Ok so we are waiting outside for a movie and a lightening storm with heavy rain is moving in. Big lightening, you can see heavy rain coming. So we go see the manager Veronica Bustamonti(?). She comes out looks around and goes back inside as it starts to rain. The lobby is EMPTY....WTF Veronica?!?! It stats to pour and she still can't make a decision. In the everybody was brought into the theater.....after they got soaked. What was the hard decision?? Lightening, rain, empty lobby.....let the people in. Now you have about 150 wet pissed off people with iPhones. Nice work Veronica. read more

Best sound system in ABQ. Pretty comfortable seating. Otherwise, cookie-cutter overpriced Americana. And... scene. Like most mega-movie-plexes (and this one is on the light side of mega), this cinema delivers all of the basics, like steeply over-priced snacks and drinks, along with a bonus or two: reclining seats, plenty of foot room and as I mentioned, probably the best sound in town. By 2016 this mall, Winrock, will certainly be the place to be for those who enjoy franchise comforts. It's, well, just dandy. Go watch a blockbuster here. You'll wonder why you spent the time reading this review and moreover, you'll be sorry you made it in time for the show. Previews and Coca-Cola advertisements fill a good 15 minutes of time before the movie comes on, so go have a beer somewhere. read more

Well maybe it was my fault...i didn't bring earplugs. I guess I should know better if the IMAX is showing movies for 2 bucks its going to be full so full I have to sit in row 6. I thought yeah Pacific Rim seems like the right kind of 3d IMAX experience.... to the review of the theater love a new theater! the seats are a little airplane like (read tight) and I am a small size. It was so loud my ears rang like I was at a concert, the Imax glasses are really pointy and ouchy. the cost of a regular Imax ticket will be about 20 bucks. I would say save the experience for something not bombastic so you will not suffer PTSD like I did after this viewing. read more

I enjoyed watching the 3D IMAX version of The Hobbit here. The seats are great, the height between rows is just at the right level where you cease to notice that there are seats in front of you at all, and the screen was immense. Of course I realize that these are all very common things in a new movie theatre and we will have to see how this location holds up over the years, but for now I'm watching movies here. Side Note: This theatre has the unique distinction of being the only place I have ever witnessed a line for the men's bathroom. First world problems. read more

So this movie theater is still feeling the affects of COVID-19 and you can't pay with cash and the BOX Office is closed even during popular premieres and you have to wait in long lines and if a group of people are playing separately it can make wait times super long and miss the previews of you movie which I like seeing And then you can't get hamburgers and fries or a pizza and you can't even get a pickle and the nachos are just as sorry looking you get a bag of tostitos and a tiny cup of cheese and if you want extra it's $1.50 for the same size cup of cheese and Regal is now serving Pepsi and can't get any tea unsweetened or sweet read more

It's your basic movie theater setup, ya know? The food is expensive, yet I still buy noms because I need to stuff my face. Sometimes the staff is on point & super friendly while other times they look preeeeeeetty miserable / unapproachable. I dunno... when I think of my options in terms of theaters, Winrock doesn't jump to the top of the list. read more

In my personal opinion, movie theaters are practically all the same to me... but maybe that's just me. Like any other movie theater, they have the usual... drinks, popcorn, snacks, etc. I really like how comfortable the seats in the theaters are though -- I've taken a nap in them several times. That's how comfy they were. read more

This theater is the nicest theater in town. Even I the smaller theaters lots of good seats. Snack bar staff tends to be slow so need to plan extra time to get snacks. read more

Why are all of the movie theaters in Albuquerque so far behind the times? Where are the recliner seats and apps to order food to your seats? Coming to the movies is like a time warp back 10 years. read more

Love coming to movies here! Great seats. You can buy tickets from inside with credit card or debit and not have to wait in line. They have comfy seats. The only Complaint is the theaters are freezing. Bring a jacket. read more

This place has become one of my families, pastime favorite's! There's plenty of concessions to choose from. Definitely, a variety to meet your needs from Cheeseburgers, to Chicken sandwich combos. They also have some personal sized pan pizzas to!! read more

See all

Nice theater, clean, with stadium seating - but no reclining chairs. Sound and visuals were great for the action movie. Expensive snacks and almost 12 dollars for an evening show was the biggest downfall. Staff was polite but not cheery, most didn't seem to want to be there. Even with the expenses I would still return to watch action movies on a big screen. read more

Ordered a mobile confession order. Don't do that because apparently no one runs it. Paid and everything didn't wanna miss the movie so just went back to my seat. Tried getting a refund. Rude Kayla behind the counter "oh I can't help my managers busy" she was more rude than that. Spoke to the manger who couldn't help too. Have to speak to customer service via where ever the hell they are from in the world. This location is just terrible don't go here just go somewhere else. They're rude as heck here read more

Next time I show up for a 6:00 movie I'll plan to get there around 6:30 so I don't have to sit through 30 min of forced commercials.

