They have great summer movies fur kids $1.00! But every time we have gone there the snack bar takes forever. They are not organized. One time they didn't have lids for the sodas!! Im just not impressed Auth the lack of management. read more

I've been coming to Regal Carlsbad for years and was just there again last night. This is honestly my go to movie theater. The location is great since it's right at the mall, so there's plenty of parking and lots of food spots nearby before or after a movie. The leather recliner seats are super comfortable, the AC is usually nice and not too cold, and the staff has always been friendly whenever I've gone. My friends and I are obsessed with the $5 Mystery Movie Mondays and the discounted Tuesday tickets. I also really like the Regal app because it's easy to use and the rewards actually add up. I've redeemed points for free movie tickets and snacks a bunch of times already, and this month I even got a free small popcorn for my birthday. The only downside is that the concession lines can get ridiculously long and slow sometimes, especially on busy nights. Other than that, I definitely recommend this theater. read more

Same worker at concessions each time. Possibly Hispanic. Dark hair. Hes great! Comfortable seats. They went up a dolar sadly. Bring back $5 Tuesdays please. Ahhh $8 is rough! But depending on the availability in the area we may return. That mark up stinks. read more

I only came here to watch Scream 7. Haven't been to a movie theater in idk how long. The $15 ticket purchase reminded me why. Sheesh. I saw ghost pepper popcorn displayed on the menu in honor of Scream 7. Went up to order some, and the girl said we don't carry that. Huh? Why is it on your menu then? She had no clue. She said pretzel bites are up there too, and we don't carry them. Again, huh? The seats in the theater were reclining, which was nice, but they weren't very roomy. I enjoyed the movie, but the overall experience was subpar. read more

I recently visited Regal Cinemas in the Carlsbad area using my Regal Unlimited membership. Unfortunately, I realized after leaving that I had forgotten a personal item at the theater. When I returned to inquire, Luis, the manager was of immediate assistance. He was courteous and genuinely committed to assisting me. He searched through the lost/found in three areas. Even though my lost item wasn't found, I had the piece of mind that we tried to look for it. read more

We were on a vacation at Carlsbad. My family and I decided to go to Regal Cinema to watch The Housemaid movie. I was so excited to watch it since I read the book. It is located at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. There were ample parking spots. We used Regal app to purchase the tickets. It was very convenient. The theater was very clean and spacious. The line for concessions was very long, but we were okay. The staff were very nice and friendly. Recliners were very comfortable with swivel tables. The sound was excellent as well as the quality of the picture. We had a great experience and really enjoyed our time there. read more

This is our go to local theatre in north county. This review is for Javier that works in the concessions five star for his excellent customer service. He could be promoted as a lead or assistant manager we have never been greeted and accommodated with such kindness and patience. Hope that the manager get this rave review. read more

I LOVE COMING TO THE THEATER!! There's always something for somebody, the staff are polite, bathrooms are clean, there's only two things that have changed. I always like coming to Regal for the movies. Every time I come to this theatre, the line for Concessions is always long with only 2 lines opened. If you know your having 3 movies starting at the same time slot, it should be all hands on deck. I love buying concessions anywhere else except for Regal. It's too time consuming. Something new also caught my eye yesterday, the staff checking tickets was doing bag checks. He was scanning tickets and then politely asking guests to open their bags. So if your wearing a bag, prioritize your time. They will do a quick bag check. read more

since there's no AMC in north county and the closest one requires you to drive 40 minutes, we purchased the Regal unlimited because we like to watch 2+ movies a month so for us it's definitely worth it. we frequent this Regal quite a lot, mainly because there's no other option. I will say the workers here are always nice, even though every time we see new people working the concession stands, the customer service is always up to standard. in comparison to other theaters, they only have the basic snacks and drinks - no fancy soda machines, alcoholic stands or gourmet meals. the recliners are pretty nice and comfy, although pretty loud; it gets a bit chilly inside but as long as you have a long sleeve on, you will be fine. not location specific, but I have to mention the app/ website is really slow and counterintuitive. it was challenging to buy our passes and put in all the personal info - they need a major software upgrade. also, the previews were 80% random ads, and only a couple of actual movie previews. I would suggest to arrive 30 min after the start time of the movie, to avoid weird ads. read more

