    Went to a screening of Oppenheimer at the IMAX HQ, and had the MAXIMUM amount of fun. The lobby was decorated in an elegant holiday bliss of blues, and definitely brought with it that holiday cheer! The movie itself was immaculate, and though I had seen the film before, it was so intense and other worldly in the IMAX theater. Will definitely be back for another screening. A massive thank you to the host and staff for being attentive and kind.

    WooHOO!

    Beautiful, clean theatre for FYC screenings in IMAX format. Just wish the screen was larger. lol Gender neutral bathrooms and complimentary parking and snacks/beverages for FYC events. Friendly staff and organized check in with vacc'd check.

    Me and a +1 were invited for the Fast X private screening event this week. The event was chill with music, food and some green screen fun. All of the staff were courteous and friendly. Parking was right next to the IMAX HQ. The lobby was modern and open spaced. Loved viewing the posters on the walls. The screen looked like it was about 3 stories tall. I'm not exactly sure. Thank goodness for popcorn!!! I haven't watched a movie without munchies and was surprised to see those stacked popcorn bags. It was fun to watch with the crowd. Overall the staff did a great job in entertaining and hosting us.

    For my 1000th review (Finally!) I am dedicating it to the IMAX Corporation Headquarter in Playa Del Rey. It is brand new, 3 story, and have 2 screening rooms, offices, production facilities for moviemakers. I was lucky among a few others that were invited here for an intimate screening. It is a small IMAX theaters that holds about 60-70 people max per screening room. The clarity in sound and the view of the IMAX screen are almost to perfection. Leather seats and lots of leg room. You feel like you're at an IMAX theater, if not even better experience. The office is modern and chic. The heart of the building is there is an interior amphitheater under a skylight. The area is used as the hub of the facility where employees can interact with their clients or with their colleagues during work hours. This area seems to accommodate impromptu gatherings and special events held by the company. Other than occasional screenings, and special events this theater is for viewing purposes for the celebrities, moviemakers, and producers/directors before the final movie goes out in the market. We were told that Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and other A-listed industry people have been numerous times for the final viewing of the movie before it goes out to the movie market.

    This place is awesome. I was one of a lucky few to be invited to watch a screening of Mission In Impossible Rogue nation and I felt really special watching it at this state of the art theater. This is a private screening facility which is used by most movie studios for directors and staff of movie companies to watch at pre screen upcoming movies. The inside has only around 50-60 seats in total so its really a small theater but the movie screen is still really big for such a small audience. The sound system is of course IMAX certified so everything is state of the art and every pin drop in the movie can be heard. The seats are all new and very comfortable so its a real pleasure watching a un released movie first in a IMAX corporate offices private movie theater. I had a great time and I would definitely go back if I am ever invited again for another movie screening.

    What an amazing experience! This is the actual IMAX corporation, and I was lucky enough to see a screening of a movie in 3D. The screening room seats about 100. The seats are comfortable, with lots of leg room and at the perfect pitch. Even though the room was fairly small, the screen was still basically ceiling to floor. The acoustics and picture quality were, of course, state of the art. Watching an IMAX movie here was actually better than in a conventional movie theater.

    WOW! Saw the Magnificent 7 here and felt like I was in the movie! The screen was huge/tall and the seats were set up like we were on a steep mountainside. It's also freezing in there so bring a sweater and socks and shoes. I saw the film a few days later at the Imax theater in Ontario Mills and it wasn't the same? I felt like they didn't utilize the whole screen at the Edwards at Ontraio Mills, but great film none-the-less!

At a recent showing, I ordered the Culver Combo and the popcorn was almost entirely small, crumbly fragments, the tiny broken bits you'd normally find at the very bottom of the bag. It was basically impossible to eat. I got a refill halfway through, assuming I'd just gotten the ends of a batch, but the replacement scoop from a fresh machine was no better. On top of the texture, the popcorn also just doesn't taste good. it had a slightly burnt taste every single time. 2) About an hour into every movie, it becomes obvious there's no AC or fan running. I wouldn't be surprised if a CO2 monitor showed elevated levels. I've flagged this to staff on all three visits, and each time turning on the AC fixed it immediately, but it's never on by default. Sitting in a hot, stale theater for two hours is genuinely unpleasant, and the difference in air quality the moment you step into the hall is obvious. I really want to like this theater, it's a local business and I'd rather support it than a big chain but I won't be returning unless these issues are addressed/fixed.

Before the show, I make sure to arrive early and indulge in a glass of wine at the bar. It's a delightful ritual that sets the tone for the evening. Austyn and Martha, the bartenders, are always there to greet me with my usual glassware, ensuring that I have everything I need. Their friendly banter and Martha's infectious laughter create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Austyn's expertise with the shaker is truly impressive. Even though I'm just a wine enthusiast, but watching him craft a cocktail is always a delightful experience. It's like witnessing a culinary masterpiece in action. Martha, on the other hand, seems to know everyone. She speaks to everyone, even when she should probably be doing something else, and engages on a personal level. When she's not there, I hear people ask for her by name and get all mopey when she's not around. You don't get that kind of response by being mediocre. Overall, this is always a warm and inviting experience (unless there's a kids' movie release, which is not their fault). I encourage everyone to experience it at least once and make the decision for themselves.

