Not the greatest, but the best local theater on SI. Need to upgrade their facilities & equipment.

The theater itself is great, but the management there is very rude and not very helpful regarding online ticket sales.

I purchased four tickets for the Aladdin movie at the Atrium Stadium theatre in Great Kill, SI. It cost $60.00. When purchasing the tickets you must select your assigned seating; almost like a Broadway play. Although we were 30 minutes early, most of the seats were reserved and purchased, thus we had to select the four seats vacant in the first row/row A; seats 3,4.5 & 6. Prior to the movie starting, we noticed that there was very few people attendance in the theatre. I stayed in my seat and did not move back, not to disturb the other guests in the theatre and thinking the prior purchased seats would be filled shortly. The movie started and viewing was difficult; not enjoyable by any of us. AlI I could see the pixels on the screen and we were much too close to the screen. As the movie continued, I noticed that two seats were taken behind us and NO other viewers in that entire row, nor the row behind that "Row C". After the movie ended, I was crossed eyed from the difficult viewing and did not enjoy the film at all. No one was in the pre-selected seats as we departed the theatre. I asked to speak to a Manager. He was called to the ticket booth. While waiting for him to speak to me, the attendant asked me what the problem was. I told her and she said, "You should have just got up & moved back to another seat". I stated I didn't want to disturb the other guests. I finally the Manager said that the other seats were purchased as he pointed to the screen and could not be sold to me. I said over thirty seats were pre-paid and selected and not one of them showed up. ??? Hard to believe! What happened to buy your ticket and sit where you want. First come first serve. I will never purchase tickets at the Atrium theatre again or recommend that theatre to anyone. The Manager didn't even apologize and was extremely curt and unprofessional. read more

I hate this theater, but it's better than the other theater on the island, (just because you have less of a chance of getting shot here.) Everytime I come here, there's a mob of tweenies hanging out in front who think they own the world. The theaters aren't too big and it's just a dindgy looking theater. At least now there is stadium seating, i think i went here once prior to it having stadium seating and it was horrible. read more

Although renovated, they did nothing to fix the quality of the movie screen itself. And seriously why go to the movies if the quality is bad. Gave it 2 stars because the movie itself was pretty good (saw Crazy Stupid Love). But the low quality of the movie (it was blurry and grainy) and ambiance was something left to be desired. I'll stick with the UA Stadium on Forest. read more

This place is small, dirty, and outdated. I would not recommend anyone to go to this theater.

This theatre is amazing! All of it's theatres have Suite recliner seating which are very comfortable. Today we went to see Aquaman and they unfortunately had an issue with the sound in the theatre. After they tried and could not fix it quickly we were offered a refund or the opportunity to see a different movie, which we chose to do. They then gifted us with complimentary tickets so we could also come back and see Aquaman, which was really wonderful of them. I recommend this theatre highly. read more

I absolutely love this theater. It always has a huge selection of movies, plenty of parking, the staff are extremely friendly and provide quick service. Your not rushed out of the theater once your movie is over. If you should ever have a problem with misbehaving teens, all you have to do is alert the manager and they throw them out. They do not play games here. Your an important customer to them. Most theaters would just warn them, but not at the Atrium. Comfortable seats too! read more

Watched a lot of movies here growing up . It is what it is , quick convenient movie theater . I don't see how anyone can complain about them . They have updated the seats and sound system to compete with competition, I usually go during week . Weekends they do have a lot of kids .. but it's a family theater read more

This place is awesome. Great for families, stadium seating, most comfortable seats and hands down best popcorn on Staten Island! The whole place has been re-done and is very new and clean. It offers a broad selction of movies and showtimes. It is also family owned, the owners are always there, and it is very safe.It is great for kids and adults as well. It has many arcade games too. Overall, as far as movie theaters go, this one is outstanding. **This review is the most recent in this list, and therefore should be trusted. I go there very often and improvements are made weekly. read more

Very nice movie theatre usually, not the most clean but it has a lot of business so what do you expect. One problem I have is their 8pm rule. Why would you change all the studios to premium studios and rule that no one over 18 years old can watch a movie in a premium studio past 8pm? What the hell is going to happen past 8pm? If you are going to institute that rule, at least change it to 10pm or change some of the studios back to regular for the kids. I've been denied many times myself, and it's not the greatest experience. It takes the fun out of one of the only places on staten island for a teenager to have some fun. read more

