Seats reclined. Theatre was overall clean and spacious, and a huge step up from your typical movie theatre. Cons (which are minor) involve: Some of the seats needed to be re-postered, as the leather was clearly worn, and some of the plastic around the cub holders were significantly peeling away. Normally I wouldn't say anything but for a a theatre with a premium feel I feel like I had to mention. In addition, we went in the winter and theatre was very warm. A coat-check also would have been nice considering the premium vibe of the theatre. Still, I'm nit-picking. It's a fun time for date. Would recommend.

Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas West Hartford Location: Blue Back…read moreSquare (above Barnes & Noble), West Hartford, CT If you're looking to elevate your "dinner and a movie" routine into a single, seamless experience, Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas in West Hartford is the gold standard in the area. Located in the heart of Blue Back Square, this six-screen boutique theater trades the traditional crowded lobby for a sophisticated, lounge-style atmosphere. The Seating & Atmosphere The highlight of the Cinépolis experience is the fully reclining leather seats. These aren't just standard loungers; they are oversized, plush, and offer plenty of personal space. With only 359 seats across six auditoriums, the environment feels intimate rather than cavernous. Each seat is equipped with a service button, allowing you to summon a "ninja-like" waiter who handles your orders discretely so as not to interrupt the film. The bill is discretely provided at the end of the showing. The chairs have seen better days in some instances with worn leather services, but they are still plush and comfortable just do for an update. Cinépolis moves far beyond just popcorn and soda. Their full-service menu features chef-driven items that you'd expect at a trendy gastropub rather than a cinema: Truffle fries, lobster rolls, artisan pizzas, and "Nacho Supreme." * The Bar: A sophisticated selection of craft beers, a curated wine list, and a specialty cocktail menu featuring hand-crafted drinks like their signature margaritas and seasonal mules. * Weekend Brunch: On Saturdays and Sundays, the theater offers a specific brunch vibe with $6 Bloody Marys and Mimosas available until 3:00 PM--perfect for a late morning matinee. The "waiter service at your seat" is the defining luxury here. You can order everything from your phone via the Cinépolis app before you arrive, or simply press the button at your seat for a refill or a second round of appetizers. They offer .. * Discount Tuesdays: If you want the luxury experience on a budget, tickets are significantly discounted on Tuesdays, and Happy Hour deals often run late. Give yourself time and arrive about 20-30 minutes early. This gives you time to settle into your recliner and look over the menu before the lights go down. Use the municipal garages in Blue Back Square; the theater is a short walk from the Isham or Memorial garages or of your lucky enough find a paid spot on the main road. Directly next to Gabriel's steakhouse you can really have a very nice dinner and show experience .

Definitely recommend you check it out.

However, both of…read morethese times the theater was mostly empty with 6 or 8 guests so it was pretty easy to get good service. Tonight the theater was almost full, and the service was terrible. The staff had no idea what was going on or how to serve a large crowd. It was complete chaos in the theater, and no one had any idea what order the guests had arrived in. After sitting for 30 minutes with no acknowledge from the staff while we witnessed 15 others who arrived after us being given menus, then drinks, and some already receiving their dinner orders, we decided to leave. The manager was contacted to refund our ticket price. He agreed but seemed unconcerned about what was going on upstairs in the theater. Cannot recommend Gilson's unless you can find a time when no one else is visiting.

The movie we saw was pretty entertaining, too. We were in a small theater seating maybe 40 people including several for handicapped visitors. The seats recline easily and we liked that. There is a large attached swing arm that holds drinks and food. The concessions aren't cheap (were they ever?): Popcorn prices are between $9-13 depending on size, drinks $7 and $8. Free refills come with the largest sizes. Matinee tickets are $11. You can buy tickets online or at the theater. The men's restroom was spotless, the women's room a little less so, but not dirty. Overall a good experience.

Cinestudio is an independent film theater that opened on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford,…read moreConnecticut in February 1970. It was founded by a group of Trinity College students that included Peter Stott, Ted Kroll, Peter McMorris, Charles Rumsey, James Hanley, Anne Risdon, Larry Stires and Randy Man. The group of film-obsessed students made a home for themselves in a little-used lecture hall inside the Clement Chemistry Building. The room, unfortunately, possessed troubled acoustics. Within two years, and with the help of Ralph Mauro from National Theater Supply and Lonny Jennings at Dolby, the sound issues were rectified and the room was transformed into a recreation of a 1930s film house. The grand opening (a double feature of "Alice's Restaurant" and The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine") was sold out. Cinestudio screens a variety of second-run, independent, foreign, and classic films. The single-screen venue has a seating capacity of approximately 485, 4K Digital Cinema systems, as well as 35mm and 70mm film projectors for use in studio archive presentations. Cinestudio features a spectacular gold Austrian screen curtain that rises at every show, real balcony seating, and the gold lion courant insignia. I recently visited Cinestudio for the first time. I read about it and an online article and couldn't believe that I had never heard of it before. I parked in a small parking lot on Summit Street and followed the sign which led me through a stone archway. As I walked along the Main Quad, I saw the neon color-changing lights of Cinestudio. Entering Cinestudio is a blast from the past. I purchased my ticket at the Fred Pfeil Memorial Ticket Booth (only $10 a show) and then headed to the concessions area where I purchased a giant bucket of popcorn for only $5. A volunteer told me, "The balcony is nice, but if this is your first time here then I recommend the lower level. You can hear the sound system much better." The interior of the theater was absolutely gorgeous with red accents. The film that I was seeing during my visit was the 1978 remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": part of the theater's ongoing series "Our National Nightmare: 2026 Anxieties in 1970s American Film". Many screenings at Cinestudio are introduced by a guest speaker; this one featured Roger Benham. Although I have seen this film a number of times before, this was my first time seeing it on the silver screen....and it was so much more frightening now. This was my first visit to Cinestudio, but it certainly won't be my last!

It has about 150 or so seats on the floor and a three tiered wrap around balcony. For the last twelve years, Centennial has been the home of the Simsbury Summer Theater's annual show. By my count, I've seen at least ten shows here, starting with Cinderella in 2005. Tonight, we saw a wonderful version of the Music Man. When I was a kid, the Music Man movie was on TV a lot, and I thought the fast-talking swindling con man played by Robert Preston was very cool. Tonight's version, performed by scores of young talented singing and dancing actors was stellar. How fortunate for all of us that the Westminster School so generously offers their beautiful venue to benefit youth theater.
