Allwood Cinemas 6

Dirty theater, broken seats, and air conditioner wasn’t working properly. When asked for a refund, we were given the run around.

Tonight was an interesting evening at the theater. We come to find out that not all of the rooms have recliners. Luckily the movie we went to see which was The Jungle Book had recliners. There’s only 30 chairs and that room and not all of them reclined and it’s because they’re broken.
Another interesting and alarming thing is that the wires that connect the recliner to the electrical outlets are literally scattered all over the place it is an accident waiting to happen.
Not to mention that while we were sitting there two people in the theater literally almost flipped forward because the chairs are not bolted or heavy enough to stay down. That’s another use instant waiting to happen. This theater is setting themselves up for failure and lawsuits. I pray for the sake of those patrons that go there that this theater does something about fixing those problems ASAP. Now if you’re lucky to get a chair that works they do reclining all the way back.
Theater room number 3 weather Jungle Book was playing their speaker system was horrible. Its unfortunate that this neighborhood theater is managed so poorly. Could seriously be a little jem adding flavor to its surroundings.

I didn’t walk in expecting much, knowing this is an old theater. I haven’t seen a movie here since maybe ²⁰¹²⁄₂₀₁₃ and I don’t recall finding the building offensive at that time. Upon my return tonight (because we had to catch a 7:15 show of 10 Cloverfield Lane and we wouldn’t make it to Ridgefield Starplex in time) I unfortunately feel otherwise. This theater is a big, smelly dump. And my use of the word «big» is inappropriate because this place is tiny. The «old world» charm isn’t charming at all, the bathrooms are unkempt and fitted with the oldest practically-​manual hand dryer I’ve ever seen in life (stick to paper towels if you can’t do it right), and the recliner seats are atrociously maintained. Why make the investment in recliner seats if you can’t take care of it? This is why we can’t have nice things.
To those of you who say people leaving bad reviews are complaining too much: I’m afraid to see how well you keep your own home if you don’t find this place horrendous. Low standards you must have.
I will finish my movie, but next time I will return to Starplex in Ridgefield. That theatre may be a bit aged, but it’s not offensive to the eyes and nose.

OK came here because the timing was perfect… caught a 535pm Deadpool showing… every dine in was practically sold out so gave this place a chance BECAUSE it had recliner seats.
Wellllllllll let’s say I had the heebee geebees… The theater is very small… about 5 seats in each row…3 rows to the left and right side… I saw 2 seats «out of service» and lots of leftover popcorn… run down theater… just dirty.
Here’s a breakdown:
After 5pm adult tix are $ 8.50 and children and senior citizens are $ 7
Before 5pm all tix are $ 7
All day Tuesdays are $ 5
So I can’t knock this place because movies like AMC or Regal theaters are pricey and for people who don’t want to spend a lot… if you don’t mind the run down theater… then ok come here but I wouldn’t come back… bathrooms were bleh… seriously run down.
The popcorn is actually really good BUT everything else… you pay for what you get.
At least Deadpool was a good movie… OMG thank goodness lol.

This place is a cold no heat old dump. Go to the name brand theaters.

This place is gross! They don’t clean. I was stepping on thick layers of nacho cheese and some other syrup like stuff. The seats were also gross. I walked up and down 3 aisles before I found someplace decent to sit. Don’t come here unless you like sitting in filth.

The smell. The bump on the screen. The floor. The angle of the seats. The false advertising of all-​reclining seats. Pepsi no Coke. Someone please give this sorry theater a makeover, and advertise it honestly.

I love this little theater. Yes its older, a bit run down and a tad dirty, but for me that just adds to the charm. $ 7 to see star wars opening Friday with no lines, maybe 10 of us there. I always buy concessions because the popcorn is delicious. Great for a date night or taking the kids to see something. Keep expectations low and its a hidden gem.
Also, the gourmet coffee shop next door will give you a dollar of with your ticket stub.

Unacceptable. In every way. I am sorry, but you do not make people drive to come to see a movie, only to be turned away because there is a «private screening» of something else, and they cancelled your movie and didn’t post ONE SINGLE THING about said cancellation on the website or any other venue. Run-​down theater too. Shabby. Horrible way to treat customers. We will NOT be back, even if it is closer to Montclair than some other theaters. I feel bad for the poor clueless guy who told us this unpleasant surprising news, but you just don’t do this.

This place is a blast from the past. I actually enjoy not having to go to a huge mall and fight for parking to see a movie. Allwood is a little cheaper than the local enormous multiplex. I think all tickets are five dollars on Tuesdays. There are small shops nearby if you have time before or after the movie. The new seats are awesome.

I honestly feel that some of the people’s reviews here, are very exaggerated. This place is definitely old school. But that’s what makes it unique. This was my very first time I went here. And my fiancé and I both enjoyed it very much. So much privacy. Very cozy. No big crowds at all. We watched black mass in the reclining theater. We were very relaxed. There was prolly 6 people watching the movie with us. Yes the floors were stripped bare without the carpet. And the could’ve done a little better job cleaning up after each movie. But honestly, it’s really not that bad how the people here fuss about. If you want privacy, no big crowds. and reasonable prices. Come on over!

I love it here I really do because my father has been taking me here since I was a child, which I love the old school feel. They recently have gotten new leather chairs which recline, which I love ! But im sad to say that I get disgusted of the fact how dirty everything is ! Come on get a cleaning crew it’s gross ! I just want to support a local theatre that I grew up around !
Ps it’s never overcrowded! (Amazing !)

