It's ok. Hadn't been here in years. It was clean. There are no longer people to buy tickets from at the front anymore. There are kiosks there now but if you want to buy from a person / pay cash ... you can pay at concessions. Tuesdays are cheaper for tickets with I think half priced popcorn too. Seats aren't super comfortable. Ads before movie start are longer than ever; Expect the movie to start about 25 minutes after time listed. Not a bad experience but I prefer the comfort and price of watching at home myself.

Haven't been to a movie theater in quite a long time. I don't see the sense in paying for movies that will be on TV or on demand shortly after release, especially since super sized big screen TV technology can give a theater type experience right in my own living room. Freshly popped movie theater style microwave popcorn is far better than at the theater at price gouging costs. Same is true about drinks and candy. You would think that theater corporations would open their eyes and adjust their prices to better compete with streaming services and supermarket snack food prices. As you can see from the photo, at the start of the new release I was there for, the theater was just about empty. The two stars I'm giving are for the fact that the theater and restroom were very clean. But how dirty can it get when there are so few patrons.

First time in a movie theater since Covid hit! We naturally had to check out Quiet Place Part 2 because of the Buffalo connection even if it's not the type of movie I'd normally go to. Thought this review isn't on the movie but the theater. We attended on a Thursday afternoon so obviously didn't expect to see much of a crowd. No one was working at the ticket booth and there was a sign instructing you to purchase your tickets at the concession stand. There were 2 people together in front of us so expected it to go quickly. Well, not sure exactly what was going on but no exaggeration, we waited atleast 15 minutes to get up to the counter. Maybe one of the other workers could have come over to help. Good thing we were early! On the good side, the guys working the counter was very friendly. You would expect Regal to have nice seats. Wrong again. I know some of the smaller chains (like Dipson Amherst Theatre) have the newer comfortable recliners with giant arm rest and cup holders. Here it was the older worn out sunk in seats. Felt like you were sitting in a hole. Overall great to be back at the movies but not sure I'd got to this Regal again. 2021-81

It's not going to be easy to review an IMAX theater and not be affected by the movie that was playing which was super entertaining and loaded with wow factors. I quickly forgot about the unpleasant smelling air we met approached the room. It was a mix of locker room and old, dusty furniture. We had the armrests up to be closer to each other, which also saved us from the sticky dirty plastic which I was lucky enough not to discover myself. Generally, this is not the cleanest place, but everything else was just outstanding. The sound and picture were mind blowing. Personally, I don't need to lay down to be comfortable while watching movies at the theater, so recliners are not necessary for me. I had no discomfort sitting for 3 hours -- yes the commercials took at least 20 minutes. I bought my tickets using Fandango. We went through the ticket taker spot fast and smooth receiving 3D glasses at the same time. The people who work there are like robots without being programmed to smile or say anything, not even the two magic words. Maybe at some point in the future, a real machine will take care of us scanning the barcode from my device. At the same time, they should hire a bigger cleaning crew or just reorganize the current workers who can focus just on cleaning. At this point I'm a big fan of IMAX and will lower my expectations when it comes to factors other than the quality of the movie.

Went to go see the newest jurassic park movie last night purchased imax theater tickets for the screening. Very pricey for the tickets purchased 4 imax tickets for the 7pm showing and it came to over $80.00 It was completely sold out !! And they dont use the newest recliner seats like most theaters do. They use those old swivel seats that are small and uncomfortable!!! Especially for myself being 6ft4 300 pounds. Prices for snacks are to be expected so be prepared I dont think i would do the imax experience again the sound was much wayyyyy!!!! To loud and i didn't notice much of a viewing experience.

The seats and popcorn were both terrible.

The seats and popcorn were both terrible. The popcorn was practically inedible, and I never thought anyone could mess up popcorn, but somehow they managed to do it! The seats were extremely uncomfortable and outdated, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

This theater is huge! Every time we see a movie here I am blown away with how large the theaters are. They don't have the reclining seats in the theaters I've been in but honestly once the movie starts you forget about all those upgrades from the other theaters. I have seen a movie on IMAX also and that was incredible! This is a great theater to see a movie in!

The only IMAX show in buffalo, it's a great way to see a movie.Being a regal member you get extra benefits, like upgrades & free refills on large pop & popcorn & even a free popcorn for your birthday month, invites to free movie screenings,so its well worth it to join.They have all the latest movies to choose from, so just come in pick your seats & enjoy in 18 shows.

Support you local movie theaters. Before they all go extinct. Transit is really only good for the IMAX. Transit has been due for an upgrade.

Have they refurbished the Transit Rd Lancaster NY facility in last several years?

I went to see the new Batman there a couple months ago, and no, I wasn't impressed considering the cost of the tickets.

Let's start with what this theater gets right. The staff I interact with here tend to be a little…read moremore friendly than the other 3 Regals in the area. I Love, with a capital L, the little tables on the recliners. I wish all of the local theaters would adopt them. It seems silly, but they are one of the main reasons this is my most frequented theaters... don't judge me. Lol. Where are they middle of the road? Cleanliness can be hit or miss. Some stuff is a little outdated, but I do believe they are working on that, there were new chairs going in recently. The food menu is hit or miss. I feel like out of all of the Regals that are in the area, they seem to not have what I am looking for most often, some of that is because I am here the most, but some of that seems to be an ordering issue or maybe Regal forces certain menu layouts even if a theater doesn't have those offerings... I am looking at you elusive Tandoori Popcorn. Last, but not least, is something I'll mention, but won't dock them any stars for, the location. I never personally feel uncomfortable here, solo or with company. I have had 2 partners that have said they would come with me, but not alone. I have also witnessed a couple of fights here. In this theaters defense, they can't help where they are located or who is around. In addition, they do a good job keeping security officers here, and I do believe they take customer safety seriously. Security seems to be responsive and I have seen them do everything from deescalate someone in the lobby, to deal with chatty/loud movie goers. Usually they are just a quiet presence and everything is smooth. There are less and less theaters in the area as time passes, I recommend supporting any theaters you can.

The theater was not crowded, so I did not hear anyone talking during the movie. I have been to this…read moretheater before, but I do not think I ever watched a movie in the number 1 theater. It has a somewhat strange, in my opinion, configuration with the stairs sort of winding around to get to the upper seats. Luckily we arrived before the (endless) coming attractions and commercials when the lights were still on. There was an entire 1/2 hour of commercials and coming attractions before the feature movie started. The theater loses a star for that 1/2 hour of commercials and terrible movie clips.

Although this isn't the Regal I visit most often, in the area, it's probably the nicest one…read moreoverall. The theater is consistently clean and well maintained. The overall vibe feels comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful, even if things tend to move at a slightly more relaxed pace than at some of the other locations. Out of all the Regal theaters in the area, this is the one where I've had the best luck with food. If I ask for a specific item, they usually have it available, which hasn't always been the case elsewhere. They also do a great job with their movie selection, showing a wide range of flicks from the blockbusters to foreign movies, and the occasional smaller release. I do wish they had the small tables like the Elmwood Regal and that the location was a bit closer to me, but that's really just nitpicking. Overall, I've had consistently positive experiences here. It's a theater I'm always happy to visit.

Easy parking 3…read morestars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have. This is a theater I've been to a few times. I was here today to see a movie that's not playing elsewhere in the area. There are a lot of screens here, it's pretty busy. The line for popcorn is long enough that it dissuaded me from actually getting any popcorn. the seats are comfortable and check-in was pleasant. Easy parking 3 stars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have.
