Brought my munchkins here for Sunday funday to see the new Paw Patrol movie. It was our first time ever in a LOOK theatre since we usually go to AMC. What sets this theater apart is the option to order food, popcorn, alcohol, soda etc directly from your seat by QR code and have it delivered without ever getting up and missing out on the movie. If you are anything like me and always run late, the last thing you want to do is wait in long concession lines. Between the 3 of us I spent $65 on food and drinks. 2 x $10 kid quesadillas 1 x $19 taco bowl 1 x $3 apple juice 1 x $7.50 soda The convenience is there but the quality was not. It was equivalent to taco bell at triple the pricing. Theatre chairs were also dirty and old. Do what you will with that information.

Pros: Great location, clean theater & friendly staff.Food came on time to my seat which is a very nice comfy recliner. Cons: Their screens are divided into 2 separate buildings A and B across each other which can be a little confusing for a 1st timer there.They only have 1 men & 1 women restroom inside building A with the dine in restaurant & screen 1-2 and the men's restroom is very small and not very clean. UFC 330 was playing in PX screen which supposed to be a premium with better picture & sound quality than standard screens but I didn't notice any difference between that PX screen and their standard ones. Ordered Buffalo chicken sandwich with crinkle fries which was decent but not worth $24.12 total including taxes & service fee.

Ok not sure if I want to recommend this place why? Well i do like that you can order food while you're seated and i used to love their drinks before the show but be prepared go get food late now and meh taste. The coffee sucks. Not sure why i always say let me get it and every time it's blah . I'm actually dad that they've gone downhill. This theatre tends to be more expensive than the others and yet the seats are so worn down like come on. I do like that it's on a smaller scale tho so we tend to go often but the last time we came the seats looked worse. Then the bathrooms having no hand wipes/paper towels like what is happening. This happened the last 2 times. so might stop coming here for a while.

HOKUM night

Not any better than the old Monrovia LOOK. Same company, same problems. Sometimes the wrong food served, other times cold food served, weird gloopy hard cheese, etc. Most auditorium seats are in disrepair, seat numbers missing, crumbs everywhere, literal duct tape on some of the seats to hold them together. 50/50 whether your seat will recline or not. Some auditoriums are actually HOT - maybe they can't turn on the air conditioning? Screens are also sort of dim and dull, just like I expect from LOOK. I'm not sad that the Monrovia location closed down and this is the only LOOK I can come to. I'm sad that I have this annual subscription at all. I am trying to get my money's worth.

Came here for the first time on a weekday date night and had a really solid experience. The theater itself is clean, comfortable, and well set up the seating makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy the movie without feeling cramped. Service stood out. There was a small mix up with our order, but the staff handled it quickly and professionally fixed without any hassle, which says a lot. Food was excellent, especially for a dine-in theater. Everything came out fresh and well-timed with the movie, which made the whole experience feel seamless. Overall, a great spot for a casual date night comfortable, good service, and quality food. well done ..

Loaded fries. Generous portion!

OK, it's true that the seats are worn, other than that, my experience was fine. I really like the seats, they are big and soft, and you can recline. It's also nice that you can order food and drinks (even alcohol) right at the kiosk, at the same time you buy your movie ticket. I had the loaded fries and they were good! Be sure to get your parking ticket validated and you will only pay $1. All staff were nice and helpful. I look forward to going here for all my movie viewing in the future.

They need to up their cleaning crew across the board

I LOVE this place because every year in December they offer their unlimited movie pass for $99. The fiancé and I love getting it because it's good at all 3 locations near us (Monrovia, Glendale, Downey). There are plenty of theaters and they have a good selection of movies, plus they have mystery movies which might get you to see something you wouldn't have initially picked. You can also order food/drinks and they have a few combo deals that are reasonably priced. That said, not all theaters and seats are made equal. Most of their recliners are super beat up and hardly have any of the leather still on them. It's all been chipped off. But they recline and in the dark I try and forget what the place looks like with the lights on lol. But seriously, all 3 locations need some serious chair upgrades and/or restoration. Bathrooms are also a hit or miss. They tend to be pretty gnarly so I try and avoid them.

