I would like to say the best thing about theater is the people who work there. The worst is that…read morethe bathrooms are only on one floor (in between the two floors where the movies show). I am in a wheelchair so it's a pain to go up and down and wait for the elevator, which can be slow at times (and I had to cancel a trip due to the elevator being down one day). Other than that, it's usually quite clean and the food is usually hot and ready. However, they only have concessions on one floor, and there was a time I had to skip refreshments as no one was at the counter, I think they were in the back putting up new stock, and I had to leave due to my movie starting. A few times I missed out on specific food items as they were either totally out, or they didn't have an extra employee to go to where they stored it to get more. Understanding, but disappointed. I've worked retail all of my life, so I know how those things can happen. I would say they need to get new carpet, but that is a small quibble. I noticed a few people comment on the drink area being a mess. Usually, this is the direct result of rude customers, not cleaning up after themselves or not watching their children. Usually, the issue doesn't last long. It does get cleaned up. But if you are one of the people who are following the rude customers, you probably, don't care. You're just upset with what you are walking into. Just politely let one of the workers there know and I'm sure you they will tend to it right away. Unfortunately, the employees can't keep an eye on all of the customers all of the time, so, politely letting them know, will help them fix the problem. I recently moved close to the theater, so I am taking full advantage of their unlimited program. Very nice. I will say the selections of the classic movies, that are for one day only, can either be great or very lackluster. And for some reason in the summer, they don't show the extra movies (classics). The quality of the movies coming out can be rather hit or miss and lately, they have been more miss than hit, so it's always nice to have a classic movie to fall back on. I love how they show older B&W movies since TCM is no longer available to me. But I also love all of the classics from the B&W era through the 90s and even more current movies that have been out of the theater more than 5 years or so. It's always a great way to catch up to everything I missed before. I love movies. I have a huge physical media collection, but nothing replaces the magic of the Big Screen. Big pluses are the staff, the theaters are nice, 4DX is great (and even though you have to pay a surcharge if you have the unlimited pass, it's only a fraction of the full 4DX price). I would recommend if you go more than twice a month to get the unlimited pass, as it's a definite bargain. I would highly recommend this theater.

If I lived in Seattle I would be frequenting this Regal theater!…read more I moved from the Boise Idaho area to Puyallup, WA at the beginning of the year and one thing I had been missing from my time in Boise was seeing movies in 4DX! if you don't know what that is, it's an intense and thrilling amusement park style movie format with seats that move like a ride, and special effects like scents, water, flashing lights that happen throughout the movie! It's my favorite cinema experience and worth every penny but sadly Washington state only has this format at this theater an hour away from me. Me and my cousins were having a girls day in Seattle though and I suggested we see the new Michael Jackson movie in 4DX- it was incredible! I will return whenever possible to see a film in 4DX!

I've been going to this place for many years, and even signed up for the rewards a few years ago, and it's one that actually pays off with many perks and benefits It's clean, well lit in main area, comfortable seats, and pretty good sound. They do have the classic snack bar concessions where all your snacking and food desires will be handled. I will continue to visit this AMC when reason allows, although I'll admit travel doesn't always provide me the time.

I've been here many times over the years and my most recent visit it looks exactly the same. Seats could be comfier and wish they had recliners but definitely aren't the worst. Staff were nice. Popcorn was tasty. Butter station was clean. The sound and screen quality was good. Overall we had a great time. We saw Exit 8 here on my birthday night and it was an amazing movie! Thank you AMC :)

I am rooting for this movie theater. In its glory days the front windows weren't smashed and the…read morecardboard boxes weren't left in the front entrance with urine stains and needle caps. Even during the homeless days with the Capitol Hill and U District tweens with patchwork jackets and dogs mobbing around in packs this theatre was in good condition. I have over 20 years of memories coming here watching indie movies like Pirana, docuseries to Siff films. I also watched plenty of blockbuster films. My fondest memory is the smell of the popcorn that fills the front space. It is so distinct and the melted butter and grease on my fingers rubbed on my movie ticket is nostalgic. I love the indie vibe of the workers. It was a polite Seattle cool, depending on the era a little emo and punk, with some grunge. The attitude was very U District. I hope this theatre can raise the funds to fix itself up. It is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't get boarded up. It still has so much life left.

I looked into other reviews prior to going to the Varsity Theatre but it seemed like people were…read moreeither raving or hating on it. At this point it felt like it's mostly dependent on personal preference so I decided to go in and find out. I thought the place is decent. The biggest attraction is that tickets are probably the cheapest in the area. Regular ticket price is around $16 for Seattle but it's $10 at Varsity (as of December 2023). And you get a dollar off if you're a student. Also you don't even have to buy the student tickets in person because you could just order them online (other places like AMC downtown, you have to go in person). I made sure to bring my student ID in case if they want to check, but it was never checked onsite. I think it's a little more shabby than AMC and other more commercial theaters, but it does its job. The movie started on time and there were no issue throughout the movie. I wish they could just shut off the ads before the screen turns on at starting time because you're facing a blue screen that shows nothing while the ad is blasting. On the other hand, I liked that there aren't that many previews to watch through to get to the actual movie I came to see. The bathroom is two flights up the stairs from the ground floor. It's well kept and smells ok, but they probably have to check the toilet paper inventory more often. By the time I went in, there were no toilet paper left at all so I didn't forget to inform the staff that before leaving. The staff was polite and accepted my remarks in good spirit.

This place is the ultimate antidote to the 'daily grind' of being a functioning adult. I recently went to the 80s Singalong and, let's just say, the house was so packed and the vibes so high that I found myself on stage giving a performance that nobody asked for but everyone deserved. The food is made from scratch (and tastes like it), and you can order it via QR code without ever having to pause your high-note attempts. Pro tip: Parking in this residential pocket is a competitive sport--bring your friends in one car so you have witnesses when you finally find a spot three blocks away. 10/10, would lose my voice here again.

It really made me feel like I was INSIDE the movie. It was right in your face. I was lucky enough to get there early and was able to get in line early and get good seats - upper middle. I think this is the best seat. I imagine it wouldn't look as good if you sat really low or really on the edge though. There's no reserved seating so make sure you come here early. Also, the seats are really packed in tightly so once you go in, it's hard to get out. Get your bathroom break and concessions in early! Will be back here for Dune!

Do you have any idea how much my back hurt, sitting in tje fuckin neck-break row (The very front row) For THREE HOURS watching  DUNE 2??? Having said all of that, let me explain what I DID enjoy about my experience at The Boeing & PACCAR IMAX Theater at The Pacific Science Theater. It is the 2nd largest IMAX screen on the West Coast. The screen itself is 60 feet high by 80 feet wide & was introduced in 2015. The sound system is digital & is all encompassing in this somewhat dome-shaped theatre. After leaving the theatre, I am now considering getting a bigger smart TV (75-85 inches). The BEST addition, in my opinion, is that they have recently started selling craft beer & wine. Only local breweries & wineries so they are helping local businesses as well. Which is VERY fuckin cool. Now, would I recommend this theatre after all the bitching I just did? YES. NOW that I know what to expect, I can plan accordingly. Plus, this theatre has such a dedicated crowd of regulars. While I was there, it was apparent that a lot of these people enjoy seeing movies there and that made it suck a LITTLE less.

Unfortunately, when we arrived the theater was almost completely full (even though it was still about 20 minutes to show time) and we had to sit in the second row from the screen.

And you are still getting a lot of food. All the staff was very friendly and helpful.
