    Attended an AARP MOVIE screening of Springsteen last night. Theater is kept up nicely and the concession stand offered free bag treats for Halloween. Some included toys, children cups, etc Staff are very nice

    I had tics for Warner Bros pre-screening of Final Destination Bloodlines. We parked under the theater in the garage for 3 free hours. And took the elevator to the theater. It was sooo packed in this space and ppl were saving seats and being rude about it. Im used to the first come, first serve seating but the tone & temperament was a bit wild on this one. We were offered reserved seating and it worked out but dang, yall gotta chill. The theater is definitely well worn and the seats are kinda small. But, it did it's job and the movie played seamless. Not my go to theater but for free, it'll work.

    Great Movie Venue To See Sequel Hits SITREP My lovely galpal Jenner and I were excited to see the new DUNE Part 2 in a great theater to have the best movie viewing experience and Regal Thornton Place did not disappoint! THE SETUP This dovetailed with a fun trip to visit my mother who lives in Northgate, and so this was an extremely convenient option to stay *close to home*, step out whilst letting mom take her afternoon nap, and then come back to her home after the movie - three (3) hours later - when her spunky self was already getting dinner ready for us. Sometimes life is good. NO CHANGE I gave it 4 stars last time. Staying at 4 stars. The only improved rating would have come if there had been significant discounts, better concession prices than other theaters, improved physical plant from the last visit, etc. etc. NONE of that was the case. I'll even be gracious and won't even knock off a star for Thornton NOT having those cool DUNE worm-shaped popcorn buckets that have been heavily promoted - sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. So nothing to have diminished the visit since last time. But neither anything to have *wowed* us since the last visit either. THE LOWDOWN A great option to enjoy a movie you are looking forward to seeing.

    I have most heavily frequented Regal Cinemas in Thornton Place in my last year(s) of high school and when I was attending the University of Washington (to/through 2012). Since that time my movie-going has dropped off, though I still enjoy the relatively close proximity of the theater complex in Northgate. From where I currently reside, Shoreline as of writing this on Monday 30 October 2023, we can go south or north if we want a large movie theater complex to attend. Only one main drawback for coming south to this Regal Cinemas, because Thornton Place has a number of businesses, the area around the theater can get a bit cramped with non-movie going traffic. Thornton Place both contains and is near good food and places to shop and has a navigable parking set up. The movies offered are typically the current big name blockbuster titles, which is good if wanting to see a current big name film. Also helpful if wanting to see a couple movies over one weekend or back-to-back without driving to multiple theaters. Concessions offerings have been spot on in my experiences here.

    I'll keep it simple. Open again for in-theatre viewing! Make your personal choices related to being in a crowd. I was very happy to see my go-to theatre open again. I generally go late at night, it feels like an extra treat to have this as the last thing of the day. Clean, good A/C, pre-selected seating. Go out and enjoy!!

    Matinee viewing, it was very empty and clean!

    Are recliner seats in all of the theaters here?

    They may have some in some of the theaters but was there two weeks ago and was in an imax auditorium that had normal seats.

    I am rooting for this movie theater. In its glory days the front windows weren't smashed and the…read morecardboard boxes weren't left in the front entrance with urine stains and needle caps. Even during the homeless days with the Capitol Hill and U District tweens with patchwork jackets and dogs mobbing around in packs this theatre was in good condition. I have over 20 years of memories coming here watching indie movies like Pirana, docuseries to Siff films. I also watched plenty of blockbuster films. My fondest memory is the smell of the popcorn that fills the front space. It is so distinct and the melted butter and grease on my fingers rubbed on my movie ticket is nostalgic. I love the indie vibe of the workers. It was a polite Seattle cool, depending on the era a little emo and punk, with some grunge. The attitude was very U District. I hope this theatre can raise the funds to fix itself up. It is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't get boarded up. It still has so much life left.

    I looked into other reviews prior to going to the Varsity Theatre but it seemed like people were…read moreeither raving or hating on it. At this point it felt like it's mostly dependent on personal preference so I decided to go in and find out. I thought the place is decent. The biggest attraction is that tickets are probably the cheapest in the area. Regular ticket price is around $16 for Seattle but it's $10 at Varsity (as of December 2023). And you get a dollar off if you're a student. Also you don't even have to buy the student tickets in person because you could just order them online (other places like AMC downtown, you have to go in person). I made sure to bring my student ID in case if they want to check, but it was never checked onsite. I think it's a little more shabby than AMC and other more commercial theaters, but it does its job. The movie started on time and there were no issue throughout the movie. I wish they could just shut off the ads before the screen turns on at starting time because you're facing a blue screen that shows nothing while the ad is blasting. On the other hand, I liked that there aren't that many previews to watch through to get to the actual movie I came to see. The bathroom is two flights up the stairs from the ground floor. It's well kept and smells ok, but they probably have to check the toilet paper inventory more often. By the time I went in, there were no toilet paper left at all so I didn't forget to inform the staff that before leaving. The staff was polite and accepted my remarks in good spirit.

    Watched the Odyssey , opening day on the 65 foot Imax on their 15th auditorium, not full 1.43 but…read more1.9 (biggest screen before lynnwood, or gig harbor south) I was glad to see that the management made sure it was projected properly and clean the screen. The Audio WAS VERY loud but not OVERWHELMING, I think it is what the director intended, for this film, other films were loud enough. The seating is recliner, cushioned, but not the ELECTRONIC, double recliner, stadium style and cramped, however the seating is well done in arrangement, sitting on the edges does not give u a bad angle. The middle sections for the walk way seating are actually great since there is no wall and there is bars, as well as being a level higher up, this is a great choice for a packed theater. The entire theater was clean enough for a busy week, and the concessions staff were amazing, they helped me out on getting my nacho cheese reheated , and answered the quick questions i asked about showtimes and other things. If you want the big screen but don't want to drive Lynnwood or Gig Harbor, this is the best choice I recommend for big screen movies as a cinephile!

