So me and my family came to watch Mortal Kombat 2. And the only bad thing I can say is the contrast and the brightness of the movie was crap. And the chairs were comfortable just wished they would recline. read more

New Barstow Station Cinema - Mortal Kombat 2 - Cinema Near Me - Barstow, California

The customer service that we received was fine. The snacks from the concessions were passable. The scary movie that we watched titled "the monkey" was entertaining, but the seats of the theater were very uncomfortable, old, raggedy and did not recline whatsoever. Not to mention the theater reeked of an offensive odor that members of my party suspected mold be the source of. I love going to the movies. But if I ever had to make a pitstop in Barstow again, I would never, ever visit this theater again. I love to support local businesses, especially small businesses when at home or abroad. But if I'm being honest, the entire movie going experience at "New Barstow station Cinema" is subpar and waaay too low budget for my standards. read more

I really like this place. It is a little old fashioned and the recliners no longer work but its not as packed as other cinemas. Overall the staff were very friendly read more

This movie theater is just okay. Keep in mind this is in Barstow and the only theater in town. The theater itself is very dated with stains all over the carpet. They did upgrade their seating to lounge seats that are standard in almost every cinema now; however, the recline feature on the seats do not work. The picture quality of the film was not great and incredibly dim. The snack bar has all the traditional offerings such as popcorn, hotdogs, pretzels, icees, soda, candy and ice cream. The popcorn was not bad at all! read more

New Barstow Station Cinema - Outside of theater. - Cinema Near Me - Barstow, California

A phone was lost and we were looking for it, and it was turned off. It was dark and we were looking under the chairs. One person came out to help look, but she tried, though she couldn't find it though she used her really nice nails and hair to lay on the floor to look underneath, which was amazing for her to do. We looked around for a half an hour, and then a guy named Tim that had a flashlight on his head, came out and noticed that the phone was trapped under the seat, even though we've picked up the seat several times, but he was able to find it in deeper under the seat. Besides being helpful, they have delicious food and we always eat the popcorn,hotdogs, and pretzels that they always have for us. Every time we go out to see the movies and the chairs are comfortable, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Sometimes when we buy too much food, they help us out and bring the food to us.. they even have a popcorn deal that you can use a card for the year. read more

This place is awesome! The popcorn is good but the icee is to hard to drink but, still great place! read more

Can't understand how this theater stays open! NOT ONE of reclining chairs actually reclines - that is a major issue for people whose feet don't touch the floor when they sit down for a 3 hour movie. NO low level lighting, pitch black when you entered the theater - this is a safety hazard. NO awareness or interest on the part of the manager - who said "Yes, we have reclining seats but they DO NOT recline." Said "Have a nice evening" when we said we were leaving before the movie even started because of the conditions. The condition of the entire facility was deplorable and the theater chain's website misleads you on what you'll find at D'place in Barstow. Would recommend not going to this theater until the owner takes appropriate actions. A real disservice to the people of Barstow and travelers coming through. read more

The only thing I can say about this movie theater is that, it's there. If you have no other choice for entertainment, it is definitely somewhere to go. Most of the chairs don't work. read more

This place was the dirtiest and most disgusting theater I've ever seen. The theater had spilled drinks down the chairs that was dried up, trash stuffed in and around the chairs. Food all over the floors. We thought that maybe we got there too early so they didn't clean yet after a show. When we asked the person at the concesión stand about the debris she went in with a broom & was only there a few minutes. All she did was sweep a little. But then when the lights went on briefly it was so disgusting. All the chairs were torn, coming apart, none of the recliners even reclined. Our kid didn't want to even sit on the seats so sat on our lap because it was so gross. It was her birthday and we drove 30 min. so it was too late to ask for a refund. But we will never return!!! There was a homeless debris outside and all the carpet was torn out of the place. They seem to be completely under staffed too. It now makes since why they didn't have lights on or dimmed until we mentioned something. They didn't want people to easily see how gross it was. Also we paid the same price for this as a nice theater and nothing was clean, sanitary, working, safe and even misleading. read more

Great spot to bring the kids to the movies. It has a older, tiny feel to it. They offer concessions (my kids devoured the popcorn) and we had no complaints. I was hesitant after reading some of the other reviews but it was a perfect spot for us. We enjoyed the movie and had a great time. read more

Smells like feet really bad inside also had no butter for popcorn!?? The screen was big that's why I'm rating 2 stars

Old school theater, like you went back to the 1970's and just when you start to freak out you realize that they have modern movies, good popcorn and decent service. So at first I was kind of pissed because they don't except American currency. I mean they do but only some of the bills that the rest of the world uses. Nothing larger then a $20.00 to be exact. Then you go in to the time warp or the lobby and you find the concession stand. The nice man behind the counter will butter your popcorn for you. He will also provide you with a medium popcorn for a dollar more, what a deal. Then we ordered a slurpy, or I guess it's actually Icy. You get a slurpy at 7/11. Anyways, back to my time travel story. So we go looking for our theater and there are red doors with little white sighs above them. I posted pics but you could also watch the classic movie from the 1970s starring Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn, "Foul Play" I swear this theater was remodeled to look just like the one where Scotty gets killed by the albino. Enough of the visual aids. We walk in to the theater and it's literally a small room with the big TV on the wall. I mean not really, it's bigger than a TV but it's like a small theater in someone's house. The seats are old-school and the sound system I swear was removed from the demo wall at the old Rado Shack we pass on Route 66. The movie was still really good and if I was in Barstow staying the night again I would definitely go back to this theater because it wasn't really that bad, it's just old school. Actually, if you're in Barstow for the night you should come here because it's kind of like a treat to see what the 70s was all about. So I'm calling out to all my YELP friends to visit Barstow's newest movie theater. Tell them Costa Mesa Dave sent you!! read more

