PaddyJune 24, 2016The auditoriums are terribly laid out. Screen was small relative to the auditorium and row level descends as rows go back so your viewpoint is always up. Popcorn is THE best ever though!!
Comfy seats, not a ton of trailers, outside the cookie cutter theater design. Whenever a movie is playing here instead of AMC on 87th & 3rd, it's a bonus.
Christin GabrielNovember 16, 2013Best interior design of any movie theater in the city. Feels like a space station. Terrible screens and customer service though.
Andrew CSeptember 23, 2016No movie theatre is worth $15... this one a bit more run down and outdated compared to AMC or Regal ones!!! Popcorn, soda, candy, etc are stupid expensive but at least it is large portions
Samir BenhamdaneAugust 14, 2012City cinema it bull shit movie theater when you get there to watch movie this ass holes keep shutting off their aircondition fuck it what it's that it terrible loews in 87 and 3av is the best
Amy CummingsMarch 27, 2017The seats aren't very spacious. And the people working the concession stand weren't very friendly.
popcorn is so much better (and fresher) than AMC. try one of their popcorn "flavors". the kettle corn is nice, but always seems to be sold out.
Freda MatteaJuly 17, 2011Popcorn is pretty good and the small sodas are actually a great size. Medium popcorn is kinda big though. Good prices compared to the AMC
Christina ChinMarch 21, 2017No stadium seating, went for free screening and the concession stand line was super long
Chef Stacy LaRocheJune 17, 2011Most theaters have seats where you can lift up the chair's arm rest allowing you to sit arm-in--arm on date night
HeyHayleyJaneSeptember 1, 2013Cinema seats smell a little musty... Like being in an old attic. Bring febreze.
Ticket line is outdoors if you aren't using the machine.
Ross SheingoldJune 29, 2011Nachos are usually stale, but that isn't unexpected. Popcorn was better than at the nearby AMC.
Sara GilesApril 10, 2011Upstairs theaters are very warm. No jacket needed in this theater. Chairs are cushy.
Bemvilac BritoApril 21, 2012Er,...I blame all the stoner losers on the smell(y)boot problems! (hey, you keep on the line, punk)
RonAugust 13, 2012Movies cost way too much to go to this theater. The place needs an upgrade. The sound isn't the greatest either.
Vincent Duncan-CallenderJuly 23, 2011They do not do matinee prices. No need to catch a early morning movie here.
Kassandra PollardApril 21, 2012This place is a little grimy. I feel like I'm sitting in years of sweat.
The escalator at this place is fucking broken, so if that's why you were coming to this place: make other plans.
- Ross SheingoldSeptember 23, 2012Theater is in SERIOUS need of a renovation. Small screens and poor quality projectors with awful artifacts. Absurd that they charge $14 per ticket here.
Wow, just had 3 separate employees be rude to me on the same trip to this theatre. Employees seem to be very unhappy.
Ashley LorenzoApril 7, 2013Never in my life have I met such unprofessional and unwelcoming employees. Never coming back to this theater again.
