United Artists Circle Centre 9

This movie theater is really about the only reason I come down to circle centre anymore! So many shops have closed but they have upgraded the movie theater. The reclining leather (maybe just pleather) Seats are very comfortable and the room between rows is enough that even if people are fully extended you can get through. It is assigned seating, but I have never been to a full movie here so you can really pick your own seat if you don’t like what you initially had. Movie selection is decent but service is slow. I’ll keep coming back if I’m downtown just for the seats!

Want to feel like you’re watching a movie on your couch? This is your theatre.
Pros:
— SUPER comfy reclining seats (this is honestly the only reason I go to this particular theatre)
— Convenient location in the Circle Center Mall
Cons:
— Expensive ticket price
— Mediocre cleanliness (about the same as any movie theatre these days)
— Slow service — don’t show up when previews are already rolling
TIP: Go on Tuesdays for half-​price tickets and popcorn. (Can’t beat those seats for $ 6.50)

Are you wanting to see a movie in the downtown Indy area? Look no further to UA located in Circle Center Mall.
What UA has going for it:
+ It has the new reclining seats
+ /​-​You can repurchase your ticket via Fandango and pick your seat before you arrive; however, you will pay a fee for this service
+ Large number of screens showing the latest films
+ The screen is large and clear and the sound is nice
The downside
–Table attached to seats, yes it can be sort of moved to the side; however, it is still in a somewhat in a awkward position, especially if you want to cross you legs or bending your legs up
— Shitty small lobby that can get packed if they are behind schedule and don’t seat on time
— concession prices are not cheap

I’ve seen countless movies here over the last 15 or 20 years. I’m also quite loyal to Circle Centre, as I worked there for a decade, and I try to patronize its businesses regularly. The mall is going through a big slump and I’m really hoping it can turn around.
In any case, yesterday was the first time I’ve been to this cinema since they remodeled the theatres with stadium-​style seating and super comfortable recliners. I loved it! The only reason I’m giving less than 5 stars is the women’s restroom. Several doors are missing locks, and due to poor design, people constantly bump into each other when entering and exiting. The floor sorely needed mopping. I know it was Saturday night and things get busy, but yikes.
Otherwise, a fun experience. I enjoyed «10 Cloverfield Lane» in a fabulous recliner, and due to the central downtown location, I was able to hit up the nightlife afterwards.

The comfy seats hardly make up for the extremely rude customer service and the fact that we didn’t have sound for the first few trailers.

This theatre is located in the circle centre mall. Amazing! Tickets are pricey. large popcorn is 7.99. That’s very expensive. But on the plus side the seats recline and feet go up

Here’s why I love this theater:
Reclining, comfortable seats with tray tables and ample (and then some) leg room. No worrying about the kids behind you kicking the back of your seat.
They validate your parking in the mall parking garage — make sure you bring your parking ticket with you to the concession stand/​when buying a ticket.
It’s very clean and the staff is generally friendly.
Great rewards program (Regal Crown)
Good movie theater popcorn!
Reasons why I’m not giving it 5 stars:
Ticketing process usually takes forever — the past few times I’ve been (on a weeknight, mind you) — the only ticketing window they’ve had open is at the concession stand. So, the lines have been quite long.
I could honestly do without the pick your own seat feature. I’d be happy to grab any open seat when going in — I feel like it takes more time to pick your seat and find it in the theater.
Concession stand prices. I know that’s a norm and I should expect it, but $ 5 for a bottle of water does seem like a bit much.

I like the alt comfy recliner style seating. Sometimes they assign seats. Maybe that’s a new thing, but when the theater is 80% empty, source of good laugh.
If you sign up for free member card, you qualify for free popcorn after 2^nd or 3^rd movie. Win win.

I always thought the Circle Center theater would be meh for some reason, but surprisingly it is very nice! I went during the week and it wasn’t crowded at all. The staff was friendly at the counters. Food is like every other movie theater (although I had a surprisingly good hot dog. Props for that.) The seats are amazing! They are large, leather reclining seats. The sound and screening quality is also very high. Very clean inside. I’d definitely come here again!