This theater is conveniently located in Burbank off of Brand Avenue. 90 minutes of free parking across the street. Our theater was located downstairs which was dark. It had recliner seats which was nice. The have a full menu of drinks, cocktails, shakes, popcorn but entrees which includes a smashburger and fries! It was nice to order on the phone and have it delivered to your seat except when customers are seated to the right of you! Twice servers walked in front of me to deliver drinks then food. Interrupted the movie twice! :( The bathroom was a mess! Dirty and stinky! The whole theater is dark so you cannot see how dirty it is!

The seats were way too close together, and the person next to us had belongings spread into the shared space, making it very difficult to get in and out of our seats comfortably. Because of how uncomfortable the situation was, we decided to leave during the previews before the movie even started. We politely explained the issue to the manager and asked if we could either move to different seats -- even less expensive ones -- or receive some type of accommodation such as passes for another movie. Unfortunately, the manager refused to help in any way and would not issue a refund, exchange, or even offer courtesy tickets. For a theater that markets itself as a luxury experience and charges premium prices, I expected much better customer service. Other theaters like AMC are usually much more understanding and willing to work with customers when issues arise. Instead, we left feeling frustrated after paying for a movie we never got to watch. Sadly, this experience completely turned us off from coming back.

The movie theater itself was very clean, organized, and well maintained, so I have no complaints about the facility. Unfortunately, our experience at the concession stand was concerning. We paid with cash, and the young woman assisting us reached her fingers inside a new cup when handing it to me. I politely asked if she could please give me another cup without putting her fingers inside it. She seemed genuinely surprised and offended that I asked. The same thing happened with the popcorn. She used her bare hands and fingers to grab the popcorn bucket and pour the popcorn, with her fingers and knuckles coming into contact with the inside of the bucket and the food. I have seen other employees at the theater use gloves and follow proper food handling practices, which is why this interaction was especially surprising. I understand that young employees are learning, and I am not trying to attack or embarrass anyone personally. However, I do think management should reiterate proper food-handling and sanitation procedures, especially when employees are working the concession stand independently. I simply hope this can be used as a training opportunity. The theater itself was clean and nice, but food safety should be taken just as seriously.

We were visiting Los Angeles, so that my wife could surprise our daughter at a party that our…read moredaughter's close friends were throwing for her. While my two fave ladies were spending time together, my son and I spent quality time together watching the movie The Odyssey at Regal La Canada. The Odyssey was a very entertaining movie that I highly recommend and watching this summer blockbuster at Regal La Canada made for good first time experience there. It's more of an old school movie theater with quality customer service and tasty food. When we entered the small strip mall with the movie theater was the main focal point, I was a little confused because the signage on the building was United Artists (UA) theater not Regal theaters. If you've lived in California awhile, then you should be familiar with the UA brand movie theaters, which is why I had a sense of nostalgia seeing the UA moniker. UA was purchased by Regal, so this movie theater is part of the Regal movie theater chain specifically located in La Cañada Flintridge. There are a few other shops located in this strip mall, but the one I remember is North Shore Burgers. There is plenty of parking at this location and the traffic flow is one way as you enter the strip mall. We watched The Odyssey during matinee hours, so it wasn't that crowded, but I got the feel that this wasn't a busy movie theater. The staff here provided quality customer service and were friendly. I had ordered tickets the day before, but mistakenly purchased tickets for the wrong day. I left a message to request a refund and when I tried to call a second time, a manager answered while I was leaving a message and she promptly refunded my money providing quality service like her staff. Regal UA La Canada gives off an old school vibe. The movie theater definitely needs some modernizing with regards to their leather recliner chairs and the layout of their seats, but I actually liked the old school vibe. When your order popcorn, the staff asks if you want butter and they're the ones placing butter into your popcorn. I prefer self service, but they did a good job buttering my popcorn. The popcorn was fresh when I initially ordered and when I requested a refill. My son ordered a pepperoni pizza and that too came out well made with the cheese melted and the crust crunchy. Their leather seats aren't the electronic recliners, but rather they're the pull out lever old school recliners. They worked fine and the leather seating was comfortable. Even the restrooms were old school, but they were clean. There were also some arcade games for the kids to occupy themselves while waiting or after watching a movie. While my two fave ladies spent quality time together, my son and I got to hang out and watched a Must See movie The Odyssey. We had a fun first time experience at Regal UA La Canada.

