Quick, clean, and a great deal! We saw the new toy story 5 Theater: The theaters are on the smaller side, but comfortable... No recliners though but that's ok!!! The bathrooms were clean, which is always a huge plus for us. There was popcorn everywhere in the halls though. Snacks: Popcorn is refillable no matter the size, so think that through before sizing up... You get to fill your own bucket as many times as you want. Staff: The staff was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our visit. Parking: There is tons of parking in a huge shared lot, and they have a wheelchair ramp available if you need it. PRO TIPS: 1-The main entrance does not face the road. Don't make the same mistake I did--you don't need to climb the outside stairs! 2- It was a bit warm in the hallways while we waited for the show. The theater itself was a little cooler, but during the heatwave, it struggled just a little bit to totally beat the heat. I would definitely tweak that during 90+ degrees. Overall, excellent prices and highly recommend! read more

Nice theater. $8 for matinee. Free refills on popcorn any size and you self serve the popcorn which is pretty amazing! Small theaters though, and if you pay on line, there is no assigned seats. So if you come , you may not get seats together. You'd have to come very early to insure you get the seats you might want, so that's the down side. Staff are good, plenty of parking! read more

So happy this place finally reopened! I love that it's a mom-and-pop movie theatre that caters to the community. Beautiful new seating that reclines comfortably comfort snd each theater is a decent size. They also have all the new movies (Saw Dogman opening weekend - highly recommend if your kid also loves those books). Also let's discuss how reasonable the pricing is here. $8/ticket for a brand new movie?! Yes please! Concession pricing is also very reasonable and the popcorn is self serve. We didn't indulge this time but I've never seen a self-serve popcorn refill in my life. Support your local movie theatre and please be respectful and clean up after yourselves. We will definitely be coming back to South Bay again. Plenty of parking in the lot and entry from the back. read more

Independent movie house so they do some films the chains don't. But not enough. And a lot of old movies you can stream or see on DVD. The theater we were in (they have 5) was tiny: 34 seats. They offer free refills on popcorn so we shared a small ($6.50) & got a refill. It was pretty bad popcorn (but to be fair, I think all movie popcorn is terrible. I prefer to air-pop my own at home). Even though we sat in the last row, the way the seats are built, we had to look up; a bit of a strain. The sound was way too loud for such a small theater. $8 bargain Tuesday, but also all matinees for seniors are $8 so prices are good (especially if you are a senior or can go on Tuesday). Definitely better than the chains. read more

A movie theater that has been closed for years, renovated and reopened? I'm all for this Rockyesque comeback story! Small theaters but that is ok, I love the atmosphere and the price is right! Purchase tickets online and scan the QR code when you get there. Tickets were $10 on a Friday night and there is a Tuesday special. I didn't get any popcorn or candy but I definitely will next time. This is a hidden gem, check it out! read more

South Bay Cinemas - Narrow but long theater. Seats were recliners and very comfortable. - Cinema Near Me - Babylon, New York

Last night visited the South Bay Cinemas and seen Toy Story 5. We had a great family night. Admission prices half of what other theaters charge. Popcorn delicious and get this, free refills (on any size) from a really cool hot popcorn machine (no waiting at the end of the counter for an employee to notice you). Seating super comfy. Employees all friendly and pleasant. In a day when people stay home rather than experience a large screen event, this theater brings back the good ol' days of family fun viewing. read more

South Bay Cinemas in West Babylon is a convenient location with several movies to chose from. We went on a Tuesday evening, 4:15pm show. Not a lot of people but the theatre was very clean and the audio was at a perfect sound. Very easy to purchase tickets online. Look forward to enjoying more movies here. read more

This place was absolutely gross. It looked like a trash bin. Popcorn and full garbage cans everywhere. Floors were filthy and so were the chairs. I had to shower after sitting in that theatre . Not to mention the crowd was loud and obnoxious and no supervision whatsoever. They went back to the old ways. Don't know how they have such good reviews read more

First time coming here since it reopened. If anyone remembers the old theatre, this is a slightly upgraded version. No assigned seating. Only about 1/2 of all seats have leg rests (none appear to recline) and the seating is a lad tight. Screens looked new and the sound was good. Concessions are slightly cheaper than other theaters but there aren't any combos. The popcorn is self serve. Staff was friends and there is plenty of parking. Theater was clean. It's local so odds are I'll be back. Not bad...just nothing blowing me away. read more

They re open. & they're starting off with. $10 movie tickets !! Popcorn is self serve so you can come back for more!! The place is beautiful & clean. The movie rooms are small 4-5 rows of 10 seats each so approx 40-50! Which is great when going with kids! The recliners are new, comfortable, wide/ spacious! Definitely a must go! Wish they had more showings, will definitely return ! read more

We had my son's birthday party here and the team was so amazing! They were accommodating and kind. 10/10 recommend!

