Cinemark Movie Theater

New recliners make watching movies great. I would not show up to a movie that has been out just recently without purchasing my tickets online first. Reservations for seats need to be made in advance. Food is standard movie going fare and of course pricey.

Great movie theater. Right by my house. Wasn’t crowded at all, hand convenient kiosks to buy tickets as well as regularly purchases. Had all the usual refreshments, reasonably priced popcorn and snacks. Very roomy reclining seats. You can pick your seats ahead of time as well. Can’t wait to go back!

I love this movie theater its clean they have lots of movie choices. They have bargain days and big comfy lounge seats.

I used to go to the movies every week while growing up and I thought our theater was fine. Nothing special but nothing bad either. This past Christmas weekend, I squeezed in a showing of Star Wars before the festivities began. Cinemark has really classed up the joint. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad before but I really love the assigned seat /​couch set up!
You pre buy your ticket and pick your seat beforehand. When you get there, all you got to do is get your popcorn, sit back and recline your chair to enjoy your movie. Really great upgrade, loved it! Will be back next time I’m home!

Never thought I’d prefer a multiplex to a small main street/​neighborhood theater (or give five stars to one but not to a single restaurant), but…
Reserved seating so no rushing nor worrying about a movie being sold out, and no standing in line for tickets.
Large, extremely comfortable, full recliners with so much aisle and side spacing that it almost feels like watching alone in the theater (And kinda makes me wanna bring a blanket and maybe one of my cats (But don’t do that (Someone else might bring his dog or parrot and well, you can imagine the chaos…).)…).
Impressive concession and despite all of this, no inflated admission.
We go to Red Bank for the independents Cinemark might not run but otherwise, if remotely in the area, there’s no reason to go anywhere else and, once here, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do so.
We repeatedly question how this place doesn’t charge more than it does. And note that we’d pay it if it did. Not that I’m suggesting.
Disclaimer: Those were just my musings; I assume no pets are allowed (Though I suppose service dogs or monkeys might be okay, in which case, they’d likely really appreciate the big cushiony chairs…).

I visited this theater this past Thursday for the 12pm showing of Hotel Transylvania 2. I moved into the area late last spring and it was nice to discover that I had a theater so close. To be honest, I went there thinking it was going to be a rinky dink local spot. To my surprise, it was not. The popcorn was perfect and the seats were beyond comfortable. They were leather upholstered (easy to clean) and very plush. The kicker was that they reclined! I went with my girlfriend, whom haaaates theatre seating due to a bad back, and was surprised to hear she was beyond comfortable the whole time. Seating aside… I think the one main attribute that made my experience great, was the young lady working the ticket area. I did not catch her name but she was beyond kind, helpful, and funny! If a manager ever reads this review, know you have a good employee right there. The young man collecting the tickets was also very nice. I look forward to going back.

Huge positive improvements to this theater. Best theater around. Oh and great popcorn!!! The place is clean, staff is friendly and helpful. Great new reclining chairs. A must is to get to the theater early to reserve your seats or buy on line, especially on a busy Tuesday night or weekend. We actually went to a 3:00 on a Thursday and only first and second rows were left for 2. All tickets have assigned seating so if you and your friends want to sit together, not be separated and not next to the belching guy on on your left and the kid picking his nose on the right… RESERVE YOUR SEATS. Yup true story.
Bathrooms are really awful

Uh… wow. Where the deuce is there a theater like this in Northeast Philly? Nowhere. I read some of the reviews and wonder what your preferred theaters look like around here!
I dig that there’s a sitting area in the lobby. Not that I bought anything from the concession, but I thought it was pretty wild that they serve freshly scooped ice cream and Starbucks. I’ve never seen such things.
I read that you can pick your seats prior to the show. We purchased our tickets online and printed them out at a kiosk when we got there. Two leather recliners, dead center. I thought it was cool. I was comfortable. The theater is spacious and you can easily maneuver around people who have their seats already reclined.
You can definitely tell that this place was recently upgraded. My issue? The bathrooms. They were horrendous… like, throw up and tampons on the floor bad. The theater also kind of smelled like puke as well. That’s never pleasant. There wasn’t a crowd there, so I’m not sure how things could get that out of hand.