I enjoy this movie theater, they do good keeping the place clean and their snack counter has fast lines $20 tickets tho! Which is a bit insane but the recliner seats are really nice and some of the theaters don't have the recliner you have to book them specifically I will come back, everyone is nice and it's innaa good neighborhood read more

I drive out trying to find my son the Marty Supreme popcorn bucket. The staff was so nice, they checked everywhere. No such luck but they were friendly and helpful. The theater is located in the mall and is assessable from the outside, easy to get to. The lobby was huge, had some seating and games and was very clean and open. read more

I wouldn't recommend this theater! The manager doesn't allow skateboards in the building !! It's a MALL!! Don't come here people are rude and service fuckin sucks! They charge you for ice and water ! I'm a member and I get treated like I'm a bum that walked into the theater! Yea I like coming to the theaters to get away! You guys ruined my experience and don't want to come back ! 1 fuckin star!!! DO BETTER!!! read more

Overall this is a well maintained theater. The seats are comfortable and they recline. There is dim lighting on the stairs. I enjoyed the previews while waiting for the movie to start. The sound quality is excellent. Customer Service was friendly. I tried a large popcorn with extra butter and it was really good. I also had a hotdog dog and that was not so good. The hotdog was very rubbery. I do not recommend it! Of course everything was overpriced in the concession stand. Four stars for the theater overall and three stars for concessions. read more

My Favorite theater in the area! Go see movies in the theater! It's the only way to experience it as the Directors and filmmakers intended. If the industry is to survive, go see them there! Great seats, sound systems, and big screen keeps me coming back here. Concessions are good here, although the lines can get crazy long, so plan accordingly. The staff are also nice, and I appreciate them employing some nice senior citizens as well. I've tried all the local theaters, and enjoy this one the most. read more

3.5 stars Wanted to watch a movie with my brother and he said this is his go-to cause of the reclining seats. The staff seemed friendly and the seats were comfortable but I would be lying if I said that the sound of someone else moving their seats wasn't annoying during the movie. Not sure if it's cause we caught one of the last showings but the restrooms were pretty trashed. read more

Always try to book your tickets ahead of time as this theater will quickly sell out of tickets day of for most movies. They don't necessarily have an associate you can buy tickets from up front and they encourage you to use the kiosk. Trying to select seats on the kiosk never works for us so we always use our phones ahead of time or just end up at a different theater. Again this theater is usually pretty busy so expect a line for food/drinks and even a line to get your ticket scanned to get into your assigned theater. Luckily, there is usually plenty of parking in the lots out front so that is the easy part. Once inside the theater, the experience is pretty nice with their leather seats that do recline. I just wouldn't book the first 4 or 5 rows per theater because you are definitely too close to the screen, unless of course you like to look up while watching a movie. read more

Super annoyed!!! I love this theater BUT why on earth is it SO difficult and nearly impossible to get a hold of anyone?!? first of all the website is SLOOOOWWWWW and they have the audacity to time me in checkout??? Its hard to even get my food added so I can pick it up when I get there! I couldn't even check in because the service was so bad. I had to wait forever and missed a chunk of my movie :/ and now I'm simply trying to transfer tickets to another day and I've called 4 times only to not have the phone answered, it's literally just on an infinite ring. & One of those times the call just ended lmao. I need yall to get it together charging way too much for movie tickets to be acting like this. This is ridiculous. read more

absolutely amazing staff I lost something very important to me and they found it and promptly gave it to me after I spent 2 days searching. they were so kind and really bent over backwards to help me. thank you so much! read more

All of the employees at concession are rude. I ordered some hot food that was taking way too long for what it was. When I kept asking about it I was brushed off or ignored even by the manager. read more

