I will even say that it's better than Disneyland because you don't have to wait in line and you get just about the same ride time as a whole day at the park. I've watched Avatar and now Spiderman in 4DX and it's just so much fun. The seats move, there's air effects, smoke effects, and strobe lights throughout the theatre. It's really next level movie viewing experience. Parking is validated with a stamp at the theatre for 4 hours or if you forget, you can show them your ticket stub at the exit. Only thing is that I wish they had the customizable soda machines that they have at other movie theatres.

This is one of my favorite theaters. Sadly, this was not…read morethe best visit. First, while somewhat helpful, we couldn't hear our cashier speaking. And he forgot part of the order:( Later, after confirming they do provide a refill on the large popcorn, and thinking my parents would appreciate snack leftovers, I again stood in a long line, and asked for the refill. Well, unlike their competitor, they don't tear off the top corner. They take your whole bag. So if you haven't eaten all your popcorn, too bad. If you didn't have your normal "crowd" with you this time to eat everything in one sitting, and if you didn't bring your own plastic bag, forget it. You just paid a lot for that one serving. So a tad loss of a "benefit" (which could be construed as rip off #1). I understand, it's a benefit, they have the right. It just gives off that yucky vibe. After the movie, my friend wanted to buy the Moana Glitter Cups which include the drinks. However, you need to put the drinks in the cups - which 1) are out in the public, unsanitary, touched and opened by interested children and customers, and yes, they were already sticky (ewww!); and 2) they sure aren't washing it for you, but 3) Yay, you do get the straw in a sealed wrapper at the cashier. Clean straws don't help if the cups are not . So she bought two beverages/cups without the paid benefit of two beverages. Which can be construed as loss of a "benefit", or rip off #2. The cashier said this new policy recently went into effect a few months ago. So sad to hear this, it's extremely unsanitary - and not a great welcoming look, vibe, or customer experience. Last time I came here, they were sanitary enough about the fancy buckets we paid extra for...? Again, those were all out in the open and touched by many as well. I'm thinking Regal at Dole, please do better. I was so disappointed today. Spent a lot and was told no to everything. Not one "yes" for a positive customer service experience. (Hope no one gets sick from this, because the cups are pretty, customers are interested, and seriously, one of her lids had also been unscrewed.) The movie was good, though.

I always loved watching movies. Sometimes in the movie, the scene takes place at a drive-in. Never…read moredid I ever dream I would go to a drive-in and watch a movie. When we heard our neighbors went to the Aloha Drive-In to watch a movie, we said we needed to do that! So glad we did! Customers can order from Raising Cane's. When Aloha Drive-In first started, customers can place their order online. The staff will bring the online orders to the car. However, when we arrived tonight, the movie crew did not hand out Raising Cane's order form. Instead the movie crew set up a small concession stand at the left of the screen. Customers can bring their own food and drinks if they like. I spoke to someone who helped to put the theater production together. He said that the company may get a bigger screen to show the movies. But that depends on the budget. Drive-Ins pave the way to bring people together. Families come to the drive-in to watch movies together. This provides a good way to have family time.

Place is AWESOME!!! I totally forgot about this location for events too! Shoots!…read more They can hold over 300 people sitting side by side for a screening, move or even music or dancing. But they can also rearrange a sitting arrangement so there is open areas for people to stand and mingle. Then they have the lounge area. That's our favorite! The couches are enormous and the set up is immaculate! They had floor walkers and escorts who helped everyone find seats or direct them where to go. That's as a good thing. Usually m, people have to figure out what to do or where to go at these events, no?! Lol. But this was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was AWESOME! Of course my son didn't want to watch himself on screen, but, we all loved it! He did well. In fact, they ALL DID! Every single film was done excellent! I wish we could've stayed for the whole thing, but unfortunately we had to leave early because the kids had school the next day. So we left around 9pm. Maybe next time we'll have a better chance in watching our son on screen again. Soon! For sure... Ok that's about it! OH! And the restroom! Oh my... it's an experience to have. Lol! It's amazing! One door for ALL to enter. Then as you pass the main door, your in the lobby of the restroom. Like they have in fancy theaters or auditoriums or hotels. Yup! Only difference is, there's no seats or chairs to lounge on. There's a long marble counter top with about 5 individual sinks. Each side accessible for anyone to wash up. Mirrors along the wall. And then the MENS DOOR for their restroom is on the left and the WOMENS on the right. Ever the bathroom stalls were cozy. Toilet seats were nice and comfy, not those public restroom toilets. But the hotel kine. Just without the extra fancy buttons. It's definitely somewhere anyone should go and see. Especially when they host an event there. OK NOW IM DONE! Thanks for reading! Have a good one! A hui hou MALAMA PONO and

