Regal Cinemas Majestic 20 & IMAX

I really dislike this theater. Every time I go there I’m reminded why. The problem is they don’t provide enough staff at the ticket windows or at the concession stands and there are ALWAYS long lines. For instance, on a Saturday afternoon my wife and I went to see The Force Awakens. There are 20 screens and only 2 of something like 6 or 8 ticket windows were open. Of the 16 stands at the concession counter, only 4 were staffed.
Unfortunately, it’s the closest theater to my house.

Why have they not razed this place to the ground?
I don’t care if they were showing movies for free, I would not come back here. It’s filthy, I’ve been in movies where patrons are yelling at screen, talking to each other, and/​or texting through the movie, and the theaters are infested with vermin.
I’ve been here several times and every time I come here, it gets worse and worse. During my last visit, apparently there were mice running though the theater. These chicks on either end of the theater start screaming, literally screaming, and acting a damn fool during the movie.
«Oh my GAWD! It’s mice in here ya’ll! They on the walls!!! Oh my GAAAAWD!!!»
Not once, but at least 5 different times. I understand the outrage, but after the first time I saw it, or it touched me, or whatever the case was, I would have been out of there and immediately demanded a refund. These chicks? Nope. They stayed until the end and hollered throughout the entire movie.
Last time I came, they also had a serious plumbing issue. Most of the toilets and all but 1 or 2 of the sinks was clogged. So gross! The bathrooms are usually not clean, but even by those standards, it was unacceptable.
On a personal note: I was also highly peeved that management deemed it necessary to increase (armed) security after the release of the movie «Red Tails». I would’ve loved to hear the justification for that.

Scumbags sell tickets then lock the doors so you can’t see your movie. They can burn in hell

Good enough theater, no complaints. Ordered my tickets online and walked in and up to the kiosk to print them out with no problems. Theater is conveniently situated in downtown Silver Spring, which is near me and will most likely be my new theater to go to.

I used to come to this theater all the time, back during my college days at UMCP when it was still new. Now, I’m only here for the free movie screenings. Huge cinema with many showings, but everything is old. The clothed seats are uncomfortable and falling apart. They need to renovate and change to reserved seating.
Concessions: Long, slow lines. They have the usual items: popcorn, hot dog, chicken tenders candy, etc. They also have Angus cheeseburgers, pizza, and fried chicken sandwiches with waffle fries.
It’s located in downtown Silver Spring so there are plenty of food options in its vicinity.
Parking: Two large garages nearby. Free during weeknights and weekends.

The place was kept clean. The employees were nice, and the sound in the iMAX was great.
Screens are good, it’s right in the heart of downtown Silver Springs. Great location.

I am very proud that my boys (twin four year olds) sat through their first movie today! However the theatre experience was lack luster.
First of all, there were only two ticket windows open… this is a holiday weekend?! How would you like to wash you hands after going to the bathroom? Not at this theatre… no soap?! To top it off the theatre itself smelled, thankfully my boys are to young to notice these inconveniences but I’m not.
To the management clean up your act, literally.

This movie theater is quite nice and very large. The seats are comfortable with high-​backs. And the theater wasn’t crowded – hooray!
The concession line was long, but it moved fast because the concession area was well-​staffed. Beware – the medium popcorn and the medium drink are both HUGE for one person! Definitely a good size to share between two people though.
I recommend buying tickets on Fandango and having a mobile pass to avoid the ticket-​buying line. They processed the mobile movie tickets without any problems.
Staff was average-​friendliness.
This was a nice Saturday-​evening outing, and it’s right in the heart of Downtown Silver Spring, so there are plenty of nearby establishments to eat and drink before or after the movie.

This is a big Regal. We enjoy watching shows here. I am giving an average rating because they are often understaffed and this leads to ‘waits.’ The waiting is for everything-​getting your tix, having them torn, refreshments… you get the picture.
Do not run in here the last minute thinking you’ll get in quickly. They will not let that happen, folks. You ARE gonna wait!

This is a pretty good theater. Big, lots of options and comfortable seats. They use stadium seating which is great for people like me who are short. The sound system is great and the bathrooms are clean. The screen is smaller than the Uptown and some other theaters but overall it’s a pretty decent place.
Tip– if possible, buy your tickets online ahead of time. The ticket window always has a huge line that seems to move very slowly. Same with the concession stands. Leave yourself some extra time before the movie as things take longer here than in other theaters.

Very poorly managed.
1) The line for tickets is always long. I think they deliberately limit the number of people working the ticket windows to force people to use the kiosks and pay the extra service fee.
2) You cannot get in line for the concession stand until you get your ticket, which means you are forced to wait again — even if you have two people in your party.