This place seems to be going down hill. The theaters are smelly and dirty as if they don't clean between movies . The chairs are nasty and broken . Price is cheap so I guess you get what you pay for . read more

good prices compared to other movie theaters, this was my childhood theater, a blast from the past thankfully it came back.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!! The atmosphere at this movie theatre entices you and makes you feel at home. I used to go to this movie theatre before it shut down, but since they opened back up, they have been nothing short of AMAZING. Whenever I walk in I always see the same 6'4 handsome worker offering to sell me tickets to their latest movies. The concessions offer free refills on the popcorn which is OPTIMAL even if you wanted to purchase the small popcorn. In the theatre the seats are EXTREMELY comfortable, and the atmosphere makes it easy to focus on the movie. If you live in this area and want to see a new movie, this is the spot that you want to be at. It's safe to say I'll be going here whenever I want to see a movie. read more

The best experience ever!! Everyone was professional and went out of their way to let us experience a wonderful day. I can't understand why anyone would go anywhere else. read more

This theater is old and the seating terrible... have to try to view the old screen above the old seating.,,,just surprised of the below par theater read more

So clean and affordable with comfortable reclining chairs! Glad it finally re-opened, the perfect community movie theater and come here quite often with my kids as I live 5 mins away! Highly recommended to all! read more

Dirty and rude staff at concession stand. Went to first showing and the floor was covered in popcorn and garbage. The seats all have butter finger prints from night before. Place was redone less than a year ago and it's already filthy. Girl with nose ring was rude when buying drinks. Came put to $11.50 and she gave me one quarter back. Then got upset when I said there should be two. No apologies or anything just sighing and huffing puffing. I'm done with this place. Back to regal in tanger. read more

New and clean The kids love have having there birthday parties here They supply everything from plates, drinks and popcorn You can even bring in food for them. And adults can enjoy a decent theater to see the latest movies. read more

Great family place! The kids loved it. Prices are fair. They don't hit you over the head for the price of a ticket and have free refills! Very friendly staff. read more

Small theaters, but nice seats and good food and drinks. I like how they have free refills.

Local small movie theater that's a ton cheaper than your large theater chain. Love that my kids can ride their bike there and go watch a movie. Need more places Ike this! Free popcorn refills! What can be better! read more

Happy that they reopened! Very clean theatre and great prices! I don't have to drive too far to see a movie now. So happy they're back in business! read more

Dirty / Nasty / cheap. Having had my cujones broken by someone wanting to go to a movie "because we never go to a movie" I relented to the whining and allowed myself to be taken to the South Bay Cinemas located across the trash strewn lot from "Big Lots". I have to admit, $7 for a movie kind of made my night. What do you get for your $7? Well surprisingly you get a first run movie. Unsurprisingly, you get to watch said first run movie in a trash strewn and decrepit theater that is long past it's prime. The first clue you are about to enter the equivalent of a dumpster with seats is the handwritten sign that no credit cards are accepted at "this time". Since the sign appeared quite old, I can only guess it has been quite a while since the thought of no longer forking over 2.5% to the credit card processors seemed like a good idea to the theater management. The concession people were busy throwing popcorn at each other as we walked by on the way to the seats - lord only knows if they swept it up and tossed it back in the popcorn bin? The seats were beat up and it took some doing to find two together where both armrests were intact. That being said the movie was fine - screen was in decent shape and the sound system appeared to be functioning. I'll go back but next time I'm wearing long pants with elastic cuffs- just in case... Huge trash laden parking lot. read more

This place is awesome, being welcomed by so many pigeons is truly a remarkable experience. There is a very friendly homeless man living in the parking lot who is willing to collect your recyclables at any time. I am confident they purchased their drapery from an Adams family yard sale about 40 years ago. The best money maker for this place would be for them to rent it out to a haunted house company in October. Wear clothing with zippers or bring a putty knife to pry your possessions from the theater floor if they are accidentally dropped. read more