I went here a couple weeks ago for the first time, with a friend, to see Spectre (great movie, by the way). It had been a few years, actually, since I had seen a movie in a theater at all.
When we walked up, they were selling all their tickets from behind the concession counter. It wasn’t very busy, so that didn’t take terribly long. I didn’t find the ticket prices to be terrible, but was intrigued that they assign seats at a movie theater. I’ve never run into that before. I think it could be a cool idea, but in practice, it was a 20% full theater and they crowded everyone together in the center of the room. Might want to spread people out a bit more.
Concessions were horrendously expensive. $ 12 for two large drinks? Yeah, no thanks. I know movie theaters are expensive in this area, but really, that’s too far.
As for the theater itself, I was very impressed with the comfy, wide reclining seats. Haven’t seen those before and they really made the experience better.
The movie itself was crystal clear on the screen and the sound level was correct for the size of the room.
I’d come back and see another movie here.

This theatre has recliner chairs. You can go so far back that you could easily fall asleep. Also note that due to these amazing seats you have to preselect your seat when buying tickets and that can hold up the ticket buying process.
Hot tip: Tuesday is cheap night. Only $ 7.50 for a movie after 5pm and they have deals at the concession stand too. These deals require a Regal Card but you can sign up and it’s free to do so.
Also don’t forget they validate your mall parking so it’s free!

My feelings toward this theater have shifted over time, and so I’m suggesting if you haven’t gone in awhile, give this location a try. I really like the renovations, mainly the powered recliners! They are comfortable, and I like the armrest cup holders as well as the swing-​arm table/​trays. I also think the crowd has calmed down. When the mall first opened, it seemed a little crazy with a lot of parent-​less kids taking up residence all day and night. Now, it seems to be just the average crowd depending on what movie is showing. The concessions are still the average items: popcorn, candy, nachos, and soda. The cost is still the average heart stopping, cost more than a meal at a restaurant. Nonetheless, as the chain theaters go, I am in the phase of liking this location.

I have not been to the movies in a while, and I clearly have not been to this theater in an even LONGER while because it has drastically changed.
Two words words: reclining seats.
The rows are now lined with reclining seats, which allows for lots of leg and walking room. This is really cool so you don’t feel like you’re sitting in someone’s lap when you’re trying to go to the restroom.
Another interesting feature is being able to reserve your seats when you buy your tickets. I think that’s kind of fancy. Although is hard to tell which rows are which at first when you go in (because it’s low lighting), because the letters and numbers are so small. But that’s a small inconvenience compared to being able to walk right in and sit exactly where you want to (granted you bought your tickets in enough time).
The theater itself was clean, and for the most part, the staff was courteous. I’d definitely go back, especially since I get a student discount ;)

This is a great movie theater. I’ve never been to a movie where I could fully recline my seat before. I came here with my wife last Monday evening to watch Inside Out. I’ll definitely be back.
Cons:
1. Under staffed (maybe because it was a Monday) which resulted in a long line for tickets at the concessions stand (there’s a ticket booth which was closed) and dirty bathrooms. The theater was still clean.
2. You choose your seat when you buy your ticket. This could be a pro, and wasn’t an issue for us, but if you got stuck sitting next to or near an awful person this could prevent you from getting up and relocating.
Pros:
1. Really comfy, fully reclining seats. I suppose this could be a con if you’re predisposed to napping while movie viewing.
2. Lots of leg room and in general lots of space. The seats are grouped in sets of two so you’ll share an armrest with your viewing partner, but on your other side there are two armrests so you don’t have to fight with a stranger over the space. Make sure you book a pair though.
General observation:
1. The tickets weren’t too pricey ($ 11.50 for a nighttime showing) and they offer a free membership (you don’t have to give any personal information or sign up, they just hand you the card) and it takes $ 1 off full priced tickets. So the ticket was actually $ 10.50. You’re paying for the real estate and you take up four times as much space as you would in a normal theater.
2. The showtimes for movies aren’t posted above the doors. If you happen to be the kind of person who looks for opportunities to see a free second movie (there are some of you out there) you’ll need to plan ahead.
I can’t speak to the concessions. I usually bmof (bring my own food).

OK, this movie theater is the coolest. When perusing these reviews, definitely sort them by date – things have majorly changed! The last time I visited was in the mid-​90s, basically when it opened, and I don’t remember anything fantastic about it looking through a kid’s eyes.
Here’s what I found last night when I went to see Inside Out:
–The recliners are legit. I had heard about them and my first thought was «Crumbs. They will be sticky and covered in crumbs.» Nope. Comfortable, electronic controls, cup holders. They are the real deal. Recliners don’t lend themselves to stadium seating, but no fear, there was not a bad view in the house.
–Reserved seats when you buy the tickets. An interesting concept, though I’m not sure it’s necessary. My fear was that we would reserve (and feel forced to sit in) seats next to some chatty kids, but it worked out OK. The theater was empty enough that we could have switched if necessary.
–Some (polite) kids. We went to a Pixar movie that started at 6:50pm in the summer, so we were totally expecting there to be some little ones. We were correct, but I had no complaints. They were well-​behaved and quiet. I hope it’s always like that!
–Silly expensive concessions. I never buy these, but it was like $ 4.50 for a hot dog. That’s ridiculous.
–Free loyalty card that comes without a sales pitch but with an automatic $ 1 off per ticket each time? Sounds great to me.
–Comped mall parking for up to 3 hours. Something about it being downtown makes this theater vaguely feel like a hassle, but this makes it better!
I’ll definitely be back!

