    Medium size popcorn

    This cinema is located in the Cerritos mall. Park near the cheesecake factory for easy access. The theater is very clean and spacious. The employees are friendly and polite. The bar is available for cocktails and mocktails. There's also a mobile pickup for refreshments through the app.

    Got the opportunity to see the new Spider-Man movie in the really nice Cine-Plex 1 theater here at Harkins at the Los Cerritos Center. The theater itself is so nice with large aisles and plenty of walking room in between the aisles. The seats all recline to pretty much a lying position but not ideal for a movie, because it would put me right to sleep. Loungers are so comfortable and even though it gets super loud inside, the Dolby sound system is incredible. Cineplex movies are more expensive, but depending on the movie, it's all worth it.

    Bunch crunch, popcorn, cinnamon sugar pretzel

    First time getting to experience the Cine XL while watching Spiderman! Loved the expansive screen, the surround sound, and the leather seats that recline pretty far! Of course, couldn't complete my movie experience without having my buttery popcorn and sweet snacks (buncha crunch and cinnamon sugar pretzel). Would highly recommend coming to Harkin's and watching in the Cine XL Rm 1 for a better than standard experience! I would say that the only downside is that lines at the concessions stand were pretty long and moved quite slow, but understandable since it was around 20 minutes before showtime.

    Nachos!

    My go to movie spot as it is reasonablly priced and located supser close! Parking is always busy during peak movie viewing times and most the day, but that is expected since it is part of the mall. However a little bit further parking with a slight walk is no problem for me as there is always parking a little ways down. I dont have a good to snack, but a good rotation for snacks I like is the the nachos, pretzel, or the popcorn! Definitely do love their candy deals too, but I dont always get the candies.

    Inside the theater, the Scream 7 knife display.

    I never go to the movies anymore because like most people I do streaming. But, I am a fan of the Scream franchise, so I went to Harkins Theatres in Cerritos to see Scream 7. There was no line at the box office, we chose our seats and I received a student discount with my college ID. Since I still had time before the movie started, I bought popcorn and a Slurpee at the concession stand. The theatre was clean, I found my seats easily, and there was more than enough trash cans when you exited the theatre. I was hesitant to leave the comfort of my own house because I was afraid it would be too crowded or loud. But, I had a really great time and enjoyed the movie!

    Good location! Came to see the new Super Mario Galaxy movie that everyone and their moms and grandmothers were complaining about (THE MOVIE WAS FINE, GOOD, BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE, IN MY OPINION). I came with a large group of my friends and personally showed up pretty late as the ads started running before the movie started. It was a bit hard to get parking since it's a part of the Cerritos mall and was a Friday evening, so I had to walk a bit. But despite running late, I was able to get in, use the bathroom, and get seated really, really fast.

    Still my FAV theater hands down! Came for the Jane Austen Series they had going on. The recliner seats are unforgettable! (So comfy) Popcorn on point with the laying of butter! Love all the other snack options they have. It's just a great theater with friendly staff. Restrooms are always clean and smell good. Overall, you're just destined to have a solid movie going experience! Love this place so much, fr!

    Love the location. Plenty of parking. Bar area available and comparable prices. Did not like how the concession line is handled. One person taking and filling the orders takes ALOT of time. New movie release with a large audience should have better staffing. I left the line without snacks.

    Ask the Community - Harkins Theatres - Cerritos

    What are Tuesday prices?

    $5, of course.

    Do they bring the food to you at your seats?

    No, this is not a dine-in style theatre

    Is the kids PlayCenter open yet? When are they bringing it back 😭

    Call and ask for yourself

    Is the playroom open again? And are these the kind of seats that going kids fall right through?

    No they not open. Yes and if they fall you will never see them again

    Is it possible to exchange tickets for a later date?

    You can turn your tickets in before the movie begins and then buy tickets for another day. I don't think it works if you missed the shoe and try and turn the tickets in later.

    Is the playroom for kids open?

    No. The playroom is closed

    Can you buy tickets at the counter or can you buy pre-tickets the day before showing at the counter?

    You can do both!

    Can you currently still buy tickets in person at the theater?

    Yes!

    Are they still offering the powder popcorn flavors or was it discontinued due to covid?

    Unfortunately, popcorn flavoring has been discontinued due to covid.

    Where is it located?

    Cerritos. Off the 605 & South street

    Not anymore.

    When will harkins theaters reopen?

    Do the armrest go up?

    They sure do :D

    Do they check bags? And what if you have chips and snacks closed?