This Courtyard is like a chameleon!…read more It becomes an outdoor ice Skating Rink in the Hawaiian "winter"; changes into a open-air movie theater on the second Thursday of the month when the weather is warmer; and converts to a concert venue on the third Wednesday of the month during the spring, summer, and autumn. At other times, people enjoy this space as a Yoga studio/art gallery. Ward Village makes really good use of this area. Chairs are set up for the movies and concerts. A gigantic tent is erected when the weather is suggesting rain. Otherwise, the audience enjoys gentle trade winds, silhouettes of palm trees, and views of fluffy clouds, gorgeous sunsets, and sometimes... the silvery moon. There's a water feature on the far side of the courtyard, so if the sound bothers you, sit nearer to the entrance and away from the wall. Most events are free - just look for the community events online and print out your tickets! If the event you're interested in is a Brunch, the fee will be posted an you'll get a chance to try specialties of local restaurants, using a ticket system. There's ample free parking nearby and a beautiful, clean restroom on the ground floor of the "IBM Building". The co-ed sinks are a great idea for efficient use of this facility! Check it out!!!

The nearest theater to us was Consolidated Theaters, located at the Kahala Mall! If I'm being honest, this theatre is pretty old and dilapidated! There was a funky smell in the air as soon as you walked into the theater (old and moldy). The paint on the railings as you walked up the stairs to the theaters was peeling off and rusty (not aesthetically appealing at all). Service was quick and easy. Prices were reasonable ($15 per adult). And the popcorn was about the only thing that was fresh and good, sadly! I will say, the seats were very comfortable! We had leather seats that reclined and personal cup holders to place our beverages (that was pretty awesome). The movie itself was the real highlight of our experience. Spider-Man Brand New Day was the best one ever! Can't wait for the sequel... oopsy! Spoiler alert!

"Crazy Rich Asians"…read more I saw this fantastic movie four times prior to this! I went with different friends in Kaneohe, Honolulu, and in California! Each time was enjoyable and thought provoking! So...when my friend, Amy M., suggested that we see this movie AGAIN, I said "yes" right away! I had been to this venue several times before this. I knew the drill... go early and park for free across the street at South Shore Market in Ward Village, then stand in line outside the gate to the IBM Courtyard. The gate is supposed to open at 6pm. That's why we aimed to be there at 5pm because the seating is first come, first served, except for the HIFF (Hawaii International Film Festival) members. They get a special line and enter first. The walk-in people get in last. There are monitors who decide when to start the next row of people when the line gets too long. The monitors also check tickets and distribute wristbands. This Valentine's Day evening was rainy, so a tent was in place. There was also a table filled with bags of complimentary popcorn for each guest! The comfy sofas in the front were reserved for people who won VIP Seats via an Instagram contest! We were early enough to sit on the slightly padded wooden folding chairs in the first row on the right side. The middle section's front row had reserved seating for the HIFF Members. The movie started around 7pm when it was dark enough. Overall, this is a unique venue because of the cool Hawaiian trade winds. In the summer, when it's not raining, there's no tent - which allows a beautiful view of the sunset colors in the sky! The fancy restroom is convenient. Food trucks and restaurants are nearby so you can bring your food in and enjoy a totally wonderful experience!

This series of free movie showings is perfect for families, friends, and even going solo!…read more Tips: Bring jackets/blankets. Some people even brought umbrellas (worth it during the rainy months). Bring your own snacks and beverages! Check-in starts at 6pm. The actual showing begins at 7pm. When you get your bracelet upon checking in, get yourself a seat then you can go in and out (grab a poke bowl from Paina!) Seats start filling EARLY, at least for Free Solo (maybe it was particularly popular?). If you have a big group, get there around 6pm.