The good: The full-​sized reclining seats really are something special and different. Yes, you pay for that, as well as sky-​high prices for concessions, but I guess we all know that going into it. This really is a nice way to watch a movie; the spacious seats create distance between you and the person next to you, which is nice unless you’re there with a significant other. As other reviewers have mentioned, these theaters were recently updated, so everything is still very new and fresh. I’m sure it will decline as time goes on, but for now, it’s one of the nicest movie theaters in the Indianapolis area.
The not-​so-​good: My only complaint would be the young lady at the concession counter. She couldn’t have been any less friendly, which is a shame, considering the extra money you pay to come here. I’m not expecting 5-​star service from a teenage concession stand attendant, but I will tell you this: If you’re there the next time I come, and you give me that (*&^#$ look again when you «throw» me my $ 8 cup of Coke and $ 7 Junior Mints, I will be speaking to your manager. If it turns out (God Forbid) you ARE the manager, then I’m demanding a refund and walking out, and I may even launch a social media campaign to thoroughly expose you. Make it a point to permanently wipe that look off your face, or just quit and work somewhere else. Sorry, but that look really pissed me off, especially on Fathers Day with my two boys.

This place just got a whole lot better than you may remember! Super comfortable motorized recliners offer extreme relaxation while catching a flick. Bonus: No one knows this place is upgraded and awesome, so no lines and hardly a soul in the place. It’s all yours!
However, the price matches the amenities, $ 11 for a Monday night?! The chairs are worth it.

I’ve never had any bad experiences at this theatre so far and I’m a pretty big movie goer. The individual theatres have all have all been pretty nice, spacious, and clean. I love the new reclining seats, although my boyfriend got a broken one during our last visit. Luckily, there were only a handful of other people watching the same movie so he just moved.
The employees here are fine. Some aren’t the friendliest but no real complaints. I’ve never encountered any rude movie goers before and I’ve come at a wide variety of times (even New Year’s Eve).
Parking is super convenient, especially since they validate up to 3 hours. Make sure you go to the concession counter to get your parking voucher validated though.
If you have a Regal card (free!), you get $ 1 off each movie ticket. And there’s $ 6 Tuesdays.

What do you do on Christmas night after all of the family festivities are over? Go to a movie, of course, especially since the United Artists Theatre at Circle Centre Mall was pretty much the only business open in downtown Indy on Christmas.
The wife and I decided to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. The ticket process and concessions were nothing different or better than at any other theater in America. I can’t compare it to other theaters in the Indianapolis area, but prices seemed to be $ 1 – 2 cheaper across the board than what can be found in the DC-​area where we live. What set this multi-​screened movie house apart from any other that I’ve been in was that all of the seats in the particular theater our movie was being shown were comfortable, Lazy Boy-​type recliners with wide armrests with built-​in drink holders, a small table, and plenty of room between each row of seats. Certainly, this isn’t a recent innovation to the movie theater experience, but it was new to me and captured some of the best qualities of both watching movies at home and in a darkened theater. Definitely a winner!

Okay, well there is only so much you can say about a theater. I wasn’t going to review until I saw that it had three stars. From my understanding, this theater had a facelift and I never saw it prior to this weekend. If you read my reviews, you know I don’t like regular theaters where my feet dangle off the seat (yes… I’m short!). I like reclining seats and I love IPIC.
At first thought, I thought this was going to be a regular theater, because it is in a mall (very nice mall). I was okay however, because we were going to a matinée. Tickets were I think $ 8 each, which isn’t bad at all especially when you get inside. WOW. I was pleasantly surprised. They were soft black leather seat, that reclined. VERY NICE and the inside of the theater look very posh, unlike the regular outside. I want to only see movies here in Indy. I actually liked the seats here better than at IPIC. weird? I know right!
Enjoy Indy people…
