Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Crystal City is a 49,000 sq foot, 9 screen modern cinema, with the luxury of food and drink service at your reclining plush leather seat. To place your food order, use the QR code for the menu, make your choices and press the convenient built-in server call button to summon the server to take care of your order preference. For food, I prefer to stick to plain popcorn to consume in the dark, anything else would be distracting. A big plus is their enforced strict policy against talking or texting during films. I wish more cinemas would have the same warning given at the start of every film. The Alamo Drafthouse has a premium auditorium featuring an enormous 66 foot wide screen laser projection with immersive Dolby Atmos 52 speaker surround sound which really packs a punch. Thankfully, we wore our earbuds, or would have experienced some hearing stress or loss. ***Do arrive 30 minutes early to get your food and drinks orders in, thus to avoid being interrupted during the movie** Enjoy!

Incredibly, I never ended up reviewing Arlington Drafthouse. I used to go there all the time when…read moreI lived in Arlington from 2014-2017. A lot of good memories here. Last time I was here was in March 2023. Representing February in this series, I went back to February 2016 without a Yelp review. I saw my old credit card bill had charges on Feb '16. When I lived in Arlington at this time, I paid for a year movie pass, & sometimes I would eat at Arlington Cinema & sometimes eat beforehand. Sadly, they were having financial problems in the later part of 2010's with 2nd run movie model as people were either watching movies new in the theater or waiting to stream. At some point, Drafthouse sent an email saying they weren't doing the movies anymore & just shows, special events, & the occasional themed movie night like a classic Christmas Story (at Christmastime) or whatever. I went for a couple of comedy shows & special events, but the vast majority of the times was for movies. Service was a bit of hit or miss. Sometimes the food took a while to get served, but the food was usually good. I got a variety of items over the years like the burger, sandwiches, wraps, wings, pizza, etc. Nothing was top notch, but nothing was bad either. It was on average pretty good. Servers were sometimes friendly, but not always. They are called Drafthouse because they serve Beer & alcohol, & I remember I put a few down back in the day! But in all honesty, I'm not sure I ever had more than one in a sitting; otherwise, I'd be drunk, broke, & even more broke needing to Uber home & Uber back to my car the next morning. So, I'd never do such a thing. There was one time when I lived on Columbia Pike in Arlington near the Fairfax County (Bailey's Crossroads) border, my car was in repair, & I was determined to see a movie that I want to say a Monday night & wanted to use my annual movie pass. So, I took the bus! The Columbia Pike line bus was very efficient, not much difference in timing as if I drove myself there. I continued with the 2nd run movies into 2017, but I moved from Arlington to MD in Fall 2017, so I generally stopped going here. However, I did continue to come on a few occasions for comedy shows. In 2019-2020, I was on INWEGO, which was an event based app, you paid $19 for one event in the month, $39 for 3, or $59 for 5. I generally did the $39 for 3, but sometimes did $19 depending on what they had for the month. It was cool things like concerts, plays, comedy shows, & sporting events. I took advantage of all of the above. My girlfriend at that time & her friend/other friend husband traveled from Wheaton, MD to Arlington on Friday, February 22, 2020 for a good comedy show. That was the only time I used INWEGO to go to Arlington Drafthouse. I joined INWEGO in mid-April 2019, & we know what happened in mid-March 2020. INWEGO sadly went defunct in September 2020 as they couldn't operate under the Covid environment. I joked the INWEGO era was the best 11 months of my life. I went on a couple of dates here over the years in the 2010's for movies. Prior to October 2014, I lived in Alexandria & sometimes went to Arlington Drafthouse. One time in January 2013, I had a first date at Lost Dog Cafe across the street & saw [deep breath] Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb. We kissed at the end. So, that was a good example of a date. A funny example of a date was shortly after from February 2013 (see my November 2013 Bangkok 54 Yelp review), where we went for dinner & then a free comedy show. Here's that experience: "My experience was on Saturday, February 9 (2013). It was a date with an awesome black chick I met a couple of weeks earlier. We had a nice time & walked next door to the Arlington Drafthouse Cinema for a free comedy show in the Green Room. Check it out if you are over at Bangkok 54 or other area restaurants on a Friday or Saturday. During the comedy show, I had my arm around her, & one of the comedians pointed out to me in the audience & said 'you are a lucky guy to be with her. I never have any luck with black chicks. This guy is doing something right. We need to talk after the show.'. This made me feel great since it was only a first date. This was confirmation that the date went extremely well. However, we could never schedule a 2nd date. She later told me that she didn't feel the chemistry...at least she was honest, but after all that, I thought for sure it was an excellent date." Also, went here on another date in June 2016 & saw Zootopia here. My dating life was bad in 2016, & she was no exception. In January 2023, I went to a comedy show with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. I was bold talking to one of the female comedians who was local to the DC area, got one of the comedians Instagram & asked her on a date; not surprisingly no reply. Last time I went was March 2023 for Oscar party. Won a DVD in contest. Not a bad time.

