Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas

I grew up around this movie theater as a kid, it used to be a great theater back in the day, it slid downhill after the Godfather Part 3 incident in 1990, but the neighborhood surrounding it and the nearby mall also slid downhill as well. Still I used to visit it for nostalgia, the notable thing about this movie theater when it was around was the security, this place is like an airport terminal, there are cameras all over the building, and you have to go through metal detectors to get inside, it became the ultimate ghetto movie theater experience. It closed late last year and was recently demolished, I wished they renovated the place instead. I had a lot of fond memories of this place.

This cinema is horrible! Dirty ! They need to renovate and change those uncomfortable, old and very outdated seats! It only gets one star for distance and is close to the mall!

Sound is horrible in this theater. It’s barely surround sound. I haven’t been here in years and decided to see Taken 3 (that sucked too). At first when I walked in I thought it was nice that Sunrise Multiplex gave me a nostalgic feeling– the décor hasn’t changed much (it still looks ’80’s), the ticket booth still has manual letters– until I got to the snack counter. The guy who rung me up took forever! 10 minutes to get a kiddie popcorn combo? This is not rocket science. The head popcorn lady yelled at my popcorn getter guy saying «you have to give her the kiddie popcorn in the kiddie box!!» I was thinking «lady I don’t care I have to go».
Now for the seats– they are horrible! The seats squeak and you have to sit up straight since it barely reclines. Not cool for a 2 hour movie. It’s so strange to see a theater with like 300 seats still. I’m used to cushiony or reclining seats these days. I will not return. $ 13 is not worth it to leave with an uncomfortable back.
Oh and there’s still metal detectors here ever since there was that Christmas shooting in 1985.

Oh man I can’t believe this place is closing on Monday. What a fu**ing dump. Horrible service, I waited 28 minutes in line once for popcorn, but lots of memories there. I’m shocked it stayed open this long.

Ugliest and most ghetto cinema Ive ever walked into. Asked the person I was with to please leave and get a refund but now Im stuck typing this review in an empty theater that smells like an old person. Scared because I had to walk through a metal detector and have my belongings checked after purchasing tickets. Dont come here, stay home. You welcome!
The one star is only bc Unilocal doesn’t give an option for less

The worse theater ever. The staff is very rude, the theater is dirty and very old fashion. The seats are very uncomfortable and squeak. I have been here twice once on my own and I vowed to never come back, then again with my job. Every time I come I seem to start itching. Stay away from this theater by all means. Spend your money else where. They seriously need to renovate. Then to top it off its always obnoxious hood boogers who don’t know how to act in there taking pictures in the middle of movies, talking non stop and acting ridulous etc. The list could go on. I hate it. O stars they suck!

I have only been to this place on 2 occasions with a group of close friends.
1^st experience: I went to see a late night movie with my 3 close friends. The movie was called ‘Ouija’. The ticket was extremely cheap only costing $ 7.50. The line for the popcorn wasn’t very long. I believe I went to the movie at 7:00 but the movie ended up starting later. The movie screening room was so small as well as the screen. The floor was sticky and MY ARM REST BROKE. It was eh.
2^nd experience: I went recently to see Mockingjay with another group of close friends. The women at the popcorn stand was extremely rude to me and overcharged me for my nachos. The movie experience was incredible and the showing room was very big.

This movie theater sucks and should be knocked down. The place is so ghetto with metal detectors when you enter the theater like I thought I was at the movies not jfk. Anyways, the only reason I am giving it one star is because the guy at the concession stand was nice. However, I went to go see a movie at 755 pm and I had to wait for the movie which was pathetic. I had to talk to an employee for them to start my movie. My movie didn’t start until 815. Thats absurd! Very unprefessional! The seats were digusting. I sat down on the chair and the arm cushion fell off! How gross is that?! STAY AWAY.

I just got here chairs are old and the movie didn’t even start yet and it smells like pee ewwwww… never again not worth $$$

First you have to walk through medal detectors! Scary much??? The theater is in need of a renovation, the seats are all on one level, so if someone has, a big head or big hair, good luck watching the movie. I would never recommend any one go there.

Scariest theatre I’ve ever seen. Seats are dirty and crooked. We were the first people in the theatre so thankfully we had a choice of where to sit. Fairly cheap but should be cheaper for what it is. They really need to update the seating, it is ancient and so uncomfortable. Also NO cup holders?! Whattt? Came here out of convenience, but will never go there again.

I wish Green Acres would buy and renovate this theater because they NEED it in the worst way! Theater seats are squeaky, unkempt, and falling apart. Floors are notoriously sticky. Screens are small, compared to size of the theaters. Sound systems are weak. Ticket prices are unreasonably high for a theater of such quality. Staff are decent. I also look past the metal detectors because I choose to err on the side of caution. After all, they were placed in this particular theater due to incidents in the past (nothing too recent).
However, there is plenty of parking, a clean bright atrium, and good movies tend to stick around for a nice period of time. It’s also convenient for immediate locals and those who are visiting Green Acres Mall.