Not really anything special about this theater. Saw a free screening here on Tuesday and I think everything was just meh.
Notes:
— Bathrooms were dirtier compared to others
— Movie started 45 minutes late
— Small concessions area and standard food options
— Parking garage is free after 7pm.
— Wish the seats were more comfy and the theather was overall cleaner.

No spoilers here on movie screening just review of theater
I finally attended a free advance screening at this location. The screened it in IMAX. They had us line up against wall up at the top of the stairs. The line was tailing down the steps. They decided to move us close the the theater room. Wait what… there is already people lined up. I thought I was 50^th in line has now turn to 100^th in line. Normally they seat half hour before screening. Someone didn’t get the memo. Screening will start in 15 minutes and we are still lined-​up against wall. We are told to get our snacks while waiting to be seated. Yeah right and lose my SPOT. Oh no! I did not use the concession stand as I was more focus on getting into free screening of Terminator Genisys.. The lines there (concession) looked like it was moving slow fast. Yes, you have to see it in action to understand slow fast.
Yes, we made it in for seating. This is the biggest IMAX theater I have seen. So, yeah it felt like climbing Mt Rushmore but the view was worth it. I love how they first start all IMAX movies with the count down. It feel so close and loud.
the sound went though my body. Speakers everywhere the sound was ok.
Only problem the floors are sticky and I don’t want to guess what it could be. My shoes need a vaccine for sure.
The restrooms were clean… I know finding clean restroom is like a needle in a haystack.
I will be back!

This is still my favorite cinema in DC metropolitan area even I don’t live in Silver Spring. The parking in the garage in Wayne Street is free on the weekend. It beats finding parking downtown any day.
So there you go, no. 1 problem solved.
As for the cinema itself, it is large with many screens showing at the same time. I use Fandago to check my movie schedule and time. Like any cinema chain, over priced food and drink.
Nothing else comes to mind apart from that, but since parking is solved, This is my favourite venue.

It’s what you would expect for a movie theater. I like the location, the screens are big, IMAX is expensive, they keep it clean, and the temperature control is just right. This is what I am looking for when I want to watch a movie.
4 Stars!

It’s a movie theater with popular films centrally located. And that’s why you keep going to it.
This theater is in downtown Silver Spring and has a public garage next door that is clean, safe, and free on nights and weekends. There are many places to eat around so you can easily make a night of it. They also offer the latest movies, many theaters, and lots of show-​times.
On the downtime, the theater rooms are small, and the first few rows are too close to the screen. There aren’t that many rows, though the rows are wide, so get there early to get central seating. Too many kids, too much talking, too many cell phones, you know, the usual movie issues. The staff seems disinterested, the concessions are unimaginative, and the prices are high. Also, it’s not really Imax, it’s just a larger screen (see Smithsonian for actual Imax).
If you want to see a new release in a theater that offers lots of options and is easy to get to by car or by metro, this works.

Accessibility in the downtown part of Silver Spring near the metro and garages is good. The theaters are upstairs, and the escalators were down when I was visiting, which irked me. Restrooms were awfully small for a theater of this size.
It does offer some fairly large screens and the potential for a nice night out in the area, being not far from much of D.C. and having cheaper and better local food options than some other theaters. There’s also a handy covered seating area right across the street.

Enormous movie theater conveniently located in Downtown Silver Spring and walking distance from the Silver Spring metro. It’s near a bunch of restaurants so there are many options to grab a bite to eat before or after a movie.
I was impressed by how big the movie theater is. The box office is near the entrance; to reach the theaters you must go up a huge flight of stairs/​take a very long escalator ride. The theaters itself are quite spacious and the seats are pretty comfy. I sat in the very last row and still had lots of leg space even after fully extending my leg!

This was my first visit to Regal Majestic. I’d say it’s your typical theater. We were here for a pre-​screening of the new Avengers movie, and I felt that they had everything well prepared. There were employees walking around to ensure that everyone had a pair of the 3D glasses. The entire cinema, even the restrooms, were clean and well maintained.
Because of the timing we did not have an opportunity to eat before the screening, so we had to eat dinner. It was less than $ 8 for a chicken sandwich or hamburger with fries — not bad for a theater. However, I’d pass on the chicken sandwich next time. It was more like a giant nugget from the school cafeteria — gross.
All in all it was a good experience and I would certainly go back to Regal Majestic to watch another movie.

I came here for a special pre-​screening of «Avengers: Age of Ultron» this past Tuesday. The theater was clean and so were the bathrooms. They did a nice job of setting up for the screening and directing the people as we came in.
We came straight from DC and had to eat dinner here; the food (burger and chicken sandwich; both with fries) was ok but it took fooooooreveeeeer to come out. It was almost as if they had no idea people were coming. Not sure if the grills were even on or what but man I waited for quite some time.
The food was actually priced pretty reasonably (~$ 8 per meal) but one medium drink was over $ 5! Insane. That’s how the movies get us though.
