standard food and drink. The seating is fine for me, as is the food and drink, but the price is always right. We always wait till the movies come to Tamarac Cinema. Save a bundle and enjoy a movie in peace and quiet. You cant go wrong at Tamarac Cinema, bring the kids for an inexpensive day at the movies.

I have always loved The Last Picture Show in the past and the newly renovated Paradigm Cinema has proven to be a better version with the introduction of comfortable, although, manually controlled recliners! I hope they continue offering foreign films, especially those with Jewish themes.

My wife and I went to this movie theater tonight. This place is more than just going to see a movie, it was a really wonderful experience. Brian, that met us at the front with a smile told stories of the history of the theater, the manager who had been there for decades who just passed was reflected in his eyes. It was a wonderful evening, and a wonderful experience. I wish I was a billionaire so I could buy the building to ensure that this place will always be there.

Theyve remodeled and it looks much better. The theaters are clean and have recliners. The concession stand did have alot to offer different from other theaters. Noyhing at the stand is expensive. I only took away a star because the mozzarella sticks werent good and some of them were cold.

Review №36

This once great theater to go to on a Saturday night is now being ran into the ground. Ever since the owner passed away (God rest his soul) they have completely changed the place. It was a nice simple cheap old fashioned and not bad at all. Now they have replaced the chairs with uncomfortable “recliner” chairs that will not even stay down when you lean back. They’ve raised the prices because of these chairs and are just changing what once made the theater an amazing old fashioned blast to the past to a failed adaptation to what amc has done to the dine in theater. Sad.

Review №52

This is a rundown theatre that I imagine was once anything but. New films are played here, just at a lower cost. On tuesdays I believe its half off. Regular price is $5.50 per adult and children are a little less. It is cash only so dont forget. Its an easy choice if you dont mind the really outdated seats that arent comfortable at all. I would not recommend if youre watching a film thats over an hour and half. Now I will give my reason for three stars. The staff are painfully awkward. You used to have to pay for your tickets at a little box office outside before even entering but now you walk inside and get your tickets. Every single time I walk up to the concession counter it is the most awkward experience EVER. Please hire people who if at least arent the best at their social skills, dont give off a standoffish energy. I know Im not the only one whos experienced this.

This is a wonderful one-of-a-kind place. The theaters are actually full size the way they used to be. Admission prices are cheap so this is great if you have a bunch of kids. Cash only. The lobby has all kinds of old time kitchy decor,. Well be back.

Review №56

I dont like the brand new movies with expensive prices. Only a few dollars difference from the big fancy theaters. The new seats must have been on sale. Not movie theater seats. Doesnt recline and does not have even a cup holder. Not that big of a seat. I like the movies a little bit older but $2.50 on Tuesdays. This theater will go out of business. I was there and it was empty. Lost me as a customer.

Review №60

Theyre revamping the place & I guess it will be nice once they finish - but the seats arent super comfy. Maybe those seats are temporary though idk... they were too shallow & the backs dont come up high enough at all to support your head so your necks always at an odd angle on the recline & its not like a true recliner experience. But again - maybe those seats arent the permanent ones bc they havent finished the floors yet & they werent bolted down so its yet to be determined... for me the seats, the sound system & decent air conditioning is what the comfort level & visual/audio experience is all about. The sound systems good - the a/c was fine - but 4 stars bc the seats arent on par with other really nice theaters. Hope they are the temporary seats until the floors are finished - bc other than that its a nice neighborhood theater.

Review №61

If you are willing to forgo comfortable seating found in current theaters for 1990 style seating youve got it made. Prices are very reasonable..even a $2.50 day. Fairly current movies as well as some art ones. Good mix. Place is very clean, including bathrooms

REALLY A GREAT PLACE TO SEE FIRST RUN FILMS AT A BARGAIN BY JUST WAITING A FEW WEEKS AFTER ITS RELEASE. CLEAN, PLENTY OF FREE PARKING, GREAT SOUND AND BIG SCREENS. MANAGER IS A PART TIME STAND UP COMIC, TELL HIM A FUNNY JOKE, HE WILL APPRECIATE IT.

The staff werent so nice today. I havent been here in years but anyways, both my son and brother have autism. We took them to see Wreck it Ralph Breaks the Internet and there were several children in the lobby. My son gets a little more hyperactive the others and all the staff immediately started staring and giving dirty looks. Some were even telling him that if he didnt quiet down he would have to go outside. Given, all the other children were loud and excited as well AND my son was very well behaved the whole movie. Anyways, when I tried to say that my son was autistic (upon entrance) and that he will calm down shortly- the staff spoke over me. You know exactly who I am. I used to come here when I was pregnant with my son. And like I said, joking or not - discrimination and being mean to my autistic son is not acceptable and you should be ashamed. It was really hurtful. Have some empathy. I will probably not be returning. (Side note: the movie was hilarious and all the children in the theater had a blast. Some even danced after the movie! I hope that didnt bother you guys! Kids will be kids!

Check this theater out before you go spend $12 on a movie. A few of the movies playing were new releases. $5.50 is an awesome price to see any movie. The place is clean friendly staff and decent popcorn.

This theater is now under new management since the previous theater went bankrupt. Many in the area don’t seem to understand that the prices they ran were unrealistic for this modern economy. The people who visit this theater are of an older age group where they view the times in the paper still and wonder why the price of a can of soup is higher than it was in the 70s lol. I’ve talked with the new management there who tell me that the theater will have a whole new renovated look with reclining seating, new floors and paint, a brand spanking new concession area, and first run movies! They’re still keeping the photos from the walls for a later use in their remodeling to keep the old timers happy. It’s great to see this kind of change happening to my local theater since the previous owners ignored a lot of health violations like the roaches and cleanliness that deterred me from even stepping foot inside the rut. I can’t wait for the new look and to bring my family to the next featured film!!**P.S this Maury guy wasn’t the previous owner he was just a loving General Manager who loved his job and this (Byw Ryt) person above me is a genuine old a**hole lmao!!!!

Great place to watch a movie. Very fun and a new experience. But if you lose something dont expect to be able to call and ask if they found it. I lost my wallet and was only met with a very long automatic about the theater. So now now we have to travel all the way there and they may not even have it. Otherwise, wonderful theater. Just dont lose anything!