Not my favorite movie theater of all time but the closest thing you can get to an old school movie theater in Carlsbad. They have reclining seats that are comfy but loud. A concessions stand to grab your popcorn and icee. It's in the mall so you can grab something to eat beforehand. Recommend getting tickets online and downloading them before you get to the theater because reception can sometimes be bad. Also, they show so many commercials that you can arrive 10 minutes late and previews will not have started. Seats are reserved so no need to worry about someone taking your seat. They need more staff I feel like, but unfortunately that is everywhere these days. Saw Superman here and it was SUPER fun. read more

We were buying food for our movie and it states when you buy a combo you get a candy for an extra $1 and a popcorn for an extra $2. The associate said the discount is not working so I just paid. Then as I was grabbing my stuff I saw the manager and I said why if your advertising the combo special it does not ring in like it is supposed to and he did not honor it either. I suggested he takes that off the menu. read more

Regal Carlsbad - Bottom right corner says combo special. - Cinema Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Screen sucked. Seats ok. Way to expensive. Front row way too close. Had to break my neck in order to see the screen

Decent theater connected to the mall. If there's going to be theater seating it should be well kept or upgraded though.

I've been to this movie theater a ton of times! One of my favorite movie theaters. This year alone, I probably went there 5 times! It's in a great location (The Carlsbad Mall) so you can grab something to eat or drink before/after. It's a nicer / newer movie theater. Great reclining seats. They show a lot of the underground / indie movies which I really enjoy. And best of all, there is a really nice and adorable older gentleman who does the QR scans to get in (,: read more

I live near cineopolis and they let young kids talk and make noise. While this theatre keeps the noise down by monitoring it.

There were literally 21 commercials that played before the movie. And I'm saying 21 after the start time-including one in the MIDDLE of the trailers. With as much as they make in ad revenue those tickets should be free. This is why people stay home and stream. Completely ridiculous. read more

absolutely disgusting pricing for me and my mom to come here and spend $100 on 2 tickets popcorn,nachos,icee, and one wine. i asked for a cup of ice and he gave me a cup the size of a mouse. reminder why i stream instead of coming into the theaters. the nachos were sad to look at being only a handful of chips for $15 i asked for more which the guy did do surprisingly. i just thought if im spending $100 id leave here satisfied but now i just regret coming here to begin with. SO dissatisfied. read more

Movies are not drawing the public the way they used to but I would still prefer sitting in a great theater with great seats than in my living room where I'm subject to all kinds of distractions. Enjoy the theater and the great people that work there. Also, download the app and collect your points for discounts on the concessions!!! read more

Really enjoyed our family outing to this movie theater and I am usually a fan of watching movies at home. The theater is inside the shopping mall and very clean, still seems new, good air conditioning and the chairs have ample room and recline which made it very comfortable. There is a food tray table available. Please be aware that they will show a lot of commercials and previews before the movie starts. We had a full 30 minutes of it, which is honestly too long considering the price of tickets. When using gift cards online there are problems if the gift cards do not cover all tickets. (It doesn't show updated price after gift cards and seems to then charge full price instead) The floor around check in was sticky but seemed very clean otherwise. We'll be back. read more

I've finally left AMC's A-list and joined Regal's unlimited to spread financial support and for a change of scenery. I went here for a 10:40am showing and was impressed with this facility, as it was clean, has comfy seats, has an immersive cinema audio, and includes friendly staff. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely return here for another pleasant experience, as well as sample their food. read more

Love the Regal, great, comfy seats, helpful, employees, and bathrooms are clean and pleasant. Convenient location and plenty of parking. Get there early. read more

Watched commercials for 55 minutes! Insane! We were all pretty tired and frustrated by the time movie started .