This place is GROSS. I don't care HOW cheap this place is, it isn't worth your time. This is probably where the movie theatre bed bug epidemic STARTED haha. (no i don't actually know if this place has bedbugs but to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it did). The biggest problem with this place is the theatre iteself. The sound is AWFUL, the screeens are ancient and look horrible, the projectors are kind of dim, and the seats are falling apart. If you are looking for a cheap movie, visit the Seaford Cinemas instead. The prices are about the same, and at least that theatre is actually clean and staffed by friendly people. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars, based on the fun factor. Ok, so it doesn't have the bells and whistles as a fancy theater, however, it's affordable. $5 matinee and $8 regular... This theater has "charm" read more

We came here once to see a movie. It's very close to our house which is great for me because I can walk here or bike here easily. It's also located close to my gym. It's pretty cheap to see a movie here but you get what you pay for as the theatre looks run down. I actually thought the theatre was abandoned when I first started to hang out in the area. Despite seeing a modern movie with a time warpy type of feel it's still not bad to come to. read more

I used to go to this movie theater as a kid. They had cursory prices than the other two theaters on route 110. However the staff does not properly maintain the cleanliness UFC this location. It's always dirty in there from the lobby to the theater seats. Even for the lore price is not worth visiting. I wouldn't recommend anyone going here. Pay the extra $$ for better quality amenities and movie viewing experience. read more

Let's just start with the fact that I couldn't tell if this place has been closed down for 40 years or if this was the movie theater that I ended up at after the conjuring 2 was sold out everywhere else. The place is so run down and unbelievably dirty. My word of advice would be not to turn your phone flashlight on because I guarantee you won't want to sit down. Well I guess if there had to be a positive the movie theater looked like a scene straight out of the conjuring so I guess you can say it added to the experience. Although the place is cheap it certainly is worth spending an extra 5 dollars for a cleaner more welcoming environment. The seats are out dated and the quality of the movie is noticeably poorer than other theaters. At times it can be hard to even see the movie. Choose another theater read more

There's nothing wrong with this theatre some of us have been coming here since we were children it's people like u leaving bad remarks that hurt business's that offer value. Yes it's not fancy it's a theatre and the only theatre that's not a freakin rip off you get the value for your dollar it's cheap and convenient! I love South Bay cinemas and I hope they are there for a very long time and if all you people complaining get it shut down then I'm coming to your house for gas money and the other 7 extra dollars I have to pay to go to a crowded obnoxious overpriced fancy theatre further away!!!! read more

Putting aside that theater is dirty and it needs some reconstruction, I am not annoyed by that, for the simple fact that I grew up in a third world country where I didn't frequent luxurious places, I am used to this kind of look and to make the best out of any experience. The location is great, easy to get to with a nice parking lot. The attendants were nice and courteous. The movie tickets are the best, 5.00 off peak or 8.00 for peak. There wasn't too many people for a Saturday night which made it kool, less people, less noise. Enjoyed the experience with my son very much. It's the first time is a looooooooooong time that I got to a movie theater and don't expend about 100.00. My total cost of a great night out with my son 27.00 including ticketes, and meal. Btw, ask for no salt on the popcorn, it was the saltiest popcorn I ever had. My lord ! read more

They supposedly are remodeling soon. Although outside looks like nothing has been done. Hurry up, we are all waiting!!!

I came here to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. It was $11 bucks a ticket. They don't seem to care about you bringing in outside food here. I ate some baked tofu while I watched the film. I have concluded that I will no longer see 3D movies. The prices for movies here are nice and cheap in general. $7 for an adult ticket and $5 before 6pm. There were some really annoying kids in the front when we saw the movie. I wish they would have all gotten thrown out. All they would do is talk and get up and move around. If you want to save money on a movie and don't mind going to a run down place, come here. There are definitely better places to save money. Like P.J. Cinemas for example. This place looks closed from the outside, but that gives it a cool spooky charm in my book. It is a place that seems trapped in time. read more

I'm happy where I only have to pay $5 to see a new attraction. Yes it its to be updated but the ticket prices are the best.

Saw a movie there on a Sunday around 3pm and it only cost $5. I don't think you can even rent a movie from Blockbuster for $5. Yeah, the theater seems a little outdated - decor-wise - but that doesn't effect the quality of the moving you watching. And if it has, I haven't noticed. Theaters are small, get there early to get a desirable seat. read more
