The seats are excellent, the people working there are also excellent, but the app regarding the food is crap! It is hard to use and really doesn't work. I had to leave the movie and get a hold of someone to help me give my order. He wanted me to do so at the computer in the doorway -- but I'm watching the movie and had lost a lot of it. Geesh! I was starving too. The server, on the other hand, was excellent and the food did not take a long time to get there. read more

I rarely go to the movies because I am work alcoholic. I recently took a chance after my doctor appointment to catch a movie. The place was very clean and cozy. I loved the decor and staff were attentive. Only downside it was cold in the theatre I wish the chairs were heated but they are not I do like the self services soda fountain. read more

Expensive tickets, but nice venue. Went to see Practical Magic 2 and unfortunately got a little too much practical magic when a coven of mice emerged from under one of the seats. It's fine though I've never been one to put another diva down so I did, respectfully, pretend they didn't exist. It was nice getting service to my seat though! I got a pomegranate martini. The seats were surprisingly plush, considering the ambiance was otherwise giving Ratatouille. Practical Magic 2 was a great movie, so it was all worth it in the end. read more

I I had a great experience again today at the super lux theater. Hopefully they will bring back the full menu and open the bar I went back their again today not been in a year and a half due to me getting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Glad to be back there again. The food was amazing. I had the taco trio and for dessert the 4 chocolate chip cookies. You brought back the brownie sundae. Will try it again next time. Oh yeah read more

Amazing heated recliner seats, with multiple adjustments. The theater is spacious with a small number of seats, and they even have a full menu which they bring to your seat! Sound and picture quality were also amazing. Of course you pay for it (over $20 a ticket), but I thought it was well worth it for the experience. read more

The super Luxe is a premium movie going experience. The theater is lovely and spacious and the service is prompt. We ordered drinks in advance and then ordered food when we got seated. My friend had a crispy chicken on a salad which she said was delicious and I had the Luxedilla , which was a quesadilla and was also very good. My margarita was a little too sweet and seemed to be a little light on tequila. The seats are comfortable, but the head doesn't recline as much as others like those in AMC. Still, a mighty fine movie going experience. read more

My family and I frequent the Chestnut Hill movie theater, and while the food used to be decent, the quality has gone downhill lately. The last few times I've ordered, the food has arrived late, cold, and either undercooked or overcooked. This time, I tried the bento box and it was cold, lacked flavor, and honestly not even worth taking a picture of. For nearly $27, it wasn't worth it. I also had the pepperoni hot honey pizza, which was actually pretty good--but overall, I'm not sure I'll be ordering food from here again. It's just too expensive for such an underwhelming experience. read more

I have been going here for years. Last night we had an experience where a mouse crawled along the wall next to us and then 15 minutes later a woman in the back row screamed there were mice and ran out of the theater. Honestly, I think it's a problem at The Street, but it makes me question the cleanliness and food. I also dislike that they have switched to ordering before you sit vs while you're in your seat. Not the experience it used to be. read more

Nice environment - folks that work there were polite and helpful. Great seats, enjoyed the food and beer.

We're extremely disappointed by our experience at this theater and feel it's important to share what happened. We booked the 8:15 PM showing of Thunderbolt and spent over $150 between tickets, food, and drinks, expecting a relaxing, luxury movie night. To make it even more frustrating, this wasn't just any night -- we're two overworked parents who rarely get a night out alone. This was our long-overdue date night, something we were both really looking forward to. And this is the experience we got. Everything seemed fine at first -- we ordered food, and even a second round of drinks. But about halfway through the movie, we started noticing something that completely ruined the night: mice running up and down the theater stairs. It wasn't just once or twice. We kept feeling things brushing against our legs and arms -- and when we looked down, we were horrified to see mouse droppings all over the floor behind and beside our seats. At that point, we couldn't focus on the movie anymore. We couldn't even finish our food. The rest of the time, we were on edge, afraid mice were going to run across our feet or up our seats. The fact that this happened in a theater that promotes itself as high-end is unacceptable. The level of filth and presence of rodents is not only disgusting -- it's a serious health concern. We have photos and videos to back up what we saw, and it's clear this wasn't an isolated incident. We left feeling disgusted and incredibly let down -- not just because of the environment, but because we spent a good amount of money on what was supposed to be a well-earned, peaceful night together. Instead, we got stress, discomfort, and a theater filled with rodents. We truly hope management sees this and takes immediate action. No one should have to go through this -- especially not parents just trying to enjoy a rare night out. read more

Love this theater! It's always clean, simple, and organized! I love that you can get food delivered to your seat. The pricing is great for what you get on the ticket price.