But I have friends in Ballston and it also helps that compared to AMC Courthouse there's a food court in Ballston Quarter offering more food variety. The Regal in Ballston feels contemporary when you're in the theatre and dated when you're outside of it. There's not really a ton going on and there's a lot of big space between the theatres. Wish there was some decorations of upcoming films or something the main lobby where the concessions are has more character but also feels very limited and the lighting is a bit meh. But the theatre itself is good. It might not be my first pick for a theatre given Regal isn't a chain i usually see movies at but Ballston Quarter as a whole is just a nice spot overall that it's hard not to kill two birds with one stone.

How about for the 1st 1/2hrs of a $19 movie, with $15 popcorn, they hang in the actual theater, and check in a couple of times, to identify people who are disruptive in any way..? and ask them to be polite to everyone trying to enjoy a movie? Nahhh... I know... that's crazy talk. Expecting someone to be polite in public. Or a manager to be proactive to ensure ALL guests enjoy the show. Back to Netflix and Streaming for me.

You must park in the garage (not in the outdoor lot or street parking). They had a machine to validate the parking ticket at the guest services counter, and we were covered for the full three hours. It was easy to find the theater. We took the escalators up and found the kiosks parked right outside the movie theater entrance. They had multiple kiosks in the hallway where you can buy your tickets and order food in advance. Once you enter the theater lobby, there's even more kiosks set-up. There was even extra lobby/lounge seating if you want to enjoy your food and drinks outside the theater. (Note: this is for the movie theater food, not your own - outside food and drinks are not allowed.) There's another bar dining area and additional theaters (9-14) on the upper level. Reclining leather seats have become the norm at most movie theaters. But LOOK raises the bar with heated seats AND buttons to adjust the headrest. We are living in the future here! But wait, there's more. They have swinging trays attached for a "movie-dinner" experience and QR codes on said seat trays to scan and have the food delivered right to your seat! You can also order at the concessions stand, but it's just not as fun (though there is an 18% service fee tacked on... call it a built-in gratuity for the door-to-door service). Brunch items are served before 2pm. They also have alcoholic beverages for that adult dining experience. We ordered popcorn and a soda and one of their brunch items - Chicken and Pancakes! The popcorn and soda were brought directly to the seats within five minutes. The chicken and pancakes came about 30 minutes later, while the movie had already started. We actually thought they had forgotten about the chicken and pancakes because there was no acknowledgment of the order being worked on when the popcorn was delivered. Several other people received their food items throughout the movie (the staff have little flashlights and will make their way to you). It can be a little distracting, but it winds down as most people will be watching the movie instead of ordering more food on their phone. People ordered pizzas, bowls, chicken tenders, burgers, etc. Instead of the movie theater smelling like popcorn, it smells like a restaurant (primarily of hot fried foods). This can make you hungry during the movie and might make you want to order more food. I was tempted to order fries during the movie, but I opted to keep my phone away and enjoy the movie. At the end of the movie, four giant trash cans were near the exits and they were overflowing. Good for the theater for making all those concession sales, and good for the audience for cleaning up after themselves. We sat in Row D and I did find the sound to be a smidge too loud. Some scenes in the movie were a little pixelated. I'm not sure if that's due to me sitting in the fourth row (too close to the screen) or if that's more on the movie studio. Restrooms were okay... generally clean, which I would hope since we were one of the first screenings of the day. I will note that the sink water pressure wasn't great and some of the sinks didn't seem to work. But overall, this is a nice movie theater experience if you're looking to indulge, kick back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Dear reader, AMC…read moreCourthouse Plaza 8 is one of my favourite neighborhood theatres. Located in Arlington's Courthouse area, it is literally just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Courthouse Metro station, making it incredibly convenient whether you're coming from DC, Alexandria, or elsewhere in Northern Virginia. Although it's a smaller AMC, it still offers a solid variety of movies and showtimes, so it never feels limiting. The staff are consistently friendly and quick, whether you're picking up mobile concessions or scanning your ticket to head inside. The theatres are always clean, everything is in good working order, and the biggest upgrade is the reclining seats. Every auditorium has the comfortable recliners, which make even the longest movies much more enjoyable. The lobby also has a few claw machines, which are a fun little distraction if you arrive early. Overall, this theatre combines convenience, comfort, and reliable service into exactly the kind of moviegoing experience I keep coming back for.