    It would appear that Cinemark is insisting on a single Yelp entry for their two theaters at Lincoln…read moreSquare. The original cinema was Lincoln Square Cinemas that they took over, which is a decent traditional multiplex with an IMAX screen and chairs arranged in stadium seating that actually lean back a bit. The lobby is open and has lots of room for displays promoting other films. On the left hall, the rows of screens is quite expansive which could make for quite a walk to the bathroom or to get concessions and bring them back. It might not be a bad thing to have some of them renovated to be like their Totem Lake location. The Cinemark Reserve is a whole other thing, and truth be told really deserves a separate Yelp entry. It is meant to be a premium experience. Like the iPic in Redmond it is an electroncially reclined seat with seat warmer and a table for a meal with waiter service. It's 21+ only and they serve alcohol. The finishes on the walls are slightly more premium but not too much above and beyond their newer Totem Lake location. There is a big lobby area for concessions but a lot of the walk-up food service areas have fallen into disuse after covid. Cost-cutting wise they're really pushing kiosk ticket buying, which is fine, but yesterday the printers weren't working, so the kiosks could take your credit card payment and then leave you with nothing. When they radioed for the manager it probably took half an hour for the manager to show up. I noticed the cost cutting at the original cinema too as the one person that could sell you a ticket is also the person who checks you in on entry. That being said, there really isn't an alternative to watch the latest blockbuster or buzzy indy/foreign film in the West Bellevue area than here and they do their reasonable best to ensure a good experience.

Super…read morecomfy recliners in "pods" of 2, with a place to put your purse, a cup holder for your drink, and a table for your food. There is a button you can push to call a server, but I've never had to do that as someone usually greets us shortly after we sit down. From what we've tried on the menu, I can recommend the quesadilla, the mac n cheese, the grilled cheese, and the fried chicken. The fries are really good. I've tried several cocktails and the mule is one of my favorites. The servers have always been really pleasant. One time a drink was not delivered that I had ordered but they didn't charge me for it without me having to ask. This movie venue isn't cheap. Tickets are $20 and the food menu isn't discount. The food is pretty good, and when I compare to what I'd pay for dinner and a movie elsewhere, IPIC comes out in that range. Note that they do add an automatic 18% service charge to the bill which isn't boldly stated. I was glad I saw that in another review and thought to look for it myself. The screen and sound are good. My daughter and I like our fun nights out here and will keep returning.

    IPIC Redmond wasn't my first choice to watch a movie at because I had heard so many negative things…read moreabout IPIC. But after visiting, I didn't hate it! I was actually surprised by how nice the entire place is. We ended up going to IPIC because the movie I wanted to watch was no longer playing in any of the other eastside movie theaters except at IPIC. I ended up paying beaucoup bucks, about $40 for two tickets and just sucked it up to watch my favorite movie director's newest flick. But I was easily able to get tickets online and reserve seats, making it super convenient to show up last minute. The seats are bundled in pairs, making it nice to have a date night here. The bundled seats include a table in the middle where your refreshments go. The seats recline and there's even a blanket on every seat. It was very comfortable watching a movie here, making the experience all the more fun. The menu features many different dishes and there's a full bar that you can get from your seat. They also have a bar to hang out in before and after the movie, as well as some games and a pool table. The bathrooms were amazing! Holy crap, I was surprised by how spacious, bright and clean they were. I wouldn't spend money to watch every movie here, but it is nice to have this option at Redmond Town Center.

    This is my favorite Movie Theater in the whole State of Washington!!…read moreThere is no other theater, no other IMAX that compares to it at all! The screen is from ceiling to floor, and then some! It is absolutely huge! The stadium seating combined with the colossus of a screen means that there is not a bad seat in the house! The sound is impeccable and very immersive! Very loud yet well tuned! It will have great sound on both low range and high range frequencies. It is a nonprofit which gives you a little more warm fuzzies that the reasonable cost of your ticket is going back to the community. There are the standard modern concessions, with good popcorn, and also a variety of local beers, wines, and ciders!! Concessions are actually pretty affordably priced compared to other modern day theaters! Best place to see your event movie of the year! Some of the best movies I have seen here were Oppenheimer, 1917, Avengers Endgame, and Star Wars Episode 9. (Somehow, Palpatine returned... terrible movie, but at least the picture and sound were immaculate). Cheers!

    My family and I had been looking forward to seeing The Odyssey for weeks. Tickets were sold out…read moreeverywhere, so we were incredibly excited when we finally got them. Unfortunately, the experience was one of the worst I've ever had at a theater. The seating is unbelievably cramped. If you're over 5 feet tall, prepare to be uncomfortable for the entire movie. The seats are small, hard, stiff, and offer virtually no legroom. Sitting through a three-hour film felt unbearable. What concerned me even more was how the auditorium is laid out. Once everyone is seated, you're essentially trapped. There are no aisles running through the seating sections, making it extremely difficult for people to get in or out without disrupting entire rows. It genuinely made me wonder what would happen in the event of an emergency evacuation. The concessions didn't make up for it either. The popcorn was stale, and the overall concession experience was disappointing. To make matters worse, seating is first come, first served, so if you want decent seats, you'll need to arrive at least an hour early despite already having purchased tickets. This theater completely overshadowed what should have been an incredible film experience. I would not return, and I would strongly recommend seeing a long movie somewhere with comfortable seating and a better auditorium layout.
