    Theater inside view

    We went to see the Asian inspired movie, Farewell last night. My first time here. I'm amazed with the upgrade and change they made in this Livingston Campus or RU. The cinema is very clean and well lighted. The kiosk is their ticket counter too. I'll be back here soon.

    It's a great little theater! Granted the screens are not as big as a Regal or AMC, but how can you beat $7 tickets? (or $5 matinees!) They have weekly concession specials as well to get you in during the beginning of the week and it's an excellent bargain overall! The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, seats are comfortable and they have folding desks within the arms on either side to rest drinks and snacks. I work at Rutgers, so I love catching a movie after my day ends, but I've also gone on weekends and summers when it's families and neighborhood people (if I had a few kids and wanted to see a movie, this would be the way to go - any other theater will cost you a small fortune with a family!) I also heard from a co-worker that they offer birthday parties, and they do a good job. Check it out!

    Love this place and the prices are really good. Matinee is $5 only and there are always summer specials. During summer classes they offer one day a week to see a movie for free. Monday through Wednesday in the summer they offer specials such as free slushies on Wednesday. I love that this is used as a classroom during the day because that means each chair has a foldable desk for your snacking enjoyment. If you need a place to rent for an event that is also an option. Joselyn and Brandon work during the summer and they're super friendly. I come here at least a few times a month to enjoy an inexpensive movie. Check out their website for show times or to purchase tickets.

    Small theater with decent food and drinks. But this place is freezing. Wear layers please. Other than that, nice prices for nice movies.

    I am writing to share a very disappointing experience at the Regal Hamilton Commons (Trenton area…read morelocation). Our group of 17 people attended a screening of Dhurandhar in Theater Room 1, and the sound volume in the auditorium was excessively loud to the point of being physically uncomfortable. More than 6 members of our group developed headaches during the movie, and several others expressed significant discomfort and dissatisfaction. The volume level was not just Immersive--it was Overwhelming, Harsh, and Disruptive and Unsafe, making it difficult to enjoy the film. I personally went to speak with the manager 8 minutes during the screening and was told that the volume would be lowered. Unfortunately, it did not seem that any meaningful adjustment was made, as the sound remained excessively loud for the duration of the movie. 4 Hours long. Additionally, many other guests in the theater were also expressing dissatisfaction with the volume level, which makes it clear this was not an isolated concern from our group alone. A movie theater experience should be enjoyable and safe for all guests, but the sound levels during our visit were far beyond what would be considered Reasonable or Safe. This issue affected a large portion of our group and turned what was meant to be a fun outing into a very disappointing experience. We strongly recommend that management review and properly regulate the audio levels in Theater Room 1, particularly for screenings like Dhurandhar, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all customers.

    Fantastic location . Right on rt 1 .. lots of restaurants around .. good parking spots outside …read more Lots of Indian movies get released here .. good and neat inside . Audio and volume levels in some screen was too low . Service was fast .. expensive inside .we generally don't buy much inside . We went to an Indian movie in RPX last week and it was very good . Reclining chairs were very comfortable : loved the experience in RPX . Liked it overall.