I love the new movie theater much better then what I was used to growing up with. The seats recline and are very comfortable. We were in a smaller theatre but still felt big enough and just enough room.

Nice remodeling, I don’t personally like ALL of it, but I do LIKE it! However, nothing compares to Menlo Dine in theatre. It seems that they’ve tried to go for a similar look. If it had that (dine IN theatre), plus liquor, I’d give it a 5 with liquor and food, a 4 with food alone, and a 3 how it is now. (the couches are comfortable, major pro)

This is my go-​to theater for the simple reason that I live nearby. The best part about this movie theater is that they accept college student discounts (ticket prices go down to about $ 6)!
You also wouldn’t know from the weird color theme going on from the outside of the movie theater that it looks much better on the inside (very bright also). They just renovated the place with a new ticket system and awesome, cozy recliner seats.
The ticket system allows you to pick and reserve the seats you want, which is great if you have a big group. If a new movie is about to come out, you better get your seats reserved early or you’ll be screwed! Also, if you buy the tickets online, you will have that convenience fee of $ 1.50 per person.
As for the seats, they come in pairs. There’s 1 arm rest between the 2 chairs in a pair. Between each pair of chairs, there’s a separation of 2 arm rests. So if you want to be a little bit closer to the person you’re with, make sure you choose the paired seats! Honestly, the best part about the seats is the leg room. not for me, but for the people who always kick my damn chair!

Cinemark has renovated its lobby. Quite modern. Snacks are the unmistakable centerpiece when you walk in. More on that later.
The airport-​sized popcorn stand is vast and unwieldy, with roped lines with separate cash and credit lanes.
Hot dogs are boxed and pulled from a drawer. Both the hot dog condiments and popcorn butter are self-​service, which leaves a rather messy situation.
I booked my tickets online. The remodeling seems to have reduced the number of advance ticket machines. Maybe they were off in a corner somewhere? I found one near the snacks line; no wait. Tickets were in my hands in seconds. But it was a 9:30 pm showing on a Sunday night; can’t imagine a Friday or Saturday evening with only one machine.
The seating is luxurious and reservations are decadent. Two of the bathrooms were flooded and the ladies room was not well maintained.
Cinemark removed the street sign with current showings. It’s just a big red Cinemark sign now. I guess it’s cheaper to manage.
Staff were all quite pleasant, polite and helpful.
Overall, they seem to be trying.
If I might recommend? They need to consider the customers’ initial needs upon entering the front door, not Cinemark’s bottom line. Ticketing is primary to customers; snacks are secondary. Customers should be led to ticketing options upon entering. They’ve obviously let Marketing lead them astray. People will buy candy and soda, but only after they have seats.

Holy crap, the renovations! I came here a few months back and was pleasantly surprised that they upgraded the seats to those fancy recliners. And you can choose seats. Now you don’t have to get there a half hour early and sit in a dark theater while the staff is still cleaning to get the best creaky seats available which is all for not because some fat guy with a big head will inevitably sit in front of your anyways.
And this morning while I’m here to catch the early bird special for Avengers 2, I see that they’ve renovated the entrance! It only took about 20 years, but this theater is finally something to talk about in a positive manner!

No conscience! I slipped & fell walking into our theater on wet tile while holding my baby and popcorn. After picking up my screaming baby & notifying the staff, I was then told I was in the wrong seat & ushered to the front row without another word or replacement popcorn. At the end of the showing I completed the incident report amongst the newly posted cautionary sings & ushers sprinkling white powder everywhere. Thanks for your concern!

