Updated review: Still not a fan of the personal bag check, but I'm bumping up my rating thanks to…read moresome clear upgrades since my last review. The electric recliners with built-in trays are seriously comfortable, and the theater is consistently clean and far less chaotic than most Manhattan spots. The screen and sound pack a punch, and the location--tucked into a newly energized corner of Battery Park City--makes it easy to pair your movie with a great meal or drink nearby. That said, finding the place is its own mini-quest. You have to weave through the Conrad Hotel and ride what feels like a pilgrimage of escalators (especially when the elevators are down... which is often). Overall, a solid movie night once you actually get there.

I kind of do miss being a regular in this area and also a sometime regular to this theater. The…read moreBattery Park area was not as accessible right after 9/11 but I am not sure if the average customer does come from very far distances to come here. The seating has always been pretty nice , to me much nicer than most AMC theaters except maybe Dolby. This does seem like a premier seating experience at least sometimes, it does. The theater has always been a good time with friendly staff and nice looking theaters but union square and Times Square regular are closer and more regular options for me. I look forward to actually coming back here soon though, hopefully an early 2026 visit once the calendar does change this time.

When he checked our tickets, he surprised us with an upgrade that truly enhanced our evening. After the movie, we expressed our gratitude and were deeply impressed by his professional and humble demeanor. Travis also took the time to tell us about special events at the Speakeasy and even allowed us to take some photos. His exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will certainly make IPIC our primary theater moving forward.

I went to iPic with my cousin to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, but…read morewe decided to try something new--and unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing experience. The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away. The food didn't help either--the spicy tuna was completely flavorless, not crispy and the drinks were underwhelming. We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking. Overall, this felt like a subpar experience, and I won't be returning. My cousin mentioned the New Jersey location is much better, so maybe it's just this one--but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Roxy Theater is one of my favorite screening rooms in the City. A single-screen theater, it is…read morequite a small and intimate space. It's ideal for the type of films shown there, which are usually indies or foreign films (but anything can pop up). I come here now and again and this time around it was to see the Japanese comedy/horror 'Hot Springs Shark Attack', which was a lot of laughs. To get to the theater you need to walk through a portion of the hotel and head downstairs. It's next to the Django Jazz Club, which is also a great venue. It's a very nice environment, I think. Kind of elegant. If you see a film playing here that interests you, I would definitely encourage you to go. You'll like the vibe, I am sure.

First time at Nitehawk…read more It was a decent experience. We had a private theater for an event. The staff were attentive. Their food menu is pretty extensive. I had the cheese plate which was good, but pricey at $26 for a small plate. I also had caramel popcorn as well as a mocktail. The theater seats and tables are not as comfortable as Alamo and I wish they had arm rests. There's minimal bathrooms upstairs so a line builds up quickly when a movie lets out. Sound quality was good. I would come back but it's not my number one choice for a movie theater

I usually opt for a beer or wine instead of a cocktail. I've tried a couple cocktails, and they were just okay. The burger and the chicken sandwich are great, I recommend them both. I also love that they have themed menu items for new movies. They don't have reclining chairs and the seats are pretty small and close to each other. Overall, this is an awesome small theater experience.

It was built by the French distributor Pathé as a showcase for the film industry and opened its doors at 4 West 58th Street on September 13, 1948. Located across the street from the iconic Plaza Hotel, north, and Bergdorf Goodman, south, it is Manhattan's only remaining single-screen cinema, and largest movie theater with 535 seats. The elegant theater, with its distinctive Arte Moderne style became a première cinema venue for the best films from around the world. Over time many hits such as: Zefirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' 1968 (Italy), 'A Room With a View' 1985 by James Ivory (UK) , et le film 'Belle de Jour' 1967 (France) directed by Luis Buñuel, were introduced to the United States with an introductory theatrical run at our beloved Paris. Currently, the streaming platform, Netflix operates the cinema giving new life to the ultimate landmark of New York's multi-cultural movie theatre attendees. As Netflix's New York flagship theater, the Paris is the home to exclusive theatrical engagements, premières, special events, retrospectives, filmmaker & actors live appearances, while offering a wide range of unique screenings and noteworthy Q&A discussions. The Paris is truly New York's première movie palace for cinema lovers! Merci beaucoup. Enjoy!

(Click on my Substack for more Baumbach thoughts including my brief interaction with the auteur, as awkward as many of his finest scenes). You may have heard about the successful company that helped destroy movie theaters by pivoting to "content" meant to promote purchases of high-end TVs and nice couches. (Related, I went to Best Buy and didn't recognize anything. Is that a thermostat? A stereo? A smart garden hose?) This company was so successful, that after Knives Out was heralded as single-handedly reviving non-Marvel film, its sequel was withheld from the theaters it allegedly saved. (BTW, if you were planning to tell me to watch the amazing 53-part Quibi streaming series about The Golden Age Of Hollywood, don't bother). But after Netflix helped destroy theaters, it did a nice thing. It's one of those ironic moments like the purse-snatcher scene in Jay Kelly. It signed a lease that helped the Paris avoid the fate of the Ziegfeld and a million others, in a world where the AMC theaters that destroyed all the independents have been suffering themselves. So, while it was vile that Netflix thought Roma should be seen on TVs, it was nice of them to show it at the Paris, especially for the unusually vibrant sound. I saw Train Dreams Saturday. I suppose, like the kid in Squid and The Whale, I am a philistine. I wish I could praise its morose existentialism but I'm not quite on board. However, I did appreciate the majesty of the northwestern fires and falling trees in this venue. There was no assigned seating; not sure if this is just temporary, but if they keep that policy I might be obliged to overlook Netflix's evil and upgrade to 5 stars.

