    Excellent viewing venue
    Nathan R.

    Had a great time to see the new transformers movie! Excellent sound really stood out! Can't wait to come see another movie here!

    He's making a list, and checking it twice ganna find out if your on it or not. That's exactly what the gate keeper does, checks his list. This invite only theater, Located on the Paramont Studios lot on Melrose sits a beautiful 500 plus seat venue for movie screenings. Today was Hercules. Yaaay baby!! The seats are comfy cozy and huge. Two of me can fit in one, well at least one and a half of me. Seats don't recline, armrest does not go up. But they are comfy and allow for a good view of the screen ahead. Thou shall not eat inside. Nope, no food or drink allowed inside. Parking is great. Enter the gates at the main entrance. Show the gate keeper your id card, and he checks his list and in return gives you your paper ticket. When you leave, he takes it back. Screening was at 2:30pm, we arrived at the gates at 2:27. Someone was on Filipino time and we left the OC at 1:40 on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty cool venue. Happy for the invite from my yelper friend who doesn't yelp. She rocks!!!

    I wish all movie theaters can be as nice as this one. "sigh" It just has everything you look for in order to enjoy a perfect movie watching experience. The chairs are large and the most comfiest movie theater seats my rear end has ever come in contact with. The theater is in pristine condition, there are no stains on the seats from spilled food or drinks. Great sound and even though there is only one screen, they are able to project 3D films. Movies are NEVER interrupted, as all guest are courteous with silenced phones and no screaming babies. The bathroom has multiple stalls so you don't have to wait, and also kept very clean. I haven't event seen a stray paper towel on the floor or counters. I have a friend that hooks me up with the free movies so if you can get the hook up to see a movie here I say jump on that opportunity!

    Good times were had by all! Attended a special event for the American Horror Story Screening * For Your Consideration. Such comfy chairs in the theater! And even though we sat all way back, we still enjoyed great pictures and sound for the hour long screening, followed by Q&A. Afterwards, an open and buffet of pork sliders, fries, corn dogs and burritos greeted us. Although the lines were long, hubby and I enjoyed ourselves sipping on champagne and a sinful Cotton Candy treat b4 dinner. Oh and there was a table of mini glazed donuts for those who needed a snack while in line. Isn't it nice to be adults and have dessert before dinner, hehe! The fire guy put on quite a show. As did the snake dancers. Would love to come back on the Paramount lot for more fun events!

    Friday night, I came here for the 3D Screening of Ghost in the Shell (Scarlett Johansson movie), courtesy of Jack J., (thanks again! :) The movies here are through invite only. Once I arrived at the gates, I gave my driver's license to the security guard, while he checked me in on the guest list, and then issued me my e-ticket, and directed me over to the FREE, self-parking lot, yay! I got here a little early, and was able to meet up with Jack for a bit (he was still working), and had time to grab a quick drink at Coffeebean, which is located at the opposite end, walking away from Paramount Theatre. As mentioned by Jack, the Café Studio (eatery)/Coffeebean here - EVERYTHING CLOSES at 6pm on the dot, and so if you're here before 6pm, you can at least grab a quick bite to eat or drink. I ended up going to Coffeebean, and gotten a Chocolate Dream latte. Sorry kiddies, there's no Starbucks here! Side Note: There is a huge Pokémon spawn in front of Coffeebean, and so I was able to nab a Pikachu before heading back to the theatre, hehe! Once I got back to the theatre, I killed some time with taking pictures, and more Pokemon hunting. The theatre is located in front of a giant water fountain, and the left side sit the famous Forrest Gump bench. (Another side note: there's two Pokestops in front of the theatre). There's also tons of surrounding picnic tables for you to to sit at. It was a beautiful, and cool Friday night to be there. Since he was busy with his boss, and so I ended up going into the theatre myself. Even though on the ticket, it says stay with your host, I just went in by myself with my e-ticket, and it was a breeze. I came in, got my 3D glasses from the ushers, and used the restroom before the movie started. Afterwards, I sat at the very top center. I love sitting at the very top, while observing the sea of people conversating with each other, or playing on their phone before the movie started. Jack later found me, and apologize, and I was fine with it. As long as the ushers didn't give me grief for going in alone, it's all good. NO FOOD OR DRINKS inside the theatre. You can bring a water bottle in - I saw some folks did. It's clean, spacious and nicely AC inside. The seats are plushy too, yay!!! The only one gripe I had with this place was the heavy duty, rubbery 3D glasses, especially, the nose area. I guess I ended up with a dirty one because it kept irritating the bridge of my nose, and throughout the 2 hour movie, I ended up having to hold it away from my nose. I miss wearing the lightweight, plastic ones they pass out at AMC or Edwards. Overall, it was a cool place to check out the 3D Ghost in the Shell movie. Despite the nose irritation, I had a good time!

