    Reviews With Photos - Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Las Colinas

    Trinh T.

    Alamo Drafthouse is a regional chain of cinemas that happen to be my go-to location due to its pre-movie show, quality of the food and drink, and location. While it's my favorite theater, it's not for everyone. This updated review focuses on some specific details about the Toyota Music Factory location. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Theater, Food, Return) Atmosphere - First the good - Alamo Drafthouse is rarely crowded and is easy to get to as it's located in the heart of Irving-Las Colinas's Toyota Music Factory. All the seats have recently been upgraded so they fully recline, and you can kick your feet up. There's also a full bar that's open on weekends. The bad? The parking (a TMF issue) can be limited during concert nights. Still the updated chairs and accessible slate of movies overcome those parking issues for me. 1 Star. Service - Heads up, Alamo Drafthouse doesn't have a concession stand. It's a full-service experience, meaning as soon as I sit down, a server will come take my order. No more standing in line and missing the movie, they brought my order directly to me. If I need anything, I just write it on a card, and a server comes out of nowhere to take my order. 1 Star. Theater - Some screens at this location have more seats than others (check online), but the reason I love the Alamo Drafthouse is the pre-movie entertainment. Yes, I enjoy arriving early so I can watch the show. Mind you, these are not movie previews, it is entertaining content related to the main movie. For example, when I watched Transformers One here, they showed the old school Transformer toy commercials FROM JAPAN on screen. The screen and sound are adequate (other theaters are better), but nothing beats the pre-movie entertainment. Plus, arriving early allows me to get settled into my seat and place my food and drink order. Because Drafthouse is in the name, there are plenty of beers to choose from. Alamo also has movie themed food, and it's good. The bottomless movie popcorn with clarified butter is a must order. The one downside is there are limited bathrooms. So, if you see a big movie opening weekend, expect a line if you need to use the bathroom after the movie. Still, this is the best movie to see EXPERIENCE out there. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Now that COVID is way behind us, I find myself going to the movies a few times a month. Alamo has $7 tickets on Tuesday, so there's always a reason for me to come back. I'll be back when the next big movie premiers. 1 Star.

    Saw Scream 7 here and Wicked. Both visits were good experiences. Popcorn is the best here and food was good too. I really like that you can walk to numerous restaurants and bars before or after the movie. The theaters aren't small but they definitely feel more cozy. Recliners were very comfortable! I got there early and ordered and the service was quick and accurate.

    Told the server when I came in that I had a gift card. She asked for my card to run a tab but I told her that I planned to use the gift card. She never returned. I had to wait until the movie was over, luckily found her so she could charge the gift card instead of my credit card. Then had to ask her for proof the gift card was charged in case my bank account gets debited. She's like 'oh..you want proof?' Um, yeah especially since you're taking the gift card from me. I think she was a little...high. Movie was great, food was meh. I was happy though because I'd been waiting a LONG time to see the movie I saw, so my judgment is a bit off. But it was a great movie. I wouldn't recommend coming here on the night of a concert event though. I'm writing this from the parking lot waiting for all the cars to leave. Or if you live close enough, walk or Uber. I'm Uber distance not walking.

    This wasn't even the loudest part of the movie and it hit 101 dB.

    Came in on a Tuesday to watch a movie and have dinner. We arrived early so we could put in our food order before the movie, but had to find someone at the bar to place our order. Understandable, they basically had 2 staff members. The biggest issue was how loud the theater was. While the trailers were playing, we noticed everything was very loud, and then the second the movie started it was unbearable. Went to the check-in counter and complained. The girl said she'd tell the manager. 10 min go by, no difference, and when we approached the manager he said "we've already turned the sound down once today in that theater, it's just a loud movie". And here's the kicker... we were the only ones in the theater. I don't know how much effort goes into turning down the sound, but for being the only ones in there, why couldn't it be done? I downloaded a decibel meter app just so I could show the manager how loud it was at the end, but couldn't find him. From the time I could use it, there was a max of 103 dB. The sound equivalent of a jet flyover at 100 feet. Unless you want to bust your eardrums, go to another Alamo.

    Good theatre. Clean bathrooms, clean seating and friendly staff. No recliner seats. Server was attentive. Great location. Parking validation, just let the front desk know. I believe it's covered up to four hours. Chicken tenders and veggie supreme pizza were delicious, but pricey.

