    In Theater 8   Medium Popcorn
    Haley C.

    This is my 2nd time at this theater and it was a pleasant experience once again! It's hard to not be drawn to the smell of popcorn when walking around the Macarthur Center Mall since the theater is on the 3rd floor of it. Boyfriend and I went on Valentine's Day at 7PM (movie started at 7:30) and it wasn't crowded at all! We went to go see Megan and after getting our concessions we headed inside around 7:10 and the theater was pretty empty! A lot of people showed up right at 7:30 and a few trickling in as the movie started. However still not packed at all and everyone was pretty spaced out. They have $5 movie tickets and 50% of popcorn on Tuesdays for Regal Members so that was a bonus! Everything went great and we really enjoyed the movie!

    I had a fun day with my son and decided to take him to see The Secret Lives of Pets 2 for the Saturday 3:50 showing. I purchased our tickets through the Regal App and so all I had to do was scan my phone and we were in. We actually didn't want any snacks so we proceeded to theater 11, which was far towards the back. There are no bells and whistles with this theater. The seats are basic with a little rock to it. My six year old had a hard time sitting comfortably in his chair because it would keep folding up on him. He sat on my lap the whole time. On the way out, we ordered a soft pretzel to go. I was told to "go down to the other end and you can pick it up there." There was no one there and no light on. I do love how it's in a mall and you can go have dinner afterwards or you can shop beforehand.

    It was my first time here. I'll start with the good points: exceptionally friendly staff at both the ticket counter and concession stand, they offer military discounts, and I like their nacho sauce. Other than that, I won't return because as soon as we entered the movie auditorium a foul odor took over- it smelled like mildew and mold, but strong. The stench is still on my clothes after the movie and I feel like my clothes are contaminated with mold spores. Also, the chairs were not reclining seats and the seats themselves were old and dirty. The bathroom stalls seemed to be clogged. If you rarely go to a movie as in my case, I expect the entire experience to be at least pleasant, I can not recommend anyone spending their money here.

    Had a very good time last night. Enjoyed birds of prey! My only constructive critisim is to have someone sweeping up popcorn in the entrance of the theater rooms. Very nice place and time we had. Staff was lovely. :)

    Prices are beyond expensive for refreshments

    I took my son to see the LEGO movie on a busy weekend and there were only TWO lines open for refreshments. The service was extremely slow and the prices are astronomical!!! I gave in and bought him a pizza, kiddie drink, and I got a snack pack. I paid over $20!!!! I could've gone across the mall to Chili's and bought a meal and dessert for us with that. For this movie, we had assigned seating. That was ok. The theater was dirty, but I'm sure they can make it spotless between shows. Parking can be validated, so make sure you bring your parking ticket inside. I still ended up having to pay 50 cents, but it's better than their normal pricing. I come here because of the location, so I will definitely be back. I'm just shocked at the prices!

    A fun afternoon at the movie with my son today. This is probably my fourth time at this particular theater. I am more of an AMC fan myself, but this one delivers just fine. This cinema is located at the top floor of MacArthur Mall. No doubt aesthetically the general area it is very pleasing to the eye perched up so high with neat views over the balcony. The lobby was clean, so no issues here. The carpeting is well maintained and no stains were obvious to me. Lot of screens, 18 I believe... the place is HUGE! I had a positive interaction with a manager who took care of a small problem with ticketing. They had misunderstood on my advance ticket that it was one adult and one child and charged me for two adults. This ended up being a $4 error and I did not catch it until going in. The male manger who was professionally dressed with a blue blazer apologized and quickly credited the amount back to my card. I could probably remove a star for the mistake, but instead will leave it alone due to the great interaction with Regal management. How can you go to the movie with a kid and not stop off at concessions... sigh! Oh well, at least my son is pretty easy to please and not as expensive as my daughter. The young girl as the counter was friendly and got the order correct. A medium lemonade with light ice and a medium popcorn was $6, I guess that did not sting too much. The popcorn tasted good to both of us. Only complaint in this area is there could have been six employees cover all cash registers with such a big premier as the new Hunger Game movie. The movie theater itself was clean and seats we sat in were comfortable. They have nice stadium seating with nice arm chairs the fold up to cozy next to your lovey. Also large drink holders that are a must. The seats DO NOT recline in this theater which is only a slight draw back. I personally do like the reclining seats. There were no issues with the operation of the film and the movie started on time. Lighting on the floor worked great and this is important because there are a lot of steps. The trash area at the end is a large bucket on wheels. This is my only disappointment with the theater. I think it would be nice to not have the trash cans exposed, just looks unprofessional. I would come back here again, no problem. I most certainly come here a lot to shop, so why not. I still think that AMC as an advantage and just seems like a better overall movie experience, but my opinion only.