    They don't but I don't bring meals in big bags or anything. I just take my tote purse and I bring snacks and drinks for 3 people and I never had an issue with them inspecting my purse.

    How much is the price for early bird on 2D, 3D, and Ciné1?

    Its 11.50 for mat.

    Is there any day where there are specials on prices I have five kids and I am looking for a great deal?

    We have matinee prices before 6PM and offer child tickets all week :D. Hope this helps!

    Can I bring my own food if I can't eat what they offer?

    Hi Tony, No outside food will be permitted to bring in.

    Is the 3rd row too close to the screen? This is the row in front of the wheelchair seating.

    No not at all

    Are all of the auditoriums dolby sound?

    Yes

    Starlight Cinemas is THE ONLY PLACE for me to catch a movie without spending a small fortune…read moreespecially on their bargain days! Parking: Since the theater is located at Lakewood Center, there is plenty of free parking nearby. The lot can get busy during big movie premieres and in the evening or on weekends, but I've never had too much trouble finding a spot within a reasonable walking distance. Food: The concession stand has all the movie essentials fresh popcorn, candy, nachos, hot dogs, and drinks. The prices are pretty reasonable for a movie theater. You can't go wrong with buttery popcorn and an Icee! Ambience: The theater has a relaxed, nostalgic neighborhood movie theater feel. The auditoriums are spacious, the reserved seating makes everything easier, and it's usually clean and comfortable. It may not have all the bells and whistles of some luxury theaters, but it delivers where it counts: a comfortable seat, a big screen, and an enjoyable movie experience. Theater 1 is EPEX with reclined seats however they have updated some of their other rooms with new leather seats. Pricing: This is where Starlight truly shines! They offer $5 in-person movie tickets all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus Sundays before 6 p.m. That is an incredible deal, especially when regular movie tickets at other theaters can easily cost twice as much. Purchasing online includes an additional service fee, so buying your ticket at the theater is the best value. Overall, Starlight Cinemas is a great option for an affordable family outing, date night, or solo movie day. Good parking, classic movie snacks, a comfortable atmosphere, and unbeatable bargain days make this theater worth visiting again and again.

What really stood out was their extensive food menu. My husband and I tried their taquitos, and honestly, they were so tasty! We also got the nachos. My husband gets nachos every single time we go to the movies, and he loved the Hispanic twist they put on these. Beer, good food, and a movie? We were definitely satisfied! They also have signature cocktails inspired by the movies they're showing, which I thought was such a cute touch! We'll definitely be back.

    Even though the theater in Long Beach is my go-to, I went to the theater in Cerritos for a change…read more Actually, the real reason was because I was planning to watch "The End of Oak Street" when it opened because Regal was offering 500 extra credits if you watch that movie during opening weekend. And what a great movie that was! But I won't get into the details*. Just watch it, even if you don't get extra credits. I went on Friday when the movie premiered in theaters. When I got off work on that Friday, I could have caught the 4:50 PM showing at the Cerritos theater or the 6:00 PM showing at the Long Beach theater. Knowing that movie previews would last about a half hour before the actual start of the movie, I chose the earlier time since I was planning to cook dinner at home and didn't want to eat too late. I arrived about a couple of minutes before showtime, and there were just as many customers in front of me. However, they both had trouble opening the Regal app. I was at least able to pull up my Regal Crown Club QR code, though the rewards couldn't be seen on my screen. I knew I had a reward for a free Small drink as well as a free ticket from customer relations, the latter of which is another story I'll withhold from this review. Martin was the employee who rang me up and redeemed both rewards. However, he made a couple of missteps. First, since I got a Small drink, I should have been offered a Medium or Large size for a small upcharge. The Medium is a half dollar more than a Small while a Large is a dollar more than a Small. I was okay with settling for the free Small, but once I saw they offer Pepsi Zero Sugar, I would have been okay paying the extra $1 for a Large, which would have been eligible for a refill. Secondly, Martin mentioned that I could have gotten an Icee drink even though there's another reward for a free Small Icee that is worth 1,000 credits more than the free Small drink. However, knowing that an Icee would have way more sugar than a Pepsi Zero Sugar, I kept at it with the Pepsi Zero Sugar. Even for a Small size, it was a pretty large cup that I can't help but wonder how much larger a Large would have been! But like I said, I was okay with getting the Small. And maybe that was the better decision. I used the restroom before the movie started, and I had to go again when the movie ended. The first time, I used a restroom on the first floor that was single occupant use only. However, they have additional restrooms on the second floor, and those are the community type restrooms. As for during the movie, the auditorium was a rather small one, but had ample space between each row of reclining chairs. I sat at Row D, which was kind of close to the screen, but not nearly as close compared to an auditorium with stadium seating. The seating in this auditorium was mostly flat, but with nobody sitting in front of me, I had no trouble viewing the screen, especially when I reclined the chair as far back as it could go. The picture and sound were great. So great that during one of the scary scenes, I legit thought an earthquake was striking when it was actually the scene in the movie causing such a sudden jolt. And keep in mind, this was only the Standard viewing of the movie; had it been IMAX or even 4DX, I might have jumped out of the chair! lol Overall, it was a good experience watching the movie that I'm keeping my original rating of 4 stars out of 5. Even though it's a little further away from me than the Long Beach theater, I will definitely consider catching the next movie here if the showtimes work better for my schedule. * After the movie, I learned a tragedy had happened to one of the actors from the movie. Hudson Meek, who played one of the human antagonists in "The End of Oak Street", unfortunately passed away in late 2024. He didn't appear in that many scenes, which were filmed much earlier that year, but the posthumous release was dedicated to him. RIP Hudson Meek, gone way too soon :(

