    I only came here to watch Scream 7. Haven't been to a movie theater in idk how long. The $15 ticket purchase reminded me why. Sheesh. I saw ghost pepper popcorn displayed on the menu in honor of Scream 7. Went up to order some, and the girl said we don't carry that. Huh? Why is it on your menu then? She had no clue. She said pretzel bites are up there too, and we don't carry them. Again, huh? The seats in the theater were reclining, which was nice, but they weren't very roomy. I enjoyed the movie, but the overall experience was subpar.

    We were on a vacation at Carlsbad. My family and I decided to go to Regal Cinema to watch The Housemaid movie. I was so excited to watch it since I read the book. It is located at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. There were ample parking spots. We used Regal app to purchase the tickets. It was very convenient. The theater was very clean and spacious. The line for concessions was very long, but we were okay. The staff were very nice and friendly. Recliners were very comfortable with swivel tables. The sound was excellent as well as the quality of the picture. We had a great experience and really enjoyed our time there.

    I LOVE COMING TO THE THEATER!! There's always something for somebody, the staff are polite, bathrooms are clean, there's only two things that have changed. I always like coming to Regal for the movies. Every time I come to this theatre, the line for Concessions is always long with only 2 lines opened. If you know your having 3 movies starting at the same time slot, it should be all hands on deck. I love buying concessions anywhere else except for Regal. It's too time consuming. Something new also caught my eye yesterday, the staff checking tickets was doing bag checks. He was scanning tickets and then politely asking guests to open their bags. So if your wearing a bag, prioritize your time. They will do a quick bag check.

    since there's no AMC in north county and the closest one requires you to drive 40 minutes, we purchased the Regal unlimited because we like to watch 2+ movies a month so for us it's definitely worth it. we frequent this Regal quite a lot, mainly because there's no other option. I will say the workers here are always nice, even though every time we see new people working the concession stands, the customer service is always up to standard. in comparison to other theaters, they only have the basic snacks and drinks - no fancy soda machines, alcoholic stands or gourmet meals. the recliners are pretty nice and comfy, although pretty loud; it gets a bit chilly inside but as long as you have a long sleeve on, you will be fine. not location specific, but I have to mention the app/ website is really slow and counterintuitive. it was challenging to buy our passes and put in all the personal info - they need a major software upgrade. also, the previews were 80% random ads, and only a couple of actual movie previews. I would suggest to arrive 30 min after the start time of the movie, to avoid weird ads.

    I enjoy this movie theater, they do good keeping the place clean and their snack counter has fast lines $20 tickets tho! Which is a bit insane but the recliner seats are really nice and some of the theaters don't have the recliner you have to book them specifically I will come back, everyone is nice and it's innaa good neighborhood

    Intermission during a film! 3 hours and 35 minutes of film.  Eeeek!

    Overall this is a well maintained theater. The seats are comfortable and they recline. There is dim lighting on the stairs. I enjoyed the previews while waiting for the movie to start. The sound quality is excellent. Customer Service was friendly. I tried a large popcorn with extra butter and it was really good. I also had a hotdog dog and that was not so good. The hotdog was very rubbery. I do not recommend it! Of course everything was overpriced in the concession stand. Four stars for the theater overall and three stars for concessions.

    3.5 stars Wanted to watch a movie with my brother and he said this is his go-to cause of the reclining seats. The staff seemed friendly and the seats were comfortable but I would be lying if I said that the sound of someone else moving their seats wasn't annoying during the movie. Not sure if it's cause we caught one of the last showings but the restrooms were pretty trashed.

    Bottom right corner says combo special.

    Decent theater connected to the mall. If there's going to be theater seating it should be well kept or upgraded though.

    I live near cineopolis and they let young kids talk and make noise. While this theatre keeps the noise down by monitoring it.

    Ask the Community - Regal Carlsbad

    Do all rooms have recliner seating?

    Yes. At the Carlsbad regal, they do have all recliner seating. That is why they charge slightly more than the basic regal theaters.

    Do they have a bar?

    No bar but yes they sell drinks at the concession stands. Sadly only a 3 drink limit. No hard liquor.

    Are all the auditoriums recliner seating?

    Yes

    Do the arm rest on the seats go up?

    No, the chair is the only one that adjusts.

    Can you buy tickets at the box office (or is it only online)?

    Online is best, as the seating for popular movies fill up fast. It's all assigned seating, so better to reserve early. However, there's a box office with usually 1-2 people working, as well as self-serve kiosks.

    Do they deliver the food to your seat? Are you able to order from your seat?

    No & no

    Do they allow bringing food from Panera, Luna grill or the pizza press?

    No, no outside food allowed.

    This is probably one of my favorite theaters to go to in North County. There are tons of parking…read morearound so you don't have to worry about that. This theater is truly luxury where you can order your food and drink right at your seat and they do have actual meals (such as burgers, etc.). They also do have alcohol and cocktails. The seating here is unique where it's two sweaters (great for couples). than the typical long row seating. The chairs are comfy and feels quite intimate to be honest. I would say the only downside is that you know the movie is ending when the servers come to drop off your check so it can be a bit distracting from that. But overall, it's a great movie theater where you can eat and watch with your loved ones!

    I've been coming to Cinepolis La Costa since they first opened and have always loved this theater…read more I hadn't been in a while, though, so I was excited to go back last night with a group of friends. The location is great, with a large parking lot that's easy to get in and out of. I still love the lobby and overall atmosphere. It feels a lot more upscale than your average movie theater, and everything seemed clean and well maintained. The biggest disappointment was the service. We ordered a popcorn refill and additional drinks during the movie and ended up waiting about 30 to 40 minutes for them to arrive. I also never received a receipt at the end and had to stop by customer service afterward. I also have to mention how much I miss the Greek bowl they used to serve. It had gyro meat and was hands down my favorite thing on the menu. I would love to see it make a comeback. I'll definitely be back because I still enjoy the theater overall, but I do feel like the experience isn't quite as good as it used to be.

    Hiya, B.U.M.S., I've…read morealways been a moviegoer at heart. I definitely miss the $1 movie days--though saying that out loud probably ages me a bit. These days, with new releases available directly on our living room screens, it takes a truly special experience to convince us to head out to the theater. But some movies just demand the full big-screen treatment. My son convinced us that the new Spider-Man was one of those "must-see in theaters" films, and he was completely right. Not only was the movie incredible, but Cinépolis in Vista turned out to be a fantastic spot for a family outing. Right as you walk in, you're greeted by a bright, welcoming arcade loaded with games that appeal to kids of all ages. Past the arcade is the food lobby--clean, simple, and very easy to navigate. We grabbed our essential movie theater popcorn along with an ICEE (my son's personal favorite tradition). The auditorium itself was free of any sticky floors, and featured super comfortable reclining leather seats that made the entire viewing experience enjoyable. Some Family Fun Tips: Arrive Early for Arcade Fun: Give yourself an extra 15-20 minutes before showtime so the kids can run around and play in the arcade without rushing to your seats. Look Out for Special Discount Days: Keep an eye out for weekday family promotions (like discounted tickets or snack deals) to enjoy a high-end luxury theater experience on a budget. Do you still enjoy movie theaters? Let us know in the comments below.