This theatre is fantastic. Even if it's full, there is plenty of room. No one is bumping the back of my chair, my legs fully extended on recliner and there is room for people to walk. The chairs, tables, cup holders make it worth leaving my house. Bathroom is clean, theatre is clean. Only issue I have ever had is the kiosk is not super functional. If booking online there is no hassle. read more

Johnny and Luis gave outstanding customer service. They are friendly and extremely welcomimg. Thank you!! read more

Carlsbad Regal Theater: Recently, I've been trying to get back to the movies more to support, what seems to be, a dying industry. Watching movies at home is nice and comfortable. But there's just something about watching a blockbuster movie on the big screen with a big bag of popcorn and a beer! Living in Oceanside California, Regal Cinemas has provided our city with 2 theaters; one of which has the best location in downtown, but is outdated and in need of upgrades & maintenance. The other is located further inland and is very nice, but further away. This is where Regal Carlsbad comes into play. I've started to frequent this theater more for the superior comfort of their reclining chairs and their impeccable cleanliness. This theater is located right on the border of Oceanside & Carlsbad within the Shoppes at Carlsbad Mall. So it's close enough for me to access without going too far from South Oceanside. The fact that it's close to the 78 and El Camino Real access points is even better. So, the key benefits to this theater is the comfort of their reclining seats, food trays, clean bathrooms, organized concession stand that carries everything from beers, popcorn, candy, hotdogs and a variety of other foods too. If you don't want to eat from their options, then you can eat nearby at the plethora of dining option just outside in the mall itself. It's really a genius location for a theater. The one thing about this theater is that it tends to be priced higher than most others and I understand why. A quality experience like no other. What I typically do is make TUESDAYS my GO-TO movie night and that's because prices drop to under $7 for any movie. But I will use their REGAL APP to purchase my tickets ahead of time and pay a small convenience fee, bringing my total to just under $9. I'm okay with this though, because I get to choose my seats early and my tickets are in my phone. So, if I've already eaten, I can just walk-in and go straight to my movie without dealing with major wait-times in lines. Another brilliant convenience! Overall, I truly love this theater and with their Tuesday Movie Deals, I can still watch my favorite box office hit movies for under $10 and relax in comfort while enjoying this American Pass-time read more

Enjoyed my time and was clean seating! Happy to have attended with my kids and their friends :)

AJ is awesome! I have the unlimited tickets and all the workers are very helpful and kind. Thank you!

This has become our new REGAL theater to use as its the closest one to Escondido that has comfy reclining seats. Otherwise, its pretty much the same as any other Regal... still missing Coke Products and bankers lines, but it is what it is... read more

I wanted to buy tickets to Barbie online using a gift card, but the Regal website kept giving me errors. I ended up buying the tickets successfully on Fandango. We were able to get the seats we wanted (this theater has assigned seats). We came Sunday midday, and it was pretty busy, so we parked in the farther area of the parking lot and walked over. There are clean bathrooms in the lobby which you don't need tickets to go in, and there are more bathrooms by the theaters after you scan your tickets. We checked in our tickets quickly without a line and had an easy time finding our theater and our seats. The seats are great! They have the motorized recliner and a small table for your snacks and drink. Everything was clean, and the seats were comfortable. Side note: I like this theater because it's next to Happy Lemon and Tasty Noodle House. This shopping mall has been upgrading, which is great. read more

I had went here on a Tuesday, and usually have had no issues with the Tuesday deal. Unexpectedly, I experienced an issue. After waiting in a rather long line, I was ready to order my tickets and popcorn. As I was asking for a large popcorn, I was told they only had a special edition " Madam Web" but wasn't part of the Tuesday deal, and would cost $13! I was completely confused... since 1 it wasn't even in theaters anymore, and 2 it was a flop and 3rd they refused to offer an alternative. Which I thought was wild, since I had been there earlier this year and was served a "Taylor Swift" bucket at no extra cost and was included in the Tuesday deal. We settle for a medium but immediately regretted it when we saw how tiny it was.... Which again is crazy since their normal large is just $1 more yet triple the size and includes a free refill. I'm extremely disappointed in this visit. read more