Same price as any 3D movies but 25% less satisfactory. Luxury powered leather recliner won't satisfy the missing 25% of the screen. You paid to watch a widescreen movie instead they played a TV format screen size. They are trying to mimic IMAX screen by sacrificing the sides of the movie. Now I have to rewatch Avengers Infinity Wars. This theater is not worth it. read more

Worst movie theater on Staten Island. Paid $144 to see Black Panther with a large group of people. Movie starrs 20 minutes late, screen is messed up for the first 10 minutes of the filn, whole film children were screaming at the top of their lungs. Going to complain resulted in nothing being done. Was refused a refund when complaining about the theaters inability to solve the problems. They will take your money and do nothing to solve any problems you may. Can't wait till The Alamo Draft House opens up and puts this terrible place out of business. read more

This is my movie theatre of choice on Staten Island. It's been renovated. It isn't nearly as dirty as the other reviews make it out to be. Stadium seating (seats are large red velvet.) Slightly better prices than Regal. There is actually more than one restroom, but I guess no one ever bothered to walk down the hallway. It can get crowded with pre-teens on the weekend, but unless you are planning on watching Hotel for Dogs at 8pm on a friday night..you really won't have a problem. I've never had a problem with this crowd while going to see an R rated movie on a weekend, at night. They tend to hang out more in the lobby and parking lot. I choose this theatre over that other stadium theatre any day(...especially since the last time I went to it someone was shot in the parking lot gangland style and months before that someone else was beaten into a coma.) I'll stick with suburban tweens loitering in a lobby, while i support a local business not a mega chain. And I've never waited a 1/2 hour on line. read more

I went to see Tarzan with my two kids on the 4th of July (1:45 pm show) and asked the ticket booth clerk for "three tickets for Tarzan." The clerk told me it would be $36 ($12/ticket) and I forked it over while at the same time thinking the price seemed a bit high. Anyhow, when we went into the theater where Tarzan was showing (theater #1) we walked straight across the entry level to the wall (there is no aisle against the wall for access to upper level seating) and sat down. Much to our surprise we found the seats to be large cushioned reclining seats! Just like the leather recliner in your TV room at home (though I don't think they were real leather). Buttons on the inside of the right arm of the seats allow you to recline the seats pretty far back and view the movie in comfort. Much nicer than your standard movie theater seats! That said, I was a little annoyed that we were not told in advance that this movie was only being shown in theater with reclining seats and not in any of the theaters with standard seating. So you basically had no choice but to pay the higher cost of luxury seating if you wanted to see this movie. I felt like they had pulled the old bait and switch on me. (That is why I deducted one star.) Overall, however, it was an enjoyable experience. Just be aware that you may end up paying more than you thought to see certain movies ... and like it! read more

It's a small theater located on the south shore and for the kids it's great. The newer theaters are a little better the seats are newer and more comfortable as far as the older ones they could use some cleaning and updating, but it's a small theater so you kind of expect it to be a little outdated and crowded with loud teenagers. I don't mind the matinee shows with my kids and the prices are slightly cheaper. It's close to the south shore and considering there are only three on the island I would choose this one for the cheap local fix. read more

This theater needs a little explaining. it was originally built as a 2 screen theater when I was a kid. The entire plaza was built with that volume of people in mind. to keep up they renovated and added 10 screens. as a result the parking lot packs fast and stays that way when a new blockbuster first opens. Kids gravitate to nearest "cool spot" and this plaza is one such place so expect to see lots of kids on weekends. as for the theater, it has different size screen rooms to accommodate the different size crowds different movies generate. those in higher demand are in bigger rooms than those getting smaller crowds. ticket prices are the lowest on the island, food prices are generally the same as other theaters, and the movies are all shown in digital and rooms can handle 3D. If you're looking for a theater that can give you a good experience while not leaving you feeling like you've been gouged this is the best option you'll find on S.I. if you're looking for the ultimate movie going experience you'll have to go somewhere else and shell out $20+ a ticket read more

This is a local place, and it is run that way. Recently there was an interruption while we were watching a picture for 5-7 minutes , and no reimbursement was given. read more