    I didn't get to watch a movie here, but I watched like 20958035 movie trailers...Including some 3D trailers for upcoming releases. As the other reviewers say and as you'd imagine, the theater is awesome! Big, clean, and while you couldn't bring food in, I went for an event so there was a ton of finger food in the main lobby thing (+a lot of random swag). If somehow I get to watch a movie here I'll be sure to update with more theater-specific experiences (maybe P.S. Giftshop closes at like 6pm :(

    Private screening for only about 20 people :)

    I'm so glad that classic movie theaters are still around and The Vista Theatre is one of them…read more Owned by Quentin Tarantino, this theatre thrives with current and past motion pictures! I had to see Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" at this theater in Los Feliz. You could pay at the box office or order your tickets on the website. I bought my ticket online and just had my QR code scanned at the theater entrance by an employee with an iPad. Walked into the lobby and joined the line for the concessions stand. There is popcorn, candy, soft drinks and also adult beverages: beer and wine. After getting my popcorn I walked into the huge theater and it was amazing. Egyptian style architecture, a huge closed red curtain that hides the screen and the seats a comfortable with ample leg room. The same employee that scanned my online ticket came to the front of the movie screen and greeted us with a warm hello, introduced the film, told us proper movie etiquette (no filming or taking pictures of the movie and to please take your trash out with you when you leave the theater) and let us know there was 15 minutes of previews including a Bugs Bunny cartoon. So cool! Will definitely come back to watch more movies here!

    My family and friends attended movie night at the Rooftop Cinema Club in DTLA for the first time…read more What an AMAZING and FUN experience. The event organizers did a FANTASTIC job, as guests were all commenting on how much fun they had all night long. Parking is available across the street in a private, fenced but unsupervised parking lot. Lighting is great, and there are numerous very bright lights throughout the lot. The venue where the movie was shown is on the fourth floor of the Level Hotel located on 9th Street and Olive Street in downtown Los Angeles. Guests are not allowed in the outdoor seating area until sixty minutes before showtime. Once upstairs, you are free to sit anywhere, as seating is first come, first served. Guests sit on very comfortable, padded Adirondack chairs that event organizers provide. The view of the screen, the sound, and the overall atmosphere are fun, relaxed, and positive. Guests are handed a headset to listen to the movie, and/or the surround sound speakers are on for those choosing not to use the headset. There is a snack bar offering hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, popcorn, ice cream, and several other snacks on one side and alcoholic beverages on the opposite side. Clean and convenient restrooms are within walking distance from the outdoor seating area. Guests as young as 16 are allowed in, and 21 and over if you plan to have an alcoholic beverage (or two). Different movies, both current and older, are shown nightly. Check their website for the exact movies shown on any given night. Several nights per week, two buffet movies are shown back-to-back. During our visit, our group of fourteen watched The Princess Bride, which was not our favorite movie; we still had a FANTASTIC time. We DEFINITELY plan to return in the very near future

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.

Like this movie was so great, it has redefined what I can expect from a Marvel movie, and movies in general. But this review is not about the latest Spider Man flick, it is about Alamo Drafhouse Cinema. And I firmly believe that one of the reasons why I loved Brand New Day so much is because I saw it in Alamo Drafthouse. The movie going experienced was enhanced, dare I say even honored, by this place. And, I might be wrong, but saying that a place made a movie better, is the loudest clap a moviegoer can give to a place that plays movies for goers. I am not sure how I first heard of Alamo Drafthouse, but I selected it as the venue that will host my movie going experience because I fe;t Spider Man deserved the stage. When I got there I was surprised by one sheer fact: I have walked by this place many a time, and I never knew that it was there. Which made me realize in a much broader way that what they say about LA is true--- one will never be bored here because there is always something new to do, and if you cannot find something new, than you might not be looking hard enough. The entrance to the place that holds Alamo also had a reminder that we might all need to hear: "say whatever it is, before it is too late." I entered and the place gave me Bing Bang Theory basement vibes if Howard or Sheldon had the funds to create a luxury movie theathre in their basements. The place was replete with a lot of different posters, and toys, and other memorabilia. If one is a flick nerd, then this place will be their slice of heaven with reclining sheets. I clipped just a few pictures of the different do-thats that this place. For instance, they had a wall full of Spider Man posters. As I walked past them and into my designated theatre I felt more excited to see the motion. Also, they had this area with tables and beers on tap with the Spider Man from the 90's playing. Which makes me believe that Spider Man 97 is coming along the pike cause this cartoon is not quitting. But I thought it was such a great touch to play this cartoon because it is responsible for having so many people fall in love with the wall crawler. It was appropriate nostalgia that frame the movie. So if I have not made it clear, being in this place is a small museum that reminds us why we love movies, beyond them offering escapism when times get tough. The movie rooms were small, quaint, and comfortable. I think most people would agree that a recliner while watching a movie may not be needed, but just like fudge on ice cream, it makes the treat better in a rich kind of way. Additionally, this place offers food delivered to your chair by a server. The besides me had a whole happy hour situation going on. He ordered three margaritas, a hamburger, fries and enjoyed his time. It was all about being good and happy at the movies. This place facilitated that. I was not hungry. But I was inspired by my neighbor to order a treat---- sea salt and vinegar popcorn laced with gold fish, and it was a nice little treat. First, I never had that combination before. It was great! The goldfish cheese taste was deepened. Not in every bite but the ones that were in the bottom of the sea(bowl). The second thing that they did, that another Yelper. comment on was, they "have a no-phone policy." Meaning that when the movie started to play they encouraged us not to use our phone or we might be asked to leave. We were told we can report people on our phone using their phone. And they addressed the irony of it--- and resolved it by saying just don't be a jerk. It as like putting a pretty ribbon bow in a package that was once difficult to wrap. The movie had previews but before that they had a comedian re-cap the journey to this movie and it was funny. The comedian wondered if DR. Strange was also the type of guy that buys liquor for a minor since he did a universe altering spell for one. Then before the movie they showed a video with Holland stating that this Spider Man Movie was created for "you." And to a much lower degree, for sure, this Yelp was written for you too.