Violet crown Santa Fe has made it hard to enjoy other theaters. Reserved seating doesn't mean much at this theater, our seats were taken by someone so we found other seats. That worked until someone came and wanted their seats. With the number of employees they have they should have someone pointing people in the right direction to make people more aware of the importance of choosing the correct seats. When I suggested that to the woman at the guest service desk it was clear that nothing would be done with my suggestion. The employees up front at the concession area were pleasant and the big screen was nice. Not rushing back... open a theater or five in abq Violet Crown!!! read more

New theatre in town! Very nice facility. We watched Anchorman 2, in a "regular" theater, not Imax or 3D. The seating was nice and big, you weren't crunched in next to someone. The seats reclined and the armrests raised. The spacing of the seating was perfect, you really didn't notice that there were rows in front of you. Legroom was very nice! Concession was busy and only one register open. The showing was a 9 o'clock showing, so I imagine they have more staff to man the concession during the day. Get a regal crown club card and earn points towards popcorn, drinks and free tickets. read more

After the fall of Century Rio's standards (Who knew I'd miss Century Theaters after Cinemark bought them and dumbed down the standards?) this theater has become my go-to for big movie premieres. I tend to enjoy the RPX option, and I love the benefits on the Crown Club card. Free drinks and movies every so often is a nice little touch. I enjoy the larger aisles and seats so I don't have to enjoy a stranger's ass in my face when they decide to hit the restroom. I don't understand the theater designs though. The large aisle in the middle which creates a front portion that almost requires you to lay back to see the screen is a nightmare. Another downside, the concessions are always a nightmare. There will be ropes for 5 aisles and 3 registers open. There's no rhyme or reason and I've been stuck for over 10 minutes because I stood behind the guy who wants jalapeno poppers and 6 drinks. Sadly, multiplexes have become like cattle stockades, at least this one feels a bit more comfortable. read more

Great location and friendly service. Movie was of good quality. Join the Rewards Club! It's great! read more

Stood in line for 2 hours in the 100* weather waiting to see an advance screening of Jurassic world. Show was supposed to start ar 7, people weren't allowed in tell 7 because "kiss 97.3" was doing a podcast. Got into said theater and there were no seats. I asked if they were going to open another theater and they said no! So I stood outside for 2 hours for nothing. Thank you I'm never coming to your theater again. read more

UPDATE: I originally gave this a 4 star rating but quickly dropped it after watching Jurassic World in IMAX 3D. The movie was great and it looked and sounded amazing but the "new" 3D glasses they give you are HORRIBLE. They pinch your head and your nose will be sore in about a half an hour. Regal you really, really need to address this. No more 3D movies for me. Original Review Below: I'm basing this review on the optimal way to see movies here. Therefore it gets 4 stars because if you do it right, you see a good flick for a good price and the theaters themselves are brand new and comfortable. First of all, get the free Regal Rewards program. I have the app on my phone and the points add up quickly. I'm about to get a free movie ticket myself. Second, watch the matinees. No brainier here, the tickets are cheaper and there's less people so you get an awesome seat. I'm not big into 3D so that saves a few bucks too, plus who cares about the overpriced snacks because movie theater food is probably the worst thing you could eat anyways. So overall, this movie theater gets 4 stars. read more

This theatre is sold out it should have a lower rating. But I can't hate on it too much, because I recently went to see a first run movie, and they had matinee pricing at the 5pm showing on a Sunday. That's pretty generous. But I'm pretty amazed that there's theatres that still exist without stadium seating. Oh, Albuquerque, you're so cute. read more