The trick to making the best out of your Allwood Cinema trip is to call ahead, or to ask at the concession stand /​box office if the movie you want to watch is in a recliner theater. They have 2 bigger theaters for «popular showings» (most likely stuff kids would want to watch) with wildly uncomfortable seats; and 4 smaller theaters that have very limited amount of awesome leather recliner seats. More stuff to love about this theater: 2 – 3 short trailers in front of each movie, the great ticket prices, and the fact that they don’t have 3D showings.
Note: their HVAC isn’t in the best shape. If you go on a day that’s overly hot or overly cold, adjust your expectations.

I’m happy to have this theatre still around. The floors may be sticky, the theatres may be tiny, but the nostalgia is wonderful.
I’ve been coming to this movie theatre since I was a kid and honestly not too much has changed. EXCEPT they have hopped on the bandwagon and added the super comfortable, motorized recliner chairs!
If you’re looking for a classy, big, commercial movie theatre don’t come here. But if you’re looking for a low key, inexpensive, not overly-​crowded movie night out, come here!

Best kept secret in the NYC area. What business model allows admission at ²⁄₃ the price of most theaters and intimate theaters with recliner seating? I buy concessions out of a sense of guilt. When the first run movie is over, I feel like the lady in the IKEA commercial: «Start the car! Start the car!»
Seriously, please patronize this theater so I can keep coming. Nice neighborhood with cute restaurants and shops for before or after. You won’t regret coming.

I used to frequent this theater a lot in their previous incarnation of Clearview Cinemas. I’ve been to this theater twice since they changed ownership and became Allwood Cinemas 6. On the first visit, my friend and I wanted to see The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (late March 2015). We went to order our tickets and we were informed that the heat was not working in the theater that movie was playing in. They allowed one of us to go back there to see how the temperature was. I went and it was cold. So we opted to leave and went to a different movie theater instead (because we really wanted to see that movie). My second visit was two days ago with my husband. We went to see the new Entourage movie. As we are buying our tickets, they informed us that the air conditioning wasn’t working in the theater that movie was playing in. (Note: It was a different theater than the previous heat issue.) I went back there to check out the temperature, but I found it to be pleasant (I don’t like freezing when I’m at the movies.) So we decided to stay and purchased our tickets and popcorn. The actual theaters are tiny and definitely run down. They replaced the old seats with nice black reclining ones, which is a serious improvement, but that’s all they updated. I must say that the new seats are super comfy though. The floors and walls are still gross. Because of the old shapes of some of the theaters, some of the seats are at an odd angle from the screen, so it’s best to get there early. The popcorn was good. Parking can be hit or miss. We were able to get a spot across the street on Market Street.
The ticket prices are much more reasonable than an AMC or Kerasotes. A regular priced ticket will cost you $ 8.50. I have yet to go on a Tuesday, but they offer all movies for $ 5 on Tuesdays. For that deal, I’d probably return again.

I absolutely LOVE this theater. The seats are cushy leather lounge chairs and are fully adjustable. I am not a small person and ordinarily find theater seats too narrow for comfort. No problem here. I go every week. Yes, the theater is old but it is clean, the people are really nice and the popcorn is not heavily salted. No glitz, just a good, first-​run movie in a classic old movie theater with your butt in a lounge chair and at a price you can afford.

This is a small old theater that has… Guess what… Large comfy fully reclining leather loungers! They must have added them recently because last year they just had regular seating. The tickets are cheaper too this place is my new fave movie theater, AMC is super expensive and always packed. This was a much cooler experience, I don’t mind it being old

2 stars only because they have $ 5 Tuesdays, if not for that, it would be 1 star.
Pros:
$ 5 Tuesdays and other cheaper options available.
Cons:
This is a raggedy little local theater. Inside is like… terrible looking The floors are not finished, the walls are dull, the seats are not properly installed yet. I went today and learned that they just got recliner chairs… they are not attached to the floor yet so you can fall out of those when they are not balanced correctly. The floors are undone so it looks really bad. The seats are not angled enough that for shorter people, they cannot see over the seats in front of them (ie. kids and people under 5’2). I don’t know what little kids would do.
The manager person who was on duty tonight was terribly rude. He was annoyed at having to explain to us a movie was sold out because today was the cheap day and so «what did we expect?” – rude! Then we bought tickets for a later showing at 9:25 and he was like «make sure you don’t arrive any later than 9:10» in a demanding voice… when we did arrive at 9:10, the theater was completely empty. =/​
When we walked into the theater to sit, there was no lights so we had to use our phones’ flashlight function to find our seats. When the manager person came in to turn on the lights, he told us «don’t recline too much» in a not-​so-​nice voice.
Maybe it will get better when they finish installing the chairs… But right now, the chairs are comfy because they are couch recliner chairs but they are not attached to the floor so beware you might fall!
I recommend taking advantage of their specials deals on different days of the week but aside from that, I’d rather pay more to go to a better theater.

My family and I love this theater. Perhaps it is a sentimental thing since I grew up across the street. If you are used to the super nice big theater at the mall, you’re not going to get it and will most likely hate it. I can’t stand the theater at the mall with the huge crowds and annoying children and obnoxious people yelling. This is a much calmer experience. My dad goes here all the time to watch movies for work.
But, it is smaller and less comfortable. Yes, there’s barely any parking and the theater is old and not in great shape. But it’s been there for years and is a pillar of the community, a relic of sorts, and also isn’t a cesspool of annoying teenagers *grumpy face* (I swear I am 28 and not 78). It’s great when you want to watch a movie in moderate peace, but not at home. Also, QuikChek is down the street and great for cheap snacks.
Tickets are cheaper than AMC. It was recently announced (May?) that this theater would be closing for good but the most recent development has been new ownership. My understanding is that the theater would be closed for renovations but then will reopen its doors again under the new owner. So perhaps once it gets a bit of a makeover, you can give it another chance?