Great if you just want to go see a movie and relax , I have seen some of the reviews, but when I went, it was spacious clean. The waitresses brought the food to you and it made it a very pleasant experience while watching the movie. read more

I really enjoy this theater because of the size and the comfortability except this time my seat warmer didn't work. However I did take the opportunity to order from the seat and surprisingly my burger was delicious and I did order the guacamole except it came with salsa which I really didn't appreciate I mean if it's gonna say salsa and guac they should say that. I don't feel I got my money's worth but I got a shit ton of tortilla chips leftovers. I realize this is not a five star experience for experience diners, but for a movie goers, it beats just eating popcorn and candy. read more

I wasn't impressed with this "Super"lux branch of Showcase. It has Davio's inside the theater, which is a fairly fancy restaurant with a hefty price tag of itself. The ticket price was a few dollars more than the Showcase back at home. Also, they didn't have cherry coke, which I've always managed to get at any theater, but I guess it's not Super enough to be on their list. The other noted enhancement is the chairs have 3 settings to recline and include a tray with a menu. Then you have staff walk around in the dark looking for who the order belongs to. read more

And the manager reached out to me and was going to send me some tickets as compensation and never did. Such a poor experience.

My husband and I love going to the movies in date night, and decided to see The Naked Gun this weekend at this Showcase. This is easily the nicest movie theatre we've been to. The food is good, and they have a decent selection of movie snacks, appetizers, entrees, etc to be delivered to your seat, and we felt like the prices were fair considering it's a movie theatre w/waitstaff. We never figured out how to get a icee through the app, but they had them in the hallway. Theatres are definitely smaller than a standard, and the seats were very comfortable. This is absolutely the perfect place for date night, and we even wish we planned it for a double feature! read more

Went to the movies here on Saturday night. Had to leave about an hour into the movie as a mouse/rat ran across my wife. I actually reached out to them for a refund and was just going to leave it alone. Never heard back, no action, which confirms they know this a problem. While the idea of the mechanical chairs is great - the fact that food, crumbs, etc. can fall in them and they can't be thoroughly cleaned is disgusting. This seems to be a big issue and management is doing nothing to address it. Do NOT come here, so gross. read more

RAT INFESTED My girlfriend and I were enjoying the 9pm showing of Wild Robot on 10/10 at the Chestnut Hill location, when I heard a scratching noise right next to me. I turned around to see the biggest mouse right on the wall right above my girlfriend's head. We stood up, startled, and the rat disappeared. Wanting to finish the movie that we had paid for, we sat back down, and over the course of the next 10 minutes, saw 3 more mice in the vicinity of our seats. I told one of the cleaning staff about the mice after the showing, and he smirked as though he was aware of the situation. I asked for the manager's number to complain directly, and he said that the manager had already left. This is an unacceptable lack of hygiene, especially given the premium that we paid to watch this movie at a Superlux location. read more

I went to the Showcase Superlux to see Avatar: The Way of Water and the overall experience was a good one. The parking space was adequate, bathrooms were clean and the lobby had good lighting. The actual theater room was clean with the reclining and heated seats. We didn't partake in snacks because the line was super long and the place was super packed. Would recommend giving yourself a 30 min window before movie start time if you plan on ordering snacks. I also think there might be an option to order ahead and I would strongly recommend that. Great option for movie night....especially for a three hour long movie. Check them out. read more

This is one of the nicest movie theaters I have ever been too. You can order food at your seat. They have a nice menu. It is pricy though. Ticket prices vary during different times of day. Ambiance is amazing. Chairs are reclining and very comfortable. Screen is huge. Very modern, a great experience. read more

I've been going to this movie theater for about 9-10 years now and it's always been a good experience. Made the switch to SuperLux after the AMC closed down. The cinemas are relatively small, some containing about 7-8 rows each. The seats are comfortable and recline. I usually go for LiteLux since it's cheaper. There doesn't seem to be much of a core difference between Lite and Super, though some cinemas have it where Super allows you sit in the back (easier on the eyes). Very strange. Tickets are around $15-20 for LiteLux. Food is expensiiiive, however. A medium soda will cost you about $7. Come here if you're looking to spend on The Street. Everything here is pricey. Or save your money. read more