Big, modern, multiplex of theaters. And its location near ABQ Uptown is good. But, it's real claim to fame is the IMAX theater. Of course, a simple search online will lead you to the conclusion that it's not a real IMAX theater. Something about the size or resolution or something. Whatever. The screen is huge and the sound is impressive. It's a good way to see a movie. You pay for it, though. Like $17.50 for a movie. Ouch! And here I thought they made all their money on the $10 sodas and $8 popcorns, or whatever they cost these days. Okay, so I'm cheap, but I can have a better time spending that kind of cash on some good food and beer and wait for the movie to come out in another, cheaper format. read more

We went to the special Fathom Event of Ghostbusters 1984, the show was to begin at 2 PM. At 2:25, it played a Fathom events loop of 2 minutes that played continually for 30 mins we were then told at (event timer 9:30 to start of presentation) there was a glitch in the digital system and it would be 15 mins before the movie started. People asked if there would be a refund if there was a time constraint, they were told no, they would get a ticket to another showing. THIS WAS A SPECIAL EVENT SHOWING OF THE 1984 GHOSTBUSTERS WITH 2 SHOWINGS ON ONE DAY WITH NO OTHER DATES!!!!! The staff was rude and walked out when people brought up it was a special showing. The movie is 105 mins long, again to start at 2, ended at 4:30!!!!! There was also a sign on the doors about "double booking accident" on Warcraft. And "problems" with their digital system! This is a newer theatre, they should keep their equipment serviced and work on customer service! They won't even give a free popcorn coupon for the next time to say sorry........ Hmmmm....... Maybe I'll go to Fathom events at Century Rio instead? read more

I think this is a pretty standard mega-plex. One extra star for the different food choices to include things like burgers and chicken strips. Love to eat while I watch! (What do we need to do to add beer?) I do think the seats are a little small, but maybe I'm spoiled by Icon. I usually buy my tickets online and love walking past the line straight to the theater. The IMAX is the big draw. For the big movies, Star Wars, Mission Impossible, anything with Jason Statham or Liam Neesum kicking ass and blowing things up I love the big screen and massive sound system. In fact it's so massive I bring ear plugs. If the theater isn't totally full the reverb will make you vibrate. read more

Gotta love stadium seating! The gigantic screen just pulls you in to enjoy the experience! I enjoy watching movies here, regular as well as 3D! Like most movie theaters the concessions aren't cheap, but in my opinion you gotta have popcorn before a movie! They have almost anything you could want to eat, just be prepared to pay the extra cost for that convenience at a movie theater. read more

They changed the matinee price to change at 4. Are you serious? Mediocre theater that had exorbitant prices. Nothing to note about this place, as it's your typical across - from-the-mall theater. read more

Just tried to get into a movie 10 minutes late because I hate previews and they locked the doors and closed!! It was 10:50pm--But the showing was at 10:40pm!! The girl was very rude and told me I was too late because it started already and she couldn't let me in!! 10 minutes late??! I even asked if I was the only one there to see the movie, so I would understand if they didn't even try to play it--But she said no-that people actually got there on time but she couldn't let me in because I was late..I will never come to this theater again..I prefer Icon or Flix anyway, but I come here now and then because it's close to BJ's restaurant. Good luck on staying open if you have staff like this.. read more

Cleanest movie theater in ABQ. I really enjoy their sofa seat. Whenever I have watch brainless movies that kids wants to watch, I can remove my hearing aids and take relaxing nap. It became my regular theater in uptown area. read more

Over $60 for 2 adults and 2 children just for tickets and not even the fanciest theater? Nope. The movie industry has priced itself out of this family's entertainment budget, and we make over $100k. read more

Came here for a movie with my friend. Staff was very friendly and time efficient. Of course like any movie theater I feel that he food is very overpriced but I guess it more for the experience. Bathrooms were less then clean. Had to go to three different stalls until I found one that was usable. Theater rooms are very nice seats are comfortable but I do prefer the reclining seats at I con cinema. Not bad for the second best theater. read more

Regal Winrock - Movie screen - Cinema Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

RPX had extremely poor image quality today, the worst I've seen in a theater in a long time. It was very dim and difficult to see the actors faces. Having waited a long time to see this film and have it ruined by the theaters projection was very disheartening. Managements response was that everyone else enjoyed the movie so there wasn't anything wrong with it, and that it was meant to be dark. I know movies can be shot dark but they are still meant to be *seen*, which I could barely do for the majority of this film. They said they watched it later and it was fine so they would make no changes. That means to me that all future viewings of RPX at this theater will have equally bad image quality and ruin any movie I go see there. I can't recommend spending extra on RPX when you get such a poor experience for it, or the theater in general for not taking the quality of their showings seriously. I recommend the management here go to another theater to see how a film is meant to look, so they can raise their standards a little. read more

