Plush seating, actual tables, and servers bringing food while explosions happen on screen makes you feel like royalty who also enjoys popcorn and bad decisions at the concession stand. The theater itself looks like old-school Hollywood decided to move to Portsmouth and never left. The sound is incredible, the screen is huge, and somehow even the fries feel like they deserve an award nomination. Honestly ruined regular movie theaters for me. Now when I go anywhere else, I'm confused why no one is bringing me dinner while I emotionally recover from plot twists. Five stars. Come hungry, leave happy, and prepare to become dramatically judgmental about every other theater afterward.

WHAT! I've been living here over 3 years and haven't reviewed this place yet?…read more To me, Naro Cinema is a little piece of home. I'm from Los Angeles where art house films can be seen at art house theaters or established theaters like AMC or Regal. Naro is THE place I can count on to play awards campaign films, but they'll also have an incredible showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show :) The staff is super friendly and you can tell they love to be there - they're my kind of people who love film. Ticket prices are cheap (I usually buy them online) and food prices are reasonable. I love coming here because theaters are dying and places like this need to continue living! So please, support cinema art and watch movies at the Naro.

You're asked for your ticket and even when mine was bought online (digital), they could look up the transaction that I bought online by just giving my name! The popcorn was not warm and can't taste the butter they asked if I wanted some. They have home baked goods like brownies and baklava, wonder whose home they came from, no labels of ingredients or when they're good until! Neat part is that there is a balcony section. My first time here, had always wanted to go in the almost 7 years that I relocated to VA Beach from NoVA/DC area. Speaking of which the draw of this theatre is that they show independent films, love it! Wish they have more choices though, only two film showings per day. Am watching Black Bag today, should be a good spy thriller movie starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender.

We watched Superman soar and literally felt him get smashed into the concrete. IMAX is beyond anything I could hope for. The clear, crisp sound you feel. I felt bad for Superman. I can tell you that I felt like I was relaxing at home at one point. The Nacho cheese was warm and yummy. I love eating nachos and drinking my slurpee. This theater has pizza, hotdogs, and a candy assortment that pleased my nephews . Parking is good and ticketing is Superman using the in lobby machines. I love picking our seats on that screen, it's huge. All of the staff including the security personnel were so friendly and very professional. Every age group was in the theatre and it was a good time. We are headed back in a few days. Prior to COVID, we lived going to movies and we are getting back in the swing of it now. Oh the theater was super clean, bathrooms are stocked and clean too. The put a few tables and chairs so you can munch out while waiting for everyone in your group to arrive. Get out there and enjoy .

(Sometimes I LOVE not having to calculate an extra 5-7 minutes of brisk walking through the lot and the mall especially when there's elevators) I can always appreciate how clean this theater is. I used the restroom near the exit this time just to see if it held up... it did. The employees are all really nice and helpful. They're mostly young adults but always smiling and very polite. The food is what it is...Not gourmet or "cafe" style, but always hot and available already packaged. Not to mention, the kiosk option to assist myself, always saves me when there's an expected crowd for a new and exciting movie. Otherwise, I get to take my time to an empty theater on discount Tuesdays.

My husband and I love a dinner-and-a-movie date night, so having everything in one place is perfect for us. The reclining chairs are super comfortable, especially once you've eaten and can just settle back and relax during the movie. The menu is pretty basic, but that's expected for a movie theater, and it still has some solid options. Some of my favorites are the coconut shrimp and the hot honey pizza. Overall, this is my go-to spot for seeing a movie. Always an easy, enjoyable experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

A lot of the time we could hear guests/employees talking and laughing right outside of the theater doors while our movie was playing. Every time the employees came in, the door would let a significant amount of light in on the screen. It was super distracting. Also for the price, I feel like the chips and cheese could offer a bit more. It was tasty though, just not abundant.

We normally order tickets online so when we get there, we can just scan the barcode or enter the confirmation number and grab them. The process is always very quick and easy. We've claimed the last row as "our seats" since we enjoy sitting in the back, and thankfully, the views of the movie are still great. As we looked over the menu waiting for the movie to start, we decided on the Mission Impossible Deluxe Nachos and The Fifth Element Supreme Pizza. Our food was served fairly quickly but unfortunately, the nachos lacked cheese and they only added a few, small dollops of chili. The pizza was pretty good though.

This last visit changed my mind a little. The volume of the movie was down to low, and when asked to turn it up because we could hear the movie playing next door over our movie, we were told it was preset unfortunately. My friend and I decided to try something new off the menu. She got the supreme pizza which tasted like chef boyardon't, chef boyardee would have been better than this pizza. The crust was hard with a low quality taste. I got the deluxe nachos, which there was nothing deluxe about. The chips were stale, it was supposed to have chili which I saw like 4 beans and really couldn't find the meat. There was a bunch of lettuce and onions, and a splash of cheese. The chip to cheese ratio was off!! The waiter did give me an extra tiny cup of cheese, which didn't help much. But at least he tried. I'll stick to my usual cheeseburger in the future. That's normally good. The food was a flop this time!! They left the lights on during the whole movie which made it weird. The usually turn the lights off. Not to mention Scary Movie 6 sucks. That's not their fault, I'm just warning you, it's not worth your time!! They did play good music in the lobby and the theater was clean. Picking up our tickets we ordered online was easy, and I like that you can reserve seats of your choice ahead of time. I hope next time the experience is better.

Returned in 2026, and they do not have the reclining seats anymore, which was the main reason I chose this location. Other than that, it's mostly your typical movie house. Concessions are ridiculously overpriced, moviegoers are obnoxiously loud, and the trailers last forever. It took nearly half an hour for one film to start because of all the commercials advertising how great AMC is. It was very ironic as it didn't do them any favors in proving that claim. However, I have had a good time here. The lobby is big and they have a bar in case you want to drown your sorrows over having spent so much money and having to sit through a sucky film. They also have claw machines where you can get little toys if you pay for tokens. I took the gamble and won a rubber turtle with an affliction and a soccer ball on its shell. Maybe I just like hanging out in movie theaters, but I did enjoy my time here each visit. I'd go back if I was in the area or if I wanted to go a little way out from where I live if there's something playing at this one I want to see that badly. I like being able to put mustard on my popcorn. For anyone curious: the films I went here to see were, Jeepers Creepers 3 & EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.

Let's see how everything went. The ticket buying process has been very simple: select your movie times online and your tickets will be available for check-in. We were able to attend each show with no problems. From checking out Companion to Avatar Fire and Ash, each movie played well on screen. They did make slight changes to movie previews toward the end of the year and let's hope they continue that this year. No moviegoer deserves to sit through 30 minutes before actual showtimes. But what can you do??? Well, there you have it. 2025 in the books. Let's hope 2026 continues great vibes :)