Awesome place to see a show. Comfy seats fun concessions that actually have pretty decent food from what I've tried so far and alcohol if you want it. Bonus: right next-door to Davio's for pre- or Post show food or drinks read more

Such an amazing movie experience. It's clean, aesthetic, and overall quality is much better than other movie theaters around Boston. I would rather pay more to sit in a nice chair (that's also heated!!) instead of a cruddy/ filthy chair elsewhere. They also offer food services that deliver right to your seat. AMAZING!! Probably my go to movie theater as there are plenty of parking and food options around. Overall, just a pleasant experience. read more

This is the epitome of a swanky theater. From the fancy light fixtures at the entrance to the bar and upscale lobby seating, showcase lives up to the "superlux" name. We arrived a little early and since we had some time to spare, we hung out at the bar and ordered drinks. The bartender was friendly and attentive. He actually ended up following us into the theater and taking our lunch orders - steak sandwich, wings, fries, and steak frites. As we waited for our food, we enjoyed the complimentary buttery popcorn and the spacious reclining and heated seats. They brought over blankets and water. A few minutes into the movie, our food arrived. It was good for theater food and they did better with the snacks - wings, fries, sandwich, dessert, rather than an actual entree such as steak frites. Thankfully our expectations weren't very high. The only issue that we had regarding service was that on my first visit, my dessert never came out. On my second visit, the service was excellent. They offer lux lite and Superlux seating. Both times we've opted for the more luxurious superlux experience. If you're looking for a really nice theater that charges a pretty penny ($28/ticket) for the little things - nice seats that warm up, popcorn, blankets, and seat meal service, this is the place to go. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Bought 3 tickets to see a movie here last night. Got there and the building was experiencing a power outage. Was told to call back the next day for a refund. Called today and was told they don't do refunds. Not exactly "superlux" of you to steal $60 from me. read more

I'm shocked that me and my boyfriend couldn't even watch American Fiction (a movie which plot is centered on race relations) in peace without being harassed by the staff. My boyfriend went outside to take a phone call when a white young woman employee chased him down accusing him of not having a ticket. Even upon showing the ticket to her she called for the manager. The manager arrived and proceeded to apologize to my boyfriend. In the midst of the apology the young white woman begun crying and asking the manager: "What about me?" I guess it's dangerous to be black in this movie theater. Hire better staff! Needless to say I will never step foot at this establishment again and I recommend that no other black person as well read more

I loved this theater before the pandemic, but the experience has gone severely downhill. Last time I was there, a mouse ran across my foot and when I checked behind my seat, there were mouse traps hidden. I saw another running up the aisle. That grossed me out so much I was on edge the whole movie and didn't feel comfortable ordering food. I told the manager about it and he apologized but seemed unsurprised and didn't offer anything to make up for the bad experience. I emailed the parent company and never heard back. They know they are full of rodents but apparently don't care enough to close the theater long enough to deal with the problem appropriately. read more

I reserved my seat online with an understanding they were not serving food and drinks. I got to the theatre & asked the attendant if i could bring bottled water inside. She said no. Kinda stunned to see a man bring in two large slurpees for him and his friend Not only did my seat not recline back or foot rest tilt up, the movie was not what I expected. The synopsis for Night Shift was endearing, but in person it was truly boring. Don't waste your time. The End read more

Showcase SuperLux Chestnut Hill - Horrible experience... - Cinema Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I used to love this place. Waitstaff bringing you free popcorn, free water, and of course the $5 off the price of food. It was worth the $20++ cost of a ticket. Now, it's still more than $20 for a ticket and you get no popcorn, no water, and no discount on food. Why pay well more than any other theater when there's nothing here to make it worthwhile? Other theaters sell drinks and have food as well as concessions, but are much better priced. read more

Great experience - it's was a Las Vegas worthy experience. Tickets are pricey but worth it. SuperLux $28 includes $5 food discount, free popcorn and soda/refills, personal blanket to keep the chill off. Order your Davios food and drinks on an iPad and get personal attention from waitstaff. A must do at least once read more