By far the cleanest movie theater on Staten Island. The seats remind me of the car seat. Very comfortable. My wife and I watched a 3-hour movie yesterday and did not feel tired. The theater was very crowded but then again it was Saturday night. Even bathrooms were OK. I hate public bathrooms but quick in and out of there was OK. All in all, a very positive experience. read more

It's a good theater and its local. My only complaint is that I never in my life expected to wait for pretzels for ten minutes at the concession stand. read more

just got back form a wonderful film being shown at the Atrium. Courteous staff, but it was COLD in theater 11. Please start adding some heat ! read more

I was excited the first time we went for the Luxury seating thinking the price and 18 and over would deter parents from bringing young children and teens would not be attending and making noise. Finally a movie I could watch in peace. The seats are enjoyable although the front row is way too close for my taste. We just saw SULLY with a full theater and was very disappointed that the adult clientele were absolutely disgusting ! They trashed the place more than a group of toddlers. Then they are the first to complain about the price and the conditions. read more

I saw The Hang Over 2 on the opening night. The theater had more kids under 12 than a disney movie. I thought rate R meant little kids, like 6, 7 or 8 weren't allowed read more

I like the theatre. Clean, and they have matine pricing. Large popcorn sizes seemed to have shrunk a bit and they do not offer refills like regal cinemas. Overall I like the theatre and have been there many times! read more

I haven't been here in a long time and now I know why. I walked in to purchase two tickets for a movie and the person at the desk was so rude. I was telling her I wanted seats 3 and 4. and she rudely said POINT WHERE BECAUSE THERES THREE OF THOSE. and then throws the tickets at me. Then I go to get a snack and i'm standing off to the side trying to decide what I want and a person working the snack stand was screaming NEXT at me 3 times. so I looked at her and all three times she wasn't looking at me so i figured she wasn't talking to me since she wasn't looking at me. I was also off to the very side and there was people in front of me. then she screams Next at me so loud and looked at me and i'm like "oh sorry i didn't know you were talking to me, i'm not sure what I want" and she rolls her eyes at me. I can't believe how rude these workers are. All entitled teenagers who think being rude is okay to people. Don't work in customer service if you don't want to be kind. read more

great theatre. never had a problem. clean, orderly. the lines for the concessions aren't ridiculous. though it's packed, you can usually score some seats at last minute, because people like to go to the big name theatres. keep it up... read more

this theater is a dump! the staff is a bunch of 12 year olds who have no clue what's going on. we attempted to see a movie there last night and there was a group of adults behind us who'd seen the movie already and felt the need to give a running commentary. when I turned around and asked them to be quiet as did other people one of them jumped up and started cursing me out and threatening my husband. also, trying to watch the conjuring and all you can hear is pacific rim playing next door, loud enough that it was difficult to hear the movie we paid to see. it seemed as though these complaints are common since they had no problem giving us our money back when we walked out half way through the movie. just go to stadium 16, never had a problem there. read more

this is my local theater and ive been coming here since i was young. im 17 now and go to later movies with my friends. but since im not 18 i am denied to purchase a ticket for the luxury rooms. okay i get it whatever, but every theater is a luxury theater, how would they like me to spend my money here and enjoy my time if i cant even get it?? this is bs ive never been asked for my id when i see rated r movies even though im a minor, yet when i wanna see a pg13 movie i cant since im not 18. how does this make sense?? theyre losing a lot of business and money considering their prime customers for later movie times r teens. this is absolutely ridiculous. i hope they get rid of this moronic policy. read more

I have never had a bad experience at this particular movie theater. On our last trip to see The Lorax however, I was upset. My son who is 6 likes to get the children's pack which comes with popcorn, soda and fruit snacks. He likes to have his own thing and he always sees the other kids with it. We don't go to the movies often so we let him get this. Recently he had a reaction to food dye and we were told by an allergist to eliminate it from his diet. I was not allowed by the Atrium to substitute the fruit snacks for anything else nor was I able to just omit the fruit snacks and pay a few cents less. Its frustrating. With all the food allergies in the last few years, surely they could come up with some alternatives in the event that there is a case or two like this. Our experience otherwise was fine. The movie played smoothly, there was enough room for everyone and the movie was well enjoyed by everyone in our party. read more