Probably one of a few theaters left in New Mexico that doesn't do assign seating. Assigned seating is great if you go in small group. Our group bought our tickets last minute last night and we were still able to seat together. read more

Hello, I just wanted to let you know we just got done taking our family to see Unbroken at your Regal Winrock in ABQ, NM. I was really looking forward to it and felt that my 12 & 13 yr old children would benefit from seeing such an inspirational story. Unbeknownst to me, the previews included the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey!!! In the trailer, characters are depicted having sex, taking their clothes off, moaning, I was absolutely disgusted & had to sit next to my children taking this in. This set me off for the whole rest of the movie, I was so taken aback, I can't take that back from my children's innocence. After the movie, I did seek out a manager and was told they have had complaints & can't make a decision to change it, as it has to come from corporate. Wow. How about you think about these things & put families first. So disappointed. Please change this as soon as you can so other parents who are trying to be responsible with their children will not have this same experience. Thank you read more

It's nice to finally see something new happening at Winrock! It's been a ghost town for far too long.... As for the theater, it's great! Best stadium seating in Albuquerque. Seats are very comfortable. I'm tall and there's more leg room than any other theater in town. Also, it's nice that the ticket counter is indoors. Better than freezing in line during the winter months. The negatives are that the volume in the theater is too loud. Like, a lot too loud. Plus, access to the theater is a little weird, and Winrock is still a little "unsightly" at the moment. Being an Albuquerque NE heights native, I really miss Winrock. I have been waiting for something positive to happen here for the better part of a decade now. Hopefully, this theater breathes new life into this once great mall. read more

Just watched Maleficent. It was such a nice twist to the original. The movie theater was fabulous. So new and with so many different options. Great ticket prices, good food/snack choices and tons of parking. I like the handicap accessibility. People in wheelchairs or scooters, actually get a great seat to watch the movie. read more

Like another reviewer, we went to see Dunkirk in the Imax theater. It was so loud I had to leave right away, it was making me physically ill. Husband stayed so I went to see Baby Driver, which I enjoyed. Why not check the sound levels? I'm afraid to go back. read more

We really like this movie theatre. It's always clean, especially the bathrooms and the staff friendly. Just like any chain theatre, it is pricey. We are big movie goers so we take advantage of being Regal Crown members as well as their military discount. The concession stand is extremely pricey so I would suggest eating before a show. There are plenty of great food options outside the theatre. This theatre has several movie experience options so it's great if you want to splurge. read more

Completely overpriced rubbish. This is a newly renovated theater in Albuquerque in a run-down shopping center which has easy access from the highway. Parking is aplenty so you won't have to fight the hordes (for now). It is touted as one of the only IMAX theaters in New Mexico, but that's not saying much. Even for low expectations of IMAX standards, the screen is TINY, not much larger than a normal movie theater screen, and the audio is just louder (oh, they charge an extra fee for that, too). That's about it. I do not see how this justifies the premium price of $16.25/ticket I paid for a 11:00 showing. 3D fees are ridiculous as is, but $16.25 for a movie ticket in New Mexico? That's a Manhattan-like price for an experience which undershoots Manhattan by a long shot. The theater is clean, and early showings of regular movies are $6.25 which is a much more reasonably-priced offering. So if you are going to this theater, SKIP the 3D, skip the "IMAX" with its "premium" audio and save your money for a trip to a bigger city where you can truly experience the real IMAX - hopefully in a theater where they're not going to charge you $10 extra for 3D glasses and louder speakers. read more

To be descriptive and clear, this theater is a waste of time. go to another theater if you want a clean area with kind staff. The concession counter employees were friendly, but everyone else seemed very rude and like they did not want to be there. If you want a good, consistent theater, then stop wasting your time with this place and go somewhere that is worth the money. read more

Very nice. Love they The seats recline and love how they upgraded the screens. Very clear. Only thing I'd that the concessions stand is slow. Waitdd in line for order for a long time, then had to wait for my food for a long time. I know they just opened so will give it a while for the concession stand to speed up. read more