When I tried to show my ticket on the app, she told me to zoom in. I couldn't, so I offered to just read it out loud to make things easier. Instead of working with me, she snapped and raised her voice saying she has a hearing aid. Okay... but how does that justify being aggressive and unhelpful? There was zero patience, zero communication, and just an overall hostile attitude the entire interaction. It honestly felt uncomfortable and unnecessary going in the movie. It's frustrating because the theater itself is perfectly fine, but customer service like that completely kills the experience. I shouldn't feel like I'm bothering someone just to watch a movie. Wouldn't come back unless they seriously improve how they treat customers at the front.

    I haven't been here in years. So I decided to go with gf in tow, on a Saturday night, for 8:10pm…read moreshowing I did remember to come early to get a good spot to park. 39 minutes early is the latest to come. Otherwise you will be waiting in a huge line and may be fighting for a good spot, so you can be far away from the we*d smokers or smokers of any kind, if you are a nonsmoker like we are . Prices are still cheap. Only $14 for general admission (12 and older). Way better than walk in theater general admission prices. Pretty sure ticket prices are cash. So make sure you have cash for tickets. We came to see Mortal Kombat II. Which was amazing. I never saw the first movie. But you don't have to have seen the first to follow this movie. One reason I wanted to see this movie is Mortal Kombat II is my favorite video game (SNES) version of the MK video games. The best place to see an action movie is on the massive drive-in theater movie screen. Not Imax, etc. So we went here. Another great thing about drive in theaters is you can bring your own food and you can have privacy with your date inside your vehicle, if you know what I mean . Just have privacy glass. Because a family of kids can be parked next to your vehicle. If you want, you can bring chairs and sit outside your vehicle and watch. Which is also a great choice. Especially if you have kids. They will love sitting outside. If you do sit outside, bring a coat, blanket, etc. It gets cold at night. The concession is cheap af and not like walk in movie theater prices. For example, their large popcorn is huge. Yet its only $10 with taxes. We got ours with extra butter. They offer a lot of other good stuff too at great prices. But we only wanted warm popcorn with extra butter. I saw some raggedy ATM machines in there. Not sure if concession got them there so you can use cash to buy food. But I didn't ask as I already had some cash on me to buy popcorn. So make sure you bring cash for concession as well. Make sure you vehicle radio can tune to 90.1 FM and you can leave it on without it draining your battery and without parking/headlights being activated. It drives us movie goers crazy when some foolish person will turn on their headlights while everyone else is trying to enjoy the film. Also, if you need a radio for showing, you can buy one from them for $20 at concession. Great experience here. I love this place. Like I said, I havent been here in like 6 years. Last time I was here, one ticket paid for double feature. Which was a steal. Because after Mortal Kombat II, I was looking forward to seeing Michael again. Which we already saw at a walk in theater. But we were ready to see it again on the biggest screen ever. They dont do double features anymore. So if the website shows two movies, dont misread like I did. It clearly says: "TICKETS ARE FOR A SINGLE SHOW TIME ONLY." I was wondering why everyone was leaving after Mortal Kombat II was over . We stayed in vehicle until security drove by and told us they only do single features. We weren't the only ones he had to tell. Great experience here. Cant wait to see another larger than life movie here.

    Super disappointed that they've ruined the drive inn experience. It's not a double feature anymore…read more 1 movie for $14 is outrageous.