IFC consistently has interesting and diverse programming and collaborations for people who love movies and movie-making.

There's a few issues here and a few fantastic things and I think the easiest way is to list them by category. The Bad: -Like others, I agree that the seats unfortunately are not that comfortable here. This is by far the biggest issue here and it should have been addressed years ago and I doubt it will be soon -They still show the same extremely annoying metal band shirt advertisement with flashing lights that is annoying every single time I go here -The staff here aren't the nicest but it's a movie theater so I can deal with it The Good: -If you're looking for independent films and foreign films, this is one of if not the best theater to go to -The occasional Q&A I'm able to go to such as most recently for Eephus; which was an excellent existential baseball movie; and the Ukrainian documentary Porcelain War last year are always entertaining and interesting and they don't cost more so I would recommend them -If you're looking to see some form films to fill out your Letterboxd Oscar list or perhaps the shorts or something, they show virtually all of them here -They have some fun midnight screenings and other things such as the obligatory The Room and Rocky Horror Picture Show of course There's a few other theaters that I like going to more but there's occasionally films that you really can't find anywhere else. Combine that with the fact that this place is so convenient that I deal with any of the issues here. If they fix the seats, you can preemptively switch this to five stars but for now, it's a four.

It gives you the feeling as if you are lying down in bed watching a movie. Most of the screenings are usually not filled up so you have your pick of seating even at the last minute. There are several floors available for you to explore. You are located right in the upper west side which gives you great access to restaurants and stores all in walking distance. I was able to pick up food nearby before and after the movie. There even is a bookstore down the street if you have some extra time to spend. I love this AMC and would gladly come back here again for the next movie.

Everything else has either been a rare chance to see a classic on screen or a wonderful surprise. There are also great talks and events. I have never done the commissary but one day I will.

This review is for Regal Union Square and honestly... it's one of my favorite Regals, period…read more I love me a Regal in general, but this location? It just hits different. And let's start with the main reason -- 4DX. If you have never seen a movie in 4DX, please go. I'm not even asking, I'm telling you. It's an experience. The seats move, the effects, the whole vibe -- it really pulls you into the movie. I've seen a few films in 4DX here, and every single time it's been a good time. What I also love about this location is that it doesn't feel as overwhelming as some of the bigger theaters, like Times Square. You go to Regal Times Square and it's just... a lot. Crowds on crowds on crowds. And me? I'm an antisocial social butterfly. Sometimes I just want to go to the movies, sit in peace, enjoy my snacks, and be in my own little world. This location lets me do that. The theaters are usually clean, which y'all already know is a big deal for me, and overall, I've consistently had a good experience here. Now let's talk about that upstairs bar -- because yes, they have one. You can grab a drink and really set the vibe for your movie night. Just a heads up though: bring your physical ID. Don't try to show them your ID on your phone -- they're not accepting that. It's their rule, so just come prepared. I will say, the bartender situation can be a little hit or miss. There's one in particular who can come off a little... spicy. Slight attitude, a little slick with it. But if you match energy, you'll be alright -- he adjusts real quick. Still, customer service is customer service, and consistency matters. Another thing I love is that they bring movies back. Like, they really cater to movie lovers. I've seen them do Marvel marathons, bring back the Harry Potter film series films, and even special showings like Demon Slayer: Mugen Train -- which I actually went to see with my son in 4DX, and it was AMAZING. And if you're like me and you love the collectible cups and popcorn buckets? This is the spot. Because somehow, they always have them. Meanwhile, Times Square be sold OUT every time. All in all, I love this Regal. It's my go-to when I want a good movie experience without the chaos. Good movies, good vibes, cleaner, calmer, and when it hits, it really hits. If you know, you know.

The facility is quite large and you have to take a few escalators to get to the main area. It looks pretty cool inside though with the neon lights against the dark background -- reminded me of Space Mountain at Disneyland! The concessions are standard with all your favorite movie snacks and fountain drinks. There's also a full alcohol bar by the escalators with some seating for 21+ folx to relax and hang out. I took another escalator up to go into my theater and was taken aback by how massive the room was! The plush leather seats were a bright red hue. There was plenty of leg room between aisles and roomy arm rests with flat surfaces for convenience. The recline on the seats was sufficient and I was ready to enjoy the movie. Oh and the sound quality was spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed my movie night at Regal. The reception and concession staff were all very friendly, and the theater was clean and maintained very well. If I ever want another movie night at the theater, I will definitely look to Regal!