Once you get settled in, it's pretty easy to forget about everything else! I also loved the older movie posters scattered throughout the theater. They add a nostalgic touch that feels like a little trip down movie-theater memory lane. And speaking of nostalgia...the carpet definitely looks like it could have been installed sometime in the late '80s or early '90s. The theater could use a slight refresh, but I kind of appreciate that it still has some of that old-school character. The theater is spread across three levels--three screens on the bottom floor, two on the main floor, and three upstairs. The auditorium we were in was one of the smaller ones, so there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. Staff was friendly and service was quick. One thing that really stood out was seeing a staff member cleaning the theater after the show. He made a point of thanking customers for coming, which was a nice personal touch. Concessions are pretty much what you'd expect at a movie theater. We grabbed chicken tenders, popcorn, and a drink, and of course, the Coke Freestyle machines are always a nice bonus. Overall, 4 stars. It may be an older theater that could use a refresh, but the comfortable recliners, friendly staff, smaller auditoriums, and nostalgic atmosphere make AMC Courthouse 8 a solid place to catch a movie.

We…read morechose this theater because you can actually have lunch or dinner while watching your movie, and it turned out to be a great experience. We arrived just after 11:15, but the theater wasn't open yet, so we walked around and checked out some of the other theaters while we waited. I was impressed with the setup. The largest theater I saw held just over 100 people, while the smallest had a little more than 70. All of them had comfortable recliner seats with a small swing-out table and plenty of room. They even have some special seats between the regular seats that they call social seats. They move and play sounds during certain parts of the movie to give you a more realistic, interactive experience. Once our theater opened, we found our seats and got settled in. The recliners were very comfortable. Shortly after, a server came in and explained how everything works. You order whatever food and drinks you want, and they recommend having your order in within 30 minutes of the movie starting so they can deliver it to your seat before the movie gets going. If you need refills after the movie starts, you have to go out and get them yourself. My wife ordered the chicken bowl, and I had the Wagyu sliders with fries. We also ordered a large popcorn and a large Coke. You can also order wine, beer, or pretty much whatever you want from the full bar. Our food arrived just as the previews were starting. Everything looked great and was served on real plates, even the soda came in a nice glass, and the popcorn came in a bucket. Most importantly, both meals were really good. Honestly, we were surprised at how good the food was for a movie theater. There were only four people in our theater for the 12:10 showing, which made it even better. No one talking around us, no people constantly getting up and walking in front of us, and no distractions. It was a very relaxing way to watch a movie. One heads-up: going to the theater is expensive enough already, and if you have your food delivered to your seat, there is an 18% service charge added to your bill. It's something to be aware of before ordering. Overall, we had a great experience at CMX Cinemas Tysons Galleria. The comfortable recliners, food and drinks delivered to your seat, and the overall atmosphere made it much more enjoyable than a typical movie theater. We were especially impressed with the food, and we will definitely be back again.