    Austyn was amazing! Made my experience even better! Amazing service, quick drink in my hand. 10/10…read morerecommend

    I had a very disappointing experience at Cinemark. I went to watch Obsession with my group, which…read moreincluded two adults who are both 24 years old. The manager refused to let us in because some members of our group were underage, even though we had adults present. I've been to other theaters where anyone under 17 is allowed to enter an R-rated movie when accompanied by someone 21 or older, so the situation was confusing. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She was dismissive and rude when speaking to us. To make matters even more concerning, I personally saw a group of white teenagers enter without having their IDs checked, while our group--which consisted of four Latinos and one Black person--was scrutinized and turned away. And I will be honest 2 people were under 17 but it still does not change the fact that the lady was being racist. I can't say for certain what motivated the different treatment, but from what I witnessed, it felt unfair and inconsistent. Customers deserve to be treated with respect and have theater policies applied equally to everyone. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at this Cinemark. I won't give the theater less stars because I been here multiple times and the staff has been nice so the whole establishment does not deserve to take onto what the lady did.

This location used to be called The Bridge, and way, way before that was an IMAX. Since this review is concerning the theatre itself, once inside I recognized the bottom portion of the old theatre, with the old top portion now seemingly gone. The CSA of this experience was Zarriah-pictured. She was a kind hearted lady who took my ticket, and directed me toward my particular theater house, but not before spending a good 10-12 minutes explaining the on going construction and planned new looks for this location. Thanks Zarriah-your a credit to the Cinemark brand.

    It's worth watching movies here!…read more They match the ambience and cocktails to the movie that they are going to be showing. When you choose seats further back, you can capture the screen experience better on your phone. When you choose seats closer to the front, the movie experience is wonderful, and it cannot be captured by phone. It is a very in the moment experience. They do check your tickets because there are a lot of people trying to sit in seats they didn't pay for. As for food and drinks, everything has been great so far, we've tried the: KOREAN CORN CHEESE NACHOS MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PITA HIBISCUS MARGARITA TROPIC HEAT MARGARITA Except, the SPICY CHEDDAR POPCORN, it's not spicy at all and it is delicious. My only qualm is that the powder used is very light so it goes up your nose very easily and it is very aggravating to the nose and throat. If you hear someone coughing, this is probably why. If you are coming to for the bar experience, it is scary when they open the doors and everyone is running in to get seats and tables. It kind of has the rush of a Black Friday feeling. Still worth it! Very fun watching a game here too!

    It's been a long time since I've been to the movies, especially a place like this. I've been to…read morethis type of luxury theatre many years ago and it's definitely a good way to treat yourself. My son has been wanting to see Devil Wears Prada 2 and the first one is one of his favorite movies of all time. Personally, I don't like that movie but I went along with him. Tickets are $25 each and they have a $4 parking garage, but we were lucky enough to get a free after-hour meter on the street. It's a nice place and it seems like comfort is their top priority. The recliner chairs are extremely comfy and come with a blanket in case you get cold. You know how movie theaters are always chilly. Once you get settled, you can press a button that sends an employee over to take your order. It's completely optional. We got one small popcorn (light butter, $6) which was big enough for both of us. I like this idea of having the option of ordering and dining at your seat while watching a movie, but the reality is a bit different. It's kind of annoying to see the employees coming and going when someone needs a refill or places a new order during the movie. You can hear them talking and they can even block your view. It's frustrating when you are trying to focus. With that being said, I think it has more pros than cons. There are bars and bathrooms located across the several floors and the one we went to was exceptionally clean. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this theatre. I prefer something more standard like AMC or Pacific Theatres (RIP!)...

Last week, we attended a showing of Toy Story 5 at the theater. We learned that not only is the new ownership not offering food service during the transition but intends to abandon that amenity altogether. This is among the most foolish decisions that could be made from a business perspective and will undoubtedly result in a total loss on the owners' investment. The building has a gigantic kitchen going to waste. The screens are small, and the ticket prices are high. The sole reason people have chosen this theater over the numerous options (e.g. Century City AMC) is its special quality of in-theater dining and expanded, up-scale fare. It is absurd that the owners are trying to spin this as an improvement, claiming this unique feature has been "retired in favor of elevated food & beverage offerings -- designed to enhance your cinematic experience by reducing service-related noise, light and other distractions." No amount of polishing to the menu at the tavern will offset the loss of clientele brought on by the abandonment of the in-theater dining option. The owners need only look to the onslaught of terrible reviews streaming in across Yelp and Google or the consensus of complaints in the Reddit community to understand the extent to which this misguided approach will devalue their investment. They will certainly be losing our business until this irrational new approach is reversed.