I don’t enjoy the new reserved seating policy. Yes, the new SEATS are great, but if you want to go see a movie with the entire family, you have to plan it out WAY ahead of time. Can’t just decide to go the movies on the spur of the moment any more, because you’ll never be able to find seats together. Want to order them online instead of going into the theater three days early? Sure, that will be an extra $ 6 — $ 7 please. Convenience fee? Convenient for whom? I am NOT a fan of this new format.

Worst movie theater I have ever been to! Only reason there is one star is because Unilocal makes you. Bought tickets with the assigned seating and when we got In someone was in our seats, not a big deal. The movie wasn’t packed there were other seats and movie was gunna start so we just sat somewhere else. 10 minutes into the movie 2 people come in standing behind and say we’re in their seats. Next thing they go outside to tell on us and get someone to come in and now make us move. At that point we missed the beginning of the movie and it was pitch black and we weren’t going to search for seats so we got a refund and left. I Called the supposed manager at the theater and all she did was repeat the rules of seating to me and just okayd me. No apology from her. Worst management skills. She was rude and Clearly not a good manager and an even worse theater.

Gone are the days of showing up early and fighting for the dead center row. Go to the internet to reserve a good seat before heading out to the theater especially on Friday and Saturday night, or watch from an obtuse angle. The choice is yours.
New reclining pilot seats make every cinema visit better than average. The snack sellection hits all the ussuals from popcorn to junior mints. Overall A good clean theater.

I went to this cinema yesterday to watch the new Hobbit film and was a bit weary of it as it looked quite dated when I walked in.
Usually I’ll go to Freehold or Monmouth Mall but both those AMC theatres were showing only 3D in late slots. I think 3D is pointless so was about to give up until I found this place with an 11.30pm 2D showing.
I shouldn’t have worried as the screen was huge as was the room and it was nice and clean. Cleanliness is my biggest problem with cinemas. While this place is still quite dated in décor, it’s still clean.
The seats were wide and comfy AND reclining. I’m loving this new push of reclining seats at movie theatres, it makes the film that much more enjoyable.
Besides the actual cinema, the staff were polite and prices were what u would expect.
I’d most definitely visit this venue again.

Whaaaat? I used to come here all the time in middle school and high school, but haven’t been back in years since high school.
To my shock, this once-​average movie theater had transformed into a five-​star cinema. Consider the difference between first-​class and coach. That’s the quality of improvement of here versus your average theatre.
The first difference I noticed was when I went to purchase my tickets, I was promoted to select an assigned seat.
When I got to the theatre, I saw rows upon rows of huge reclining chairs – the kind your dreams about having in the living room. These over-​sized chairs were not only comfy, but they recline as well! The arm rests are equipped with controls that allow you to sit – or rather, lie – back and enjoy the movie.
Just try not to fall asleep!
If you’re coming here, make sure you and your group show up early enough to select good seats and to ensure that you’ll sit together. The large seats result in fewer spaces in the theater.
I’m not entirely certain whether all of the theaters are equipped with these chairs, but I imagine so because I saw the theater demonstrating this new comfortable addition in the lobby.
I am often a begrudged movie-​goer, but would not skip a beat to come back here. Even better, I went during a matinée during thanksgiving weekend, and paid less than what I would’ve at a normal theater.
Will save all of my movie-​going trips for here!

The line to buy tickets takes a while, but this is because seats are assigned and you get to pick from what’s available when buying your ticket. Never been to another theater that does this, and it’s fantastic! Then, the seats are all individual recliners, which is just straight-​up luxury, especially when compared to the shabby theaters we’ve been going to in the Red Bank area. No other theater in the area even comes close. I can’t believe we haven’t heard about it before; it will definitely be our go-​to movie theater going forward.
The mid-​afternoon show we saw was only $ 6.25/ticket — MUCH cheaper than what we pay (for crappier theaters) in the area, which is usually around $ 10/​head, even in the afternoon — I think only the first show of the day is discount matinée priced at most places. So, the discount was a total unexpected bonus.
We didn’t try the concessions, but they looked to have all the usual options. Not sure about online ticket buying either, but if I can find out, I’ll update.