The theatre is small with large, comfy leather recliners to sit in. The recliners had a cup holder and were spaced far enough from the seats in front to give you plenty of room to walk by without interrupting the other patrons. The theatre and restrooms were clean and maintained. The concession stand serve standard moving theatre snacks & beverages - no gourmet food or cocktails. The seats were very relaxing and we enjoyed the movie. *Ample parking in the lot.

The atmosphere during the movie was also a mess, the crowd was talking most of the time and constantly walking in and out, which kept letting outside light into the room. The Verdict: While the $7 price tag is incredibly cheap, the janky setup, dirty seating, and constant distractions mean this won't be a regular spot for me. I would honestly rather spend a little extra money to go somewhere else where I can actually enjoy the movie.

Since we liked it so much, we've definitely continued the tradition of going, and while I enjoy a lot of what the Electric Dusk Drive-In has to offer, there are a few details that do not keep me coming back every time. Pros: - Walking distance to plenty of food. Just park in your spot, hop out, and you have a lot of Glendale's finest down Brand Blvd! You really don't need to settle for typical movie food. - I'm sure this might not apply to everyone, I LOVE it's in the middle of the city. It's bustling, nice view, city lights--perfect for watching movie. - Good movie selection. While I also wish that they showed newer movies from time-to-time, the catalogue they prepare is a lot of great choices. - Snacks and bathrooms available. - Portable radios (so you don't kill your car battery) and headlight covers. Cons: - The biggest one by far is the price. Up until a year or so ago, you paid about $30 with fees to have your car in the lot, and each additional person was at most $8--still expensive, but certainly not completely out of the question. Now, you're looking at at least $23 PER PERSON, which makes this a 'once in a while' event rather than something fun to do every other weekend. It's a shame, and I know that prices are raising everywhere, but it's not feasible to spend $50 to see a movie in a parking lot, and $100 for a family of four? That's horribly unrealistic. I've noticed they're upped their prices on a lot of their packages, with the VIP up-close a whopping $75 a vehicle. And while I love this place, and think the people work hard running it, it's not worth that much just to be up front. - Rude staff. I certainly haven't really experienced it much in the last few years, but there are a couple of the people parking that can really get on your case for seemingly no reason. Like I said, I think those people have cycled out, but it's something to keep an eye out on. I absolutely recommend going! But be prepared for an expensive night out.

Tickets are bought online and range in price. Astro turf seating is $13 per person or $20 for two. No car parking is included (so you have to park outside the event) and you have to bring your own chair or rent one from them. Early Bird Car Entry + Driver is $28 ($20 for the car fee, $8 for the driver). Additional passengers are $8 per person. VIP is $75 and covers 1 car and 4 people for front row seating (just behind the astro turf area). Doors open either an hour or an hour & a half before showtime. When we scoped out the place, there was a sign that said exactly when the doors were going to be opened in the driveway. Since we had time (we were a wee bit too early), we went around the corner to get some grub. When we came back, we were second in line roughly a half hour before opening. Not too shabby and I definitely recommend showing up early to get a good spot (unless you're a VIP fancy pants). The line formed shortly after and wrapped around to Central. Pro tip - don't be a jerkasaurus and try to cut in line! The employees do notice anyone trying to pull a fast one and will make you go to the back of the line. Electric Dusk Drive-In is located off of Central Ave and California Ave in the old Sears parking lot. You cannot turn left into the parking lot on California! You have to enter from Central so that you turn right into the lot and don't block traffic. It was entertaining seeing so many people not grasp this simple idea. Once inside, the employees will scan your tickets and direct you where to park. If you want to back up and watch from your trunk, tell them and they'll help you out. If you're worried about your car battery dying out - bring your own radio or you can rent a transistor radio from them. If you listen via your car radio and it dies, they'll help jumpstart your car after the show. For restrooms, they provide two porta potties in the back side along with a hand washing station. If you're feeling munchy, they have a concession stand near the entrance but I'd encourage just getting your food beforehand from any eatery around the area (The Great White Hut is directly across the street). If you're thinking about trying Electric Dusk Drive-In, stop thinking and just do it already! They have a wide variety of movies to choose from (some are double-features) so you're covered no matter your taste of genre. It's such a fun nostalgic night and I can't wait to go back!