They're back OPEN!!! I've been missing the movies so much this year what a treat to drive by and see the place is back open. Current rules are that the place is open at 50% capacity and once seated you don't have to wear masks. In the afternoon we were far from fighting a crowd to get seats. read more

I'm not sure why it's still called The New Barstow Station Cinema, since the seats are at least 20 years old, and the "Old" theater burned down in the late 1980's. New-ish paint job inside, good prices for tickets and concessions , but some of the clientele still jabber throughout the movie. This is why I generally go elsewhere. Paying a bit more to keep the riff-raff out is soooooo worth it! read more

Worst movie theater everrrrrrrrr!!!!! If I could rate this place a negative I would ! I was so itchy in this place my legs and arms from the dirty dusty seats:/ the sound was horrible ! You hear everyone chewing and every move they make . The ground is level so if you have small children they won't be able to see over anyone tall.... the popcorn is horrible nothing like a real movie theater! This town needs help this theater is NASTY! Last but not least no toilet paper in the bathroom ugh I don't recommend it ! Good luck! read more

Small, old theater. The prices of tickets and concessions are high, but what theater doesn't commit highway robbery with their prices. It's par for the course, so no worries for me there. However, the size and layout were issues. The size problem comes into play when you consider how close the lobby is to a few of the theaters, and the fact that the noise from loud, inconsiderate patrons and employees in the lobby carries very well, even while the doors are closed. Its an old theater, so the doors are in close proximity to the rear-most seats. Try to sit closer to the front if you don't want a constant barrage of distractions from employees and fellow patrons going in and out. (Note: I'm small, so I experienced no difficulties with the seating-spread-to-theater-size ratio.) That considered, if you picked a seat where you won't be bothered by continual foot traffic, try to ignore the sounds carrying through from neighboring theaters. The noise will be pretty damn clear during the quieter parts of your film, so try to pick a film that doesn't contain a whole lot of quiet dialogue or suspense-building. Overall, my opinion: if you want an immersive cinematic experience, either pick a different theater, or rent the movie and watch it on your couch. read more

It's a small theater. But shows the recent movies and even for Star Wars there was more than one room that was showing for the first showing of the movie. Been there more than once and is always clean. Staff is friendly and movie ticket prices are fair. On the other hand snacks and all that are movie theater snacks, always expensive. read more

Been here once to see a movie though It may be a small theater but it has potential the ticket prices are reasonable and so is the concession stands as well. read more

This place needs to learn the law, fortunately I plan on teaching them. Allow me to explain. Earlier today I attempted to go see "Ghostbusters". I am disabled and have a Service Animal. The cashier asked if my dog was a service animal, I advised her yes. But then I got the "we need to see paperwork". Then they called the GM who said without a Service Dog vest (it was 107 degrees out) they would not let me in. This was humiliating, and extremely ignorant... And ILLEGAL. Per FEDERAL LAW (ADA): " When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task" Regarding requiring a vest/paperwork: Q8. Do service animals have to wear a vest or patch or special harness identifying them as service animals? A. No. The ADA does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag, or specific harness. CALIFORNIA LAW REGARDING INTERFERENCE Section 54.3(a), Penalty for interference "Any person or persons, firm or corporation who denies or interferes with admittance to or enjoyment of the public facilities as specified in Sections 54 and 54.1 or otherwise interferes with the rights of an individual with a disability under Sections 54, 54.1 and 54.2 is liable for each offense for the actual damages and any amount as may be determined by a jury, or the court sitting without a jury, up to a maximum of three times the amount of actual damages but in no case less than one thousand dollars ($1,000), and attorney's fees as may be determined by the court in addition thereto, suffered by any person denied any of the rights provided in Sections 54, 54.1, and 54.2. "Interfere," for purposes of this section, includes, but is not limited to, preventing or causing the prevention of a guide dog, signal dog, or service dog from carrying out its functions in assisting a disabled person."

Cheap place to see a matinee - only $6.00. Seating is not amphitheater, but straight. You can hear a lot of what is going on in control room and, if the door isn't closed, the neighboring movie as well. Large coke and candy for $8.00! Can't beat it!! read more

So me and my friends went here last night to see the Transformers 2 film. First of all, the actual theatre is beyond dissapointing, its hot and most of the time its dirty. So i wasn't happy to pay $8.25. We got inside and we decided that we were all thirsty, so we went and bought some icees which are an outrageous $4.75, its not even that much at a gas station. All of the items at the snack bar are way expensive! Before the movie started we had to go to the bathroom, so we went and the bathrooms weren't dirty but they smelled SO BAD!! my friends are girls, so the girls and boys bathroom both smelling horrid at the same time is not a coincidence. When we actually got into the theatre our movie was supposed to start at 9:40, they couldn't get the picture on the screen until about five minutes after 10:00. This place is alright to go see a movie every once in a while, but its defiantly not somewhere i would like to spend all my time. read more

It's very old and small yet clean. Snack bar is pretty cheap and the employees are nice. Not a theater I would choose to go to on a date night, but it's a good place to take the kids on the weekend. read more

Danny R.: the new ownership made the difference prices are great, the staff courteous, the snack prices are quite fair