    This was actually our first night going to the theater for a popular movie known as wicked part two…read moreand they did a lovely job of making sure we enjoy Every moment. Tickets for this movie theater they do not do advanced tickets and you cannot call in advance to get tickets or go to the place to get tickets. It's the same day ticket sale in for an adult. It's $12 and if you pay cash you get a percentage off. So for us, we managed to get tickets for this movie in particular because it most of the movie theaters for this week. We're completely sold out but definitely wanted to experience the cinema in a classic way in this theater is the place if you want that type of experience. For opening night for a wicked released, they had a YellowBrickRoad carpet for a perfect opportunity for photos they did also have souvenir wine glasses for 20 bucks. The glasses itself is larger than your average wine glass so for all my wine lovers if you want a keep safe I definitely will recommend getting this and they did have a special menu for tonight since it is a big production movie, the layout when you walk into the theater is beautiful. It's definitely something meant to be more of a romantic but classic . You have the lounge chair You have a lamp set up at the table, as well as as your way of ordering your food is through a telephone where it goes straight to the kitchen and they answer automatically and the wait time for the food is not long at all. We got our food shortly after the movie started it which was perfect. The only thing for this movie theater is that any food orders will need to be before the show begins, so I would recommend anybody that does see it a movie at the theater you had to arrive early to be able to put place your order as they prefer to place your order before the movie starts so there won't be an interruptions on people ordering food through throughout the movie. Which is definitely a good way of making sure everyone has all their movie snacks their movie food their movie drinks before the movie start so that you can actually enjoy the movie about having to stop in ordered or be interrupted to order some food so that a plus for them very clever for them to do that. they had different options for tonight due to the opening night of wicked but normally they do have only beer and wine as their main options for alcohol beverage and of course you have your non-alcohol beverage items as well and I got was a specialty drink very light and sweet and on the menu, they have a variety of classic movie foods as well as sandwiches. I got their fish sandwich which was very crispy, but nicely crispy and have that with fries also very good. Definitely a good combination. The atmosphere of the layer of the theater itself is more of like a old school classic theater, where you have the curtains and then the big screen very appealing when you first walk in and the seating is very stressful from each other, so the chairs itself are movable where you can adjust it to your comfort. Overall, it was definitely a fun experience and the movie itself was a 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend this theater if you want more of a classic theater with a beautiful background and layout and of course, a fun way to place your order through a telephone which I find that very unique to do in a fun way.

    The Commodore Theatre is what happens when dinner and a movie stop being lazy date night energy and…read moreevolve into pure cinematic luxury. You don't just watch a movie here ...you arrive. Plush seating, actual tables, and servers bringing food while explosions happen on screen makes you feel like royalty who also enjoys popcorn and bad decisions at the concession stand. The theater itself looks like old-school Hollywood decided to move to Portsmouth and never left. The sound is incredible, the screen is huge, and somehow even the fries feel like they deserve an award nomination. Honestly ruined regular movie theaters for me. Now when I go anywhere else, I'm confused why no one is bringing me dinner while I emotionally recover from plot twists. Five stars. Come hungry, leave happy, and prepare to become dramatically judgmental about every other theater afterward.

    This is by far the best Cinema Cafe location I've been to in Hampton Roads…read more The theaters are clean, the service is quick, and they consistently have a great selection of new movies playing. My husband and I love a dinner-and-a-movie date night, so having everything in one place is perfect for us. The reclining chairs are super comfortable, especially once you've eaten and can just settle back and relax during the movie. The menu is pretty basic, but that's expected for a movie theater, and it still has some solid options. Some of my favorites are the coconut shrimp and the hot honey pizza. Overall, this is my go-to spot for seeing a movie. Always an easy, enjoyable experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

The seats and theaters are clean, everything felt very new. Our waiter (I believe his name is Evan) was so nice, quick, and helpful! We were in row 3, which was a little bit too close to the screen for our taste, however the seats recline so your view is not obstructed. We didn't mind row 3, but next time we will go further back. The food and tickets were decently priced, we were very happy with that. The food quality was a little bit better than regular concession food. Our food was lukewarm, but very large portions. They have all the condiments and utensils right there for you! Very nice place, we will be back!

Our movie started at 3:30pm and since I bought tix online, we were able to walk right in and have our tix scanned.

After about an hour, my daughter went out to grab popcorn and drinks and she mentioned that the lines were much less crowded. The popcorn was very fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankfully, the seats were comfortable because the movie was over 3 hours long; the sound and movie quality in the theater was great as well.

AMC Lynnhaven 18 is the ultimate cinematic adventure if the adventure you're seeking involves sticky floors, confused teenagers running concessions, and chairs that feel like they're judging your life choices. First, the ticket machine. I don't know who programmed it, but I'm convinced it's sentient and hates happiness. It stared at me for a full five seconds before deciding to freeze probably because I chose a matinee. Eventually I got my ticket, which felt like winning a tiny, meaningless battle in the grand war against outdated technology. Now the concessions line... ah yes. A spiritual journey. I had enough time waiting to contemplate my childhood, my future, and what I'd do if I ever escaped this line alive. After 20 minutes, I received a popcorn that tasted like it had been prepared three Marvel phases ago and a soda so flat it needed emotional support. The seat reclined, but only on the left side, which meant I watched the entire movie at a 30-degree gangster lean. Immersive, I guess? The sound system? Incredible. Every five minutes someone's phone would ring with crystal-clear clarity, and there was a symphony of crinkling wrappers that should honestly win a Grammy. On the bright side, the movie technically played. All the way through. Would I go back? ...Probably, because I make bad decisions and AMC Lynnhaven knows it. Two stars for the nostalgia, the chaos, and the fact that somehow, against all odds, the place still exists.

They are trying really hard to make this a five star experience. I applaud them for that. The food was pretty good. Ordered inside at Sage kitchen. They have a movie menu or you can order from their menu to take to you car. It took a really long time for them to have our food ready. My phone never could download their menu so we had difficulty ordering. Seems like they are still working through some issues. I still miss the simple popcorn and a coke but again they are trying super hard to make this work. We got there at 5 an hour before the movie starts to get a parking space and to order food. That to me is a long time. Deducting a star for all that I'm hoping they will figure out how to do a nice big thing of popcorn and a coke and speed up the whole thing. Make sure that when you park you can see the screen. Since the screen is small and angled a bit different than a real drive in you really need to make sure you can see the screen. It is $25 per car. Not cheep and the movies are ones that have been out for a while. They are not new release films.