    Alamo has spoiled me and now I have trouble going to other theaters. -I love the videos they show before the previews. Before superhero movies, you can see funny short videos. -They are very good about enforcing the rules so I get to enjoy the movie in peace. In general once the previews begin, no one talks. -The theater is usually fairly clean. -They have special showings for people who want to make noise during the movie (sing alongs, baby day to watch with babies, etc.). -Sometimes I go to other movie theaters with better seats (reclining, pairs, etc.) and better food. Other theaters are stepping up their food options & Alamo's menu is getting less and less exciting. If you go often, you'll probably find a safe, go-to option and stick with it.

My review focuses on the different types of seating and the greatness of online ordering. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Theater, Return) Atmosphere - Upon entering, you'll find a huge concession stand in the middle complete with movie candy and snacks to entice you as you make your way to order popcorn. There's an arcade on the right, and another concession stand for ordering more food along with tons of seating. If you order ahead, you can pick up your concessions here (see below for more details). 1 Star. Service - I'm going to focus on the Cinemark app. Who needs Moviefone when I can use the app for everything? I can select a theater, choose a movie, choose my seat, and even order concessions. Seriously, kudos to the Cinemark team, I show up at movie time, pick up my popcorn and concession that I ordered online, and head to my movie. No stress/wait, just time saved. 1 Star. Theater - Not all screens are the same. Here's a breakdown of what to expect: 1. IMAX - It's IMAX Digital - not a full-blown IMAX experience, but still good. The IMAX screen is dedicated to one side. It has its own concession stand, but it's never open. Finally, these are regular seats - no recliners. 2. XD - This is Cinemark's best experience. Huge floor to wall screen with reclining seats. There are also a few DBox seats which are more immersive (and expensive). There are two XD screens at this location. 3. 2D Digital - This is Cinemark's standard screen. They have multiple screens that vary in size, and they all have reclining seats. If you're not sure what experience your movie is showing on, check the website or app. Most blockbuster movies will be shown in IMAX and XD opening weekend, then will move to the smaller 2D Digital screens. Expect to pay about $50 for 2 people and concessions. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. I really like the convenience of selecting a movie and buying it online along with my concessions. I'm also a Movie Club member (check Cinemark for details as pricing varies by location) and buying/refunding tickets and concessions are super easy. 1 Star.

Even though this place was in much better health years ago, I was dissatisfied enough back then to swear I'd never return. Then Yelp hosted a fun event here recently that made me reconsider my decision. Unfortunately, that redemption would be short lived. I returned with my family on Easter Sunday and the first order of business was getting popcorn and drinks. After finding our seats we immediately dug in. I had only taken a couple bites when I found hair in my popcorn. And it definitely wasn't mine! The way it was wrapped around the piece told me that it was there when the kernel was popped. I was totally grossed out! Not only did I refuse to eat any more during the movie (even from a fresh batch), I'm not sure I will ever feel comfortable eating popcorn in a dark theater again. It's obvious that higher prices don't equal better hygiene practices here because the popcorn (along with everything else) is outrageously expensive. The fact that the condiment stations were dirty and the floors were sticky, before the first showing of the day, was a big clue that I mistakenly overlooked. Not surprisingly, I'm finally done with this theater and probably all AMCs for that matter.

The woman up front who sold us our tickets was especially helpful and answered questions we didn't know we had. She showed us her screen so we could select our seats. Only 2 others tickets had been purchased. That's it! There were only four of us in our screening room. We aimed for the seats in the center. It was the best viewing. The downside is that these seats do NOT recline. They look like recliners, but apparently only the front two rows have reclining seats. That was unfortunate. The seats are also a pleather-like material, so if you wear shorts or a short skirt, your skin might stick to it. It was a little warmer than I expected in the theater, but I'm guessing they don't bother having the temperature gauge low anymore because they don't get a lot of bodies in seats heating up the place. We were given a menu by the woman at front, but there was also a QR code on the tray table at our seat. There is a big red button on the front of the seat for calling the server. Our Margherita pizza and vanilla milkshake were brought out separately. The shake was delivered long after we had eaten our pizza. Even though we had arrived well before the movie started and ordered right away, the food didn't come out until right as the movie was starting. I was actually hoping the food would be delivered sooner so we could eat before it got dark. Per usual, I ended up with food spilling on my dress. Plus, I would have liked to drank my shake while splitting the pizza with my husband. He ordered a diet Pepsi - both a big NO in my book. Overall it was a decent experience. We usually go to the SMG in our neighborhood, but this one in Plano had a start time that worked better with our schedule, so we made the drive here. We will most likely return to our local SMG where all the seats recline, the theater is cold, and all of the food and drink are delivered at the same time.