I hate this theater … And here’s why:
Metal detectors
Nasty concession stands
Dirty bathrooms
Sticky floors
Rowdy people
Parking is a walk to the front
And the popcorn was stale.
Never coming back here again!
I gave the movie one star…, smh!

I absolutely dislike this theater. Who wants to go through metal detectors? Anyone ?? I think not. But I go because it’s the closest to my house and when I get the urge to watch a movie they are always playing the latest. And the theaters are not as clean as they should be. Sad to say I’ve been going here for years and it’s still the same ghetto theater from before.

In a nutshell: A movie theater with a metal detector!!! WHA!!!
Yeah. I used to think that most movie theaters provide a decent enough experience that you don’t really notice the quality of the theater and focus on the movie you came to watch. I watched 47 Ronin, which was only a little better in quality than this theater.
Ambience ²⁄₅
You have a metal detector. It makes me wonder one thing: what kind of people go to this theater? Is this theater known for fights/​gangs/​violence? Made me a little uneasy feeling like I was walking into a HS in a rough neighborhood… and I teach at one! The theater for sure needs to be renovated. Seats are old and feel like they’re falling apart.
Service ²⁄₅
Don’t remember. After the metal detector search, I went straight to the theater and sat down.
Parking ³⁄₅
Parking is about 100 yards from the entrance. When it’s 20 degrees and windy, that feels like a mile away.
Overall ²⁄₅
Definitely needs some renovation… and I could do without the metal detector.

This theater is usually dirty with seats that are old and falling apart. It could really do with some renovations. They have the infamous metal detectors when you walk in after buying your ticket… which I guess is necessary for the type of crowd this place attracts. If you come on Tuesday, tickets are half priced, which is always great. Overall, it’s in dire need of a makeover

Don’t even bother. Just keep driving… horrible seats (although not the worst, lynbrook theater holds that award) I can hear sounds from the movie in the next theater… definitely not a good thing.
And if I’m going to be overcharged for popcorn, at least it should be fresh! Very stale popcorn. Unfortunately there are not too many choices to see a movie in the area.

Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. We must be over in the Gheeeeeetttttttttttttttttooooooo!
Do you like metal detectors? TSA style shake downs? Large groups of punk kids roughhousing in the parking lot throwing more than just poorly articulated insults around? The smell of urine, pine-​sol, body order and regret? Rude patrons? Mmmm, if not then I’d hit up somwhere else to see your latest tear jerking Nicholas Sparks inspired film.
Oh yeah, the popcorn is stale too.
AVOID if you have any common sense.

In the wake of the CO shootings, I don’t think I will be heading to the box office anytime soon.
Although, now that I think of it, I have heard there was someone killed a long time ago.
Going to the movies was always «the thing to do» as a teenager. It was the event of the weekend. We would kick back, relax, enjoy the show, sneak in some brews…
The last time I went to this the theater was years and years ago. I remember having to walk through metal detectors just to buy a ticket. Back then, I thought that was so weird! Now, I completely get it.
Sunrise Multiplex is a really big theater. It must have 10 different movies at any given time. The arenas are large and there is plenty of leg room in most of the theaters.
It is a shame that it doesn’t draw the best crowd, because it is pretty close to my house and borders Queens.
Wish I could call this theater an amazing place, but I just can’t.

I didn’t want to believe the rumors. We all know someone got shot here, but that can happen anywhere (right, Colorado?). So, feeling adventurous (and with two free ticket vouchers in hand), we ventured here to see Ted. We figured it’d be somewhat empty, being that Ted has been out for a few weeks. I insisted this wasn’t a good idea, but he assured me it would probably be fine. Well, he was wrong.
We got to the theatre and waited on a line that moved like molasses to get the tickets. Then, we got to go through the metal detector, making me feel as if I was going to board a plane or visit the Statue of Liberty. After being cleared, off we went to Theatre 11, which is a narrow theatre, and makes it look like the screen is recessed so far back, that you have no choice but to sit up front.
The crowd (there were maybe 20 people in there), was loud and annoying. Two girls next to us laughed loudly and obnoxiously the entire time. Other people simply talked throughout the entire movie. A family was in there acting as if it was their own living room.
The movie wasn’t all that good, and it was even worse because it had to contend with loud, rude folks who didn’t realize that there were actually people there to see a movie in some peace and quiet.
To top it all off, I tried to use the bathroom after the movie ended. I was greeted by a bathroom full of vomit. It was all over the floor, on the stalls. I almost lost my own lunch.
I will never come back here, even if you paid me to.
